You make a good impression on everyone you meet. It's mostly because you inspire hope. That's no small task these days, when the media would have you believe any effort to improve the world is futile. A gift for recognising the hidden talent on others will come in handy. If you sense a friend would excel in an artistic medium, encourage him to take a class. The results will astonish everyone but you. It just goes to show.

Trust your intuition when it comes to career matters. A potential employer isn't looking for a run of the mill worker. Therefore, the more imaginative answers you give, the better your prospects of landing the job will be. Any work related to theatre, music, or film is highly favoured.

A friend's letter of recommendation can turn the tide in your favour. Who you know is more important than what you know.

Your powers of communication could yield big money. If somebody asks you to write a document, report, or advertisement, be sure to charge a professional rate.

If your friend can't afford to pay you, offer to do a work exchange. Some playful banter could result in a hot date.

You have a good understanding of the kinds of goods and services people want. With this kind of insight, you could make impressive roads with advertising, manufacturing, and publishing.

Writing an entertaining personality description will result in some tempting offers. It will be nice to have the pick of the litter after having suffered a brief dry patch.

Breaking a destructive cycle is difficult, but it will be worth the struggle. You're tired of undervaluing yourself.

A meeting of the minds with someone special turns your thoughts to romance. The potential for a love connection is very real. If you're already in a relationship, beware of falling prey to temptation. The best way to combat feelings of lust is to focus your attention back onto your beloved. Make reservations at a fancy restaurant, and splurge on a couple of theatre tickets. You don't need a reason. You just need to rekindle those flames of desire.

Your attention to detail wins big points in the romantic department. The object of your affection is touched when you remember their likes and dislikes. Don't make a big display of this knowledge. Just carry it through in a thoughtful manner. For instance, you could cook your beloved their favourite meal without being asked. It's caring gestures like these that make a favourable impression. Stop pretending you don't really care about this person.

At times, you have difficulty expressing your innermost emotions. That's no reason you can't put down your feelings in a note. It doesn't matter whether you're angry or enraptured with the recipient. Just let the words flow from you in a letter or email. You don't even have to send this message if you don't want to. The important thing is to find an outlet for your sentiments or you could start losing sleep. If for no other reason, do it for your peace of mind.

The more knowledge you acquire, the more confident you feel. If you have any gaps in your education, now is the time to fill them. Taking a remedial course will be less painful than you think. Your fellow students will be in the same boat. It will probably come as a relief to realise lots of other people struggle with this particular area of study. An exciting job offer could come your way.

Your quick wit and sharp sense of humour make a great impression on a respected expert. Don't be surprised if this person offers to give you free instruction. You'd be crazy to pass up an offer like this. True, you'll have to juggle your schedule to accommodate this offer, but that will seem like a small sacrifice in the long run. If you can't afford childcare, offer to run errands for somebody who can watch your kids while they're at home with their own brood.

This is a good time to spend money on travel, education, or technical equipment. Any purchase that expands your mind and capabilities is favoured. Upgrading your computer could put you in line for an impressive freelance assignment. If you've always wanted to try your hand at graphic design, take a class.
