This isn't the best day for intellectual activities like paying bills, balancing your bank account, or replying to emails. You'll do better with hands on activities such as cooking, laundry, and cleaning. Unemployed? You could earn some quick cash by minding someone's children or pets. Granted, the money won't be spectacular, but at least it will help make ends meet. You could also hear of another job while performing temporary work. It pays to get out and about.

Trying to talk sense to a youngster will be a waste of time. There's really no logic to their behaviour. This child is just testing your boundaries. Be prepared to enforce discipline. If you let them off the hook, more bad behaviour will ensue. As far as romance is concerned, you'll do much better. People are irresistibly drawn to your special brand of charm. If you're single, you'll have your pick of several suitors. You prefer more intelligent types.

Relatives accuse you of being cold and detached. That's not true; you just trust your head more than your heart. If you get distressing news regarding your career, stay calm. Look at this as a chance to branch into an industry that has always fascinated you. You're the type who actually welcomes a change of pace. Unfortunately, your family doesn't share your love of the unknown. Turn a deaf ear to their predictions of doom. Head off to a solitary retreat.

Beware of blurting out other people's secrets. A nosy neighbour could probe you for information. By keeping mum, you'll prove you are a trustworthy friend. A legal matter could be putting undue stress on your life. It may be in your best interests to back down. Yes, it may involve hefty fees, but at least you'll be able to move on to bigger and better things. Friends are poised to offer support. Lean on them when you feel overwhelmed. After all, you've helped them in the past.

It may not be realistic to pursue a lifelong dream. Financial responsibilities force you to spend long hours at work. It's difficult not to be resentful of your situation, but consider how you are serving as a good example to others. One form of love is self sacrifice. By doing what is necessary to support your family, you will achieve an entirely different sort of success. Fortunately, it looks as though a glamorous job could be offered to you in the very near future.

People aren't very receptive to your ideas right now. It's probably best to avoid the spotlight. To add insult to injury, a close friend or fellow worker is pressuring you to take a more public role. You may have to get very aggressive about maintaining your privacy. Studying a foreign language or taking up a musical instrument will be a good use of your time. You need to be engaged in activities for pure pleasure. Not everything has to be related to making money.

Don't put too much stock in an expert's advice. You're better off following your instincts, especially communication matters. Talking to a manipulative woman is easier said than done. You may be better off cutting this lady off, at least while you have serious business to attend to. A computer, gadget, or car may need to be repaired. Get it fixed as soon as possible, or you could lose a lucrative job. An attentive lover could lure you into bed for a few hours.

Joint finances could get tricky. You need to sit down with a romantic or business partner to find the root of the problem. The two of you have very different attitudes towards money. Finding a middle ground is essential to your relationship's health. A youngster may resent all the time you are spending with friends. Scale back your social schedule in favour of spending quality time with them. This is a good time to negotiate a contract or business deal.

A difference of opinion could drive a wedge between you and a friend. Stop insisting your way is the only valid course of action or your loved one will start to resent you. Your home could require emergency repairs. Doing the job yourself will only compound the problem. You're better off hiring a professional. Granted, it will cost more money in the short term, but at least it will be fixed. Calm your nerves with a soothing home cooked meal.

Medicine may not be providing relief for a health problem. It may be necessary to get a second opinion. Be as specific as possible about your symptoms; it will help pinpoint the true nature of your condition. A loud fight with a neighbour or relative could put you in a bad mood all day. Let off steam by pouring your energy into a hands on project. Pottery, gardening, or baking will keep stress at bay. The fruits of your labour will be very impressive.

An unexpected expense makes you nervous about the future. Normally, you don't care about material matters. Right now, though, you're concerned you won't be able to cover your bills. If you need more work, spread the word among friends. Submit your CV to an employment agency and comb the newspaper for help wanted ads. You might find a job with unconventional hours. This will put a crimp in your social life, but it will put an end to your money troubles.

A desire for freedom could cause you to lash out against a loved one. Remember how your behaviour is affecting them. Sometimes it's easier to hurt the people who are close to you than challenge the real source of the trouble. A relative who undermined your confidence as a child could be affecting your choices today. A friend could refer you to a counsellor. Talking to them will be very therapeutic and result in improved relationships.
