A work situation becomes more than you can bear when an insensitive colleague directs an insulting remark towards you. Speak up in your own defence, because nobody else is going to.

Going after the object of your desire feels irresistible; it's time to take the risk you've been contemplating for so long.

Playing hard-to-get isn't doing you any favours as far as your love life is concerned; own up to your feelings. Consider why a potential rival poses such a threat to your ego.

An emotional outburst takes everybody by surprise, including you; it's possible you're not even aware of your own feelings. Spend some time on your own thinking things over.

New opportunities are headed your way, but they'll pass you by unless you are willing to take a financial risk of some sort.

You may be oversensitive with regard to your lack of education; if you feel insecure, go out and do something about it. Sign up for a class or get a tutor.
