Friends are urging you to buy something expensive. Turn a deaf ear to these voices, even if you have extra money at your disposal. You should be conserving your resources. If you make a purchase, it should be something practical, rather than a luxury item. A financial setback comes as a shock. You were confident an income stream would last forever. This isn't the case. Instead of dwelling on this loss, find more rewarding ways to earn a living. You can do it.

Your employer is making many demands on your time. You're simply not willing to sacrifice your personal life for your career. It's possible you will quit your job in a huff. You're incredibly patient, but even you can be pushed to the limit. People are turned off by some changes you've made to your personal life. Don't let their disapproval break your stride. You're on a unique path. Following the herd no longer suits you. Keep marching to the beat of your own drum.

Someone who claims to know what is best for you has become overbearing. It's time to set some healthy boundaries with this pest. Let their calls go to voicemail, block them on social media and stop responding to their provocative remarks during meetings. An unpleasant realisation is dawning. You realise that a person in your inner circle can no longer be trusted. Stop giving them money and lending them valuables. Until they get help for a problem, you can no longer associate with them.

Paying bills is a struggle. Your expenses have outpaced your income. It's time to reverse this trend. Putting yourself on a shoestring budget will allow you to get out of debt. Instead of trying to soothe yourself with retail therapy, draw on existing resources. Belonging to a group no longer appeals to you. Several extreme members have soured you on this organisation. Don't make a big announcement about your departure; leave quickly and quietly. Slowly but surely, you'll build a new social circle that is much more affirming.

You don't appreciate the pressure you're getting from a business or romantic partner. Before you push back, try viewing the situation objectively. You tend to cling to routines. Venturing down a different path could be the best thing for your relationship. Changes are happening on the work front. It may be necessary to leave a job that once gave you lots of pleasure. Resist the temptation to dwell on past victories; seize the power of the present moment. Be open to transitioning to a hi-tech industry.

Beware of assuming too many responsibilities. Although you're a master multi-tasker, you have one pair of hands. Something will fall through the cracks, causing unnecessary stress. Start delegating tasks. You shouldn't be the only one to host gatherings or clean the breakroom. Realising you know a lot less than you thought comes as an unpleasant shock. Instead of beating yourself up for your ignorance, seek to correct it. Take a crash course; studying with an offbeat teacher will be illuminating.

Try not to be too competitive. Instead of trying to be the best person in the group, concentrate on having fun. If you lose a contest, take it in your stride. Congratulate the winner. People's respect for you will soar if you're a good sport. An intimate relationship could hit a rough patch. Your partner may have been hiding something out of a sense of shame. Think carefully about how to deal with this deception. If you're going to continue this relationship, you may want to keep your money separate.

Angry emotions are bubbling to the surface. Instead of trying to suppress them, channel them into exercise. Moving your body will release tension. It will also help you to think more clearly. Walk away from a family relationship that has caused you pain. A business or romantic partner will try to lay a guilt trip on you. Don't feel pressured to give in to their demands if they offend your principles. If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

An argument will break out over social media. Getting drawn into this fight will be a waste of valuable energy. Instead of trying to talk sense to a hateful person, do something positive. Donate time or money to a volunteer organisation. A health problem could flare up. Although it's inconvenient to get treatment for this issue, you should schedule a medical consultation anyway. Cancel an important work meeting or date for the sake of your wellness. You shouldn't gamble with your body.

Someone has offended your principles. Instead of giving them a lecture, quietly detach from the relationship. You won't have to give any explanations; it's obvious why you are disappointed. Anyone who thinks you will look the other way at bad behaviour will be surprised. A romantic relationship is a source of disappointment. Someone who pretended to be one way is quite different. Think carefully whether you want to continue this relationship. You need a partner who is loyal in their affections.

You're eager to get moving with a project but face many delays. Some people just aren't ready to make a change. This is incredibly frustrating. The more you persist, the more they will resist. It's better to back off while they make up their minds. Changes are occurring on the home front. You might have to move to a temporary residence while an extensive repair project is underway. Be flexible and remember your sense of humour. This, too, shall pass.

You are worried things won't work out. Instead of dwelling on your fears, imagine the best possible outcome. Your thoughts form the future. If you're optimistic, you'll attract the love, luck and creative opportunities you desire. When you're despondent, things will fall through. Upsetting news about a repair bill could throw you off balance. Instead of repairing this item, it may better to replace it. You'll have to spend more money, but having reliable equipment is worth the investment.
