Overview: Hard work always reaps rewards, but it's not always the most fun way to get what you want out of life. There are other legitimate ways, like using your charm. It isn't appropriate in every situation (a smile at the DMV won't make the line move any faster), but today there will be at least one situation that you can help resolve in your favor simply by being your charming self. Whenever someone in power can use their discretion, you should use your personality. You have nothing to lose.
Career: Any routine can start to feel mundane sooner or later. Instead of getting frustrated, spice things up a bit. You'll be surprised by how many of the little details can be made exciting.
Singles: While you've worked magic on charm alone, this time might be different. Charisma got you this far, but in order to appeal to your new beloved, you'll have to dig deeper in your bag of tricks.
Couples: Laundry, bills, cleaning. There are lots of mundane things that must get done. Get the boring stuff out of the way together so you are free for romance later.
Finance: It's odd that keeping your nose to the grindstone is such hard work, considering the amount of free time you've had lately. Your body is on its own Circadian rhythm, and it has to do with the ebb and flow of bringing home the goods. Remind yourself there's a payoff.
Food: Give unto others today and good karma will be yours. Bring your generosity to the fore today and share the wealth. Just bringing homemade crab and spinach quiche into the office will lift the spirits of downtrodden co-workers.
Beauty: Imperfections keep things interesting and real. Don't worry about trying to present a flawless facade. Whatever keeps you looking good and lets you have the freedom and movement to enjoy your life is what works.
Mom: Today's challenge: how to pick up all the stuff you need for your little one, but still stay within the budget. It will be easier if you do your shopping while they're still in day care, and not around to pressure you.
Teen: You're ready to get started on something new today -- maybe a new romantic fling, maybe a new art project or maybe something totally unique. Whatever it is, your energy is perfect for it.
Home: This is a day to placate small longings you didn't think had solutions. Although your job makes long nails an impossibility, you can add fun sparkles, pictures and designs to short ones. Maybe you can't afford a new couch but a cover in a fabric you like is not beyond your means.
Green: Tackle mountains, not molehills, when it comes to saving the planet. The mining industry trashes the environment, especially when it employs mountaintop removal mining. A single dynamite blast can obliterate what mother nature evolved over millions of years. The fallout creates flooding, pollution and property damage. There are more than 570 mountains that have succumbed to destructive mining practices.
More: Rather than getting PO'd about your lack of cash flow, find ways to live up to your earning potential. Stay away from shady side businesses, unless you can make mad money, of course. If you're stuck in a dead-end job, then stop complaining about it and get the hell out.
