Working in a quiet, peaceful environment brings out the best in you. Recently, you've been submerged in a whirlwind of activity. This has been distracting. Tell your boss you need a private work area where you can focus. This doesn't have to be a permanent arrangement. Working from home is a good possibility. You'll be much more productive when people aren't always stopping at your desk for a chat. Once you've completed this task, you can join the fray again.

Artistic, sensitive people make good friends for you. You're a thoroughly practical person who sometimes places too much importance on duty.

It's highly unlikely you will neglect your obligations.

Pursuing an unusual career path will be lots of fun. Family and friends will be sceptical about your prospects, but you'll soon land a satisfying position.

If you're happy with your current position, you will get a rise or promotion.

The opportunity to study with a respected professor will fall into your lap. Be quick to enrol in a course, as spots will fill faster than you expect.

An ardent lover will sweep you off your feet. It feels wonderful to be the object of someone's desire.

You're idealistic about work, which fuels your success. It gives you great pleasure to go the extra mile for customers and clients. If you're unemployed, you could land a job in the art and entertainment field. Getting paid to exercise your imagination will be the answer to a prayer. The salary will be significant. Instead of raising your standard of living, put a good portion of each months pay into savings. Soon, you'll have enough for a deposit on a home or car.

A passionate romance gives you an attractive glow. Everyone will want to know if you've been to a spa or had a cosmetic procedure. As far as you're concerned, the best cosmetic is love.

When you're finished, this could become your favourite place to relax. Search antique shops for distinctive looking furniture and artwork.

Indulge your love of learning by taking an adult education course. Resist the urge to study a subject related to your career. It's important for you to have hobbies that are completely unrelated to work. You're sure to make several good friends with those around you.

This situation will allow you to practice in a supportive environment.

Trust your intuition about a moneymaking prospect. Friends and family will think it's a mistake to pursue a career in the non-profit world. Pay no attention to these warnings.

Your powerful vision will be a decided asset. Don't be afraid to showcase these high ideals during an interview.

Your imagination is extremely powerful. Channel it into an art project. This is a wonderful opportunity to release anger and frustration. Stop letting people wield power over you.
