Beware of abusing your position or you reputation will be compromised. Wait like everybody else has to and don't demand special attention. The more humble and gracious you are the better treatment you will receive. At times like these, it feels as though the only people who get service are the ones who cause a scene. That may have been true in the recent past, but it won't apply today.

It feels as though nobody respects your beliefs. This is depressing, especially since you work so hard to honour other people's decisions. It may be wise to keep your opinions to yourself, at least for the next day or two. Everybody is on the defensive and prone to pick arguments. Don't bother explaining your ideas to someone who is intent on having a fight. They probably just want to take their anger out on somebody else.

Although you want to be close to someone, they're not making it easy. All of your questions are driving this person away instead of drawing them nearer. You've got to take a different approach. This could be a case of things moving too fast. Give yourselves time to get to know each other. If your feelings are real, things will unfold naturally. If not, you can part ways without inflicting too much damage on your hearts.

Don't heap too many expectations on a partner, or you will be disappointed. Nobody else can give you the happiness you seek. It has to come from within. Consider the source of the void that is within you. Perhaps you wanted to pursue a particular career path and failed to do so. If this is the case, consider changing jobs. It may involve taking a temporary pay cut, but consider the long term benefits. Discuss the possibility with your partner.

Beware of over indulging, whether it's food, drink, or exercise. You could inflict serious harm on your body. Your system is quite delicate now, and should be treated accordingly. Be especially wary of unfamiliar food and drugs, as they can throw you for a loop. If you find you are allergic to a particular substance, consult a medical professional. Problems like this can be compounded if they go untreated. Are you heading for an exotic land?

There won't be much room for creative expression and you'll have to do things by the book today. If you do think of a faster, more economical way of doing things, approach your superiors. They may be sceptical at first and insist on your doing things according to the rules. In time, however, they'll see the wisdom of your suggestion and try it out. Meanwhile, try not to dwell on your disappointment. You've got to demonstrate you are a good team player.

Your family isn't being as supportive as you expected and this can be a real blow to your ego. Consider the possibility their concerns are right. Being swept up in a love affair could be clouding your thinking. The object of your affection may not be worthy of your time. It's hard for you to see this because you are so captivated by their charms. If you catch them breaking a lot of promises, you'll know your relatives' fears are warranted.

Don't be an intellectual snob; just because someone has had less schooling than you doesn't mean they're useless. Actually, their perspective is all the more valuable because it's not clouded by a lot of academic theories. If you give them a chance, you might also discover they possess valuable skills. Serving as their apprentice will be a good exercise for your ego. There are things hands on experience can give that a classroom can't possibly provide.

Money you were expecting may not be available yet so you'll have to economise. This sum will eventually come through, but in the meantime, you must find an alternate source of income. Teaching, writing, and tutoring are among the possibilities. Working with children is also possible. It will take some time before you can make up the initial loss, so be patient. Fortunately, friends can come to your rescue by preparing you meals and lending you resources.

Opportunities to expand your horizons are few and far between. It looks as though you'll have to stay put, at least for the time being. This thought could drive you mad, if you're not careful. You've got to make peace with your circumstances. Troublesome relatives are especially hard to bear. Instead of locking horns with family members, try seeing their point of view. Make an effort to do things their way, if only as a conciliatory gesture.

Indulging in escapist tendencies won't make your problems go away. If you're having difficulties with a sibling or neighbour, you should address the issue head on. A frank, honest discussion won't be easy, but it will be productive. Part of the problem is you hate hearing criticisms of your efforts. You will need a thick skin to deal with them, but in the end, you will be glad you addressed the tension between you. You'll make much more progress with them by your side.

Friends have undue influence on your decisions. Just because someone has a certain standard of living doesn't mean you should share it. It's very possible your mates have racked up huge bills to live in the lap of luxury. Making the same mistake would drive a security conscious person like you crazy. Instead of dwelling on what everybody else has, count your own blessings. Once you get started, more and more will come to mind.
