Having tremendous career ambitions doesn't give you license to walk all over others. Your family has been especially supportive of your dreams. Take this opportunity to cater to their needs for a change. If you have to cancel a meeting to attend a birthday party or music recital, so be it. Making a sacrifice on a relative's behalf will go a long way towards healing some old wounds. There's more to life than having a rewarding job. Strike a better balance between your professional and private lives.

Try not to pass judgment on someone whose beliefs are radically different from yours. The two of you can still work together, so long as you don't discuss personal matters. Take your cues from an older friend who works with a wide variety of people. Your romantic partner needs a little help with organising a party. This is a great opportunity to showcase your artistic talent. Turn your attention to making invitations, decorations and mouth watering food displays.

It's time to let go of an obsession. Focusing on this issue to the exclusion of everything else is making people mad. You owe it to your loved ones to be more present for them. Express an interest in their lives; don't keep talking about your own problems and find small ways to be useful. Eventually, you'll stop hyper focusing on a small dilemma that will not change. You'll have more energy and initiative for the activities you used to enjoy. In other words, the spell will be broken.

A major test of wills is going to test a relationship. You're tired of giving in to a stubborn person who insists on having their own way all the time. The next time you are commanded to cater to their whims, refuse. Make a counterproposal and don't back down. If this means going to a restaurant or movie alone, so be it. You might even decide to take a solitary trip. It will be a relief to escape their clutches.

Beware of adopting an extreme attitude at work. Colleagues will resent it if you micromanage them. In the past, some lazy people created more work for you. It's perfectly reasonable to be angry at these fellow workers, but that doesn't mean you should force everyone to pay for these transgressions. Ultimately, it's not worth making a huge fuss. Spending more time on domestic pursuits will give you some much needed perspective. There is life outside of the office. Go find it.

It's difficult to subdue boisterous children, but try anyway. Unless you impose some boundaries, they will continue to run wild. If you're dealing with a lover who has run roughshod over your feelings, the same principle applies. You have to stand in your own defence, or you will continue to be hurt. It's better to be single and hold out for the real thing than stay in an abusive relationship. A comforting neighbour will have good advice about your love life. Be sure to take it.

A domineering relative is wearing on your last nerve. It's time to defy their command, even if it results in a big fight. By asserting your individuality at home, it will be easier to do so at work, too. A long term moneymaking opportunity is on the horizon. Not only will this job pay well, but it will also have impressive fringe benefits. Don't be afraid to accept a position that demands long hours. You will enjoy it, even if work does cut into your personal life.

Voicing your opinion may hurt someone's feelings. It's better to say nothing, if only to maintain a respectful tone. After all, you hate it when people pass judgment on your lifestyle. There are many who respect your approach to life. It's good to see them trying to win your approval. Be sure to congratulate a youngster who has recently overcome a problem. Your encouragement will help them tackle bigger demons. Soon they'll be confident enough to take on any competitor.

Just because you aren't making as much money as you would like does not mean you are a failure. On the contrary, it would be impossible to put a price on your true worth. Stop comparing your financial situation to that of a wealthy friend or relative. Channel your energy towards creating a secure, happy home life. People love coming to visit you, because they know they will be treated to good conversation, delicious food and a comfortable environment.

Your powers of persuasion are strong. Use them for good, not evil. Your best friend or lover is vulnerable. Pushing them into a decision will backfire. Instead of heaping pressure on their shoulders, back away. Your kindness and consideration will pave the way for a happier union. Take your cues from an older friend who once showed great restraint in an intimate relationship. True love means respecting your partner's feelings even if they don't marry up to your own.

Don't identify too closely with the subversive people in your crowd. They may be intent on destroying the system, while you'd prefer to reform it. One of these radicals is very attractive. They'll try to win your support through flirting. Remain impervious to their charms. You have better things to do with your time than ruin a good but flawed organisation. An authority figure is impressed by your mature attitude and may offer you a job as a result.

You resent a friend who spends all their time with a lover or child. Although you realise how important this relationship is, you are tired of being treated like chopped liver. Maybe it's time to channel your energy elsewhere. Spending time with people who respect your time will be a welcome change of pace. Putting the finishing touches on a creative project brings fame and acclaim. You've really improved since you embarked on this journey. Give yourself a reward for developing your talent.
