You hate it when people try to rain on your parade. Unfortunately, the weekend is over and you have to return to work. Shirking your responsibilities will just cause problems for colleagues. Fulfil your obligations as quickly as possible. Then use your leisure time to play your favourite sport. As a Fire sign, you need lots of physical activity to stay balanced. Sitting behind a desk all day makes you tired and irritable. A passive aggressive friend will try to impose on you. Be ready to set a boundary.

A pushy relative is getting on your nerves. There's a good chance their behaviour is designed to wear you down. Do everything in your power to stay calm. Throwing money at the problem will only compound it. Career matters are also creating anxiety. It's hard to anticipate a moody employer's needs. Instead of pitching a series of ideas, ask for direction. That way, you won't put yourself in the path of rejection. Avoid a trying customer like the plague.

Don't argue with a respected expert. You may have different ideas about how to approach work, but it's immaterial. This is an opportunity to learn a new way to do things. By putting your assumptions aside, you'll acquire some valuable skills. Remain calm of a phone, car or computer malfunction. You'll find a temporary solution while repairs are being performed. Being forced to slow down is actually a blessing in disguise. If you keep going at this breakneck pace, you'll burn out.

Preoccupation with material concerns is making you unhappy. Instead of brooding over your financial situation, shift your focus. Doing some volunteer work will make you conscious of how lucky you truly are. Choose a cause that is close to your heart. Beware of getting involved with another volunteer. You will be attracted to a cool rebel, but the two of you aren't a good match. Hold out for someone with more traditional values. You need a partner who also values relationships.

Don't let your temper get away from you. Dealing with a romantic or business partner will be frustrating. If you feel your anger starting to rise, remove yourself from the conflict. Take time to breathe deep and reflect on the situation. It will be easier to calm down when you're alone. Something about your comrade makes you see red. This is a sign that the two of you need to develop strategies to stay in each other's good graces. Compromise and consensus are the keys to success.

It's important to find an outlet for repressed anger. Although you won't be able to confront the source of your rage, you can release it in healthy ways. Launching a creative project will be great for you. You're gifted with your hands and may enjoy carpentry, baking or gardening. Sports can also help blow off steam. You enjoy games that require quick reflexes, like tennis, squash and racquetball. Don't worry if it's been years since you've enjoyed such activities. You'll pick things up quickly again.

You're not happy with the status quo. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do to change the situation. You'll have to play the game, even if you disagree with the rules. There will be a change of regime. Until then, keep your head down and stay out of trouble. Establishing yourself as a team player will put you in a good position. The next team of experts will recognise your talent and offer you a prime position. Getting paid to exercise your creativity will be refreshing.

You are determined to get things done. Pushing people too hard will end in disaster. Adopt a gentler stance. Tempers are running high and people have a tendency to snap. If you're not satisfied with someone's progress, give them the benefit of your worldly wisdom. Be as specific as possible about what you want. Take care to find something to praise with every submission. Eventually, you will get what you want. It will take time, but that's better than letting things fall apart.

Arguing over religion and politics is futile. You won't change anyone else's mind, so why bother? You're an ethical person who feels strongly about social issues. It's hard to respect people who don't share your beliefs. Until you become more open minded, it will be difficult to formulate important professional relationships. If you're going to succeed in your career, you'll have to be a little more tolerant. Studying different beliefs can be helpful. The more you know, the more secure you will be.

At some point, you have to back out of a troubled relationship. Although the object of your affection arouses your passion, the two of you aren't a good fit. At first, all the drama and emotion were exciting. Now they are exhausting. You have better things to do with your time than engaging in constant power struggles. Are you single? It may be because your intensity is scaring off admirers. Take a light hearted approach to dating. This will give a chance for true love to take blossom.

Curb your sense of competition. You need to work with a partner, not behave like a rival. Joining forces will allow you to produce twice the amount of work you normally perform. You're good at dealing with the big picture while your collaborator is better at public relations. In truth, you are tired of dealing with difficult clients. Handing these duties to someone else will be a huge relief. This isn't a good time to sign a contract. You're bound to contest this agreement later.

Don't overdo it at the gym. You run the risk of pulling a muscle or incurring an injury. Slow, gentle movements are the way to go. Activities like swimming and yoga are strongly advised. If you're suffering from a headache or stomach pains, clear your schedule. You need time to rest, relax and rejuvenate. Are you frustrated with your job? Resist the urge to quit. Riding out this storm is better than being out of work. It's always easier to find a position when you have one.
