There's nothing wrong with having a spirited debate. If you stick to the facts and avoid making personal remarks, you'll both have lots of fun. You're determined to take a risk, but your romantic or business partner wants to maintain the status quo. If you're going to make an investment, use your own money. That way, if you do incur a loss, it won't affect your other half. Chances are your gamble will pay off handsomely. Take your friend on a glamorous holiday when you hit the jackpot.

Your productivity soars when your heart is in your work. Take this opportunity to finish a big project that has been looming over your head. Don't hesitate to follow creative impulses. Putting an imaginative spin on a traditional form will be effective. Not only will you save time, but you'll achieve impressive results. Customers will notice your distinctive touch and ask for you by name. If you've been longing to start your own business, this would be a good time to do so.

Going after your heart's desire should be your first order of business. It may not be practical to pursue a romance or start a creative project. Being sensible isn't always the best course of action. When you take a risk, you feel more alive. You take greater pleasure in your blessings and stop obsessing over minor setbacks. If you feel stuck in a boring routine, take some time off work to rest, relax and enjoy the activities you love most.

Working around the house is rewarding. This is a good time to brighten a room that feels cold and forbidding. Floor lamps that cast light towards the ceiling, reflective surfaces and angular patterns can draw energy into a dull, drab space. Don't hesitate to spend a little more than usual on quality materials. Home is where the heart is. Splashing out on your abode is like investing in your happiness. Are you dreading a visitor? Don't. This guest will infuse your home with joy. Let down your defences.

Having unlimited freedom brings out the best in you. Instead of being tied to a desk job, you prefer going on the road. Taking frequent trips stimulates your imagination. You should keep a diary of your travels. These observations can later be turned into a book. If you're up for a job, you will be selected. The competition is fierce, but your warmth, imagination and organisational skills will put you over the top. Don't worry if you're asked to undergo several interviews. It's part of the process.

You're determined to earn more money. If you haven't been making as much as your peers, it's time to demand a raise or increase your prices. People who are willing to pay for quality work won't balk. If your employer can't meet your demands, ask for other perks. Additional annual leave will take the sting out of your low pay scale. In the meantime, start looking for another position. You could find a great job at a government agency, hospital or university.

Don't keep your feelings under wraps. Normally, you prefer conveying an image of cool sophistication. Pretending to be bored when you're secretly thrilled is a mistake. Confessing a crush, promoting an artist or putting your work on display will be exhilarating. People will respond enthusiastically to you. It's hard to resist someone who is willing to wear their heart on their sleeve. If you go to a party, be sure to move and sing along with the music. This is no time to hide your light under a bushel.

Instead of throwing a fit and making demands, you prefer operating by stealth. An employer who appreciates your understated ways will offer you a promotion. So long as this job change offers lots of independence, it's worth taking. You're highly organised and professional. There's no need for you to be supervised by a micromanager. If this new position doesn't allow you to make your own choices, turn it down. You'll fare much better running your own business.

It's time to pursue a long-term goal. You've been coasting through life for some time. If you don't push yourself harder, you'll fail to realise your potential. Enrolling in university, going on an overseas trip or writing a book are among the possibilities. Fair weather friendships will fall by the wayside while you're busy. This is a good thing. It's time to put your energy into activities and relationships that uplift and sustain you. The few times that you are free, you'll appreciate these fleeting moments of solitude.

You're determined to reach new career heights. Don't balk if you're expected to work for a commission. Although you enjoy the security of a steady salary, you'll benefit even more from getting a percentage of the profits. The secret to your success is a profound understanding of your customer base. Knowing how to pitch products and services will draw repeat business. People who enjoy working with you will spread the word to friends and family. Soon, you'll have more clients, patients or patrons than you can handle.

Visiting a country known for its beauty and culture will be stimulating. You're tired of familiar surroundings. Exploring a place with soaring architecture, famous museums and beautiful gardens will give you a new lease on life. You'll have so much fun on this trip that you'll attract romance like a magnet. If you're single, accept a local person's offer to show you to rarely visited scenic settings. This will be a rare opportunity to escape tourist traps and experience how residents live.

Give in to your sensual desires. It's important for you to connect with the one you love, even at the risk of neglecting daily responsibilities. Sneaking off to a private hideaway will be empowering. There's more to you than being a dutiful employee, relative and friend. Are you single? You will meet someone special through a professional alliance. Being in this superstar's orbit will bring out your artistic side. Working on creative projects together will be the foundation for a beautiful friendship.
