Someone who is older, wiser and more experienced is willing to help you, but you must ask. You've never been comfortable in the student role, mainly because you like to set your own life agenda. However, by tapping into this person's authority and wisdom, you'll go farther than you would by going it alone. If you don't ask, you won't get in this world.

Honouring your elders is fine, but you have to remember that their experience does not match your own in certain scenarios. Listen to your heart today, especially when it comes to love and sexual decisions. The attitudes with which you were raised may be too restrained for your tastes. Go ahead and indulge your earthy sensuality, times have changed.

Sunday is hard for distinguishing between fact and fiction, but that doesn't matter so long as it isn't going to cost you in some way. If it it does then beware of manipulators using you for their selfish purposes. It's better to withhold your support until you're absolutely sure of a person's integrity.

Learning new skills is no problem for you but making friends is a different story. It's not that you are aloof or stand-offish; you're simply shy. Push past your fears and introduce yourself to a group that interests you. Very often in life we have to push the door to new experiences open, and once we're inside we wished we'd done it earlier.

You're energised by the prospect of a contest or competition. You are in championship winning form now so it may be virtually impossible to beat. Just be sure to be gracious in victory. Humility is important as by conducting yourself with dignity you could be in for some unexpected rewards. You never know who is watching, and in your case he/she is powerful.

Although you have many skills and aptitudes, it's important to focus on just one for now. Otherwise, you could scatter your energies and undermine your progress. Take up a course of study that involves analysis or fact finding. A sharp mind like yours needs constant stimulation. When it comes to tracking things down you're a regular Perry Mason.

A career that offers cast iron security fails you in creatively. You're better suited to a position that allows you to exercise your innate crafts and talents than being bored rigid. Yes, it may take a little longer to gain the prestige or success you hanker for, but it's better losing your mind via monotony.

You need to move forward with a self-improvement program, even if disparaged by others. Only you know what you need to thrive, flourish and succeed. If that means putting an end to a bad habit, so be it. The real reason others are upset by your decision is that you're going places and they're not.

Consider mechanical or study courses to get the job you want. It may inconvenient at the moment, as you have many irons in the fire. So sort out your options by making a list of your priorities and discover what it is you REALLY want to do. Once you have discerned the ambition inside your heart set the ball rolling in the right direction.

You can take the onus off yourself by concentrating more on the needs of others. Yes, you've had some tough breaks recently, but they're nothing compared to the pain others are going through. I know everything is relative but getting involved with a volunteer or charity campaign is ideal to raise your low state of mind or moral. Altruism can be healing.

Your personal aspirations cannot be fulfilled or excused by someone else: the buck stops with you. It's better to retain your independence than pair up with someone who doesn't complement your intelligence. If you leave your partner standing mentally then you must break things off, unless they can match your mind or show they can do what you can't.

You relate to somebody who feels like an outcast and want to help them. But beware of getting too closely involved. This person may be looking for a surrogate parent of sorts and could be an emotional liability or drain. An impressionable soul like you needs self-sufficient people who won't take advantage. Don't end up being a dogsbody all your life.
