A team effort isn't working because there is too much competition in the air. You should all be working together towards the same goal. Lead by example by asking what might be needed to regain the respect you all once had for each other. As you show more consideration, others will follow suit.

You know what you want and where you want to go. You are hoping that as you transition into the person you believe you were born to be, others will embrace this more positive you. Stand your ground and let your family, friends and colleagues see that when you say something, you mean it.

Your responsibilities aren't small but you knew this was going to be a difficult time and you will cope. Keep your chin up. You will need to be sensible and you won't expect quick results. With you being so busy, don't forget to acknowledge a friend's kind help.

You have set expectations and although a partner or relative will object to your plans, you will not let them talk you out of them. You may have to remind someone of the times when you carried the load at work or at home. You were there for them when they needed you and they should show you similar respect and support in return.

Nothing is straight-forward or easy. If you remain focused you will get results so any problems you are up against won't spoil your advancement. Commitments are heavy. A partner is talking about making changes but you will have some valid objections. Make sure they take you seriously.

New boundaries need to be put in place in some relationships. There has to be a limit to what others can expect from you. If some people don't seem to realise this, now is the time to let them know it. By this evening, someone will reply to a question you asked them a few days ago. It's a good time to buy or sell property.

You get the chance to accept an unexpected offer. Only later you will discover this was turned down by someone else. Just because you weren't the first person to receive it does not mean it won't work to your advantage. A friend will introduce you to a new hobby or interest that brings new meaning to your life.

If you haven't been able to get an important job out of the way, this should be your first priority. Ask for help if you need it. You could get so focused on one area that you don't notice what is going on around you. Sometimes this is the kind of focus you need to achieve.

You should not feel obliged or forced to have to continue with a project that no longer interests you. It won't take a lot of effort to find someone who will happily step into your place. If they might need help or further training you can always withdraw to the background to offer support.

A friend wants a favour. You aren't keen to help them out as you have started to notice how little they do for you. Besides, you have other things to think about. You are concerned about an older relative or neighbour and will feel better once you have arranged to meet up with someone to discuss this.

While a situation may not be ideal there is always a way to perceive the strengths and positives. Take these and work with them to reduce the negatives. You're trying to find a balance between tending to your own needs while caring for the youth or the elderly around you.

Someone in the workplace who has always demanded a lot of attention will apologise. They may continue to make similar mistakes but you can see they are making an effort not to interrupt and talk over people. Slow and steady wins the race.
