It isn't possible to be direct with an abusive person. That's frustrating for you. You're not the type who likes to beat around the bush. Unfortunately, a confrontation will have bad consequences for innocent victims. It's better to operate by stealth. Filing an anonymous complaint could catch a supervisor's attention. Once the authorities get wind of what has been happening, corrective measures will be taken. At that point, you can stop worrying about sabotage and get back to work.

Moving past a difficult situation makes you breathe a sigh of relief. You're excited about the future. Working with a different group of people will be challenging and stimulating. You won't have all the skills to be successful at first, so be sure to ask for help. A compassionate colleague will come forward to show you the ropes. By sticking close to their side, you'll acquire valuable knowledge that will serve you well for years to come. Make it your mission to form helpful relationships at work.

You face some stiff competition. Do not underestimate your enemies. While you are undeniably talented, there are other gifted people in your midst. If you slack off, you will be outperformed. It's important to stay focused on your goals. Losing an assignment to someone who is faster, smarter or more original will be difficult. Instead of getting consumed by jealousy, treat the situation as a wake up call. What can you do to improve your skills and add to your qualifications?

Taking a break is critical. You've been working around the clock to complete tasks. If you keep pushing yourself this hard, you'll suffer burnout. Turn off your mobile and computer and enjoy some quiet time. Read for pleasure, take a nap or soak in a scented bath. Keep your schedule free of appointments. It will take time to get used to a slower pace of life, so expect to be anxious at first. Slowly but surely, your muscles will stop tensing and you'll be able to relax.

A friendship or romance has reached the point of no return. In a way, you're relieved. You hate wasting time on any relationship that has diminishing returns. Although you are sad things didn't work out, you're relieved you won't have to keep up a false front any longer. Move into the future with your head held high. There will be other opportunities to meet interesting people. Until then, keep your own counsel and be good to yourself. Learn to appreciate solitary pleasures.

You'll be asked to mediate a conflict. That's because everybody knows you can keep a level head, even when everyone else is burning with anger. This logical stance makes you the perfect choice for resolving a dispute. Talk to each party separately. Find out what needs to be done to resolve a stubborn problem. Both sides will have to give up something to meet in the middle. Be scathing with a person who won't budge. This egotist can be shamed into a compromise.

You're more determined than ever to get what you want. If this means operating by stealth, so be it. Instead of announcing plans to land a new job, operate in secret. Spreading the word about a great employment opportunity will only increase the competition. Do your best to throw rivals off the scent. You might even want to spread a rumour that you heard the employer in question isn't very good. It's a sneaky but effective tactic. Increase the odds of getting ahead.

Dealing with people in authority will be easy if you are respectful. You've always been suspicious of people in power. Don't let this attitude undermine your ability to get a license or special favour. You'll catch more flies with honey than you will with vinegar. Besides, it will be helpful to have an influential contact in a government agency. You never know when you'll need some extra assistance with official matters. Agree to follow the rules, even if you don't agree with them.

Someone who deals with problems logically will offer good advice. Make sure to follow these suggestions. It's hard to see this situation clearly because it churns up powerful emotions. Don't let your heart prompt you to do something you will later regret. The urge to get back at a former romantic interest is powerful. Carrying out this impulse could get you in trouble with the authorities. Protect your reputation and obey the law. Karmic justice will take care of your old amour.

Coming to terms with an inconvenient truth is important. Admitting defeat will allow you to change direction and make a fresh start. It will take time to overcome your disappointment, so be patient. Treat yourself kindly. Splash out on new clothes, get a spa treatment and take a few days off work. Indulging your sensual side will soothe your bruised ego. When you treat yourself well, others will follow suit. Don't take cruel remarks seriously. They aim to hurt you and have no basis in reality.

You're not looking at the big picture. As a result, it feels like you've been backed into a corner. Instead of dwelling on your problems, try finding ways to escape them. Getting a new job, moving to another town or breaking off a troubled relationship could make life much easier. Your decision will send shock waves through your social circle, but that's better than remaining stuck in a toxic situation. You have the power to support yourself as long as you don't fall victim to fear.

Stop trying to repair a situation that is beyond your control. The only thing you can change is your own behaviour. If a friend has been draining your emotional and financial resources, cut the cord. You've gone above and beyond the call of duty for this loved one. Surround yourself with optimistic, accomplished people who never feel sorry for themselves. Their upbeat energy will empower you. Adopting their habits will make it easier to cope with small problems that used to send you into a tailspin.
