You're not worried about causing a commotion. When you see something unfair, you will speak up and make a fuss. Meek members of your social circle are upset by your behaviour, but don't let that stop you from doing what's right. Sitting silently by while someone is being abused is wrong. You can make a difference by challenging someone who is abusing their power. Bullies usually back down when light is shed on their terrible behaviour. Make it clear you won't tolerate their tyranny.

Patience and persistence pay off, but not in the ways you expect. A jealous rival will spread a nasty rumour about you. Instead of getting defensive, continue to focus on work. Refusing to take the bait will ease people's suspicions. Soon, everyone will realise you've been the victim of a smear campaign. In the meantime, continue to mix with an offbeat group of people who aren't worried about public perceptions. Friends encourage creative thought and celebrate imaginative contributions.

A tendency to think before you speak will get you in trouble. It's hard to contain yourself with a difficult client or customer. By maintaining a dignified silence, you'll earn the respect of both your superiors and peers. It's important to find an outlet for these stressful encounters. Playing sports can bring relief from stress. You'll find swimming especially therapeutic. Learning how to manage stress in your professional life will make your relationships more rewarding.

You've got a retentive memory that comes in handy. Someone who helped you in the past will come to your rescue again. Don't hesitate to reach out to a relative or teacher who was kind to you as a child. Talking with this individual will be enlightening. At last, you'll be able to move past a stubborn block that has kept you from getting ahead. Pursuing your dream job won't seem nearly as difficult. Instead of seeking other people's approval, you'll begin trusting your own instincts.

Don't overestimate your importance. If you're going to get ahead, you must form alliances. Reach out to someone who seems to be your polar opposite. Their ability to view things objectively will keep you from making serious mistakes. Although your passionate approach is admirable, it can cause you to become prey to manipulators. Instead of questioning someone's version of the facts, you often trust their story. A sceptical partner will alert you to manipulators.

Don't rely too heavily on others. If someone seems reluctant to help, shoulder a project yourself. You're the most capable person in your organisation. A lack of experience should not deter you from accepting a challenge. When you're not sure how to carry out some task, check the Internet. A simple instructional video will be informative. Is funding a problem? Apply for a grant or government loan. Don't be too restrained when making requests for money.

You're determined to get some work done, despite being surrounded by chaos. A lack of resources won't stop you from developing solutions to stubborn problems. Someone who admires your ingenuity will offer to collaborate on an important project. You'll welcome the help. Ignore friends who try to lure you away from your labours. The best way for you to get ahead is to stay focused on your goals. While everyone else remains stuck, you'll be sailing into a rewarding future.

Taking care of others gives you great pleasure. Take this opportunity to cook someone a special meal or run errands on their behalf. When you're generous with others, you become more forgiving towards yourself. A jealous romantic partner should be put in their place. You resent being suspected of underhanded activity. Unless your amour can give you the benefit of the doubt, you should break things off. Staying with a possessive person can be dangerous.

The ability to adapt has always served you well. While others complain when subjected to the slightest change, you will roll with the punches. Some people are jealous of your versatility. They mock your efforts to move with the times. The next time a colleague pokes fun at your thirst for knowledge, tell them what you think of their narrow minded ways. Being understanding grows tiresome when nobody extends the same courtesy. Challenge those who distain your values.

Your sensual side is very strong. Satisfy it with some delicious food, fragrant flowers or tactile fabric. You don't have to spend a lot of money to be happy. Simply pause to enjoy a meal, scent or sensation. Tune out distractions that make life stressful. Turn off your mobile for a few hours so you can hear your own thoughts. An impatient authority figure will pressure you to work faster and harder. Do not give in to these demands. You'll produce admirable work in your own time.

You're in an adventurous mood and won't be deterred by obstacles. Unfortunately, your best friend or romantic partner is in a cautious mood. They'll resist your efforts to venture in new direction. Your family is similarly conservative. It's frustrating to be surrounded by so many naysayers, but you'll continue to march to the beat of your own drum. Learning a foreign language or taking up a musical instrument will be a time consuming challenge that yields fabulous rewards.

You are even more sensitive than usual, so beware of the company you keep. Stay away from a colleague who always wants something for nothing. You have more important things to do than waste time with this manipulator. Working your way up the ladder to success is possible, so long as you stay focused on your goals. Increasing productivity, bringing valuable skills to the table and contributing valuable insight are all ways to get noticed. Stop worrying about fitting in with the crowd.
