The Moon's square to Saturn makes this a Guy Fawkes day of frustrating delays, disappointments, and misunderstandings. The best way to deal with this situation is to have an alternate plan ready for everything you do. Look at this as a test of your adaptability. If you pass, you could pick up some extra cash.

An unfortunate blunder could make a bad impression on an authority figure, but you can redeem yourself. Instead of explaining yourself, embark on an activity that will clearly illustrate your abilities. Actions always speak louder than words. Stop listening to that self doubting voice of yours; it will only keep you down when you should be looking up.

You may be tempted to palm off duties onto a well-meaning friend, but don't do it, otherwise, you could do irreparable damage to your relationship. Plus, you'll start to doubt your own ability to finish tasks in a timely fashion. Dig in your heels and do what's expected; we've all got our burdens to bear.

Don't get huffy if someone asks you to expound on your beliefs; take it as a compliment that they care. If you can't come up with good reasons for why you have certain principles, it might be time to change your philosophy. There's no point in parroting what your parents taught you if you don't agree with them.

A promise you made to someone could come back to haunt you; instead of making excuses, carry out your vow. Otherwise, it will be hard for anybody to take you at your word in the future. Don't be surprised if your status is boosted at home or work after performing an arduous, unpleasant task everyone else avoided.

If it feels as though your needs aren't met by a loved one, it's probably because you haven't been attending theirs. Don't assume that the way you experience love is the same for your partner. Honour their requests, and observe what sorts of behaviour they respond to best. This will get your relationship back on track.

Assuming a child’s responsibilities isn't helping them in the long run; consider your own motives in doing everything for them. Are you trying to keep them dependent on you? If so, you're doing a tremendous disservice to both you and the kid in question. You will earn their love by setting them a good foundation.

There is a reason why you keep misplacing personal items: you are unwilling to be held accountable for your actions. Consider what you are losing by pretending you have no part in the situation you've created. Are you really willing to play the victim for the rest of your life?

Disappointments in the past are no reason to give up on your ambitions today; you've gained a wealth of life experience since then. You owe it to yourself to venture into unfamiliar territory where you have to prove your worth. Actually, it’ll be quite refreshing to operate in an environment where you are a complete unknown.

Someone may try to pressure you into getting involved with a community campaign, but you're tempted to bow out. Honour your instincts; there's no point in participating in an event that doesn't have any meaning for you. You may garner a great deal of respect by sticking to your guns and not acquiescing to threats.

Your financial picture will continue to grow dimmer unless you take steps to improve it, so what are you waiting for? Don't fall into the trap of accepting your economic fate as a person destined to do without. That's the fastest way to put your ambitions to rest. Set a budget for yourself and stay within its pecuniary parameters.

Nobody can afford to rest on their laurels, so do yourself a favour and develop your skills so that you will be a force to contend with. Pessimists take great delight in discouraging starry-eyed hopefuls from bettering themselves. Don't rise to the bait; you've got unlimited potential, especially where wealth creation is concerned.
