Beware of developing a martyr complex. If you're the one who keeps getting stuck with the dirty work, you need to put your foot down. Grumbling about it will only exacerbate the situation. Your daily routine has become a gruelling treadmill. It's time to inject a little fun into your life. Taking a short trip out of town can help. Meet up with a female friend or relative who always makes you laugh. She'll have some good advice for you.

Taking friends for granted is a big mistake. Right now, you're totally focused on a romantic partner or youngster and while their needs are important, so are those of your nearest and dearest. Be sure to attend a friend's birthday or anniversary celebration. Not attending will cause tremendous offence. If you do go, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the reception you receive. Everybody has missed you and is eager to catch up on the last few weeks.

It's important to be consistent. Make sure your deeds match your words or you'll be accused of being a hypocrite. An embarrassing piece of news could come to light. Don't bother denying it. By admitting your part in the scandal and offering a sincere apology, you'll prevent permanent damage. On the plus side, an exciting opportunity to branch out will be offered to you. Although venturing into unfamiliar territory will be scary you should give it a try.

Someone who is getting on your nerves deserves a second chance. Don't be so quick to judge them. There is probably a very good reason for their behaviour. Sit down and have a substantive conversation with this character in private. You could learn some unexpected things. Money from an inheritance, insurance refund or investment will make you more financially secure. At long last, you'll be able to have more time for solitary pursuits. It's about time!

Money you were expecting may be delayed. A dispute over paperwork or legalities will stop you cashing in, at least for the time being. You can either despair over your bad fortune or form an alternate plan. Friends are poised to help you through this rough patch. Don't hesitate to ask for their assistance, whether it's getting a new job or moving to another place. You'll have to economise in the short term future, but the sacrifice will be worth it.

Give credit where credit is due; a friend or partner who has been doing the lion's share of work feels neglected. Take this opportunity to wait on him or her for a change. In the past, you have had a tendency to be overly critical. Try to correct this behaviour. The next time you're tempted to offer advice, give a sincere compliment instead. When people feel appreciated, they'll double their efforts to please you. A homeopath has good advice regarding a minor health problem.

Contrary to what you might think, you're not being asked to do anything out of the ordinary. Everybody is overworked and underappreciated. The only way to find relief is to pull together as a team. Arranging a reward will give everyone something to look forward to. It's much easier to reach a goal when you have something to work towards. A sensitive friend is doing their best to make life easier for you. Be sure to acknowledge their sacrifices.

Now is not the time to play fast and loose with your money. Don't buy any expensive gadgets or invest in a get rich quick scheme. Keep your savings in the bank where they belong. A youngster's angry outburst is a sign something deeper is wrong. You need to spend more quality time with your young friend. Arrange outings for just the two of you. Don't bring anyone else along. Above all, keep a romantic interest at bay. Stop making this child feel like your loyalties are divided.

You've been assuming a big burden at home and the situation is getting old. You need assistance, whether it's dividing chores among roommates and relatives or hiring outside help. An authority figure may disapprove of your behaviour, but turn a deaf ear to his criticisms. Very few people understand what you have been through these past few weeks. Fortunately, your best friend is aware of your situation, and is willing to lend a sympathetic ear.

This isn't a good time to go on a trip; you need to stay home, where your family needs you. Postponing your journey now will help you attend to domestic responsibilities without feeling frazzled. Don't worry you'll be able to get away later in the season. A legal decision could be rendered against you. If this happens, you need to take a deep breath and reassess your plans. Maybe you've taken on too much, too soon.

Resist the urge to go on a shopping spree. Anything you buy now will just have to be returned later. Besides, you are going to need your money for an unseen expense. Although you hate limitations of any kind, you need to consider what is worse: having a lot of fancy stuff or being in debt to a credit card company? Think before you answer! Take your cues from a child who is able to have fun with just their imagination.

Don't overstep your boundaries with an authority figure. You need to give this man the proper respect, even if you don't agree with his methods. If you have a problem, file an official complaint or nobody will take you seriously. Trust your instincts over a creative project. Although there isn't any precedent for this kind of work, this doesn't mean you should stop. If you keep plugging away, you'll strike upon a new method that gets a lot of favourable attention.
