Money, status, and power need to take the back seat to an intimate relationship. If you're looking for love, you have to be more open minded about whom you date. Just because someone doesn't have the same amount of education or income shouldn't disqualify them. On the contrary, you could learn something valuable from someone who has had a radically different experience. It's just a matter of looking past surface considerations.

There's more to life than just work. Stop insisting on doing jobs a certain way and finishing tasks according to a particular timetable. If you continue to follow your current path, you will become a human doing, rather than a human being. When is the last time you sat down and enjoyed some quality time with your best friend, lover, or child? What about taking a leisurely walk outdoors? How about watching a good movie without folding laundry, cooking, or doing chores in the process?

Someone who treats you like a child instead of a peer is making you furious. Just because you have different priorities does not mean you are incapable of success. It just means you are determined to go in another direction. This is one of those situations where you have to have a heart to heart talk with the person who is irritating you. Make your feelings known, and don't couch them in polite terms. If an argument breaks out so much the better.

You feel as if you've lost touch with your feelings. So many relationship problems have demanded your attention that you have become numb. It's time to give your system a shock. Doing something just for fun will rekindle your passion for life. Critics will accuse you of being selfish, but stand your ground. You have a right to have your own private corner, where everything is possible and you don't feel judged.

Try not to discourage somebody who is excited about their plans. You probably think their project is destined to fail, but saying so will only crush their spirit. The worst thing that can happen is that your friend will try and fail. That's better than always regretting a missed opportunity. Besides, there is a chance this hare brained idea just might work. If this happens, you should be the first one to come forward and throw a party to celebrate.

Financial hardship is taking a toll on your relationships. It's difficult to go out with friends when you're struggling to make ends meet. At times, you feel isolated and alienated. Try holding casual get togethers at your home, just to keep in touch with everybody. Alternatively, you may decide to connect with people who are in similar straits. Having a supportive social circle that understands your plight will make it easier to find work and repair your economic situation.

A serious relationship is wreaking havoc with your career plans. Suddenly, you're not sure whether to follow your head or your heart. Lately, you've felt so bogged down by work, the idea of taking a romantic risk seems absurd. Still, you should consider the possibility of what will make you happy. Jobs will come and go, but the possibility of true love is elusive. It may be time to switch gears, even if the thought fills you with terror.

A hidden enemy is making it difficult for you to get access to the opportunities you need. Whether you want to return to education, publish some writing, or take a long distance trip, it will be very difficult. The only way to correct the problem is to change your approach. Be more flexible about which university you want to attend, what publisher you're going to approach, or which country you're going to visit. The more open minded you are, the easier it will be to outfox your rival.

Befriending a person because they have good connections is a mistake. You're too honest to engage in such a charade for very long. Why cause yourself the pain in the first place? If you want to break into an industry and need a recommendation from an influential acquaintance, be honest. A friendship may evolve out of this alliance, or the two of you may decide to go separate ways. At least you will have been forthright about your motives.

A power struggle is robbing you of energy. Walk away from this battle, if only for the sake of your personal life. Lately, you've been so intent on proving your point you're losing your ability to be tender, sweet, and generous. You're a very giving, generous person. When you lose touch with this impulse, you become depressed and angry. Let this blowhard think they've won their battle with you, then turn your attention to what really matters.

Differences of opinion over moral issues are creating difficulties in your professional life. You're tired of colleagues belittling each other's beliefs; you just want to live and let live. Unfortunately, your current situation is hostile. It looks like you'll have to approach human resources or the person in charge to address this issue. Of course, you can always find another position at a different company that treats its employees with respect and dignity. It's hard for you to be productive when people are being ugly to one another.

The romance has gone out of your life, and it's up to you to get it back. Start dressing in a way that makes you feel good. Enjoy activities that appeal to your sensual side. Replace routine lovemaking with adventurous role playing. If you're single, consider what kind of partner you really want, and then adjust your behaviour accordingly. To find a passionate lover, you'll have to show some of those traits yourself. Stop underplaying your feelings and sensuality.
