Putting too much emphasis on your career can cause an identity crisis. You need to figure out who you are apart from work. After all, jobs may come and go, but you're here for the duration. Cultivate hobbies which have nothing to do with your job. Make more time for friends who aren't involved with your business. The more varied your private life, the greater your confidence will be. If you are thinking of switching industries, this would be a good time to do so.

Imposing your beliefs on others will result in disaster. As much as it pains you, it's necessary to compromise. You may not agree with many of the methods being used, but you're not in control. Keep your objections to yourself, or you'll have problems with your workmates. Trust your intuition when it comes to a love affair. The object of your affection may need your emotional support, but is afraid to ask for it. Be quick to encourage their career plans.

Don't let a powerful person overshadow you. At times, you've let them shout you down, fearing what would happen if you pressed your point. If you don't reverse this trend, you'll lose your self respect. Fortunately, a female friend will provide shelter from this storm. Going to college will help you make a fresh start. You've been blessed with a keen, incisive mind. Put it to work by studying a subject that has fascinated you since childhood.

Becoming more self sufficient is essential to your happiness. In the past, you've put your needs aside for the sake of family. Now you have a chance to pull away from the pack. Some people may accuse you of being selfish for pursuing a career or developing your creative talent. But if you don't promote your interests, who will? An influential female executive is poised to help you. Let this woman provide you with financial assistance, but don't let her make decisions for you.

Don't take out a recent disappointment on your body. Eat well, take exercise, and get sleep. Although it's tempting to overindulge in food and drink now, you will pay for it later. Feeling bloated and sick will put a real damper on your love life. Romantic aspects are strong in your chart, so be sure to take advantage of them. If you're looking for love, you could find it at a religious, educational, or cultural institution. A fit athlete will be anxious to meet you.

A friend who has helped you in the past requires your assistance but you'll have to cancel your plans. Try not to dwell on your disappointment. Remember, a gift without the giver's heart is bare. If you're having difficulty getting into the spirit of things, wear something which makes you feel fabulous. It's hard to stay in a bad mood when you look terrific. Don't be surprised if you meet someone special while running errands for your friend.

Resist the urge to commit emotional blackmail on an authority figure. Yes, you've done favours for your boss in the past, but bringing them up at every opportunity gets tiresome. If you need time off to attend a youngster's play, sport, or activity, just ask for it. A straightforward approach works best. It's possible you've been putting too much emphasis on career matters these days. Spending more time on domestic pursuits will restore your natural good humour. Err on the side of happiness.

Put your probing mind on hold. Poking your nose into somebody else's business will end in disaster. By showing respect for people's privacy, they'll honour your boundaries. This is especially true with regard to work. Stop checking up on a colleague. If they miss a deadline, don't worry. Your reputation won't be affected by their poor performance. Right now, it's more important to look like a team player than establish a superior work ethic.

No matter what messages you get from popular culture, your self worth and bank account are not synonymous. If you have a job which isn't especially glamorous, cheer up. Superheroes only exist in comic books. Truly honourable people perform their jobs dutifully, treat people well, and live according to their principles. It may not seem very exciting, but it's actually quite beautiful. Give yourself credit for doing the right thing. Yearning for excitement? Develop your musical talent. Learn to play an instrument or try writing songs.

Try not to be self centred, even though you have lots of responsibility on your shoulders. The best leaders put the needs of their team first. It may be necessary to work over the weekend to finish a project. Don't take out your frustrations on underlings. After all, they aren't getting the same compensation. Console yourself with the knowledge that if you do a good job, you could receive a bonus, raise, or prize.

Your faith in facts could be shaken when an individual proves an organisation's numbers are wrong. Let this be a lesson to you. If someone makes a questionable claim, do some independent research or you could be portrayed as spreading disinformation, too. A short trip for pleasure is just what you need. If you have romantic partner, be sure to communicate your devotion. All too often, you don't articulate your feelings.

Don't wait for people's approval regarding your financial plans. Some people may accuse you of being irresponsible or selfish. They don't realise you've made a great deal of personal sacrifices in the past few weeks. Now you're being given an opportunity to pamper yourself, and you've got to take it. Go ahead and buy yourself some new clothes, luxurious toiletries, and fantastic shoes. When you look good, you feel good. Set some time aside for reading, writing, or craftwork. Flex those creative muscles!
