You don't feel secure unless you know as much about a subject as possible. If you're in the dark about managing finances, operating a computer or current events, take a course. Look for a popular teacher who is highly recommended by students. An intimate relationship will improve when you become more confident in your abilities. It's much easier for you to be generous and light-hearted when you feel you are standing on solid ground. Are you single? You could find love with one of your classmates.

If you want to improve your income, you must increase your knowledge. The more practical skills you possess, the easier it will be to land a lucrative job that you really enjoy. The important thing is not to be a one trick pony. Feeling forced to care for someone else will create deep resentment. Forgive your loved one for putting so many demands on your time. Redefine the terms of your relationship so it works better for you. Give things that are a natural extension of your generous personality.

You're very assertive about your needs. When you sense someone cannot or will not give what you want, you're tempted to leave. Instead of obeying this impulse, try talking through the conflict. You may be putting unfair demands on loved ones. If you're being pushed to try something on your own, go for it. You're much more capable than you realise. Although your first attempt won't be successful, a subsequent one will be. You've always been a fast learner.

It feels like you've been thrust into the background. Getting the fame and acclaim you desire will be difficult from this position. Take this opportunity to draw attention to your contributions. Self-promotion doesn't come naturally to you, but you will get used to it. Let go of standards of perfection. Whether you're trying to improve your health or land a promotion, you must offer yourself lots of gentle encouragement. Continual self-criticism will undermine your progress. Any time you have a setback, praise yourself for trying.

A friendship may have run its course. You don't experience a great deal of affection from someone who is always focused on the big picture. Instead of hoping things will change, take the initiative. Break things off quickly and quietly. You need to be supported by people who are as warm and generous as you. Cool rebels may have attracted your attention in the past, but you're starting to realise how little they can give. Surround yourself with friends who continually express their adoration through words and actions.

Don't derive all your self-worth from your career. While it's rewarding to have a job that you like, it shouldn't define you. You've been blessed with a sharp mind and a deep curiosity for life. When your career isn't thriving, you can still be happy. Having a secure home base is becoming increasingly important. Look for a place that feels like a haven from public life. You may choose to decorate with exotic artwork from around the world.

You're eager to explore greener pastures. Before booking a long-distance trip, attend to mundane responsibilities at home. Finishing chores will make you more relaxed about leaving home. Make a detailed list of instructions for a friend who can hold down the fort while you're away. Before signing up for a course, check to see that you have enough time to focus on studies. Although you're a good student, it will take a great deal of concentration and dedication to absorb this information.

It's difficult for you to trust someone because of a past betrayal. Instead of dwelling on the old days, use the power of the current moment. You are not doomed to repeat history. You've learned a lot; use this knowledge to build a happier life. Beware of a tendency to hover over someone who has been struggling. By showing your faith in their abilities, you'll cause their confidence to soar. You may not realise it, but your opinion means a great deal to this friend.

The faster you stand on your own two feet, the happier you will be. Although you may have a partner who is supportive and understanding, you should make every effort to know how to perform the jobs they traditionally do. Similarly, it's wise to train your other half how to fill your role. Keeping a list of each other's passwords handy will also make it much easier to deal with emergencies. Give each other the necessary tools to operate independently.

You're not happy unless you are busy. Learning to enjoy more leisure time is critical to your health. Rather than making up tasks for yourself to perform, get used to having fun. Listening to music, communing with nature and cuddling pets will be therapeutic. It's time to draw the line with someone who has become dependent on you. There's no reason you should be responsible for their problems. By drawing healthier boundaries, you'll have a chance to attend to your own pressing needs.

Don't panic when the spotlight isn't on you. Give a loved one a chance to enjoy some fame and acclaim. Show appreciation for their achievements and don't make the situation all about you. Being generous with praise will strengthen your bond. Friends are trying to make you reliant on them for support. This doesn't sit well with an independent person like you. Take this opportunity to strike out on your own. Even if you miss the mark, you'll be justifiably proud of your efforts.

You can't meet the needs of others until you attend to your own desires. There's nothing selfish about going after your dreams. Anyone who asks you to abandon plans on their behalf is being manipulative. Don't fall victim to a guilt trip. Being confined to the role of a caretaker will feel oppressive. Use this opportunity to apply for a role with more responsibility. You'll enjoy getting paid to expand people's horizons through travel, education or publishing. Emphasise your ability to work with all kinds of people during interviews.
