It isn't practical to do things your way. Don't throw a temper tantrum when other methods are employed. Showing grace under fire is the best way to achieve success. If people see you are flexible, they'll be more likely to try your suggestions. Cultivate patience. Your partner is pressing you to burn your bridges. While you'd love to gather all your marbles and run home, that will deprive you of some valuable business contacts. Grit your teeth and project a pleasant demeanour.

You want to pursue a course of study independently, but that isn't possible. The only way to progress is to study with an expert. Before taking an expensive course, contact people who have previously attended it. You may discover the instructor has a bad reputation. It may be better to get a private tutor. You work best with someone who is patient and self assured. An erratic teacher who skips from topic to topic will make you nervous and irritable. Contact a nearby university for recommendations.

Goals are undergoing radical changes. A subject that once fascinated you has lost its lustre. You're ready to change focus. This causes some strain in a romantic relationship. Your amour is still fully invested in this idea. You may decide you are no longer suited. Parting ways will be difficult. There is still a strong physical connection between you. In the final analysis, you'd rather be with someone who shares your interests. Make a clean break as quickly as possible.

It's difficult dealing with an authority figure. You're tired of being subjected to their whims. Several times you have been instructed to launch a project, only to be told to scrap it after you've devoted long hours to it. You're tired of having all this hard work go to waste. Your amour is urging you to find another job. Although you dislike change, you have to admit you'd be happier elsewhere. Start looking around for a new position. A good opportunity will soon arrive; be ready to apply.

You long to explore greener pastures, but it's simply not possible. Finishing an odious task is critical to your success. Instead of abandoning ship, sharpen your focus. It will be difficult to get the assistance you need. Facts and figures remain elusive. You might have to take several trips to the library to obtain critical information. Be patient and persistent. If you do a good job with this assignment, you'll be given more freedom with the next. Treat this job as an opportunity to prove your worth.

A financial deal will suddenly fall through, which is a bitter disappointment. Instead of dwelling on your bad fortune, make a list of your blessings. When you see yourself as a prosperous person, it becomes easier to attract moneymaking opportunities. You will be able to sell your handiwork for a profit, but this will take time. It may take months before you see a return on your investment, so be prepared. Continue to advertise and look for places to sell your products.

An overwhelming desire for freedom will cause jealousy in a relationship. Your partner feels hurt and rejected. Be clear about why you want space. Usually, you're eager to work as a team. Working closely with another person can have an adverse effect on your creativity. It's important for you to have private time. This will allow you to develop ideas past the germination stage. Too often, you scrap intriguing concepts after sharing them with a well intentioned business or romantic partner.

It's tempting to abandon a project that has been giving you difficulty. Throwing in the towel would be a terrible mistake. When you meet obstacles, remain calm. A neighbour or relative may have valuable advice. Don't dismiss their suggestions too quickly. A perfectly daft idea will work well. It's time to give people the credit they are due. Someone who seems flighty is actually accomplished. The sooner you recognise people for their true talents, the more rewarding your relationships will become.

It isn't possible to keep the courtship phase of a relationship alive. At some point, you and your amour will drift into an easier sort of companionship. Don't feel threatened by this turn of events. A great deal of comfort can be derived from a committed romance. Friends may tease you about settling down. Turn a deaf ear to these taunts. You and your amour may want to maintain separate bank accounts, since you have different attitudes about saving and spending.

Stop making excessive demands on your family. Although your kin have given you lots of support in the past, there is a limit to their generosity. If you need childcare while you're working, prepare to pay for it. Hiring a professional babysitter will take the pressure off a strained relationship with a parent, in-law or cousin. Don't worry what friends will think of this arrangement. You have to do what is best for your situation, even if it defies social expectations.

Your unconventional ideas make people uneasy. It may be wise to avoid controversial topics like religion and politics in mixed company. Although you don't like to admit it, having an extensive social circle is critical to your success. This is especially true if you have your own business. People are far more likely to recommend you for jobs if they find you agreeable. It isn't hypocritical to keep your thoughts about current events to yourself or discuss your ideas at a club or organisation.

Beware of lending money to a persuasive pal. This manipulator doesn't care about your financial well being; they just have their own interests at heart. See what happens when you refuse their request for money. If they accuse you of being selfish, you will learn something about their true character. You don't have an obligation to give financial assistance to anyone other than family. If someone thinks differently it's because they are trying to take advantage of you. Be honest with yourself.
