You want the freedom to do and say anything you want, but that just isn't possible. Your nearest and dearest are especially sensitive right now. It isn't a good idea to contradict their statements or offer unsolicited advice. If you're looking for love, you could find it in a classroom or at a neighbourhood gathering. You're especially drawn to intelligent, cultured types who help you look at the world in a different light.

Friends are pressuring you to take a path that won't serve you well in the long run. Don't give in to peer pressure, even if it means breaking off with certain members of the crowd. This isn't a good time to lend money, but earning it is a different story. You could be offered a high paying job that puts lots of extra cash in your pocket. Use your savings to buy something you've always wanted.

You've got better ideas than anybody else, and you know it. The secret to your success is a childlike ability to see the possibilities in every situation. While others are busy looking for problems, you're focused on finding solutions. A frustrated authority figure may be irritated by your relentless optimism. Don't take their grouchy attitude personally. It has more to do with their personal life than your performance. Seek to satisfy yourself.

Although you always try to be tolerant of other people's beliefs, certain cultural practices really frustrate you. That's just a natural part of living in a multi-cultural society. Don't try to force an understanding where it simply isn't possible. Friends and family can be enormously comforting at this time. It's nice to be with people who share your beliefs and know where you're coming from. Plan a quiet evening at home.

Sexual tensions are running high in your social circle. It's possible that one of your friends is attracted to another, which is creating lots of drama. If you're one of the parties involved, consider whether you want to change the dynamics of the whole group. Channel your pent-up energy into a daily routine. Grocery shopping, laundry, and cooking can clear your head, enabling you to make better decisions. Get a handle on your emotions.

Your optimism and open-mindedness help you get ahead at work. If you're presented with a challenging job, accept it with enthusiasm. Your boss will be so impressed by your attitude that you could be offered a raise or promotion. If you're looking for work, be sure to adopt an upbeat attitude during the interview. A romantic partner may feel threatened by your new-found success. Do your best to reassure them of your love and loyalty.

Your generous attitude makes you a popular figure today. It makes you feel good to lend your assistance to people who are struggling. Beware of emotional vampires. These leeches don't want your help; they just want to bleed you dry. You can tell the difference between friends and opportunists. The former seek to return favours at the earliest opportunity, while the latter mysteriously disappear whenever you're faced with challenges.

A romantic partner could lash out quite unexpectedly. This tantrum probably has very little to do with you; look to your lover's past for clues. Try appeasing their fears by being consistent, loving, and patient. Work can be rewarding, as colleagues are appreciative of your fine eye for detail. If you see room for improvement, offer your assistance, even if it means performing duties that are outside your job description.

Working alongside a friend could spark feelings of romance. You're not averse to taking this relationship a step further. Be prepared for family members to oppose this union, though. Your relatives have very definite opinions on what form your love life should take. Don't give your kin undue influence over this area. After all, you know what kind of person makes you happy. Nobody else can decide this for you.

It's hard to communicate with a colleague who is behaving erratically. This person is letting their private life interfere with their professional one. Take their comments with a pinch of salt. Fortunately, your superior knows the score, and appreciates your ability to work well under stressful conditions. If you want a promotion, now is the time to ask. Looking for work? Check out opportunities in the educational or legal fields.

You may not have the money for an adventure, which is enormously frustrating. If there's anything you hate, it's doing the same thing day after day. Fortunately, you don't need a fortune to have fun. Follow a child's example and make do with what you have. Working on a craft project, joining a sports team, or spending a day doing just what pleases you is a good idea right now. Even the simplest diversions will lift your spirits.

Obligations to home and family force you to walk the straight and narrow. It's no wonder you're frustrated; you've never wanted to lead a conventional life. Perhaps you can find a way to meet your responsibilities without having to relinquish all your freedom. Hiring outside help or delegating duties to other family members can make a tremendous difference. One person can't handle all this work. It's too much pressure.
