Some unexpected constraints could prove enormously frustrating today. Before setting off to do a task, call the establishment ahead of time. You may discover they are closed or experiencing computer difficulties. Alternately, you may find that some pleasant plans have been postponed for another day. Try to be as flexible as possible. There's no sense wasting precious energy on a temper tantrum. Hang loose.

An unreliable friend could fall through on a promise, making you angry and upset. Take this as a lesson to never put your faith in this person again. True, this character brings much happiness to your life, but there's no point in entrusting them with important duties. A sweet-talking love interest may have ulterior motives. Play your cards close to your chest, and put off big chores for another day. Fill your time with a craft project.

You could attract negative attention through an angry outburst, so be careful. It's easy to get frustrated with inept bureaucrats. If you find you're not getting anywhere with one person, ask to see their supervisor. Continue to do so until you've reached the top of the chain of command. That way, you won't waste your precious energy on someone who doesn't have the authority to help you. Think strategically.

You may be forced to deal with somebody who has strange beliefs or spiritual practices. Instead of passing comments on this behaviour, just take it in your stride. Chances are the person in question is just looking for attention. Don't get too wrapped up in your duties, or you could forget to enjoy yourself today. The weekends are made for relaxation. Force yourself to engage in some therapeutic hobbies, especially if you're stressed.

You may have to make some last-minute changes to a business plan. Don't give up hope altogether; your ultimate success depends on your versatility. Funds from an outside source may not be readily available. You'll have to find another way to finance this project. Selling your creative work may be one method to make up the difference. Offering child care services could be another. Keep your options open.

A business or romantic partner could be behaving erratically. Perhaps it's because they're unsure of your loyalty. Take every opportunity to reassure this person of how much they mean to you. You may not be able to spend enough time at home, which frustrates and saddens you. If work pressures are beginning to mount, take a few days off. Everybody needs a few days off to recuperate the mind, particularly if they're as conscientious as you.

A sudden change of plans may have you scrambling to get your bearings. Don't worry about turning in a perfect performance; nobody could excel under such stressful circumstances. The important thing is that you do the best you can with the resources you've got. Communication problems could occur with a relative or neighbour. Be sure to reconfirm your arrangements before setting off to meet. There's no sense in courting disaster.

This is not a good time to take gambles, especially financial or emotional ones. If somebody approaches you with an offer that sounds too good to be true, it probably is. You're better off taking creative risks. Experiment with techniques you've never tried before. Put a twist in traditional methods that you mastered long ago. The more imaginative you are, the happier you will be. Find a channel for your pent-up energy.

A sudden disappointment could make you angry and frustrated. And while your feelings are understandable, you must work to keep them under control. Find another way to put your plans into action. The obstacles you face may only be temporary. Resist the urge to push loving family members away. These loved ones are only interested in your welfare. By leaning on them, you'll get the strength you need to move forward.

You're so excited about the future that it is hard to settle down. Getting a good night's sleep is imperative if you're going to handle the tasks before you. Avoid caffeine, heavy exercise, and stressful situations. Lull yourself with a hot bath, good book, and soothing music. The more relaxed you are, the better your performance will be. Repeating positive affirmations as you drift off will also increase your chances for success.

Beware of impulse spending because it could get you into plenty of trouble. Items that are on sale may not be returnable, you may find that what seems like the bargain of a lifetime turns out to be a complete waste of money. You're better off channelling your energy into helping others. Doing some volunteer work will ease your material desires. There is more to life that acquiring property; reach out and connect with your fellow man.

You're tired of being stereotyped, and want to break out of your shell. Unfortunately, your erratic behaviour may prompt everybody to ask where their old, reliable friend went. It may be better to keep a low profile as you experiment with new techniques and establish different habits. You're really not in the mood to defend your actions to anybody. Taking up a spiritual practice could calm your discontented heart.
