Your beliefs are being tested. Black and white thinking will not apply to a complicated matter. Instead of entering into a debate, hold back and listen to all sides. You may be surprised to hear some information that has been kept from the public. People are being harmed by a public policy. Until this law is changed, these individuals will continue to suffer. In these sorts of cases, obeying the rules can be more harmful than helpful. Think how you would feel if the roles were reversed.

Settling your debts may be difficult. Friends who owe you money seem to have no intention of paying you back. This will cause a rift in several relationships. You want to help those in need. Being forced to suffer for other people's mistakes is causing serious problems for you. It's time to draw the line. Be willing to turn down requests for financial help. Your first priority is to your own economic wellbeing. Anybody who tries making you feel guilty for protecting your assets isn't a good friend.

You may think a relationship is doing well, but take a second look at your partner. If they seem tired or anxious, you should make some changes. Find practical ways to relieve their work load. Whether this means doing more household chores or finding another job is immaterial. The important thing is to lighten your loved one's work load. Be more forthcoming with compliments and express gratitude for their contributions. Put the focus on their happiness, not your own.

You want to start a new routine, but it will be more difficult than you expect. Old habits die hard. Set small, manageable goals for yourself. If you have an occasional slip, try not to go into a shame spiral. Eventually, you will make progress towards your goal. Patience and persistence are critical to your success. Pace yourself like an accomplished but low key person. Operating beneath the radar will keep the pressure off. The last thing you want is for jealous rivals to weaken your determination.

Lately, you've been going to extraordinary lengths to impress the public. Now you want to relax and have some fun. Unfortunately, you're not in a good financial situation to go on a luxury holiday. Instead of going deep into debt, find ways to have fun without breaking the bank. Going to parks, gardens and libraries are inexpensive ways to enjoy yourself. If you're in love, resist the temptation to shower your amour with expensive presents. You can win their heart by arranging romantic outings.

Dealing with household responsibilities is important. Work has been all consuming. If you continue to pour all your energy into your career, your personal life will suffer. Have repairs made to your electrical or plumbing system. Move to a better place if your current living situation feels toxic. Spend quality time with a younger person who is going through a tough time. Don't worry; your job will be waiting after you have given them a helping hand. Having a secure home base makes you more productive.

Attend to paperwork before it spirals out of control. Sift through your mail. Throw out what you don't need and process what you must. Failing to respond to a government notice could create serious headaches sooner than you think. If there are outstanding bills to pay, contact your creditors. They will be willing to work with you, so long as you are forthcoming about your situation. You should also return any emails, phone calls and texts you've been too busy to answer.

You're tired of being the one who gives all the time. If you're going to receive help and support, you must open your heart. Admit when you feel vulnerable. Call friends when you are frightened. Let down your defences to people who have a proven track record of loyalty. You'll be amazed how many people come forward to offer financial, emotional and practical assistance. Everyone has been eager to repay you for your generosity, but you never seemed open to their overtures. Change your tune.

You're tired of being overlooked. Unfortunately, a needy relative has been eclipsing you. Being more assertive can rub your relatives up the wrong way. If you are going to find fulfilment, you should look elsewhere. Reach out to friends who are sympathetic to your situation who will listen to your hopes, dreams and fears. After a therapeutic conversation with a witty individual, you'll establish a healthier distance from your kin. Some relationships don't warrant heartfelt confessions.

As much as you want some private time, people are not respecting your boundaries. You'll have to go to extraordinary lengths to get peace and quiet. If that means turning off your mobile and staying away from the computer, so be it. You might even have to book a hotel room. If childcare is an issue, hire a babysitter so you can nap, shop, read or do whatever else feels relaxing. People have become too reliant on you. Stop coming to the rescue of your loved ones.

You've been incredibly fortunate. Take this opportunity to show your gratitude for all the luck that has been bestowed on you. Raising money for a good cause will be fun. Dig deep into your social network for contributors. You can make a great deal of difference in the lives of others. That's because people have tremendous respect for you. When you bring attention to an important cause, the public sits up and takes notice. Use this influence to make improvements in the community.

Although you'd rather work from behind the scenes, that isn't possible. Take a stand, even if it means confronting some powerful individuals. You're the only one who has the moral authority to question a superior's behaviour. If this means creating bad publicity for an organisation, so be it. You don't want to be on record as ignoring a terrible injustice. An arrogant bully will wither up like a salted snail when you challenge their behaviour. Summon your outrage and let it fly.
