You can accomplish a great deal today, both on the work and fitness fronts. Don't expect a family member to appreciate your efforts, though. This person would rather spend the day snuggled up together in front of the television than waiting for you to come home. And although their attitude is flattering, you can't help but feel bothered by it. You'd rather be productive than coddled. It comes with the territory of being a go-getter.

Trying to put a positive spin on a difference of opinion won't work. People are too intent on arguing to appreciate your desire for harmony. A mentor will be especially contentious, so stay out of their way if you want peace and quiet. One area that is pleasantly disruptive is your love life. Someone who is deeply attracted to you is no longer willing to keep their feelings a secret. Prepare for an intense encounter.

Money for clothes and other pleasures is tight right now, which is really frustrating. Fortunately, you can ease your material cravings with a soothing evening at home. Cooking a sumptuous dinner with loved ones will prove a welcome distraction. Don't be surprised if a relative starts acting up to gain attention. Fortunately, you find their antics amusing, which makes it easy to lavish them with tender loving care. Summon your nurturing side.

Take care not to get too wrapped up in your appearance, or you'll make the wrong impression. People are more interested in your brains than your looks. Don't hesitate to speak your mind, especially with an ambitious type who likes to laugh. This person will think you're captivating, and may even ask for a date before the day is over. Feel free to accept this offer if you're single. If not, revel in the admiration.

You long for a private, secluded place in which to work, but that's just not possible now. A whole variety of people want your input on seemingly minor issues. Use your popularity to your advantage. Ask for a raise or bonus of some kind. Authority figures will have a hard time refusing your request. If you're looking for work, don't be afraid to demand the highest salary possible. Get paid what you are worth!

You're independent and impulsive today, which helps you break out of your shell. There's never been a better time to pursue a romantic interest. Normally, you'd just sit and pine after the object of your affection. Now you're determined to win their heart by any means necessary. Pay no attention to friends who think you should adopt a wait-and-see attitude. They're not as courageous as you are. Take a walk on the wild side!

You have strong feelings about a difficult domestic situation, but it's best to keep them quiet right now. Adopting a reserved attitude is the best strategy. Flattery will get you absolutely nowhere today, as a family member knows their behaviour is shameful. Let your stern silence prod this person's conscience. At first, your relative may seem immune to your disapproval, but never fear. It will sink in eventually.

Your goals are as clear as crystal today, which makes it easy to realise them. Don't let others convince you you're too idealistic. The fact is, these pessimists are afraid your success will make them look bad. It's important to give someone with a foreign background the benefit of the doubt. Although their methods seem strange to you, it's only because you don't understand their culture. Ask questions instead of passing judgment.

Sexual fulfilment may be elusive, as people are more preoccupied with money matters. You're better off channelling your energy into professional endeavours. Going for an interview or applying for a promotion are both favoured. Authority figures admire your energy, initiative, and drive. Take control of an ambitious project. You're sure to make a success of this endeavour, especially if it involves motivating people to go above and beyond the call of duty.

It may be impossible to please a business or romantic partner. This person seems to find fault in everything you do, so there's no point in trying to please them. Instead of bending over backwards, pursue an exciting learning opportunity. Taking an exercise class or going on a trip will prove a pleasant diversion from all the sourness at home. Once your friend sees what a good time you're having without them, they'll mend their ways.

Colleagues are being argumentative and contentious, which irks you to no end. It's easy for a logical person like you to overlook personal problems for the sake of a project, but not everyone shares your sensible attitude. Fortunately, romantic prospects are a lot better than work conditions. Take this opportunity to wine and dine someone who has captured your fancy. The two of you will wind up in a passionate embrace this evening.

It's hard to cultivate romance when you're in such a quarrelsome mood. You'd rather make war than love, which is a real turn-off. Instead of picking fights with someone you adore, embark on a joint project together. Give your amour duties that are totally separate from yours. That way, you can work alongside each other without locking horns. If you're not in a relationship, it could be because you're not obeying your romantic instincts.
