A romantic squabble will cause you to reconsider whether this relationship is worth the trouble. You're a fairly easy going person. When expected to compromise your ideals, you get defensive. It's easy for you to cope with a difference of opinion, but you're not going to adopt a whole different value system to please someone else. If you're in a committed relationship, you may get into an argument about how a child is being raised. Talking with a counsellor can be helpful.

Big changes are happening on the domestic front and you won't be able to stop them. The best you can do is work with the alternations that are being imposed on you. An elderly relative may need a more advanced level of care. A youngster could require specialised help. It's even possible you will have to relocate for work. At first, this move will be upsetting. You'll feel a strong impulse to lash out at those who are trying to help. Find a physical outlet for your frustration.

A deal with a relative or neighbour will hit a snag. Neither one of you has the expertise to surmount this difficulty, so it's best to just cancel it. The last thing you want is to harm a good relationship over a matter of business. Communication difficulties abound. Try not to take casual remarks personally. Everybody is walking on eggshells, so the slightest irritant feels incredibly abrasive. Don't sign a contract or official papers, even if it means paying a late penalty.

An unexpected expense will shake your financial foundation. Instead of panicking, take deep breaths and focus on an image or memory that fills you with peace. It will be much easier to meet the challenges ahead if you're calm. Although you'll have to scramble to make ends meet, you will find a way to meet this obligation. Although your desire to pay your debts is admirable, it's important to remember there are more valuable things in life than money. Lean on loved ones for support.

You realise that your needs are not being met by loved ones. If you're going to be happy, you must be more aggressive about getting what you want. Don't wait for a convenient time; just set the ball in motion. Some relatives and friends will complain, but it can't be helped. You're always coming to their aid. This time, they'll have to wait for your assistance, since you have bigger fish to fry. Anyone who dares complain needs a reality check.

A health matter must be addressed. Stop putting mundane chores ahead of your well-being. Make an appointment with a medical professional, even if it means taking time off work. It will be necessary to change some habits to recover. Although the prospect of avoiding certain foods doesn't thrill you, it's important to follow instructions. Similarly, you should get more sleep and take more exercise to achieve wellness. If that means forging taxing chores and toxic relationships, so be it.

Friends don't approve of your romantic partner, which is causing tremendous stress. You're not sure who to defend, since your loyalties are divided. Instead of siding with one party or another, take some time alone to think about the problem. It's possible that your social circle is jealous of your newfound happiness. Alternatively, there may be things about your amour that raise red flags. Be honest in your assessment. Once you've made an objective decision, a path will open.

A change involving your career will be stressful. You're happy where you are and have no intention of switching roles. Unfortunately, this will not be an option. Someone will quit or new technology will require everyone to adjust. If the thought of undergoing such a radical transformation really upsets you, it's time to look elsewhere for employment. These kind of upheavals are designed to shake you out of a sense of complacency. You will be much happier when you change gear.

Legal matters might not go your way. Instead of trying to swim against the tide, it's better to operate within the strict confines you've been given. Trying to get around the rules will result in disaster. Resist the temptation to make a scene or demand special favours. Everyone is in the same boat. You'll make more allies by commiserating with your peers. Eventually, you'll be able to wrap up this project. You won't be thrilled by the results, but at least you can move on to greener pastures.

A friend will invite you to an outing that's very expensive. Don't be shy about declining this invitation. If asked why you won't attend, be honest. There's no reason you should feel compelled to spend money you don't have. Even if you're given a free ticket or accommodation, this event will still put a strain on your budget. Conserve your resources for an upcoming expense. You hate missing the fun, but you'll sleep better when you're on secure financial ground.

Unexpected news about a partner, manager or agent will throw you for a loop. It will be difficult to find common ground. Instead of forcing a solution, make a strategic retreat. One or both of you may decide it's no longer worth it to stay together. Resist the temptation to hurl bitter recriminations at one another. There is lots of work ahead. You can fulfil all your responsibilities by conserving your energy and adopting a positive attitude. This, too, shall pass.

Problems with a colleague can reach boiling point. You could get word from your boss that a project wasn't completed properly under their watch. You may be the only one available to fix the situation. Nothing makes you angrier than thoughtless behaviour like this. Unless some changes are made, you may be forced to find another position. You can't be expected to do somebody else's job in addition to your own. Start planning how you can escape this mess.
