A hot new adventure is beginning today, but you might not be at the top of the guest list. This minor inconvenience doesn’t have to stop you, though. Just use some of your creativity to figure out a way to elbow your way in on the fun! Luckily, your mind is a fountain of ingenuity, bubbling with unique ways to get yourself an engraved invitation to the inner circle of movers and shakers. They need you to be there, and you can easily convince them of that.

Set up a new online profile to let your alter ego find its voice. Don’t hold anything back — be crazy, be hilarious, be totally outrageous. You should attract some amazing replies.

Use your powers of observation to gain insight into your loved one. Notice what they read and what music they play. Then surprise them with a gift that lets them know you’re paying attention.

Money can’t buy you happiness but it might move things along a bit. Don’t turn down a lump sum if you’re offered it. The emotional boost you get from it adds to your earning power later.
