Working in a quiet environment will yield impressive results. Although you enjoy mixing with people, their voices can cloud your vision. Take this opportunity to sneak off to someplace quiet where you can hear yourself think. If you've been wondering how to help a beloved relative, the answer will occur while you're focused on a different task. Pay careful attention to your thought patterns as you file paperwork, go grocery shopping or dry the dishes.

You're drawn to artistic, sensitive people who want to make the world a better place. By joining forces, you can create some beautiful work that enriches other people's lives. Don't feel intimidated by the skills of your teammates. You have just as much to offer. Whether you're painting a mural, taking photographs or pinning fabric in place, your efforts will be admired and appreciated. This project will get lots of favourable publicity and open some interesting professional doors.

Trust your intuition when it comes to a professional challenge. If you're not getting adequate pay, it's time to ask for a raise. Be ready to outline all your responsibilities and contributions. Your employer knows you are worth your weight in gold. After a little wheeling and dealing, you'll get most of what you request. Are you unemployed? You will be offered a wonderful job involving the arts. Accept it immediately. You'll love getting paid to exercise your creativity.

You will be called upon to serve as a teacher or counsellor. A compassionate approach to a difficult situation is necessary. You'll have to conceal your displeasure over some distasteful behaviour to solve an ongoing problem. Being cool, calm and collected will cause others to weigh your opinion more heavily. It's also important to reassure someone who has been hurt. Resist the temptation to get drawn into an emotional scene. Instead, offer gentle encouragement.

You have wonderful instincts about money. If you think an investment shows promise, put up a small amount of cash. You'll be richly rewarded for your faith. It gives you great pleasure to fund initiatives that promote the arts. Helping a jewellery maker launch a business, financing a showcase and making a donation to an up and coming theatre group are among the options. Cynics will later be astonished by how prescient you were about an artist's future success.

Having common values with your romantic partner has laid the groundwork for a strong partnership. There will be times when you disagree on how work should be performed or when to spend money. That's natural. In the final analysis, your first loyalty is to each other. When you realise your amour needs additional help, you're willing to make personal sacrifices. When you require a rest, they'll relieve you of work. It's a precious dynamic that should be bolstered with frequent pleasure outings.

Your heart is in your work. As a result, people enjoy working with you. They know you will go the extra mile to satisfy customers and produce impressive results. Consequently, you should feel justified in asking for a promotion. It's not enough to toil away in a quiet corner. You want fame and acclaim for your contributions. Stop being shy. Ask for a pay rise and increase in responsibility, as well as an attractive work space. You've earned all these rewards.

A passionate love affair makes you feel like you can move mountains. Persistent problems that used to get under your skin now seem like minor annoyances. Instead of pouring all your energy into work, you find ways to spend more time on pleasurable pursuits. Best of all, you have remembered to laugh at yourself. Giving yourself permission to be human deepens your appreciation for life. Embrace your flaws and be more compassionate and understanding towards others.

Your home life is a welcome haven from the pressures of public life. You've always been a social butterfly. Mixing and mingling with people stimulates your intellect. If you don't take breaks from these outings, you will suffer burnout. Fortunately, your family is eager to pamper you. Let them make you special meals, relieve you of errands and offer advice. It's hard for an independent person like you to accept help. The sooner you get into this habit, the happier you will be.

Trust your first impression; it's nearly always correct. Someone who gets bullied has enormous potential. By serving as their protector, you'll bring about a remarkable transformation. Encourage this newcomer to express their creative side and obey their instincts regarding public relations. With your support, they'll quickly become the most valued member of the team. Think back to when someone showed their faith in you and how they helped you.

You're very imaginative about making money. Hitting upon a brilliant idea for a product or service will be profitable. Fortunately, you are surrounded by capable people who can turn your dream into reality. Reach out to colleagues who have backgrounds in areas that will promote your cause. Be willing to share credit with these innovators. Together, you can achieve the financial security you've always desired and it will give you the freedom of choice you know you deserve.

Allow yourself to drift and daydream. Indulging your creative side draws romance like a magnet. If you have a partner, allow your amour to pamper and pet you. Accept a lavish gift with heartfelt thanks. Are you single? You could meet someone special while shopping for food, fabric or photography equipment. The object of your affection will be drawn to your humanitarian instincts, while you'll be enchanted by their wild laughter. This will be a match made in heaven.
