Trying to buy a child's affection will backfire. The best way to improve your relationship is to spend quality time together. Discover their interests, fears and dreams. Instead of denigrating their hobbies, embrace them. When a person feels unconditionally loved, they blossom and grow. Your love life feels like it is spiralling out of control. When your romantic partner resorts to immature behaviour, it's because they feel neglected. Put their needs ahead of your own for a change.

You'll get a reality check after entering a competition. Although you are undeniably gifted, there are several rivals who are even more talented. Resist the temptation to be consumed by jealousy. Learn as much as you can to improve your own performance. Practice makes perfect. A childish outburst will make a bad impression. When you feel your anger rise, take deep breaths. Remind yourself of all the progress you have made. Things are unfolding when they are supposed to. Put your faith in the Universe's endless wisdom.

Doing the work of three people will result in burnout. You must scale back your schedule, even if you love what you're doing. You're surrounded by people who are eager to help. Delegate small jobs to them. Offer more encouragement than criticism to these assistants. It may be necessary to undergo a rehabilitation programme. Stop putting off the inevitable. The sooner you get treatment for an injury or addiction, the faster you will recover. Make vibrant health your priority; nothing else is as important.

A romantic relationship has lost its intensity. No matter what you do, it seems impossible to rekindle the passion you once had for your amour. It may be time to part as friends. Pursue someone who can give the physical affection you desire. Friends will be upset by your decision to go solo. They think you're being selfish and cruel. There's no point making yourself miserable. Only you can decide what will make you happy in love. Stand by your decision.

Professional upheavals make you anxious. You're not sure if you will be dismissed during the next round of job cuts. Rather than waiting for the axe to fall, look for a better position. You're extremely talented. Landing a lucrative job will be easier than expected. Turn a deaf ear to a pessimistic relative who claims you are doomed. They're just jealous of your many gifts. By refusing to fall victim to their gloomy predictions, you'll surpass your own expectations.

A short trip will be delayed by traffic or a mechanical breakdown. It's best to postpone this journey for another time. The last thing you want is to waste valuable time being rooted to one spot. If you must go, bring an audiobook. An unusual belief system makes you feel alienated from friends and family. They don't share your philosophy. Furthermore, it makes them uncomfortable to discuss the subject. Instead of trying to convert them, make friends with those who share your convictions.

If you want to increase your income, you must summon feelings of prosperity. Rather than obsessing over your dwindling bank account, make a list of all the areas of your life where you are abundant. Are you wealthy in friends? Collectibles? Creative talent? Revel in the feeling of having an endless supply of beauty, love, food and warmth. When you feel safe, the Universe will deliver more forms of security. Worrying will drive affluence from your door. The choice is yours.

Getting your way will come at a big cost. Your partner feels neglected and resentful. They'll resort to outrageous behaviour when you insist on relocating, taking another job or constantly partying. If you don't want to lose your amour, you must defer to them. This isn't a good time to sign a contract. There will be some hidden elements to this agreement that are detrimental to your interests. The last thing you want is to be stuck in a deal that drains your bank account.

An embarrassing secret will come to light. Take this as an opportunity to finally come clean. Instead of denying your bad behaviour, own up to it. Friends, colleagues and neighbours won't forgive you automatically. Once they see you have changed, they'll accept your apology. It's so important to back up words with actions. Do whatever you can to demonstrate that you mean what you say. Getting treatment for an addiction, changing your lifestyle or paying off debts will make you feel better about yourself.

Beware of having fun at someone else's expense. What feels like a casual fling to you is serious business to your romantic partner. If you don't want to make a commitment, it's time to walk away. It doesn't matter if you made your intentions clear. Your amour has fallen head over heels in love with you. Maintaining the status quo will break their heart. They want to exchange vows while you simply want to have fun. This is not a good match.

Do you hold your family responsible for personal problems? Stop. It doesn't matter what was done to you. The important thing is to take control of your life. Instead of dwelling on your pain, make an exciting plan. Enrol in university. Study what you love. Pursuing your heart's desire is the best revenge. You're visionary, organised and unconventional. All these qualities will help you cultivate tremendous success. The key is to stop letting people from the past dictate your present decisions.

Don't look down on someone for having less education. Although a neighbour or relative doesn't have a great deal of formal training, they have enormous emotional intelligence. By showing respect for their instincts, they'll let down their defences. Your rivalry will become a friendship. Continual disruptions in your neighbourhood make you yearn to relocate. Don't make any hasty decisions yet. Once a big construction project is finished, love for your community will deepen. Be patient; great things are about to unfold.
