Go with your heart, not your head. A strong urge to spend time with family should not be ignored. Put work out of the equation and arrange an outing for your favourite young people. Being in their company will lift your spirits, too. It's been too long since you indulged your inner child. Don't let an unpleasant situation at work weigh too heavily on your mind. The situation will be resolved by the time you return to the office.

You're more decisive than usual, especially with matters of the heart. Going after the object of your affection will be successful. It's hard to resist your ability to put everyone at ease. Being in your company is like slipping into a hot bath. Don't hesitate to admit your ignorance about a particular subject. Your romantic interest will be happy to fill you in. Contrary to popular belief, being an authority on every subject is a definite turnoff.

Establishing greater financial security is your first priority. Look for ways to cut back on unnecessary expenditures. Put yourself on a budget and include a discretionary fund for impulse purchases. You'll be less likely to be extravagant if you give yourself a set amount of money for small splurges. Adopting a more mindful approach to finances will also deepen your appreciation for creature comforts like good food, fine fabrics and beautiful fragrances.

Feel free to be a little selfish. Enjoying a day of pleasure will make you a better partner, friend and neighbour. Although your desire to nurture others is admirable, it can also undermine your emotional well being when taken to excess. Resist the urge to put all of your plans on the back burner for the sake of a needy child or sick relative. Are you consumed with restless energy? Some brisk exercise will take the edge off and give you a healthy glow.

If there's anything you can't stand, it's witnessing cruelty. Confront someone who takes pleasure in wielding power over vulnerable creatures. By giving them a stern warning, preferably in public, you'll put an end to these abuses. Nothing scares a bully like having light shed on their bad behaviour. It also helps that you're extremely popular. When you express disapproval of someone's behaviour, the crowd often follows suit. Use your charisma for noble purposes.

You're no longer willing to uphold the status quo. Breaking free of a restrictive agreement will be liberating. Of course, it's a little scary to be on your own, but you will make a success of the situation. You have unique ideas that deserve expression. Having to dumb down these concepts for an employer or customer saps your energy. By launching your own business, you can find the creative fulfilment you've always wanted. Consider selling your goods online or working out of your home office.

You won't get swept up in a tide of emotion. While everyone around you panics, you remain cool as a cucumber. Take care of business, prepare a healthy meal and get plenty of rest. You'll be able to handle a stressful family situation with relative ease. That's because you realise a relative's outrageous behaviour is aimed at throwing you off balance. By refusing to take the bait, you'll maintain the upper hand. Never let them see you sweat.

You don't really care what people think of your behaviour, so long as you're obeying your conscience. Defying a direct order that offends your ethics is important. You might get in trouble with the powers that be, but that's better than harming innocent people. If you have to leave a neighbourhood association, so be it. This will cause a stir in the community. At first, you'll feel like a pariah. Soon afterward, fellow rebels will rally around you. Be the first to take a brave stance.

Powerful emotions prompt you to do something out of character. Usually, you don't wear your heart on your sleeve. That could change now you have met someone who excites your imagination. It's possible the object of your affection is unattainable. If that's the case, you need to channel your energy in a different direction. Launch a creative project, build something with your hands, or take up a competitive sport. Frustration can be a strong motivating force if you allow it.

Finding ways to be helpful to those you love is a great use of your time. Recently, you've been so busy with work that you've fallen out of step with your personal life. Take this opportunity to rectify the situation. Preparing a special meal or throwing a festive party will bring everyone together in a spirit of fun. If you're single, resist the urge to focus like a laser on a romantic interest. You're better off playing it cool.

This is a good time to attend to unfinished business that has been lingering on your list of things to do. Attack some seasonal errands, weed through your closet and sort through your in-box. You may discover a message you had forgotten. Be sure to contact the sender as soon as possible, offering sincere apologies. You don't want to get a reputation for being uncaring. Don't let a deep seated fear prevent you from taking a risk. It's time to venture into unfamiliar territory, even if it is terrifying.

Your competitive spirit has been aroused. This would be a great time to show off your creative work. Your efforts are far superior to those of a rival. In fact, an agent or manager could ask to represent your work. While this offer is flattering, you don't want to have to consider commerce when exercising your artistic side. You'd rather remain free and pure, which is why your work is so compelling. Keep obeying this instinct. It will take you far.
