Expanding your social circle should be your first order of business. The more people you know, the more opportunities you'll get. This is true as far as career and romance are concerned. Be sure to keep up with old acquaintances, too. If someone from your past invites you to a reunion, accept immediately. It feels good to be connected with people from your youth. They remind you of your childhood hopes and dreams. Why not revisit these plans now you're older?

An award, promotion, or raise could be yours for the asking. Don't expect such gifts to be handed to you. You need to make strong case for yourself. Whether it means scheduling a meeting with your boss, putting in an application, or interviewing for a high powered position is up to you. Voicing your opinion is critical at this time. By promoting your interests, you'll put them at the forefront of a powerful person's consciousness.

Expanding your horizons is critical. Although you've amassed a great deal of information, you have yet to put it to good use. Being a perpetual student is fun, but ultimately unfulfilling. Seek a career which draws upon your expertise. Yes, it will be challenging. You'll be forced to work with people who resent your superior knowledge. In time you'll win over your critics. It's just a matter of staying focused on your goals and doing the best job you can.

If you lack money to fund an important project, approach potential benefactors. A bank, educational institution, or religious organisation may be willing to help. It's all a matter of making a good case. Gather facts and figures to support your mission. Be prepared to answer probing questions about your background. Practice putting a positive spin on the weak parts of your presentation. By anticipating the questions and concerns of these creditors, you'll emerge victorious.

Making a choice between two delectable options will be difficult. If two rival lovers are vying for your heart, choose the one with an unorthodox education. They could introduce you to worlds you never knew existed. If you are trying to decide between job offers, pick the one that affords the greatest measure of independence. Can't decide on a college? Go with the one that is the most intellectually challenging. This is not the time to play it safe.

If you've been thinking of getting a pet, this is a good time to do so. Stop torturing yourself with thoughts you won't be a responsible caregiver. Nothing could be further from the truth. Yes, your home may become a little messier as a result, but maybe this is a good thing. Relationships are built on give and take. By bringing an adoring creature into your home, you'll stop sweating the small stuff and start learning to be more spontaneous.

Your love life is undergoing some exciting changes. If you're not satisfied with the current state of things, discuss it with your partner. Be gentle and supportive. The more specific you are in your suggestions, the easier it will be to implement them. Be ready to accept some criticisms, too. By working together, you and your lover can attain bliss. Single? You could meet someone exceptional in a quite ordinary and mundane setting this week.

Adopting a more generous attitude towards a relative or roommate is critical. The two of you have been at odds for some time. Maybe it's time to stop the power plays. By embracing their quirks, they'll try harder to live up to your standards. There's no point in trying to change a peacock into a wren. Although the attention your friend garners makes you uncomfortable, you must learn to live with it. If you play your cards right, you might even learn to toot your own horn.

Going on a business trip may be more fun than you think. Be sure to pack a variety of clothes, as you may have an opportunity to enjoy a night on the town. A business venture with a loved one, relative, or neighbour is highly favoured. It may be necessary to adapt to your partner's unorthodox work methods. Fortunately, you're not a stickler for tradition. Staying up late or working on weekends doesn't bother you, so long as you're having fun.

You have a lot more money these days. Therefore, you need to create a plan for capitalising on it. Make a list of your spending and savings goals. At this point, it's probably best to err on the side of savings, as you're having an exceptionally good year. Therefore, if you want to make a down payment on a house or car, start a fund now. This is also an ideal opportunity to add money to a retirement or college account.

Taking a calculated risk will pay off. Schedule a short trip to a place you've never visited. Try your hand at a story or magazine article. Take a course in a subject that has always fascinated you. By venturing into new territory, you'll reap significant rewards. Good news from an old teacher or mentor could reach your ears. Be sure to go out and celebrate. You're due for a night out with friends. There'll be plenty of time for work in March.

Vivid dreams have guided you in the past, and today is no exception. If you have a powerful night vision, you need to heed its warnings and follow its suggestions. Whether this means spending more time on your own, exploring spiritual matters, or developing your creative talent is immaterial. The important thing is to honour your subconscious. If you are delving deeper into a religious matter, you may want to keep this journey a secret or cynics could spoil the ride.
