Transportation difficulties will put a crimp in your plans. Make sure your mobile is fully charged and you have contact numbers readily available in case of emergency. If a simple plan is proving difficult to carry out, postpone it for another day. Sometimes the Universe derails the agenda for a good reason. This is one of those times. Having an unexpected day off will be therapeutic. Take this opportunity to catch up on small tasks you've been neglecting.

This isn't a good time to sign a contract or enter an agreement. Hidden clauses will undercut your bottom line. If you're given legal documents, have a lawyer review them. They'll point out some elements of this deal that should be changed. If the other party stands firm, you should walk away. There's no reason you should give up so much for a pittance. Putting a high value on your offerings and services will command respect. Nobody will take you seriously if you act like a doormat.

There's no faster way to make enemies than acting like a know it all. Even if you've been given a powerful position, there are many things you have to learn. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Give credit where it is due. If someone mistakenly praises you for doing a great job with a project that wasn't yours, speak up. When a colleague offers constructive criticism, praise them in a public forum. If you don't know the answer to a question, admit it.

If you're studying a subject close to your heart, keep it under wraps. You're tired of people mocking your interests. You've always had an investment in spiritual matters. When others poke fun at this side of your personality, it is hurtful. There's no reason you should share every last detail of your life with those who don't understand you. Be more selective about the information you share. If a nosy person keeps badgering you, tell them to mind their own business.

Be practical when it comes to setting financial priorities. Trying to keep up with lavish spenders will only make you miserable. It may seem like certain friends are rolling in cash, but they are really overwhelmed with bills. Don't let appearances deceive you. You work hard for your money and should have something to show for it. Begin by putting a set percentage of your income into a retirement or savings account. Learning to live on less will pay off sooner than you think.

A disagreement with your superiors will be stressful. Unfortunately, your nearest and dearest aren't terribly sympathetic with your plight. They believe you should just go along with the programme and stop making waves. That simply isn't possible for a perfectionist like you. When you see something is wrong, you work to change it. This can make you unpopular, but at least issues get fixed when you're in the mix. Continue to hold your ground and demand improvements.

Having general knowledge is helpful, but what you require is practical skills. If you're out of your depth, ask for help. Your employer will be happy to supply you with additional training. It's better to admit your ignorance than put up a false front. The people who know the score will quickly identify you as a poseur. You'll earn the respect of both your superiors and peers by admitting your limitations. Are you having difficulty finding a job? Acquire some marketable skills.

It's time to revise your financial plans. Living from one payday to the next is causing undue stress. You have to have a little fat in the budget to cover emergency expenses and the occasional luxury. If this means finding another job or getting a second one, so be it. Take a hard look at your situation and see what must be changed. If you've been irresponsible with your money, change your habits. Is your current field drying up? Change direction and go into a more lucrative industry.

Communication problems with your business or romantic partner are causing stress. You must adopt a kinder approach to your other half. Instead of demanding they recover quickly from a devastating setback, allow them to heal in their own time. Adopt a greater share of the responsibility. If you're not willing to do that, maybe it's time to part ways. Simmering with resentment will make your union toxic. Look deep within your heart to find which direction you want to take.

Burning the candle at both ends is creating health problems. You simply must slow down or accept the consequences. Resist the temptation to embark on a fad diet or exercise program as a means to restore your energy. What you need is rest, plain and simple. Limit your time on social media. You may want to avoid the Internet altogether. Too much stimulation makes you anxious, and irritable. Opt for more relaxing activities like nature walks, musical interludes and reading.

Putting your nose to the grindstone may be a bore, but it's necessary. You've been having a wonderful time lately, but all good things come to an end. Turn your attention back to work and making money. Putting some funds into savings will protect you from economic uncertainty. Before long, you'll get back into the swing of working. You'll actually become enthusiastic about your responsibilities. Feeling like a productive member of society is good for your ego.

It's hard to think clearly when your emotions are in turmoil. Instead of forcing the issue, make a strategic retreat. Turn your attention to routine work that has a soothing effect. Washing the floor, doing the dishes or baking bread will give your subconscious a chance to take over. Before you've finished your work, a brilliant solution to your dilemma will occur to you. When your head and heart are at war, let your intuition be your guide. It is the most powerful weapon in your arsenal.
