Beware of doing too many things at once. As a general rule, you're good at multitasking. Right now, a challenging job requires all your attention. Clear everything else off your schedule as you focus on this task. A well intentioned acquaintance wants to give you advice, but they're not fully aware of the constraints that have been imposed on you. Be polite, pretend to listen to their suggestions and then resume what you are doing. It's important to stay in their good graces.

Being stubborn will create serious problems at work. A lack of time and resources is putting everyone in panic mode. Instead of insisting tasks be performed a certain way, be flexible. If you see a colleague struggling with their work, offer to help. Additional training is all they need to move past this rough patch. Fortunately, you're a patient teacher. By banding together, you'll get much more accomplished than quarrelling. Steer clear of gossiping conversations around the coffee maker.

Impulsive behaviour will cause trouble with a loved one. Your partner feels your actions reflect badly on them. Be more thoughtful about what you say and how you behave in a public forum. You may think you're being clever, but others are irritated by your brash attitude. When in doubt, it's best to keep a low profile. Defer to your best friend or romantic partner when making decisions. Your judgment is off kilter. Don't let it bother you. Everybody has their difficult days.

You might be overly sensitive. Try to take casual jokes in the right spirit. Usually, when someone teases you, it's out of affection. Being able to laugh at your shortcomings will make life a lot easier. You have to admit that bearing grudges is exhausting. Have a strategy for dealing with hurt feelings. Keeping busy is a good way to forget imagined slights. It can also help to develop stronger relationships with colleagues. When you know them better, it will be easier to understand their motives.

Carrying out the same duties day after day is a bore. It doesn't look like this situation will change. If you want excitement, you must explore greener pastures. Friends will discourage you from exploring new adventures. They're afraid you'll forget them if you find a better opportunity. Although it's flattering to be wanted, you have to do what is best for you. You might decide to take a job with unusual hours, which will give you less time for socialising, but more opportunity for creative pursuits.

You've recently achieved something impressive. Instead of hurling yourself into a new project, take some time to rest. If you don't relax, you'll suffer burnout. Taking time off work is strongly advised. Your boss may resent your holiday request, but that's their problem. It's not your fault they've become too reliant on you. You have a right to spend more time with your friends and family. Protect your interests. Your best friend or romantic partner will appreciate your decision to spend quality time together.

You long to explore greener pastures, but there simply isn't time. Community obligations are forcing you to stay close to home. You're starting to resent all these chores. Instead of agreeing to participate on every committee, scale back your duties. At first, people will accuse you of being anti-social. You shouldn't feel guilty about making more time for yourself. Don't get defensive; simply stand by your decision and continue to go your own way.

Don't let jealousy into your heart. The prospect of being replaced makes you uneasy, but there's no reason for your suspicion. Try building your confidence instead of hurling accusations at your partner. Spend time each day on an activity that gives you pleasure. Creative pursuits like writing, playing music or developing designs will strengthen your self-esteem. Instead of worrying about your loved one's affection, you'll be planning your next masterpiece.

You're being forced to cope with an unfair situation. No matter how much you protest things are not likely to change. You will have to fall into line and follow some awful rules. Fulfil your responsibilities as quickly as possible and then leave for greener pastures. The sooner you dissociate yourself from an unethical organisation, the better. If you're dealing with a bigoted relative, it may be time to put an end to this relationship. You simply can't stand their toxic energy any longer.

Most people don't share your dedication to work. Try not to hold that against them. If your colleagues seem more interested in their personal lives, that's their prerogative. You have a tendency to pour all your energy into your job. This can take a toll on close relationships. Instead of staying late at the office every day, make more time for your nearest and dearest. Slowly but surely, your priorities will change and you won't feel so passionate about work anymore. That's a good thing.

There won't be an opportunity to express your creative side. This is disappointing but it can't be helped. Financial obligations will force you to accept an unpleasant assignment. Try not to dwell on your unhappiness. The sooner you dispatch this task, the faster you will get paid. If you are stuck in a dead end job, don't quit. Keep doing what is expected of you while seeking another position. It will take time to find a better situation. A well intentioned friend can't deliver on an employment promise.

Don't waste energy worrying what others think of you. Being put in a public position requires making difficult decisions. Some people will be unhappy with your rulings, but it can't be helped. It's better to salvage a project than try to protect everyone's feelings. Be clear about your expectations. Put them in writing and post them in a prominent place. If someone has questions about your methods, be open to explaining them, but do not back down. Sometimes you have to be unpopular to be effective.
