You rule the roost, and won't let anyone forget it! Fortunately, you seem to be surrounded by admirers who are willing to cede the spotlight to you. Don't forget to call a friend who is alone today. If they are within visiting distance, issue a dinner invitation. If not, be sure to set aside enough time for a heart to heart chat. Just hearing your voice will lift your loved one's spirits. The prospect of an upcoming trip fills you with happiness.

The opportunity to travel abroad is both scary and exhilarating. As a general rule, you don't like leaving home. Lately you've been yearning for a change of scenery. Visiting a glittering metropolis will put you back in touch with dreams you dreamed as a child. Don't give a youngster mixed messages. If you don't want them to drink or smoke, abstain from such activities yourself or you'll be branded a hypocrite. Enlist the aid of guests when tidying up a big mess.

You'll receive some beautiful tokens of affection; it's nice to know you're appreciated! Several of these items will make your home more comfortable and attractive. Although you're not especially domestic, you'll want to spend more time in your abode as a result of these additions. Don't contradict an idealistic relative. Just because you think them naive doesn't give you the right to burst their bubble. Besides, it's possible their positive outlook will help your friend to overcome a stubborn obstacle.

A loving partner makes a touching gesture on your behalf. Thanks to their support, you're able to develop a pet project into a moneymaking venture. This gives you tremendous hope for the future. You enjoy making financial contributions to your household. In fact, you can't be comfortable until you're sure you're lending something valuable to the family's upkeep. Beware of giving your lover mixed messages about your love life. Be clear about what you like and what you loathe.

Adding beautiful clothes to your wardrobe enhances your personal power. You can make quite an impression when you emphasise your most attractive assets. It doesn't matter if you're overweight or have unconventional looks. Everybody has the potential for being a stunner. It's all a matter of feeling good about yourself. Model your behaviour after a bold adventurer you've always admired. Stop letting an old lover dictate the way you feel about certain flaws. You're in charge of the image you project.

Normally, you don't wear your heart on your sleeve. That will change today, when a youngster or lover makes a touching gesture. Be lavish with kisses, hugs, and cuddles. Being demonstrative is in keeping with your sensual nature. Don't worry what others will think of your effusive behaviour. If you throw a party, leave the cleaning until tomorrow or the lingering effect of the festivities will fly out the window. This is a day to be savoured.

Spending time with your nearest and dearest makes you realise what is truly important. Recently, you've been so wrapped up with personal responsibilities and career concerns that you've forgotten what gives you joy. Steal a few moments away from the crowd to work on a writing, music, or craft project. Exercising your artistic side always lifts your spirits. A manipulative youngster will act up as a way to get attention. Offering a treat will only send the wrong message.

You have wonderful ideas about making an occasion extra special for a relative. Catering to their desires with certain dishes, decorations, and music will make this gathering a big hit. Nobody is more thoughtful when you become focused on another person's pleasure. Ignore a request to go into work. In the past, you let your boss intrude on your private life. Now you're determined to turn over a new leaf. The days of you sacrificing happiness for work are over.

Someone will give you a cherished family heirloom as a gift. If this offering is to your taste, use it on a regular basis. Saving such a treasure for a special occasion would be a waste. If you don't appreciate it, give it to someone who will. Having unwanted items in your living space is a drain on your energy. Be precise when giving directions, or you might send a loved one miles out of their way.

Your magnetic personality brings out the best in everyone. People gather to your side like bees to a flower. Someone who is impressed by your creative abilities may ask to become your apprentice. Such an arrangement may be beneficial for you, too. Don't feel pressured into spending a lot of money on a social gathering. Guests will be just as happy with a casual affair. In fact, they may prefer it. This is no time to debate religion or politics.

Stop harbouring unrealistic expectations. Certain family members are determined to make trouble, no matter what the occasion. If a certain relative has a history of becoming abusive or getting drunk, don't invite them to a gathering. If the invitation has already been issued, be prepared to eject this pest at the first sign of disaster. Others are counting on you to set the tone for the evening. Fortunately, you can be very intimidating when you want to be. Exert your power for the collective good.

You've got to stop buying into your worst fears. Just because everyone is gathered together in the spirit of fun doesn't mean disaster is looming. Lean on a capable friend for help if you feel your fears are spiralling out of control. You have to admit, you have a tendency to make mountains out of molehills. You may be asked to make a speech or toast at a festive gathering. Keep your remarks brief, funny, and sentimental.
