A family matter is finally coming to fruition. You could finally hear word about a new property deal. If you're planning to move, you'll have to spring into action earlier than you thought. Try to maintain an air of calm and control, or you could upset some nervous members of your household. Tempers are running high. A roommate or relative could accuse you of being overly bossy. Exercise a little more compassion towards your nearest and dearest.

Some disappointing news could reach your ears and it's hard not to be angry. Everybody knows you are the most qualified person for this position, but experience may not have been the determining factor. In situations like this, nepotism usually plays a role. Take comfort in the fact you did everything in your power to realise this goal. Actually, falling short of it may be a blessing in disguise. You may have been rescued from working with a tyrant.

A source of income could come to an end, making you worried. Resist the temptation to give into your worst fears. Stay positive and look for ways to become financially independent. Acquiring more skills is a wise idea. Unfortunately, your decision to re-educate may not sit well with a romantic partner, who is worried about the bottom line. Table a discussion about the future. You're both too emotional to have a productive conversation. Focus on enjoying each other's company.

Catering to other people's needs is wearing on your last nerve. You've got to ask for help or you could collapse from nervous exhaustion. If a business or romantic partner isn't willing to pull their weight, it may be time to part ways. Fortunately, you've got plenty of friends, neighbours, and colleagues who are willing to assist you. It feels weird asking for help when you're usually coming to people's rescue. Don't worry, nobody will think less of your nurturing skills.

You're sick and tired of being at your colleagues' beck and call. It's time to seize some quiet moments for yourself. Unfortunately, your decision to take the day off could incur the wrath of an authority figure. It's important to stand firm with this character or this person will continue to take advantage of you. Every once in a while, you've got to roar in order to retain your dominance. If that means making a few enemies along the way, so be it.

It may be time to cut ties with an organisation that is no longer fulfilling your interests. This may seem self serving to some, but it's actually a matter of survival. You've never been a hypocrite and have no intention of becoming one now. A child or lover may be bewildered by your behaviour. Give them a chance to calm down, and then sit down and talk about your decision. It's a sad truth that your actions have unintended consequences on the ones you love.

A changing of the guard at work could leave you out in the cold. Trying to win favour with a temperamental authority figure will be an exercise in futility. It's better to find another venue for your talent. Just because your job prospects are questionable doesn't mean your home life has to be adversely affected. Do your best to put a good face on the situation, lest you upset a relative or child. Exhibiting grace under fire is your main responsibility now.

You're tired of being told you don't know what you're talking about. This is one of those times when your modest attitude works against you. While people with less experience and knowledge are tooting their own horns, you're busy producing great work in the shadows. Take this opportunity to set the record straight with someone who is always bragging about their accomplishments. This person will be astonished to discover your level of expertise. Stop hiding your light under a bushel.

An intimate relationship may have become too close for comfort. You're not sure if you're willing to join your finances with those of your partner. This all boils down to issues about power and control. You don't like having to answer to someone else. Unfortunately, this is an essential component to any relationship. If you want to have this person in your life, you need to put your needs aside, at least when it comes to major purchases. In return, you'll receive both financial and emotional support.

You've been preoccupied with personal matters, but that's all about to change. A close friend, lover, or business contact is crying out for your help. It may be necessary to cancel an appointment for this person's sake. Although you really resent being called away from this project, you need to adopt a mature attitude. Life involves emergencies. By rising to the occasion, instead of continuing on your own way, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for your loved ones.

A health matter has become too pressing to ignore. You're going to have to scale back certain activities if you're going to stay fit. Breaking a bad habit could be in the cards. If you're not sure how to proceed, join a support group. Talking about your problem with people who have experienced similar difficulties will prove invaluable. You've got to realise you're not alone in this situation. Keep your recovery a secret from people who will mock you.

The needs of a lover or child come to the forefront. You've been spending a lot of time with friends and it's really wearing on this relationship. Sometimes, you can't help but wish you were a free agent. That's perfectly natural. When these feelings start to consume you, make a list of all the wonderful things your loved ones bring to your life. Would you really be willing to sacrifice these gifts for the sake of selfish whims? Think twice before you answer.
