Arguments about the division of labour create lots of tension. You're firmly convinced you do enough work, but that's not the issue. The important thing is to acknowledge your partner's contributions. Switching jobs is the only way you'll gain a full appreciation for what your friend does on a daily basis. After you get the full picture, you'll stop complaining about your lot in life and your relationship will get much better. Be willing to enlarge your perspective.

Beware of being too demanding with your colleagues. You're one of the hardest working people in the organisation, which is really frustrating. Still, imposing your ethic on others will result in misery. It's better to emphasise people's talents and contributions on an individual basis. Your gift is working above and beyond the call of duty. Another person may have a knack for finding brilliant solutions to stubborn problems. It's all good, provided everyone feels appreciated.

Be gentle with a younger friend or colleague who is having a hard time. As far as you're concerned they are undermining their own success with foolish behaviour. Remember you are a lot more experienced than they are. What seems like simple logic to you is incomprehensible to them. Be patient. Take your cues from a relative who was always kind to you when you were growing up. By providing calm guidance in a time of crisis, you'll pave the way for a smooth road ahead.

A little flexibility is necessary on the home front. You'll never break relatives and roommates of bad habits. You either have to learn to live with their behaviour or propose a job exchange. If cleanliness is your issue, you can do the housework while other members of the team cook, shop, and do laundry. Do you live by yourself? It may be time to hire someone to do the cleaning while you're busy at work. This will give you more time to enjoy the activities you love.

A promotional campaign will be less successful than you anticipated. If you want to attract more customers, you might want to offer discounted services and products for a limited time. Once people see what great offerings you have, they'll come back for more. You might also want to take a second look at your price list. If you charge too much, you'll drive customers away. If you charge too little, your business will suffer. Do an informal survey to set the perfect fee.

Money will be scarce, and you have to take steps to reverse the process. Career opportunities for someone with your particular talents may be slim. Be prepared to take a job outside your realm of experience. There's nothing wrong with taking a position to pay the bills. It won't be a permanent situation. Think of it as a quick solution to a temporary problem. A person with your intelligence and work ethic will be an asset to any organisation. Stress your organisation skills in an interview.

Try not to dampen your boss's enthusiasm for a new project. This scheme may sound perfectly hare brained to you, but your superior has a lot of stock in this idea. Chances are, it will not work out, but that's not your problem. Back away from the project and stay busy with day to day business. In time, your employer will see the error of their ways, and come to you for advice. At that point, you can steer the ship in a more promising direction.

You're extra sensitive to your environment. That's why it's so important to keep away from pessimists. In the past, you teased certain friends for being cock eyed optimists. What you don't realise is that their outlook attracts good fortune. By adopting a similar attitude, you'll be able to push past obstacles that have blocked you for years. Team up with someone who has a knack for making lemonade out of lemons, and resist the urge to mock their methods.

Someone will try to befriend you for unethical reasons. Be cool but polite when dealing with newcomers. You want to be liked for who you are, not for the favours you can perform. A social butterfly like you always has lots of valuable contacts. Unfortunately, this makes you vulnerable to opportunists. A wonderful career opportunity is on the horizon. This offer comes courtesy of your ability to work with people from all walks of life. You don't care about backgrounds and educational levels; all you value is individual talent.

A power struggle is rooted in jealousy. You have extremely strong leadership skills, which tempts people to knock you off your throne. Be wary of rivals who disguise themselves as friends. Listen when a trusted friend warns you about a particular colleague. Acquiring advanced skills will further cement your position as an invaluable member of the team. Do a little research into emerging software programs and electronic gadgets. If you play your cards right, you could get paid to train others.

Differences of opinion over a religious or cultural matter will cause big headaches. Steer clear of controversial subjects; especially someone seems to be baiting you. Protect your reputation. Maintaining grace under fire will win the admiration of onlookers who are very uncomfortable with this whole situation. If you're not feeling too bright, go for a check up. The quicker you treat a minor condition, the faster it will go away. Be willing to alter your routine for the sake of your health.

Lack of empathy is creating serious problems in a close relationship. You're sick and tired to deferring to someone who couldn't care less about your problems. Instead of subjecting yourself to another one of these confessionals, put your energy elsewhere. Set aside for an activity that makes you feel good about yourself. Dancing, taking photos, writing poems, any of these hobbies will boost your self esteem. After you have this breakthrough, you may want to reconsider your friendship.
