One thing is for sure: Today won't be boring! Tensions are running high, especially at work. A normally quiet colleague could have a temper tantrum, sending shock waves through the office. Your personal life is showing signs of strain, too. A child or lover feels neglected and may up just to get your attention. Stop telling yourself this person doesn't mind your continual absences and broken promises. Actions speak louder than words.

Insisting on doing things your way will cause anger and resentment. You've got to bend or a convenient arrangement will break. Friends have gone out of their way for you in the past, and now you've got to return the favour. Sure, it will cause some inconvenience, but everything can't be sunshine and lollipops. Be realistic with regard to your job. It may not be possible to get time off when you want.

It won't be possible to suppress your anger at a flighty authority figure. You need to confront this person and let them know how their actions have affected your personal life. This argument could prompt you to quit or be fired, but this could be a blessing in disguise. Wait a few days before applying for new work. You need time to process this change of events. It will be easier to seek a position better suited to your needs when you've calmed down.

You're extremely irritable, especially when a know it all offers unsolicited advice. You'd love to tell this person what you really think of their abilities, but you don't dare. There's too much at stake here. By continuing to defer to this person, you could get a letter of recommendation which opens impressive doors. Resist the urge to buy an expensive item on credit. You may not have the funds to cover the debt when this bill comes due.

You may not understand a friend as well as you think. Before making arrangements for this person, ask what he or she would prefer. The answer may astonish you. It just goes to show you can never really know another human being. If you're looking for satisfaction, you won't find it through decadent means. The contentment you seek can only be found within. Take more time to enjoy simple pleasures like good wholesome food, beautiful scenery, or a gorgeous sunset.

Impatience to get things done could cause you to make a mistake. Be sure to double check your work before handing it in. Don't take shortcuts. It's better to hand in a project late than submit a flawed job. Remember, your reputation is at stake. Keeping a big secret it starting to take its toll on you. Sometimes it's better to be truthful than preserve someone's trust. Discuss the problem with a person whose ethics you have always admired.

Don't fall prey to somebody who seems perpetually down on their luck. This person is their own worst enemy. Lending them money or covering up their mistakes will only further enable their bad behaviour. Keep your hard earned cash for yourself. Friends may be critical of a love interest. Although you think their concerns are petty, they could actually be very reasonable. Try looking at the situation a little more objectively.

Trying to cause an uprising may backfire. People are happy with the way things are. Your efforts to upset the applecart will make others suspect your motives. If you're not happy with a particular rule, approach the person in charge. Try to get them to change this law, or at least amend it for special circumstances. You'll attract more flies with honey than vinegar. Contrary to what you might think, your private life is starting to affect your work.

Beware of steamrolling over other people's interests. Just because you have the power to do what you want doesn't mean you should use it. This is especially true if your goals will inconvenience the public. Being a good citizen may be an old fashioned concept, but it's still a valuable one. This isn't a good time to sign legal documents. Some confusing language could ultimately be used against you. Get help from a legal professional to draft a better contract.

Diplomacy isn't your strong suit today. It's hard to keep your true thoughts under wraps, especially when confronted with a stupid idea. Nevertheless, you need to take people's feelings into account. Scorning someone's ideas in a public setting will only make you look cruel. Of course, you shouldn't lie about your impressions. Just take the time to couch them in soft terms. Jealousy could rear its ugly head in a romantic relationship.

Your idealism seems foolish to a business partner. The two of you are going to have to enact a compromise or part ways entirely. Although your refusal to be held prisoner by financial considerations is admirable, it can also be disastrous. Remember your decisions affect the people around you. When you show them consideration, they'll be more apt to give you free rein as far as creative decisions are concerned. A sudden expense could put a dent in your savings.

No matter how loud you shout and scream, a rival will not heed your words. This person is intent on proving you wrong. The fact their methods are utterly daft won't make a bit of difference. Leave them to their own Fate. Meanwhile, you are feeling pressure to conform from a close associate. Their criticisms really sting, and make you want to behave even more outrageously. Don't fall prey to this temptation, or you'll soon have deep regrets.
