You'll have to defend your interests from someone who thinks they can take advantage of you. You have no intention of making concessions to someone who uses emotional blackmail to get what they want. You'd much rather look like a heartless individual than fall victim to cheap tactics. Anyone who thinks you value money more than people has the wrong idea. You can correct this impression by later donating time and money to a good cause.

You're moving past a difficult situation. This is the result of hard work and perseverance on your part. Thanks to your ability to stick with a difficult assignment, you'll be given bigger and better jobs. You'll also get a handsome pay raise in the process. Instead of increasing your standard of living, put your extra income into savings. Soon, you will have a big enough nest egg to put a deposit on a home or car. Good things come to those who wait.

You'll win a fierce competition. The prize may not be as impressive as you thought. Whether you secure someone's heart, get offered a job or are given a chance to showcase your creative work, you'll be disappointed. This is a valuable lesson 'All that glisters is not gold'. Be more mindful when setting goals. Before you embark on a quest, be absolutely certain it is worth your time, money and effort. Sometimes it's best to be content with what you have.

You have a wonderful chance to take a relaxing break. If you're unemployed, seize this opportunity to go on a trip that you've been longing to take. Touring a sophisticated city will be a lovely distraction from job woes. By the time you return, you will be refreshed and energised. It will be much easier to attract a position that pays well and draws on your creativity. Do you have a great career? Don't be afraid to take time off work. You're long overdue for an extended holiday.

Getting a change of scenery will help you cope with heartbreak. Although it feels like you'll never recover from this disappointment, you'll soon be in a much better place. That's because you've been disillusioned by someone who isn't worthy of your affection. Once you get some distance from this relationship, you'll realise there are many more fish in the sea. Hold out for someone who sincerely loves you for your warm heart, glamour and artistry. You're the best, so there's no reason to settle for less.

You face a difficult financial decision. In this situation, it's better to go with your head than your heart. Although you feel sorry for someone, you shouldn't feel pressured to put yourself in economic jeopardy for their sake. Do what is best for your bank account. You've always been a compassionate, generous person. Making a donation to charity will ease your troubled conscience. Anyone who tries to make you feel guilty for pursuing a great job isn't really your friend.

Making a fresh start fills you with excitement. You're ready to break into a new industry, launch a business or embark on a romance. Any enterprise you try will result in greater financial stability. Having regular pay will allow you to pay off some debts. It will also let you save money, but only if you're frugal. Get into the habit of automatically putting a set percentage of your income into savings. You'll soon have a nice little nest egg.

Fighting for your beliefs comes naturally to you. You're not afraid to speak as you find. Although conventional wisdom says you should never admit your guilt, you think differently. Admitting wrongdoing won't result in bad publicity. Instead, it will win the admiration of people who are tired of corporate speak. Customers will admire your willingness to take responsibility for an error and correct the problem. Don't be surprised if you're offered a promotion as a result of your bold decision.

You're ready to take a chance, even if the outcome is uncertain. If there's anything you hate, it's being stuck in a stagnant environment. You'd much rather surround yourself with upbeat enthusiasts than downtrodden cynics. You will have a chance to get in the ground floor of a new company. The hours will be long, but the work will be interesting. If things don't pan out, you can always move on to greener pastures. Chances are you will enjoy this line of work.

You'll be put in a powerful position thanks to your clear cut thinking. Instead of getting distracted by emotional considerations, you're able to do the best thing for the most people involved. At times, you'll have to downsize aspects of the organisation to protect its financial interests. This is never pleasant, but it is necessary. Fortunately, you're easily able to do the job without losing much sleep. That's because you know you are operating from good motives.

Pay careful attention to your dreams. They are shedding light on an upcoming opportunity. The chance to study or work overseas will suddenly fall into your lap. By taking advantage of this opportunity, your life will go in an exciting direction. You'll have a chance to meet people who appreciate your creative vision. Instead of having to dumb down your ideas, you'll be able to promote them to the fullest. Being able to realise your plans improves your confidence and your reputation.

If you have a choice between taking a flat salary and earning a commission, choose the latter. You'll easily outperform the competition. Getting paid for being the best performer in your division will be profitable. Not only will you be able to repay a debt, but you'll earn more money for luxuries. Don't hesitate to buy yourself a beautiful luxury item you've been craving for months. You deserve a reward for all your hard work. A jealous relative will try to make you feel guilty for being extravagant.
