Being in love is like winning the lottery as far as you're concerned. Having an outlet for your affectionate personality is liberating. You're always looking for ways to pamper the object of your affection. Extravagant gifts, loving compliments and kind gestures are natural extensions of your generous personality. If you're single, you could meet someone special via an online dating site. Be wary about getting involved with someone much older or younger.

Strengthening family ties is a big priority. You don't want to lose touch with people who have known you since childhood. Creating a newsletter on a home computer may be a good way to keep the channels of communication open. You can include photographs, recipes and family stories; be sure to ask other relatives to provide material as well. Your romantic partner may not be in a very good mood. Don't let their negative outlook stop you from enjoying your favourite pastime.

Express your appreciation for the people who make your life better. This can include anyone from the local barista who greets you with a smile each morning to your romantic partner to a beloved pet. The simple act of saying 'thanks' can be therapeutic. It feels wonderful to be a force for positive energy. Whenever you feel yourself becoming tired, anxious or resentful, make a list of the things for which you are grateful. Almost immediately, your spirits will lift and problems won't seem so bad.

Take this opportunity to treat yourself to a little luxury. Splash out on a new outfit or piece of jewellery. Enjoy a gourmet meal. Buy a cashmere blanket. Do whatever makes you feel glamorous and pampered. There's nothing wrong with treating yourself like a precious jewel. When you love yourself, all of your best qualities come to the surface. Your offbeat humour, tender heart and artistic talent will be evident to the world. Suddenly, your popularity will rise and invitations will come pouring in.

You're dynamic, proud and bossy. Calling the shots comes naturally to you. Unlike most people, you're very decisive. You know just what effect you want to create. Instead of deliberating endlessly over plans, you create a winning game plan with speed and precision. Making changes to your household won't go over well. Relatives and roommates will resent all the chaos this overhaul creates. Turn a deaf ear to their complaints. When everyone sees the final result, they'll heap you with praise.

You don't want to wear your heart on your sleeve. The prospect of betraying your emotions to rivals makes you nervous. You'd rather keep your own counsel. It is important to express your frustration with someone who isn't following instructions. Don't let your resentment build past boiling point. Pull your colleague aside and explain the problem in a clear, professional manner. Together, the two of you could find a way to achieve the desired results without entering into a power struggle.

A party will be a lot more fun than you think. Be sure to wear something special to this event, as all eyes will be on you. Instead of buying something new, choose an old outfit you haven't worn in quite some time. You don't have to spend a lot of money to look fabulous. If you don't own anything suitable, borrow a vintage piece from a sentimental Cancer or Pisces. You look great in bygone styles. You have the natural flair to carry off such fashion.

You're very sensitive to your surroundings. Set aside a few hours to tidy your home. If you're too busy to dust, scrub and polish, hire a professional cleaning service. It will be such a relief to open the door and enter a clean, orderly abode. Have you been working long hours? Take a few moments to prepare some food for the days ahead. Being able to enjoy home cooked meals will keep nervous energy at bay. Stay home, put your feet up and let your hair down.

An exciting adventure is beckoning. Leaving home for greener pastures will be exhilarating. Don't let fear get in the way of exploring unfamiliar vistas. Even if you don't speak the same language, you'll make friends through your wit and charm. Are you looking for love? You could find it while exploring an historical site, museum or city square. It will be difficult to resist the allure of someone with sparkling eyes and a fetching smile. If you see a souvenir that is perfect for a friend, snap it up.

Arrange a rendezvous with your most favourite person in the world. It will feel wonderfully decadent to skip work and spend the whole day locked in each other's company. Don't tell anybody else about your plans. The last thing you want is to have a bitter colleague telling tales about you. If you've been thinking about cohabitating with your romantic partner, this would be a good time to look for homes. You might find a perfect place in an unusual neighbourhood.

A close partnership helps thaw your icy reserve. Casual acquaintances would be shocked if they heard you using baby talk with your amour. You're actually quite sentimental. You just never show this side of your personality to the public. Keeping your personal and professional lives strictly separate helps you expert authority in the workplace. It may be necessary to exercise a little compassion towards a colleague who is experiencing difficulty at home.

A creative project gives you a great pleasure. You're never happier than when you're working with fabric, wood or beads. If you've always wanted to make money from your handiwork, this is a good time to try. Open a store on a website devoted to artisans. After the initial sales, you'll do a very brisk business. People appreciate your wonderful work and honest practices. Don't let a stern teacher discourage you from embarking on this adventure. Your potential is unlimited.
