You don't feel an affinity for somebody with whom you're forced to work. This is really difficult, as you hate butting heads all the time. Unfortunately, you have to make every appearance of being a team player. An executive is watching your progress. If you manage to keep your cool, this will be an opportunity for advancement. Unleashing your temper will compromise your reputation and create all sorts of headaches. Choose the high road; it's the fastest path away from this problem.

Arguments over mutual responsibilities are affecting your health. You're tired of getting in big, stupid fights about who should do the dishes or run the errands. What it comes down to is a power struggle. The two of you are operating from very different frameworks. By sitting down and discussing how it feels when one of you leaves work for the other, some progress will be made. Of course, you should accept that when your partner does a job, you can't complain about how it was executed.

It feels like all you ever do is work while everybody else does what they want. Stand up for your rights and take a break. If a job falls through the cracks, so be it. This will teach others a valuable lesson about what you do contribute. A friend will invite you on an expensive getaway. You simply can't afford such a splurge. Arrange a fun trip that is within your budget. You don't have to break the bank to enjoy yourself. Strive to find a middle ground.

You could stand to be a little more nurturing towards a loved one. It's hard to be sympathetic, since you've been given the lion's share of the work. Still, their problems are real and serious. Maybe you can lighten the load by getting some outside help. Hiring someone to clean or run errands will put a dent in your budget. Still, it's better than feeling angry and stressed all the time. Tell your boss you have increased responsibilities at home, and can't handle extra duties right now.

You must practice discipline if you're going to reach a personal goal. Stop setting yourself up for failure by surrounding yourself with temptation. Steer clear of friends who encourage bad behaviour, too. Some of your loved ones have a vested interest in keeping you stuck. Although you will miss their company at first, it's critical to break free of these relationships, at least in the short term future. Your mental and physical health is at stake here. Be careful.

Negative thinking is having an impact on your performance. If it's hard to find a silver lining to a particular cloud, make more time for pleasurable activities. Read a book that has always brought you comfort. Watch an uplifting movie. Talk to a friend whose enthusiasm inspires you. Do whatever it takes to get out of this mental rut. Try not to take out your frustrations on a loved one who only wants the best for you. In fact, you might want to thank your friend for their support.

You don't feel especially confident about a business venture. Try to back out while there is still time. You work too hard to see your hard earned cash wasted by an irresponsible executive. A quarrelsome relative will try to pick a fight. Don't let family comment on your personal life. By establishing a firm boundary, you'll put an end to a painful dynamic. There are some situations that even your diplomatic skills can't fix.

It's difficult for you to express what you really want. You're afraid you'll be punished by a forbidding lover. The two of you should work on your relationship. It's impossible to get anything accomplished when you feel like you're walking on eggshells. To add insult to injury, a bossy relative or neighbour is wearing on your last nerve. Don't try to reason with this know it all. You're better off smiling and nodding at their assertions, no matter how absurd they are.

Someone who is insensitive to your plight will try to make trouble. Do your best to make an appeal to the powers that be. There's still a chance your pleas will fall on deaf ears. If that happens, you'll have to pay a penalty. Let this be a lesson about trust. Never reveal personal information to people until they've proved their loyalty. It's especially important to maintain an air of professionalism in the workplace. Confiding in colleagues is an exercise in disaster.

A person will try to befriend you for personal or financial gain. Be very wary of someone who takes an interest in you. You may not realise it, but you have talents and connections that are very useful. Don't share them indiscriminately. Of course, you don't have to adopt a cold, uncaring attitude. You just might want to become a little more formal when dealing with strangers. Once they realise you're not a soft target, they'll look for another victim.

A jealous rivalry is making life difficult. You'd rather measure your success by your own values, but your competitor has different ideas. Getting pulled into this 'anything you can do, I can do better' dynamic is tiresome. Maybe it's time to put your cards on the table. Once your competitor realises you are indifferent to this contest, they'll stop being so annoying. A government agency won't grant you permission or release paperwork unless you fill out forms exactly to its specifications.

Although you're famous for being a visionary, you do have some traditional views. Try not to let them get in the way of forging a friendship. Although the two of you have different perspectives, you do share a love of learning. Swapping reading or viewing recommendations will be a great bonding experience. It will also open your eyes to views and ideas you wouldn't necessarily have thought about. Watch what you say, especially if you get impatient with somebody.
