You're torn between doing a good job and having a good time. Why not try both? Working alongside colleagues in a spirit of fun will make the hours fly by. In the past, you've made the mistake of shutting yourself away when focused on important projects. By asking your fellow workers for feedback and help, you'll actually enjoy the process. Be sure to head out with friends after hours. You will have earned a long night of revelry.

Indulging your sensual side is essential. You've been neglecting your desire for good food, fine wine, and beautiful clothing. If you keep going like this, you'll become irritable. Enjoying a romantic candlelit dinner with the one you love is favoured. If you're single, you could meet someone special while shopping for gourmet food or high end toiletries. Keep your ears open for a silver tongued devil who tosses a few compliments your way.

You may have to fight to be heard. It seems as though a colleague is poised to undo all your hard work. Schedule a meeting with your boss before any real damage is done. By defending your position, you could get a stay of execution. There is a method to your madness, but it will take time to show how profitable your methods have been. If you're interviewing for a job, go ahead and toot your own horn.

People may write you off as a good natured pushover. The time has come to prove them wrong. Use your knowledge and influence to gain access to an educational, religious, or cultural institution. There are many people vying for this spot, but you're the only one who has an insider working on your behalf. Some people would call your behaviour underhanded. The truth is, you've lost opportunities you deserved from being too good hearted.

You're not sure whether to get involved with a volatile family fight. On the one hand, you feel protective of a well meaning relative. On the other, you think this whole argument is a waste of time. It's probably best to hang back and let the combatants pummel each other. If you take a side, you could be doing permanent damage to a good relationship. Besides, you have much better things to do. Go out for a fun evening with friends.

It may be necessary to stand up for the rights of others. If you don't speak on behalf of these people, they'll continue to be used and abused. An authority figure will listen to you, mostly because you are well spoken and rational. By outlining the problem point by point, and then proposing reasonable solutions, you'll be victorious. Resist the urge to join forces with a charismatic rabble rouser, it will only undermine your credibility.

A teaching opportunity could fall in your lap. Although you feel as though you're the last person who should take this job, consider it anyway. For one thing, it could be very lucrative. For another, it will put you in contact with a lot of interesting people. You've been blessed with a fine mind. Sharing your knowledge with others will give you the intellectual stimulation you need to thrive. If you play your cards right, you could even publish a book by the end of next year.

Don't fall victim to brooding. If you manage to stay positive, you can accomplish great things. Getting financing for a home, business, or artistic endeavour is highly favoured. You may have to do some fast talking with a bank official, but your enthusiasm will carry the day. Be a good steward of these resources. Using them in the right way will help you realise a cherished dream. Squandering them will plunge you into a deep depression.

A desire to be popular could get you into trouble. Resist the temptation to go along with an exciting but unrealistic plan or you could run up some big bills. You're better off proposing a more conservative plan. If people decide to take the more glamorous path, send them on their merry way. You can't afford to take chances with your financial security. In time they'll see you had the right idea. Until then, content yourself by boosting your bank balance.

A strong sense of duty prompts you to stay late long after everyone has gone home. Try not to be too bitter over the situation. Your boss will see how hard you have worked, and will reward you for the sacrifice. It's all a matter of keeping your long range goals in mind. Yes, it would be fun to go out carousing with the gang, but such pleasures are fleeting. Real satisfaction will come when you're given a job that seems more like play than work.

You need to be honest with an employer who asks you to do something underhanded. It may be the only way to change their mind. Even if your boss insists on going ahead with their plans, at least you will be on record as having opposed it. Yes, there is a chance you could lose your job, but it's better to keep your reputation as a fair and reputable professional. Don't worry the good guys will prevail in this case.

In the past, people have accused you of being too sensitive. What they don't realise is your strong emotions are an asset, not a liability. You're the last person who would take a miserable job for money, or enter into a romance for convenience. You'd rather wait for the real thing to come along. Happily, you're about to be given a golden opportunity. Seize it and hang on tight. It's a reward for being true to yourself.
