Working with a partner is critical to your success. That means you will have to make some compromises. This is difficult for you. You have specific wants and needs. Not all them will be fulfilled to your satisfaction. Be prepared for several disappointments. After letting go of certain expectations, it will be much easier to work with a romantic or business partner. Some things are more important than getting your way. Give this relationship the respect it is due.

Selfish behaviour will backfire. You have to take everyone's feelings into consideration before making a decision. A relative who needs special help has to be accommodated. If you're planning to move, choose a place where they'll get the necessary support. Overlooking these requirements will put a great strain on your family life. Have faith the Universe will deliver the perfect opportunity. When one door closes, another will open. Keep your eyes open for a deal that will work well for the whole group.

Strong emotions get in the way of making good decisions. This is unusual for a logical person like you. Unfortunately, a nasty colleague has been causing problems for the rest of the group. No matter how many reports you file or complaints you make, this pest is never reprimanded. It makes you wonder whether you want to continue working for your employer. Don't make any hasty decisions when your judgment is clouded. A path will become clear in another few days. Be patient.

People aren't comfortable with your emotional intensity. When it comes to working with a group, it's best to keep your feelings out of the equation. Resist the temptation to talk about your personal life. If you're attracted to one of your peers, don't make your desires known until the project is over. Mixing business with pleasure will undermine your reputation. It will also have a negative impact on your performance. Spend time with friends after hours, when you can let your hair down.

Don't be so quick to discount other people's suggestions. A youngster has great instincts about how to fix a problem. By taking their input seriously, you could solve this dilemma in record time. You're worried how it will look if you are seen taking orders from someone who is significantly younger. Put such fears out of your mind. It doesn't matter where you get good ideas. The important thing is to recognise them and execute them as quickly as possible.

A cavalier attitude towards authority will get you in trouble. A prideful person demands respect. You're not especially impressed by their abilities. Keep these reservations secret. By showing just a little deference, you'll avoid a terrible power struggle. Eventually, you will need a reference from this oppressive leader. Be polite and never contradict them in a public place. Once you've passed a test or paid your dues, you'll be able to move on to a more rewarding assignment.

You're tempted to issue threats to someone who keeps dragging their feet. Instead of resorting to such drastic behaviour, keep a detailed record of their behaviour. If you are forced to go to court, it will be helpful to have this information on file. Some people are more interested in creating drama than fulfilling their obligations. The less you feed their desire to argue, the more deflated they'll become. Eventually, they'll just dispatch their duties so they can create trouble somewhere else.

It's important to be direct with someone who is out of their depth. If you're not happy with their efforts, say so. Give detailed and specific criticisms about their performance. There's a good possibility they'll quit as a result of your remarks. That can't be helped. You simply can't put up with substandard work for the sake of politeness. Look for someone who can meet your standards. You'll probably have to increase the pay involved. Talent isn't cheap; pay accordingly.

Don't insist on doing work when everyone else is relaxing. You've all earned some time off. Stay away from the computer and turn your focus to the family instead. Your nearest and dearest want your company. Enjoy a special outing together. Continuing to put off play time will make your loved ones resentful and angry. They're tired of sharing you. Many times, you act like your job is more important than they are. Correct this mistake before it's too late.

Instead of insisting others wait on you, be kind to them. Find ways to make your loved ones' lives easier. When you're dealing with service people, greet them with a smile and be pleasant. Radiating positive energy will cause others to let down their defences with you. They'll become more accommodating and helpful. You'll even notice a few individuals going out of their way to be helpful. If small things go wrong, don't blow them out of proportion. Everyone is trying to do their best.

Don't make a mountain out of a molehill. If someone makes an insensitive remark, laugh it off. Demanding an apology will be like pouring fuel on a fire. It's better to move past this slight as quickly as possible. Many people are socially awkward. They try making jokes to hide their embarrassment. When these comments backfire, it's best to steer the conversation to more pleasant waters. Acting offended will only make it harder to work together. There is still much to be done. Keep the tone between you light.

Someone will pressure you into making a decision. Don't return a phone call or email for another few days. You don't have all the necessary information to make a good decision. There will be plenty of opportunities to take a course or make travel arrangements later. Right now, you have to ensure responsibilities will be attended while you're away. If that means finding a full time babysitter or training a colleague, so be it. Everything will happen when it should; you can't hurry fate.
