Everything a particular person says seems to rub you the wrong way. Sexual attraction may be at the root of this problem. If you're already in a relationship with somebody else, you need to make a renewed commitment to your partner. In the event that you are free and clear to pursue a romance you may want to ask your tormentor out on a date. After they get over their initial surprise, they'll agree.

You long to put a painful relationship behind you, but it's not that easy. You're not the type that forms attachments easily, so it's especially hard when it comes time to part from a lover. Instead of torturing yourself with memories of the past, consider your future. You have so many hopes and dreams to fulfil. Let your pain be a catalyst for success. By redirecting your energy, you'll heal this stubborn wound.

Unresolved relationship matters could come to a head, wreaking havoc at work. It's important to keep your public and private lives separate, even if it means not answering the telephone and refusing to check your e-mail. Otherwise, your emotions could run away with you at the worst possible moment. In the event you're looking for employment, keep your efforts a secret from your lover until you've landed a job.

Power struggles at work make you angry and resentful, and could result in a fight. You're tired of taking instructions from someone who has less experience and knowledge. The best way to address the problem is to assume responsibilities that show off your talents in the best possible light. That way, your superiors will become aware of your full potential, and give you a greater measure of authority.

Your feelings for another person may not be returned, which is hurtful. Instead of torturing yourself with self-hatred, find an activity that restores your esteem. You've been blessed with a great deal of artistic talent, and may want to try your hand at painting, acting, or film-making. The more engrossing your project, the more quickly your heartache will heal. Your work could even ignite the interest of your true love.

Big changes in your family affairs aren't as traumatic as you think. It's time to claim your power as an equal partner in a relationship. If it means assuming more responsibility, so be it. You're a lot more capable than your relatives believe. By embracing the challenges ahead of you, instead of fighting them, you'll emerge a more vital, attractive person. Don't be surprised if your love life blossoms as a result.

Every move you make and every breath you take seems to attract criticism. Perhaps this is because you've always been so anxious to win everybody's approval. By lashing out against your detractors, you'll establish firm boundaries that will help you thrive spiritually. Don't be afraid to cultivate your own secret garden, even if it means shutting certain people out of your life. It's time to assert your independence.

There's an old saying you can't be lucky in both love and money, and it appears to be true now. Although you're experiencing all sorts of good fortune with regard to your income, the romance you seek has continued to elude you. Perhaps that is because you've failed to develop the parts of your personality that seem to conflict with your money-making abilities. Start following your creative impulses; they'll boost your powers of attraction.

Your authority is being compromised by emotions that are hard to handle. It's hard for you not to act on these feelings, even though you know they are irrational. The best way to resolve this situation is to have an honest discussion with the people involved. If the prospect of a face-to-face confrontation is too much for you to bear, you should write a letter instead. You can't let this situation continue.

A strong attraction for a neighbour or close friend could fill you with shame. You're not sure whether such a relationship is appropriate. You may want to spend some time away from this person to explore whether your emotions are genuine. If the pain and heartache you experience deepens, you're going to have to make some changes. Changing your daily routine or even moving to a new home could be on the cards.

Your power and position could be driving a wedge between you and certain friends. It's no use apologising for this situation; you've earned everything you have. Take care not to put your pals in awkward situations where they can't compete with you. Avoid expensive restaurants and pricey clubs, and refrain from buying them expensive gifts. Otherwise, it will only deepen the forces that are pulling you apart.

Your voice isn't being heard in public, and it's probably due to your approach. Adopting a more forceful manner will make others sit up and take notice of you. Of course, this means facing down someone who makes you quake with fear inside. Once you challenge this person's authority you'll see their confidence crumble like a heap of ashes. Let this be a lesson about perception versus reality; the two are rarely identical.
