A fear of rejection may prevent you from speaking your thoughts. Normally, you're not afraid of what anyone thinks. Right now, however, you can't help but remember how this outspoken attitude has landed you into trouble in the past. The solution may be to express your emotions through a creative project. This will help you burn off any frustration that has been building inside. Never fear; you will have a chance to state your beliefs.

It seems like everybody else is in total control of their lives, but this is only an illusion. Stop comparing your situation to theirs, and focus on what you'd like to be doing in six months' time. This will allow you to move forward without feeling self-conscious. The more engrossing your work, the more successful you'll be. Ignore those who offer unsolicited advice. These people are just jealous of your drive and initiative.

Work and family could be putting unbearable pressure on you right now. Presently, everybody has an opinion about what you should be doing and how you should be acting. Unfortunately, none of these people have any regard for what you want. Don't be afraid to put a daring plan into action, even if it means exposing yourself to unfavourable publicity. You'll know you're on the right track when everyone finds fault with your plans.

Any limitations you're experiencing have been self-imposed. Don't feel guilty about putting aside responsibilities in favour of fun. You have a right to laugh and be happy, even if others insist on being martyrs. Explore an unusual learning opportunity or embark on a mad love affair. Doing what is expected of you hasn't been especially fulfilling. Why not see what happens when you break out of your prescribed role?

It's hard to be self-sufficient when so many people are offering their services. And although certain proposals are tempting, it may be better for you to achieve success on your own terms. That way, nobody can later accuse you of rising to power through social connections. Fortunately, your talent is strong enough to win any position you desire. It's all a matter of diligence. If you're initially met with rejection, keep pressing forward.

Your social position could be getting in the way of intimate relationships. Perhaps you're secretly ashamed of a loved one's behaviour. Maybe you want to keep your personal and professional lives separate. It's even possible you've been taking an executive approach toward someone who is actually your equal. Whatever the source of trouble in your private life, you need to resolve it now. Own up to your part of the problem.

Your beliefs may not match those of your associates, which can lead to some uncomfortable moments. A diplomatic person like you hates generating controversy, but you can't help but feel some people are completely misguided. Taking a public stance against these people is important for your own integrity. You wouldn't want others to assume you share your friends' attitudes. Protect your reputation, even if it means getting into a heated debate.

You may not receive the help you expect, so prepare to make some last-minute adjustments. If friends and children seem unsympathetic to your plight, try to make them understand. It's possible your self-assured attitude has convinced your friends you don't need any assistance. By letting these people know you value and appreciate their contributions, they'll be more willing to join your efforts. A humble attitude goes a long way today.

You want nothing more but to spend time with your special someone, but events are conspiring against you. Family and work responsibilities may prevent you from finding any private time. If that's the case, you may want to establish some firm boundaries with relatives and colleagues. Otherwise, these people will continue to infringe on your personal life without regard to your needs. If you're single, spend more time away from your home and office.

Establishing a solid routine may be difficult with so many distractions. It seems as though everybody needs your services right now. This can prevent you from attending to your own responsibilities. It may be best to turn the phone off for a few hours. In the event that your colleagues keep intruding on your privacy, tell them to come back and consult with you at a later time. Otherwise, you'll feel perpetually frazzled and unfocused.

You're desperate for fun, but financial and social obligations are preventing you from having any. Your first order of business may be breaking off any relationships that are draining you of energy. It's hard to generate wealth when you feel as though you're giving the best of yourself to undeserving people. Changing jobs, dissolving a romance, or ending a friendship will be initially stressful, but ultimately rewarding.

You'd love to spend some peaceful time at home, but that's not in the cards. Loved ones demand your company, and you may reluctantly be forced to put in a public appearance at a social gathering. Beware of appearing ungracious, or you may regret it later. Friends and family will be more apt to respect future requests for privacy if you put in a good performance today. Let an admirer carry out a kind service for you.
