You could be given a public role, which makes you slightly nervous. Refuse to fall victim to your fears. Tackle this job as you would any other. Don't think about your audience. Just proceed as if you're working alone in a secluded room. People will admire your confidence and will entrust you with glamorous assignments. This is your big chance to gain entry to a field you find fascinating. Try not to overdo it, or your health could suffer.

If you're seeking work, you may want to investigate humanitarian organisations. Working on behalf of people who are less fortunate than you is a great plan. Granted, such a job could put a damper on your private life. It may be hard to relax and enjoy yourself when you're spending most of the day dealing with sad situations. Fortunately, you're very good at creating healthy boundaries. You can switch gears easily if you put your mind to it.

Being properly insured is essential if you have dependents. Although you don't like to dwell on morbid subjects like death and infirmity, it's important to consider what will happen if you can no longer earn money. Think back on the actions of an irresponsible relative. Do you really want to put your loved ones in the same situation? Shake ups on the work front will make you glad you took these extra precautions. These days, you've got to cover all of your bets.

You're wise to be cautious about forming partnerships. Fortunately, someone special has stood the test of time. They have stood by you through thick and thin, in good times and bad. Your friend has been patiently waiting for a gesture of good faith. The time has come to give them a token of your esteem. Have a serious discussion about getting engaged or married. Alternatively, you may want to open a business together.

Take a job offer very seriously. Although this position will require a huge time commitment, it could lead to bigger and better opportunities. Right now, you feel like you're a big fish in a small pond, and you hate it, but you need more experience before climbing on the success ladder. The money you're being offered may not be great, but keep in mind you will be acquiring marketable skills along the way. News of a surprising scandal could reach your ears.

A child is going farther than you ever imagined. This is cause for celebration. Try not to impose your vision on them. Remember, this is their dream, not yours. If you get the sense your young friend is just going through the motions to please you, have a heart to heart talk. Assure them of your unconditional love. Whether you realise it or not, your opinion means a great deal to them. A romantic or business partner is hopelessly scatterbrained.

Organising your household gives you a greater sense of control. For the past few weeks, you haven't had much time to attend to run of the mill routine jobs. Although you hate spending the weekend on such mundane chores, you can have fun today. It's all a matter of slowing down and enjoying the process. Watch a favourite movie while folding and ironing. Pause to admire the beautiful produce at the supermarket. Plan some special menus for the week ahead.

This is a good time to tackle a financial matter you've been dreading. Getting a refund or disputing a charge on your credit card will be easier than you think. It's all a matter of having the proper documentation on hand. If you have lost your paperwork or receipts, be ready to provide as much supplementary information as you can, like the date of purchase and the kind of merchandise involved. A child or lover's temper could rear its ugly head.

Use your money to buy something of lasting value. Status symbols are all well and good, but they don't afford much long term pleasure. If you've been thinking of getting a pet, read a few books on the subject. Make sure you have their food, bed, and toys ready before bringing your friend home. That way, the transition will be easier for you both. Someone who is dependent on you may think you're overly critical. Try softening your approach just a bit.

Your hard work and perseverance could lead to a teaching or writing opportunity. The prospect of sharing your expertise with others is exciting. Don't get discouraged if your initial attempts to craft a proposal fall flat. You're a little scatterbrained right now. In a day or two, your thoughts will become more focused and it will be easier to articulate your ideas. For now, just bask in the glory of your luck. Invite some friends out to celebrate with you.

Working on a secret project gives you a thrill. Although you pride yourself on being open and honest, it is fun to make people wonder about your activities. If someone asks what you're doing, just reply with an enigmatic smile. Money from a grant, scholarship, or refund may be slow in coming. You'll have to find another source of income to meet your bills. Fortunately, you're very resourceful and can stretch your existing money a long way.

A reliable friend may want to set you up on a date but you're not too keen on accepting this offer. Somehow, you don't trust your benefactor's judgement. Maybe it's because you seek a wild, rebellious mate. The truth is these people have caused you nothing but grief. Would it kill you to go out with someone respectable for a change? If you're already in a relationship, you may want to spice up your love life with an expanded sexual repertoire.
