Emotional problems interfere with clear thinking. Rather than forcing yourself to make an important decision, reflect on your feelings. If you have a powerful urge to change direction, do it. Ignore anyone who urges you to go against your conscience. Although you're trying to reach the top of your career, you will have to bide your time and wait for the prevailing conditions to ease before you can move forward once again. You'd much rather belong to an association or group of forward thinkers where you are encouraged to experiment, instead of produce. If this means earning less money, so be it.

Life may seem terribly uncertain right now, which is a problem for a security-minded person like you. Creating some comforting rituals can offset your unease. Get into the habit of preparing more formal meals at home, complete with candles, flowers and music. Extreme political or religious views are alienating. The next time a zealot tries to convert you, set a firm boundary. If this pest persists with their lectures, break off the relationship or file an official report. You shouldn't be subjected to these diatribes.

Financial fears are driving earning opportunities from your door. Dwelling on what you lack isn't helpful; it's better to bring your attention to the many blessings you often ignore. These can include anything from a soft bed, a full stomach and good friends. Conflicts will arise over some shared resources. It may be necessary to get legal representation in this matter. Before hiring someone expensive, put out the call on social media for reasonably priced solicitors. You'll get some good recommendations.

Acting like a know it all will create resentment. Get into the habit of asking for feedback and listening attentively to people's suggestions. Slowly but surely, the ice between you will melt. Collaborating is much more enjoyable than barking orders from an exalted height. This isn't a good time to sign a contract. The deal you're being offered will make you miserable. It's better to demand better terms, even if it means delaying a potential source of income. Protect your interests at all costs.

Daydreaming your life away is a waste of valuable energy. There's nothing wrong with building castles in the air, but you should temper these flights of fantasy with work. Apply your organisational skills to a project that has been suffering from neglect. No job is worth putting your health and safety at risk. If you need extra protection, talk to your employer. Getting protective equipment or establishing some security procedures will make you feel much better about the situation.

A well-intentioned friend will give you bad advice. The only guidance you need comes from within. When you are faced with a choice, take the road that feels best to you. If you dislike all your options, forge a new path. Resist the temptation to take a financial risk. It's better to wait for current conditions to change and ease so keep your hard-earned money in the bank, where it will serve as a cushion from economic uncertainty. Don't worry; you'll soon have a chance to expand your earnings.

Relationship difficulties could arise when you find yourself thinking differently to those around you. You're not combative by nature, but you will not stand for injustice. It's important to challenge unfair behaviour or uninformed attitudes. Cherished dreams and goals could seem impossible to attain. Before you give up altogether, think about how others are affecting your attitudes and beliefs. Hold firm to the views and values that have been your guiding light for years. It may be time to distance yourself from friends who are convinced that your ideas are beyond reach.

Although you've accumulated lots of knowledge and experience, it's important to get some specialised skills. Be open to learning every aspect of your desired field. Not only will this make you a hot commodity on the job market when current restrictions ease, it will also earn you respect. It may be hard to accept other people's views and values right now. It seems like everybody could use a tremendous reality check. Resist the urge to lecture somebody on their pie in the sky expectations, as this will only create hurt feelings.

It's hard to achieve intimacy when you're so intent on retaining your independence. Being in a close relationship doesn't mean you're relinquishing your freedom. In a healthy union, you'll continue to pursue your hobbies, interests and work. If your amour is jealous, ease their fears. Be scrupulously honest about finances. Whether you're applying for a refund or selling merchandise, transparency will be rewarded. You'll be treated fairly when you listen to your conscience. Don't be swayed by a cynical friend who is always trying to beat the system.

The terms of a contract are confusing. Don't enter into this agreement until your concerns are addressed. The more someone tries to pressure you into signing an official agreement, the more sceptical you should be about its benefit to you. A headstrong attitude is stopping you from making alliances. Be open to working with someone with less experience. Their tremendous creativity will pave the way to a successful product or service. You'll want a piece of this action; don't reject it out of snobbery.

You're worried about the health of someone with whom you work. Giving them dieting or exercise advice will fall on deaf ears. If this colleague wants to get better, they will take the appropriate steps. Shaming people usually does more harm than good. Getting involved in a secret intrigue will be cause for regret. You're too honest to tell cover stories for a friend who is behaving badly. If your loyalty is questioned, you will know that you're being asked to do something unethical. Stand by your principles.

Pleasure shouldn't trump business. Although it's important to have good times, they shouldn't keep you from fulfilling your obligations. Stop what you're doing and get back to work. Deliver on promises you made to a relative, colleague or neighbour. The transition will be painless. Trying to rescue a loved one will be an exercise in futility. The fastest way to destroy a good relationship is to offer unsolicited advice. Rather than focusing on someone's bad points, develop a deeper appreciation for their many wonderful attributes.
