Spending more time at home may not be an option because the demands of your career are too overwhelming. An authority figure is bearing down hard. If it's too much to take, you have to consider quitting. People will think you're crazy for even thinking of such a move, but they don't have to deal with the stress. Fortunately, you have an opportunity to pursue a more creative line of work. Be prepared to change gears.

Although you really want to branch into a new area, your present circumstances prevent you from doing so. Perhaps an authority figure doesn't think you're ready to change course. Maybe you lack the necessary background to take an advanced class. Whatever the decision, you have to reconcile yourself to it. Perhaps this is a sign you need to pursue another avenue. You fare best with practical, hands on ventures.

Setting realistic financial goals is essential. In this economy, you need to reduce your expectations. This is painful to admit, but will save you a lot of heartache in the long run. Of course, you don't have to sentence yourself to a life of deprivation. It's just a matter of moving with the times. Right now, you've got to keep debt at a minimum. Paying off your bills will prevent you from affording luxuries. This deprivation will teach you a valuable lesson in resourcefulness.

You really should think about a new image, but a close friend is resisting your efforts. They have a vested interest in keeping you frozen in time. Ignore their hysterical complaints and take an advanced class. Pursuing an interest in art, music, or fashion will give you a new lease on life. Such a path doesn't necessarily mean your relationship will fall apart. It just means you will have to weave elements of your new life into the old one.

Recharging your batteries will be something of a challenge because your colleagues refuse to let your rest. Every time you put your feet up, they break in with a question or demand. It may be best to take the day off. If this isn't possible, prepare for a busy day filled with petty annoyances. You'll be able to decompress this weekend, but that seems like a far way off right now. Make an extra effort to eat well and get enough sleep.

Joining a new group is more difficult than you think. Your idea of fun is much different than theirs. At times, you'll wonder why you even bother. Ultimately, though, you need these people to advance in your career. Be open to what they have to teach you. Eventually, they'll express interest in your pursuits. A lover may feel jealous of this new friend. Do everything in your power to assure them where your loyalty really lies.

You're terrified to pursue a career opportunity. The thought of achieving this much success is daunting. On some level, you're afraid of people calling you a poseur. The only way that will happen is if you behave in affected manner. Be willing to admit your ignorance of certain subjects. Surround yourself with experts, and take their advice when it's needed. In the meantime, develop your own unique talent. It's why you were given this position in the first place.

You're deeply dissatisfied with life, but need to tie up loose ends before making a new start. It's possible you are anchored to a certain spot because of family obligations. If this is the case, you need to seek freedom elsewhere. Taking an online class, learning a foreign language, or mastering a musical instrument can provide the release you desire. Fortunately, a well connected friend is prepared to help. Follow their advice about your next move.

Arguments over money are rooted in power. If the two of you are going to have a successful relationship, you need to sort out your attitudes towards spending and saving. Neither one of you is more virtuous than the other. Resist the temptation to heap scorn on attitudes that are different from your own. If you're drowning in debt, you have an opportunity to reverse the situation but it will take the two of you to get out of this hole.

Navigating a new relationship will be problematic. You're still clinging to your stubborn ways, and that simply doesn't work with your partner. A little compromise goes a long way. If you have a problem with your temper, you need to get it sorted. A counsellor will prompt you to examine your desire to control your environment. Making more room for spontaneity is scary, but ultimately rewarding. Part of the fun of having a partner is the unpredictability they bring.

You're trying to turn over a new leaf about your health, but temptation surrounds you at every turn. It may be necessary to distance yourself from people and places which encourage your bad habits. This doesn't mean a permanent break, but it could create a temporary discomfort. Any way you slice it, you're in for a difficult time. It takes focus and effort to change your ways. A business or romantic partner's increased financial fortune will rub off on you. Enjoy!

A friend is trying to ruin your good time, and it really annoys you. You're always setting aside your plans to accommodate their last minute emergencies. It's time to put an end to this dynamic. Fortunately, a romantic or business partner is poised to back you up. Lean on them for support when a nasty confrontation ensues. You are strong enough to stand your ground. A youngster is suffering from peer pressure. Try lending some perspective on this matter.
