The voice of authority will sound especially loud to you today, but perhaps that’s just because you don’t like what they’re saying. It’s time to stop talking so you can listen more attentively. What you are being told to do might not be your idea of a great time, but it’s necessary to do it if you want to maintain goodwill in the office and stay on the good side of a few powerful people. Unless you have a moral objection to it, carry out the orders today.

Amusement in any form will keep your spirits high and your negativity on the back burner. If you need to blow off steam, take a break with the office clown or roam the halls in search of a kindred spirit. Whatever you do, don’t cave in to the dark side.

Creativity’s in the stars, so why not take a long lunch and wander through an art museum with your partner? Or how about dinner and jazz? Unwind and do something cultural with your significant other.

If you had known all the facts beforehand, would you have done things any differently? Probably not. Playing it safe just isn’t in your make up. So stop being so critical of your actions and look to the future.
