Your wilful personality could cause problems at home, so be ready for fireworks. Part of the problem is that you don't give people enough credit. If somebody proposes a new idea, don't shoot it down immediately. Think it over for a day or two. In time, you may see the wisdom of this proposition. Stranger things have happened!

Beware of telling tales out of school for mere spite; you may come to regret this decision. It's hard to keep such juicy information to yourself, but consider how your reputation may be damaged by repeating such gossip. Sure, it's exciting to be the one to explode a bombshell, but eventually, others will think of you as untrustworthy.

A money-making proposition is probably too good to be true, so don't get your hopes up. Be especially careful about promising friends jobs, loans, or gifts. Unforeseen circumstances may force you to break your word. Folks have a way of exaggerating small blessings. Take everything you hear with a grain of salt.

Although you're not the bragging type, you may be tempted to talk yourself up to someone important. Be careful not to give the wrong impression, or you may be asked to demonstrate a skill that you haven't quite mastered yet. It's hard not to feel competitive with accomplished people, but be realistic about your own strengths and weaknesses.

Beware of being too sanctimonious, or you could miss out on a golden opportunity. Yes, other people's methods may not meet your standards, but that's no reason you can't work with them. It's time you unbent a little. By mixing with folks from different backgrounds, you could have some prejudices shattered.

Never a lender or borrow be as today's planetary energies cause sheer confusion. A friend who claims to need financial assistance may be better off than they pretend. You may feel like you're prepared to incur a big debt, but the future could prove you wrong. Resist the urge to apply for credit cards or sign loans, too.

You may be reading more into a relationship that is actually there; be careful about making public declarations. It's better to have an honest talk with the person in question while you're alone. That way, you'll understand exactly what they expect of you, and where they think the future is headed. Assume nothing!

You're tempted to make grand, exciting plans, but there remains work to be done. Don't make any commitments until you've fulfilled all your obligations, no matter how petty. Nothing creates resentment like leaving people in the lurch while you're off having fun. Keep away from travel magazines until you're truly finished.

People have a way of making extravagant promises that they can't possibly keep. Be especially wary of embarking on a romance now, as you could be bitterly disappointed by an inconstant suitor. If you're already in a relationship, your mate could forget some special plans. It might be wise to give them a pointed reminder.

Perhaps you're expecting too much of close friends and associates; be realistic. If someone has exhibited irresponsible behaviour in the past, it's not likely they'll reform overnight. Similarly, friends who have been overwhelmed with personal problems may not be inclined to give you the attention you feel you deserve.

A piece of exercise equipment or a fad diet isn't all that it is cracked up to be. If you want to be fit, you'll have to follow more traditional methods. It's better to set a series of small goals than to expect miracles overnight. Hire a personal trainer to overlook your progress, or get a friend to monitor your regimen.

Even small risks can backfire disastrously right now; stick to the tried-and-true. This is especially true with regard to money. Investment schemes, gambling propositions, and buy now/pay later plans should be avoided like the plague. Stay out of trouble by busying yourself with a creative project. You've got a wild imagination today!
