Obey your principles when it comes to dealing with an awkward social situation. A friend who behaved badly is undergoing a breakup. Don't defend their actions. Be honest about your feelings. It's important for your loved one to know where you stand. There's no point bad mouthing their former partner, since they're completely innocent. Many people in your circle will secretly agree with you. Privately, they'll express admiration for your courageous stance.

Uncovering a secret will be empowering. It's been difficult trying to find your way out of a dark situation. Once you know the facts, you'll be able to make some intelligent decisions. An authority figure who has been abusing their power could go giving you a chance to take their place. Although you don't enjoy the prospect of having more responsibilities, you will gain satisfaction from a fresh start. Rally the troops to rescue a project that has been suffering from neglect.

Make a sacrifice for a loved one. You're very good at multitasking. Taking some responsibilities off a busy person's plate will strengthen your bond. You're happy to be of service, so long as your efforts are appreciated. If you feel like your efforts are ignored, speak up. It's important to be recognised for your contributions. The fastest way to end a relationship is to neglect one another. Fortunately, you've become an expert at picking good friends who treat you well.

Being of service to others can be a blessing and a curse. Although you enjoy being helpful, it can be difficult being pulled in several different directions at once. It's critical to establish healthy boundaries. Just because you like someone doesn't mean you are obligated to come to their rescue all the time. When a demanding person becomes unbearable, put your foot down. Insist on some breathing room. Don't feel guilty about turning down requests for help.

Expressing your creativity is important. Stop telling yourself it's impossible to get ahead in the arts. You could have a very successful job in a creative field, provided you take a chance. Leave a dead end position for a more exiting field. Getting paid to write, design or make things with your hands will be empowering. It will also change your relationship to work. Instead of seeing it as a necessary evil, you will experience labour as a rewarding way of life.

Spending time at home will cultivate contentment. You're tired of running errands all day. Take this opportunity to put your feet up and let your hair down. If you live with relatives, prepare an elaborate dinner with your nearest and dearest. Making your speciality brings out the best in you. Do you have to endure a long commute? Think about moving closer to your job. The time you save will be invaluable. Having an extra hour of leisure each day will be incredibly restful.

Improving the lines of communication is critical. You're tired of flare ups occurring because someone forgot to send an e-mail. By creating some check in procedures, the office drama will subside. People will start being nice to each other again. Best of all, everyone will be able to dispatch their duties quickly and efficiently. One or two people will try to buck the system. By taking them to task in a public forum, they will return to the fold, albeit reluctantly.

You have a chance to secure an additional source of income. Instead of spending this money on luxuries, put it into a savings account or even a pension plan. Having cash in reserve will give you a greater measure of power. Instead of having to take stressful jobs to pay the bills, you can be more discerning. Your relationships will also improve. You won't have to stay in toxic household out of economic necessity. Treat this nest egg as an investment in your happiness.

Your dreams are undergoing changes. The goals you once pursued now seem meaningless. Don't let this bother you. You can always build a new dream. It's only natural your interests have evolved. If you want to become more adept at technology, take a computer course. Knowing how to design your own website or conduct an online business will be a welcome challenge. If you play your cards right, you will become an expert in this field.

If you didn't have a chance to develop your artistic ability, you have one now. Rearrange your schedule so you can study with a respected master. It isn't necessary to tell everybody about your course of study. You might get more enjoyment from this adventure if it is kept a secret. Learning to trust your instincts is critical to your success. This is difficult for you, as you prefer following directions. When it comes to creativity, intuition is more valuable than rules.

Try not to get immersed in bad news. Although modern life can be bleak, there is also a lot of positive energy being generated. People who are working hard to make the world a better place rarely get much publicity. A good way to shift your focus is to get involved with a charitable organisation. The simple act of working with people who are similarly philanthropic will be inspiring. Resist the temptation to turn your back on humanity. Most people are kind and caring.

Exerting control from behind the scenes keeps you out of trouble. Resist the temptation to make a public power grab. Instead, quietly make friends and gather information. Acquiring valuable skills will increase your importance. If you're the only one who knows how to perform certain tasks, you will be treated with deference. Trouble arises when someone draws attention to themselves. Egotists never fail to make enemies and attract resentment.
