Having a collaborator will help you make an important decision. In the past, you've been too hasty, making choices you later regretted. By asking an older, experienced person for advice, you'll gain the benefit of their wisdom. Yes, you could never go against your own conscience. Still, there may be more factors involved with this situation you haven't considered. Keep an open mind. Now is not the time to go on a fad diet; your body needs a full range of nutrients.

Keeping busy is the secret to your happiness. Normally, you enjoy lots of leisure time. Right now you feel anxious unless your hands are busy. Baking, gardening, and pottery are all good outlets for your creative energy. If you're unemployed, volunteer at a charitable organisation that is close to your heart. Pretty soon, the staff will realise you are invaluable and will offer you a job. It just goes to show, no effort is wasted in this world.

You don't ask for a lot, but you do demand respect. If this hasn't been forthcoming, you're likely to pack up and move elsewhere. Before leaving a job or lover, have an honest discussion about your needs. It's possible your boss or amour hasn't been aware that you've felt neglected. If you've been through all of this before, cut the cord and head for greener pastures. It may be necessary to take a temporary job as a means to pay the bills before finding something more permanent.

So long as you're loved ones are happy and safe, you're content. If one of your relatives is having problems, you need to face the issue. Stop denying this family member needs help. Going to a rehabilitation centre or assisted living facility will be painful but beneficial. That's the difficult part of loving someone. At times, you have to be the one to say what's necessary to bring about positive change. If you don't, nobody else will, and great suffering will occur.

If anything makes you anxious, it's feeling as though you're out of your depth. It's time to learn about any subjects that have caused you confusion, whether it's money, politics, or computer skills. The more knowledgeable you are, the less likely people will take advantage of you. This is especially important if you plan on buying a car or gadget. Fortunately, there are a lot of books and magazine articles that can teach you what you need to know.

You're more determined than ever to attain financial security. Taking a second job, embarking on a lucrative career path, and starting a savings account are among the possibilities. One thing is certain: You will not stand still while your bank balance keeps dwindling. Unfortunately, a loved one doesn't share your attitude towards money. If you're going to stay together, you need to make some compromises about spending and saving. If your talks become too tense, enlist the aid of a counsellor.

As much as you hate to admit it, you need to take the initiative in a relationship. Normally, you prefer your partner to take the lead. This time around, you have to be the aggressor. Whether this means bringing up a painful subject or giving somebody an ultimatum is immaterial. The important thing is to pull the trigger now, while you're still in control. If you wait too long, you'll be left standing in the cold, and will curse your hesitancy.

You need a rich fantasy life in order to be happy. Lately you've been so preoccupied with mundane tasks that it's been hard to build castles in the air. Cut back on your workload, even if it means upsetting your boss. Devote at least an hour each day to writing, playing music, or making visual art. People may think you're going over the top and being self indulgent, but they're secretly jealous of your priorities. Follow your intuition, it won't steer you wrong.

Spending more time with friends helps you feel less anxious. You can't help but worry about your financial situation. Take a look around you and you'll realise everybody is managing with less income. Sharing money saving strategies with loved ones will boost your confidence. You've never been an especially materialistic person, but the prospect of living on a shoestring isn't comfortable for anyone. It's especially important to cut down on household expenses like groceries and utility bills.

Getting a greater measure of control over your career is critical to your wellbeing. If you're in a dying industry, it's time to expand your skill set. Start exploring a growing field which has always fascinated you. You can't afford to be a one trick pony in this kind of job market. If your family has grown recently, it may be necessary to take a position that will give you a chance to spend more time at home. It may involve taking a pay cut, but you will think its well worth it.

You want to find a use for your expert knowledge, but may be reluctant to pursue a high profile job. The last thing you want is a lot of responsibility. Still, the only way to find the intellectual satisfaction you crave is to take a more challenging position. If this means taking on additional responsibilities, so be it. Learning something new may be in the cards for you, but it will be a struggle to pay tuition fees. Taking a reduced class load can soften the financial blow.

At times, you're afraid of being overwhelmed by a love affair. You simply can't think straight when you're around the object of your desire. Think back to a disastrous relationship. Do you really want to go through the same kind of heartache all over again? Protect yourself by putting up healthy boundaries. Keep your hard earned money in a savings account and don't make unreasonable sacrifices on your amour's behalf. There should be a limit to your generosity.
