Accept that whatever the consequences of decisions made today, there will be no remorse. Just as any problems which may arise from previous decisions should be faced without spending too long regretting them. Even if circumstances are remotely linked with another person's past actions, it is unlikely they will see the connection. Too often people dwell on inconsequential details. Avoid falling into this trap by looking ahead not behind you.

If you find yourself in a situation that hampers your progress, you can either do nothing or find a way out. In areas you have had little or no experience in, don't run before you can walk. You need to be sure you are capable of the task you are thinking of taking on before committing to it. If you are anxious or unsure of yourself, ask for help. A little guidance may be all you need to get things going in the right direction.

You and a partner are learning to stretch to meet each other's needs. The little steps you are taking to understand each other will start to make a powerful change in your relationship. Someone you know could help turn one of your dreams into reality. You can be incredibly persuasive when you want something really badly. Turn on your charm and you will easily win such a person over to your side.

You're out of touch with your feelings, only focusing on overpowering emotions. This stops you from understanding your real needs. You aren't being fair on yourself by pushing those who love you and want to help you away. Stay calm and you will start to recognise a problem you're worried about can be soon solved. Listen to those who are doing their best to help. Believe them when they say this conflict is not so bad as you think.

Consider the part you had to play in a recent misunderstanding instead of placing all the blame on a partner. Look into yourself and reflect on your past words and actions. If you or anyone else makes an erroneous judgement, what's important is you are all trying to do your best. If mistakes have been made don't be too proud to apologise. Choose your words carefully as you try to get to the heart of delicate or intimate issues.

Meeting up with an old friend might seem like a bad idea when they remind you of past events you'd rather not think about. Ninety percent of the time you were together were happy times, but it is the other ten percent they are dwelling on. Have they forgotten all the good times? Some people tend to remember the negative more than the positive but this will leave you feeling sad and wishing you had left the past in the past.

Having to persevere until you get a job right will teach you patience and determination. You will cope better in difficult circumstances if you are able to stay calm and keep trying until you find the right solution. Challenging events in your life will have an impact on your personality as these experiences test your inner strength and abilities. You will feel stronger once you've overcome the hurdles you are up against today.

Cashing in a favour will mean that you, in turn, will be able to help out another person. Although you feel guilty about reminding someone they owe you, your desire to help a friend in need is even stronger. There's nothing more satisfying than being able to bail someone out of a tough spot. Not only this, but through making a difference in someone else's life you will gain confidence in your ability to improve your own situation.

Someone is looking for a scapegoat as they won't admit they may have made a mistake. They'd rather blame anyone or anything other than themselves for what has gone wrong. You may have got little credit for the part you played in the recent success of a joint venture but when things start going wrong someone knows how to make you feel very small. You don't deserve this kind of treatment you should point out a few home truths.

You feel betrayed by a friend and may wonder why you put so much effort into a relationship. Trusting someone doesn't come easily to you. That's why it's so distressing to discover a friend or colleague's friendship was all due to them wanting something from you. Have you never used a friendship for personal gain? Could you possibly have expected more from this relationship than they were capable of giving?

Pretending problems between you and a partner don't exist isn't going to make them disappear. Difficulties need to be dealt with and you aren't going to get rid of them so easily. Pushing worries to the back of your mind only brings temporary relief. Refusing to admit there is a problem is even worse. It will catch up with you in the future and trip you up because you never saw it creeping up on you from behind.

We can't all hope to be happy all the time. There are things going on in your life that could well cause you to look on the dark side if you spend too long thinking about them. When you are with others, pasting on a smile has an added advantage of not having to involve them in your personal business. If you look miserable, people will wonder what's wrong and you would prefer not to discuss what's on your mind with anyone.
