You could be misled by an organisation or group of friends. Normally, you have no trouble spotting insincerity or corruption. This situation will prove the exception to the rule. If a lot of people are behind a particular movement, be wary. Question motives, research claims and investigate backgrounds. The information you dig up will be eye opening. In the meantime, your boss could reprimand you for something you didn't do but the truth will soon come out and you'll be vindicated.

Fame and fortune aren't all they are cracked up to be. You're better off pursuing your favourite activities because they give you pleasure, rather than taking a path that will attract attention. There are so many examples of celebrities who can't handle the pressure of being in the spotlight. Do you really want to join their ranks? If you're given a choice between working with the public and operating behind the scenes, choose the latter. Don't be tricked by a relative's manipulative behaviour.

The latest fad isn't worth your time. Resist the temptation to go on a crash diet, adopt a New Age philosophy or buy into a quick fix. If you want to realise your dreams, you need to work hard and stay focused. Turn a deaf ear to someone who wants to act as your mentor. This person may have romantic designs on you. It may be difficult to find common ground with a neighbour or loved one. Avoid sensitive topics like religion or politics.

Giving someone else total control of your finances is a serious mistake. Yes, the prospect of handling your own money is frightening, but it's also empowering. Refuse to let someone make payments or sign cheques on your behalf or you could get taken for a ride. If you're offered loans, grants or a child support settlement, question the details. You could get a much better deal if you push for one. In this case, you need the help of a professional lawyer.

If you're experiencing trouble with a loved one, reach out and resist the urge to isolate yourself. Refusing to discuss the problem will only make it worse. Yes, it's understandable your feelings have been hurt. True, it's hard to expose yourself to more pain. But unless you're willing to take a chance for the sake of love, your relationship will suffer. By all means, lick your wounds in private for an hour or two, but then ask your partner for help in resolving the matter.

It seems like a terrific effort to get dressed up and go out, but do it anyway. You never know who you might meet today. Just because it's Friday doesn't mean you have to go casual. Projecting the right image will make all the difference in winning someone's confidence. Besides, you always feel better when you look professional. You'll have plenty of time to relax and unwind when work is over. Until then, put your best foot forward.

Sometimes it feels as though you'll never find romance; you need to breathe life back into a relationship that has lost its zing. Start going on dates together. Dress to impress. Act as though you're trying to win your beloved's heart. Passion needs fuel if it is going to keep burning. If you are single, you may be trying too hard to find a mate. Instead of working to find someone special, seek to satisfy yourself. Devote time to your favourite hobbies instead.

Getting help for a relative or roommate is imperative as you simply can't keep assuming these responsibilities yourself. On some level, you feel like getting assistance is akin to giving up. Nothing could be further from the truth. You've got work to do and a life to live. Giving up your life for the sake of another isn't noble; it's suicide. Ignore a pessimistic friend who thinks the worst will come from this new arrangement. They're not in your shoes, and have no right to judge.

Usually, you have no trouble being brutally honest. Right now you're embarrassed to admit the truth. Perhaps you are being to ask to confess your role in a morally compromising situation. Take heart. By taking ownership of your responsibility, you will win the admiration of people who used to think you were all style and no substance. Treat this challenge as an opportunity for growth. Sometimes you have to sacrifice pride for the sake of something bigger.

You need to be more disciplined with money although in most cases, you're very practical. In recent months you've been falling prey to temptation. Cash has been flowing in regularly, so it's hard to envision a time when it won't be readily available. Consider the long term future, though. By putting these resources into a savings account, you'll safeguard yourself from discomfort if times do get rough. It's always best to have a plan B ready in case plan A goes south.

You may be deceiving yourself about a partnership. It's possible the object of your affection finds your attentions smothering. You've got to loosen your grip on this person, lest they go out of your life altogether. Keeping your bank accounts separate is also a good idea. You work hard for your money and need to keep it safe. Have a joint account for the bills you incur together, and then a separate fund to give you a measure of independence.

Daydreaming could get you into trouble, especially as far as your health is concerned. You've got to be honest about how bad habits are affecting your work. It will be extremely difficult to reach your goals unless you put an end to this behaviour. If you need professional help, so be it. There's no harm in getting medical or psychological counselling. A loved one may not be supportive about the changes you've got planned. Their approval isn't as important as your wellbeing.
