People enjoy working with you, mostly because you're reliable, focused, and keep to yourself. Your popularity allows you to work alongside the most accomplished members of your team. Take this opportunity to learn a valuable skill from a colleague. This would be a good time to discuss surgery for a medical problem, but don't schedule an actual procedure until next month. Early November would probably be best. Discuss the options with a medical professional.

Lending structure and stability to a lover's life makes you a valued asset. Help your partner to become more organised. Assist them in cleaning out their closets, streamlining their files, and tidying their desk. Don't get sucked into doing the job yourself, though. Things will run much more smoothly if you work side by side. Your friend may grumble at first, but will eventually come to enjoy the entire process. Keep the atmosphere light by playing upbeat music.

Working from home could increase your productivity. Call your boss and see if this is possible. It will be a relief to escape that wretched commute. Fulfilling family responsibilities gives you a wonderful sense of purpose. It makes you happy to know you're relieving a relative of a dreaded chore. You're able to finish jobs in record time, thanks to your agile body and sharp mind. Following a nutritious diet will help you maintain a high energy level.

Mastering an artistic technique makes your eyes sparkle with excitement. You've been blessed with considerable creative ability. Learning to paint, sculpt, or play music will make you more imaginative in other areas. It will also increase your allure. Don't be surprised if a mysterious acquaintance comes forward to ask for a date. If you're already in a relationship, you may have to fight off an over zealous admirer who won't take no for an answer.

Long range financial planning can lead to a comfortable retirement. If you don't own your own home, take this opportunity to do so. Investing your money in a drab place that's in good shape will pay off handsomely in the future. You've got a great eye for detail, and can turn this property into a showplace with a little imagination and a lot of hard work. If you already have a house, you might want to consider investing in another property.

People have confidence in you because you are so serious and hard working. Don't be surprised if you are entrusted with some highly sensitive information. Alternatively, you could be asked to go on a glamorous business trip. The boss knows he can trust you to keep your nose to the grindstone, no matter how distracting your surroundings. Of course, you should reward yourself with a night on the town once you complete your assignment. There's no point in being a martyr to work!

You could get lots of help from a large company, government agency, or charitable institution. Don't hesitate to apply for a grant. Even getting a job at such a place could be like an answer to a prayer. The stability this organisation affords will allow you to afford luxuries that are dear to your heart. It's nice to have an employer who isn't vulnerable to the whims of the marketplace. Obey your conscience with regard to a business deal.

Strong and meaningful friendships allow you to assert your ideas with force. You know you have the support of a large group. Granted, there will be those who dislike your proposals, but these critics will be few and far between. If you feel stung by a rude remark, seek comfort from an older person who has had lots of experience dealing with the public. This confidante's advice will act like a balm on your wounded pride.

Your discipline and self reliance help you rise up the ladder of success. You'd rather work on your own than operate as a member of a large team. This may come as a surprise to some of your colleagues, since you're such a sociable person. When it comes to doing work, though, it may be easier to go solo. You hate being interrupted by nagging questions. Besides, you don't appreciate having to water down your ideas to get the committee's approval.

A friend could recommend a wonderful book or movie that broadens your horizons. Don't be afraid to try something new. If you want to gain entry to a cultural or educational institution, ask for a powerful associate to write a letter of recommendation. Who you know can be as important as what you know. Getting an advanced degree will increase your chances of realising a childhood dream. It's never too late to reach for the stars.

Putting away money for a rainy day is strongly advised. If your employer will match your contribution to a retirement fund, make the maximum contribution or it will be as if you are throwing away free money. If you are self employed, you need to explore the best way to make your income work for you. Get into the habit of putting a certain percentage of your income into savings each week. Sparks could be flying between you and an authority figure.

A strong sense of responsibility towards a loved one helps you to grow and change together. Take this opportunity to help your friend with a legal or business matter. Even a small gesture like sending a fax, picking up paperwork, or mailing a document can be a huge help. Editing a lengthy manuscript is another possibility. If you have to take a trip for work, you may want to team up with a perceptive colleague who can shed valuable insights on unfamiliar customs.
