This is a day for dreaming, not doing as practical matters bore you to distraction. If you have to attend to mundane duties, do the bare minimum. Spend the rest of your precious time on a creative project which inspires you and gives you a chance to show off some of your hidden talents. It's even possible to earn a little extra by selling the things you produce. Concentrate on designs today, not business. All work and no play is a sure fire recipe for mental exhaustion.

This isn't a good time to take financial or romantic risks; you've got to stick to the tried and true. Resist the urge to seduce a love interest with a sumptuous dinner or extravagant gift. The gesture will fall flat. Venturing into new sexual territory may not be successful, either. You're better off channelling your restless energy into a career matter. Revamping your CV or applying for an impressive job is highly favoured. Don't be afraid to ask for more money than is initially offered.

A writing project could get a lukewarm reception so wait a few days before submitting this piece of work to the powers that be. A shake up at your place of employment could leave your future uncertain. That's not exactly a bad thing, since you weren't happy with the direction your job was going. Take this opportunity to explore your options. Further education or travelling abroad are among the possibilities. A business or romantic partner may resist your plans at first.

You have a tendency to daydream, which could get you into trouble with someone who is trying to get your attention so watch out and don't get caught off guard. The last thing you need is for someone to complain about your job performance. A colleague who is trying to knock you off your pedestal could gain valuable ammunition against you. Do everything you can to get support from fellow workers. There's strength in numbers.

An unexpected expense could prevent you from going on a costly group outing. You're probably better off staying at home. Resist the temptation to put all your spending on your credit card or you'll get a debt that's very difficult to repay. Fortunately, an attentive partner is poised to pamper you. Let them make you a delicious home cooked meal or give you a long, languorous massage. You could use a little TLC, not to mention some steamy lovemaking.

You're in a bad mood, which colours everything you do. The best way to shake off your anger is to apply yourself to work. Go out of your way to assist someone who is typically overlooked. Performing this good deed will lift your spirits. A bossy relative may try to push you into a terribly inconvenient arrangement. Don't cave in to their demands. Other relatives will rally to your side. They're sick and tired of his tactics, too.

It may be difficult to attend to daily responsibilities, as distractions divert you at every turn. It's possible your computer or printer could conk out at an important juncture, too. If this happens, don't try to fix the problem yourself; enlist the aid of a professional. You don't want to do more damage to an expensive piece of equipment. A customer or client using foul language should be refused service or you'll open the door for further abuse.

Don't try to buy someone's loyalty as this gesture will ultimately backfire. If you want to get a person's support, you need to earn their trust by being consistent and exacting in your own work. Friends may not be sympathetic to a romantic problem. That's probably because they don't approve of your love interest. Consider whether their misgivings are valid. If you've had a history of picking irresponsible rebels, you need to seek a different sort of lover. Take a walk on the tame side.

Resist the urge to bully a business or romantic partner into an arrangement they don't want or your words will come back to haunt you. It's better to enact a compromise than to get your own way. Going on a short trip for pleasure will restore your warmth and affection for each other. This is especially true if your home life has been stressful. Public presentations aren't favoured today. If you're scheduled to give a talk, postpone it for later in the week.

You could be your own worst enemy therefore, stop telling yourself efforts at work are doomed to fail. It may take some time to gain the trust of a colleague, but your friendly overtures will eventually succeed. It's probably best to listen more than you speak when dealing with an emotional neighbour or sibling. They have been keeping their resentments hidden for quite some time. If she seems irrational, it's just because she has let old wounds fester. Be patient and compassionate.

Trust your intuition, especially with regard to a child or lover. Your friend has suffered a series of disappointments, and needs lots of tender loving care. It may be necessary to cancel romantic plans. Although it's disappointing, you'll have another chance to indulge your passion. A source of income could suddenly dry up, but this may be a blessing in disguise. Now you'll have more time for the people and activities you love. You can always find another job.

It may not be possible to get your own way now so don't take out your frustrations on the person you love most. You're better off channelling your anger into a creative project. You always feel much better when you're painting, singing, or dancing. Your boss could pull rank, forcing you to work over the weekend or give up your time off. Resist the urge to lash out. If you accept your lot meekly, your superior could have a change of heart.
