A desire for change will tempt you to burn some bridges. Don't say or do anything hasty. You have to maintain the status quo, if only to realise a cherished dream. Someone who has contacts in your desired field will be able to help you become a member of an impressive organisation. Hidden enemies have held you back and stopped you gaining entry to this club before. Now you have a supporter, it will be impossible to block your path.

You've been slow about forming an opinion about a friend's strange behaviour. Ultimately, you can't afford to mix with someone who constantly puts themselves in the path of danger. Nobody is more loyal than you, but there's a difference between sticking around when times are tough and supporting a bad habit. You're about to receive an impressive award. Don't invite this troublemaker to attend, or an embarrassing scene will ensue. Go ahead and splurge on a new outfit for this glittering ceremony.

You long to take action against an outmoded institution, but this isn't a good time. Instead of raging against the machine, try to work with it. Important paperwork cannot be accessed if you keep challenging bureaucrats. Take a deep breath and resign yourself to playing this silly game. A friend who has connections at this organisation can speed the process. You hate having to pull strings this way, but going the conventional route will cause you to miss an important deadline.

Be evasive when somebody asks about your plans. Going off to a private hideaway will help you rest, relax and rejuvenate. This can't happen if people know where you are. The last thing you need is somebody stopping by to discuss their problems or ask for help with an emergency. You hate to seem cold, but you really do need a little peace and quiet. Tell a trusted confidante what you will be doing then sneak off when nobody is looking.

Helping a group that is suffering will be difficult. Some people are so determined to maintain their independence they refuse all offers of assistance. Instead of pressing your point, make a diplomatic retreat. The person in charge will approach you later, when you have gained their trust. In the meantime, head off to a party with your amour. The two of you will turn heads. It makes you proud to be half of a power couple. Single? You won't be for long.

You have big plans, but aren't getting much support from your best friend or lover. Climbing the ladder of success gives you a sense of purpose. Unfortunately, your goal takes attention away from your personal life. This feels threatening to somebody who is afraid of losing you. Take this opportunity to appease their fears and lay out a plan to stay connected. If you're going on an interview, be sure to assemble an outfit beforehand. Make sure everything is laundered and pressed.

Get a second opinion if you are not satisfied with a medical diagnosis. Making an extensive list of your symptoms, along with all the medicines you are taking, can be helpful. Do this when you have a few solitary moments to think. Seemingly separate conditions could be related, so be as thorough as possible. For instance, if you have stomach pain and suffer from headaches, include both problems. Getting a good job will require some additional training. Think about earning an advanced degree.

You long to confess a crush to the object of your affection, but hold on. It will be better to work on your friendship before steering this relationship into romantic waters. After spending time together, you may decide you're really not compatible. Are you already in a relationship? Connecting with your amour will be difficult. Instead of pressing for more intimacy, turn your attention to career pursuits. You have a chance to land a prominent position at a glamorous company.

You're not in any hurry to make a decision, which is frustrating your family. They want to solidify plans for a holiday, but you're too busy weighing your options to respond. If you keep playing the waiting game, you'll be shut out of this trip altogether. Think about how sorry you'll feel once everybody goes away and you're left home alone. Throw your hat in the ring and make a list of things to pack. This promises to be a fun filled voyage.

A desire to help others will be thwarted by technical breakdowns. You won't be able to give somebody a ride or print out documents thanks to a technical glitch. Instead of beating your head against the wall, look for a more pleasant way to pass the time. Working on a craft project will ease your frustrations. When things go wrong, you have a choice between cursing your bad fortune and making an alternative plan. Look at this as an opportunity to become more flexible.

Nothing makes you mad like a creative block. The harder you push for inspiration, the more elusive it becomes. Turn your attention to a mundane task. Washing the dishes, sweeping the floor, or doing the laundry will trigger a brilliant idea. If you're looking for love, you could find it at a festive party. You won't have to dress up for this event, but you should take extra pains with your appearance. Wear a colour that makes you feel confident and sexy.

You long to stay home, but that won't be possible. It's time to make a public appearance. Project an air of confidence and authority, or a proposal will fall flat. You have a great deal invested in this idea. Launching a business, product, or service will attract the fame and fortune you desire. After you've finished your presentation, head out for a quiet dinner with your best friend. They'll be able to soothe your fears until the final decision is made.
