It's nigh on impossible for you to leave security behind for the sake of doing something new that would be good for you. You're not fond of socializing today, especially when you already have such good friends. However, by giving yourself a wee push you may come in contact with some folks who share some emerging interests. By not giving these people a chance, you're in essence limiting your own growth.

Chances are your pal is just distressed that you have shifted your focus away from them. Although this behaviour is selfish, it is understandable. Nobody likes feeling neglected.

A future venture you have in mind needs a more realistic approach if you're to see its true potential. You're more qualified than most to assume certain responsibilities, but you'd rather keep a low profile. Devoting your energies to other people's problems can make you feel drained and exhausted. Do something for your own amusement for a change. Even a nurturing person has to put a limit on providing selfless services.

A career opening is blocked to you, once you find out why you can work on improving what's missing. People have a tendency to downplay the importance of creativity in all of our lives.

Deceit, even betrayal play a part in your life; if it's you, there's a price to pay, if not, be vigilant. Even though you're eager to take advantage of some offered resources, your intuition tells you to hold back. That's because there are strings attached to these favours.

Pouring some of your passion into a relationship isn't a bad idea. You need to let your emotions out somehow.

Check your home for faults that could cause an inconvenience of safety hazard of one kind or another. Even though you pride yourself on a strong intellect, your emotions can get the best of you.

Consider this to be your special lesson in life. Be honest in your communications with young people. This will better serve them than ostentatious lies.
