An intimate relationship is showing signs of strain. You'll be forced to share close quarters, which conflicts with your desire for independence. Beware of issuing an ultimatum or you will do permanent damage to this bond. It's better to learn to live together in peace. If that means overlooking sloppy habits or being more considerate, so be it. Loving bonds usually involve personal sacrifice. Insisting on having your own way all the time will pave the way for a lonely life.

Keep a close eye on a group project or it will fly off the rails. Several members of the team are more interested in having fun than being productive. You might have to report these individuals for the sake of work. Although you hate being a tattletale, you will be more upset if a few bad apples spoil the bunch. Are you out of work? Finding a pleasant job will be more difficult than you expected. Accept a boring position while you continue to look for something more stimulating.

Cultivating romance is difficult when you're worried about money. It's time to address financial challenges that have been weighing on your mind.

You want to get things just right on the home front, but the results will fall short of your goal. Try not to beat yourself up. If a reunion doesn't come off the way you wanted or a piece of custom furniture isn't want you envisioned, stay calm.

Let a romantic partner lift your spirits with their silly jokes.

Travelling close to home is strongly advised. A short trip will give you welcome perspective on a domestic problem. You're tired of avoiding an unpleasant subject with a relative. The sooner you address the elephant in the room, the happier you will be. Tell your family member it's time to get treatment for a health problem. Don't listen to their protests or excuses. This situation is having a serious impact on your own activities. Stick to the subject and find a resolution.

An emergency will make it difficult for you to get the raise you deserve. Your employer may be scrambling to cover expenses for a fine or lawsuit. As a result, raises will be delayed. Instead of waiting for your ship to come in, launch a job search. It will take time to find a steady position that pays well, so be patient. Taking control of this situation is better than remaining stuck. Accepting freelance assignments will be a good way to fill the gap in your income.

Don't be pressured into making an important decision about your domestic life. If you want to buy or sell a property, it's wise to wait for a better offer. Relatives will berate you for passing up an initial offer, but it doesn't sit well with you. By listening to your intuition, you'll attract a fair deal that doesn't put you in financial jeopardy. Do you have to relocate? Turn a deaf ear to an estate agent who uses strong arm tactics.

Getting away from it all to rest, relax and recuperate will be a good for you. It will take all your resolve to stay off social media sites. Keeping your mobile off is also critical to your recovery. There are wonderful health benefits to be gained by unplugging from electronics. If anything exciting happens while you're away, you'll hear all about it when you get back. It's more likely everything will continue to unfold as it usually does. Hopping back on the treadmill will be easier than expected.

You may cut ties with a friend whose snobbish ways irritate you. Money has never meant a great deal to you. Spending lots of cash on expensive outings depletes valuable resources. Stop going on these outings and start saving your money for a trip. The less time you spend with them, the easier it will get. You won't miss their company and you'll welcome having more free time. Relationships are investments. Don't spend resources on ones that are going nowhere.

A career opportunity is coming your way. The position that is originally described will undergo some significant changes, so take this offer with a pinch of salt. You may not get a promised assistant or you'll have to work at a different branch than you first thought. Although you'll be disappointed by this turn of events, it will work in your favour. You'll gain some valuable experience that will help you land a bigger and better position. Be open, flexible and willing to learn.

Dealing with someone who is from a different culture will be frustrating. It will be difficult to understand their motives and reactions. Talk to somebody who has insight to their way of thinking. You'll get valuable advice on making headway with this individual. If you're not able to compromise, cut your losses and look for another opportunity. Your employer won't be happy, but it can't be helped. It's important to recognise when you've embarked on a lost cause.

Financial talks will be strained. If a friend owes you money, it could be impossible to get it back. Let this be a lesson about obeying generous impulses. Although you don't place too much importance on money, you do need it. Wasting hard earned resources on people who don't deserve them is a mistake. Be more protective of your income. Use it to create a secure foundation. Buying a home or car will make life much easier for you. Put a portion of your pay each month into savings.
