Rewards now come for your past hard work. Your gain may be someone else's loss and this will bother you slightly.

Walk away or you won't be as alert or as confident as you could be and then they will have won.

It's hard to hide the fact you're feeling peeved by the amount of time being wasted because some people are shirking their duties.

A youngster in the family or a friend with a youthful personality will come to you for a favour. You will be amused by the way they approach you. As it is you won't mind helping them out.
