Skating along with little regard for the subtleties could cause you to miss an important opportunity. Fine-tune your instincts to pick up on minutiae that you can put to good use. Great ideas often spring from chance remarks about unfilled needs. You have the intellect and skill to capitalize on such knowledge. A new pursuit could give you a fulfilling creative outlet. If you’re unwilling to share the credit, however, you won’t be able to share the work either.

You don’t have lots of time to mope right now because you’re way too busy planning your future social life. A blue mood could stifle a great day if you let it. So don’t. Check your in-box and online profiles. An unread message could change everything.

The two of you should be able to really communicate today because connections are easier to make and common ground easier to find. Some issues won’t be resolved quickly, but that’s okay.

If you expect to be feeling good all day long, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Be ready to tackle the parts of the day that bring you down. They may be a bore, but they could be profitable if you have the right attitude.
