You've been working steadily for the benefit of others. Now you have a chance to pamper yourself. Getting a spa treatment, splashing out on clothes or enjoying a movie marathon will replenish the emotional void inside. If you've been yearning for adventure, take this opportunity to schedule a fun trip. You can ask a friend to accompany you, but you'll probably prefer going solo. It will be refreshing to do what you want, when you desire. Have fun being a lone wolf.

You shouldn't settle for second best, especially when it comes to relationships. If someone is trying to befriend you, be wary. Don't let them into your life unless you always feel good in their company. Sensing some unspoken competition or resentment is a big red flag. When they ask you to go out to lunch or the movies, be ready to make a polite refusal. You might say your personal time is limited or that you have heavy family commitments that cannot be broken.

Despite your best efforts, you will not be able to rescue everyone who needs help. Certain individuals are their own worst enemies. No matter what you do to fix their problems, they'll find other ways to complicate their lives. You have better things to do with your time. If you're dealing with health concerns, make them your first priority. Cancel a commitment and get a medical consultation. Scale back your volunteer work and take up therapeutic activities instead. Be your own champion.

You dream about a future when you're financially secure enough to take a break. Instead of keeping your nose to the grindstone, book a holiday. If you don't have enough money to go away, enjoy some time at home. Domestic pursuits like cooking, gardening and decorating can be just as fun as touring a city. You love establishing roots and creating comfortable surroundings. Stay off social media and don't check your work messages while you're relaxing.

Taking everything personally is holding you back. It's time to brush off perceived insults and move towards your goals. If someone criticises your work or mocks your appearance, fight back. You're willing to listen to constructive feedback, but you won't tolerate abuse. A relative who has always played mind games with you is about to be exposed. They'll be shocked when you confront them in a public forum. While they're stammering for a response to your ultimatums, your self-esteem will soar.

Beware of speaking your mind with a respected elder. The last thing you want is to make a bad impression on someone who can help you. Although you might feel hypocritical, it is better to listen more than you talk. Your reserved attitude will win the confidence of your teacher. Slowly but surely, they'll become more trusting. You know you will have achieved victory when they offer to tutor you. Their guidance will help you reach a level of mastery you never dreamed possible.

Comparing your financial situation with that of friends, relatives and colleagues is making you miserable. Even people who appear wealthy can be horribly in debt. Those who have lots of money may be lonely. You never know what's really going on with a person until you've walked around in their shoes. If you want to cultivate greater abundance, start counting your blessings. This will improve your income. Never underestimate the power of an attitude of gratitude.

Your privacy is very important to you. If you discover someone has been going through your property or looking through your files, issue a stern warning. Take more security precautions. Above all, file an official report. Protecting the identity of this snoop will lead to bigger problems. You are a powerful enemy who doesn't forgive or forget. Friends may urge you to be compassionate. Giving this shady individual a second chance will be cause for regret.

You are in over your head. Instead of panicking, ask for help. Your employer will give you additional training. The reason they assigned you to this job is because they were desperate. Although they knew you have no previous experience, they hoped you were smart enough to figure things out. Although you're very good at learning on the job, you can't possibly know how to execute complicated tasks. As a result, when you request assistance, you will be given it with good grace.

Someone who is interested in your ideas does not harbour a crush on you. This is disappointing but it can't be helped. Instead of trying to steer this relationship into romantic waters, keep things platonic. You can benefit greatly from this alliance, as long as you don't ask for the impossible. A more appropriate partner is out there waiting for you. Right now, you should be focusing on showcasing a creative project or bringing a business idea to fruition. First things first.

Coping with the demands of your career makes you feel guilty. You don't want to neglect your family, but there are only so many hours in a day. It's time to assert your needs to your employer. If they're not willing to give you more personal time, look for a more rewarding job opportunity. It will take time to find a suitable position, so be patient. In the meantime, do your best to snatch quality time with your nearest and dearest.

People will demand free advice. Don't be so quick to lend your assistance. Your experience and talent are valuable. There's no reason you should move mountains for an ungrateful person. Charging a fee for your services will enrage opportunists. These manipulators have no intention of giving the financial support you deserve. Instead, they'll complain loudly about your 'selfish' attitude and try to shame you into doing their bidding. Simply smile and continue what you are doing.
