You're in the mood for love, but only want it if it's on your terms. Unfortunately, your partner has different ideas of how they want to express their affection for you. Don't feel snubbed if you are presented with a gift that seems thoroughly unromantic; it's the thought that counts. If the two of you are on completely different wavelengths, you need to make a greater effort to become better attuned.

A pressing debt makes you feel angry and resentful, and your first impulse may be to defiantly splurge. Before you get your credit cards out, consider how much time and energy you have wasted on financial worries. Taking steps to pay off your bills will make you feel much better. Yes, a new outfit will give you a momentary thrill, but your joy will soon turn to anguish once you realise how much you owe.

You're extremely passionate today, and are looking for a convenient outlet for this pent-up energy. And although it may be easy to catch the eye of a prospective bed mate, you may want to think before you act. Getting rid of this person may be more difficult than you expect. If you're already in a relationship, resist the temptation to stray from your beloved. Inject new energy into the bedroom with sexy lingerie.

You may feel confined and secluded due to unfortunate circumstances at work. Before you give in to despair, think of ways you can make your light shine brighter. Launching a diet and fitness program can turn things around in your favour. When people see that you treat your body with love and respect, they'll follow suit. Other work opportunities will arrive as soon as you adopt a more proactive attitude.

You love spending time with the gang, but your mate feels otherwise. Your relationship could be boosted with a few intimate dinners and cosy evenings at home. Don't accept every party invitation you receive, and be sure not to subject your beloved to large gatherings that are only fun for you. If you don't have a partner, it may be because you're too wrapped up in your friends. Set yourself apart from the crowd.

You can't do anything wrong as far as your superiors are concerned, but it's a different story at home. Consider whether you've been too pushy or demanding with your relatives. Alternatively, you may not be spending nearly enough time with your family. Whatever the problem, it is clear there is an imbalance between your professional and personal lives. Work to fix this situation, even if it means turning down prestigious or lucrative assignments.

You'd love to tell a know-it-all just exactly what you think of their pomposity. Before you make an enemy of this character, though, consider how they can help you. While you may not approve of their behaviour, this person could be in the position to write you a letter of recommendation or put in a good word for you with a prospective employer. Act in your self-interest at all times today; you won't be sorry.

Arguments with a loved one could come to a head today, so be careful. The two of you simply don't share the same values. That doesn't mean things will always be this way, but it should put you both on alert. Have a heart-to-heart talk about where you see this relationship going. Mutual compromises are necessary. If you're single, you may need to look beyond cosmetic considerations when seeking a partner.

Stealing the spotlight away from a business or romantic partner is a bad idea. Although you've never been more attractive and charming, it is essential that you draw attention to your associate's accomplishments. If they see that you're willing to yield the stage to them, they'll reward you with undying devotion. If, on the other hand, your thirst for fame seems unquenchable, you could find yourself dumped. The choice is yours.

You prefer pretending things are all fine and dandy, but something's weighing on your mind. Perhaps you can't find any spiritual meaning in the work you perform. Maybe you feel guilty about profiting from an unfair situation. It's even possible your current position is forcing you to turn your back on a dream. Whatever the source of your pain, you need to address it now, while there is still time to heal.

A romantic evening may be cut short due to social obligations. And while you'd like nothing more than to linger in bed with your loved one, it's vitally important to be available to a large organisation. Do your duty as quickly as possible; there may still be time to grab some private moments with your lover afterwards. If you're in a bit of a romantic slump, you just might meet someone special at a party.

Things are so lovely and pleasant at home that you hate going to work. Don't let your displeasure show or you could get into terrible trouble with your superiors. It's better to pretend you are passionately committed to your job, even if you're secretly looking for a new position. A certain phase of your career is coming to a close. Where would you like to be at this time next year? Make plans.
