Falling in with fads has unfortunate results right now, so stay the course. Don't try any hare-brained scheme that a friend proposes, regardless of how harmless it sounds. You could lose more than your shirt in this deal. On the plus side, this is a wonderful time to establish a secure foundation. Searching for a home, putting a down payment on a piece of property, or starting a family are all favoured.

Loaning money to a pal will result in disaster, so don't do it. You may be accused of disloyalty, but that's better than losing hard-earned wages. The fact is, finance and friendships don't mix.

If you've already got a mate, the two of you should think about moving to a bigger and better abode.

Putting your needs aside for the sake of a loved one will cause your reputation to suffer. Don't let your eagerness to please cause others to lose respect for you.

Throwing yourself into a demanding project will keep self doubt at bay and turn a profit.

An unexpected expense keeps you laying awake at night, worrying about money. Instead of giving into these fears, fight against them. You can create the resources you need with a little work and a lot of ingenuity. Endeavours related to child care, entertainment, or art are especially favoured now.

A romantic partner who seemed all sweetness and light turns into a spitting cobra. Teasing remarks hit a nerve and cause sparks to fly. If you find yourself in the middle of a heated argument, make a strategic retreat. Right now, there's nothing you can say or do to ease this person's mind. If you're at a loss for things to do, pour your efforts into a home improvement project to settle your nerves.

Someone on whom you once relied is behaving erratically. Do yourself a favour and stop putting faith in this person. Otherwise, you'll do tremendous damage to your home life.

An authority figure is impressed by your resourceful attitude and will give you a handsome reward.

A childish impulse to indulge your every whim could land you in credit card debt. If you're determined to pamper yourself, do it in an inexpensive manner.

You've worked too hard to jeopardise all of your savings for the sake of a bad mood.

Preoccupation with personal matters causes a dramatic explosion at home. Friends and family need you more than you realise.

A business or romantic partner helps you draw closer to a cherished dream and while it's exciting to make all this progress, it's a little scary, too.

It may be best to avoid social scenes altogether, as they scatter your energy.

Impulsive spending on friends or social activities undermines your security. Beware of running up debts, as they will be difficult to repay.

You won't be able to get out of an unpleasant responsibility through charm. Avoid trouble by doing this work as quickly and efficiently as possible.
