Bending over backwards to accommodate a partner is a big mistake. Although your amour has many admirable qualities, he or she may have a tendency to take advantage of your generosity. By drawing firm boundaries, you'll be able to have a more successful relationship. Generally, you're not a pushover, but you have a blind spot where this character is concerned. Be aware of it. A trip for business that was postponed could be back on again.

Mixing business with pleasure is a mistake. If you get romantically involved with a workmate, one of you should find a new position or both of your reputations will be suffer. This may be a good time to seek opportunities outside of your current industry. You're not particularly fond of change, but are more apt to make a transition when you have an attentive lover. Your sex appeal is stronger than ever.

It may feel as though a romantic relationship or creative project is at a dead end. Cutting your losses may be the wisest course of action. You've expended lots of time and energy on this endeavour, and are too tired to make another attempt. Fortunately, a good friend is poised to help you through this difficult time. Lean on him for support. After a few days, your strength will come flooding back, and you'll wonder why you didn't make this move sooner.

Home could feel suffocating; usually, you see it as a haven from the outside world. Now you're starting to think it is preventing you from realising your full potential. Maybe overly concerned relatives are undermining your confidence. Perhaps the prospect of leaving comfortable surroundings is making you avoid a career change. Whatever the reason, you've got to climb out of this rut. Start by changing your daily routine.

Telling a colleague the truth will be something of a challenge. Unfortunately, pretending their behaviour is fine is doing more harm than good. Somebody must confront them, and it looks as though you're the only candidate for the job. You may not realise it, but your words carry great weight. A few stern directives from you could make all the difference. Once you get this out of the way, everyone will be much more productive.

An ethical conflict is weighing on your mind. You long to enjoy the same luxuries as everyone else. If this means acquiring them through underhanded ways, you're willing to do so. Still, something is preventing you from taking such a drastic step. It's called your conscience. Deep down inside, you know you can't be happy if you use deception to get love or money. Is someone modelling their behaviour on yours? Set them a good example.

Getting caught up in surface considerations like clothes, beauty, or status can create trouble for you. Stop putting so much emphasis on these cosmetic issues, or you could miss out on important relationship. You may not realise it, but people are much more interested in what you think than how you look. It's time to cast off silly prejudices you had foisted on you as a child. If a relative tries to tick you off, give them a piece of your mind.

Loneliness could prevent you from making important contacts. You've got to get back into the habit of socialising. Attend a party or work related gathering. Make conversation with people. If you're not sure what to say, read some books on the art of conversation. Avoid dead end topics like the weather. One of the best ways to make a connection with a stranger is to enquire after their interests. People love talking about themselves!

As far as a certain people are concerned, it feels as though you can't do anything right. Getting their approval is an exercise in futility. It's better to go off on your own. You're a lot more capable than you realise. Although it will be difficult at first, you can find success through diligence and hard work. Social contacts can help, but only if they are based on mutual affection. Feeling like you're obligated to others will only undermine your talent.

Taking the easy way out could be undermining your career prospects. Acquiring new skills and keeping abreast of the latest technology is essential to your success. Charm and experience are all well and good, but employers also want workers who are willing to move with the times. If you don't like the direction your industry is going, find another path. You've got plenty of interests. There's no reason you can't break into a new field.

You may not be able to take a glamorous trip, which really frustrates you. Work and family obligations require you stay rooted to the spot. Try not to let your frustrations spill over into your relationships. There will be other chances to go away. Right now, you've got to reconcile yourself to the present circumstances. Once you stop dwelling on your disappointment, you'll start taking pleasure from life as you know it. That seems incredible now, but give it a try.

A loving relationship could cloud your thinking. If friends are saying your partner is unreliable, don't brush these comments away. Instead, review your amour's behaviour. Does it match with their words? If there's a discrepancy between what your lover says and what they do, there is a problem. Stop taking their words at face value, or you'll end up feeling used and abused. You don't have to be a victim if you don't want to be.
