As tempting as it might be, retail therapy will not solve your problems. In fact it could add to them and you don't want to go broke in the process. You're inclined to indulge in fabulous luxuries and expensive entertainment but this is not where true happiness lies. Listen to uplifting music or curl up with a good book and indulge in some imaginative escapism.

A friend is expecting too much from you especially when they seem to have no intention to give anything to this relationship. You can't keep on giving without receiving anything in return. Don't feel guilty if you're growing tired of this friendship. In fact, it's alright to feel that enough is enough.

Information you discover will draw your attention to a situation you had not been previously aware of. It isn't that you were digging up hidden information or looking to find out someone else's secrets. The way this has come about will come as a complete surprise and ow you want to get to the bottom of what is going on.

The course of a romantic relationship can only be described as bumpy. Your desire to be together is overshadowed by the presence of someone you can't seem to get rid of. It may be a needy relative, overly demanding boss or clinging friend but what's needed now is to find some time alone.

You can rely on your own efforts to get things done. Friends and colleagues may not be very supportive. This can be disappointing when you expected a task you've taken on to be fairly straightforward only it has turned out to be surprisingly complicated. You could do with help but you can also do this on your own.

You aren't content with answers people are giving you when you feel there is more you aren't being told about. Something isn't quite right. You want to find out more and even hitting a dead end won't stop your curiosity. You will retrace your steps and try again. Steady persistence will pay off.

Disagreements over who does what and when only creates tension and anxiety. Conflict over how to approach a task makes it seem more difficult than it actually is. You wonder if you can trust logical analysis when others are suggesting methods that don't make a lot of sense to you. It might help to tackle this on your own.

Any kind of impulsive actions could be regretted later. Aggravation and frustration connected with your usual routines makes you want to just turn your back on it all. This wouldn't be a good idea. Pour excess energy instead into an exercise or sporting pursuit or think about going away for a few days in February.

It's a testing time for a close relationship. A partner does not understand how responsible you feel to someone who was a big part of your life in the past. In addition to this if you're taking on more responsibility for a partner who is weaker than you, this will start to take its toll on your health.

Other people may be secretive about their plans but all this is doing is causing tension in relationships. You will prefer to be direct about your wishes and open about your feelings. You can see how deception has been and is causing complications. The more honesty, the happier everyone will be.

You are ready to take steps to improve your current circumstances. You have put a lot of thought into this. You have considered all the options and it is time to make a move. This is your chance to take the initiative with the hope of making something of your life.

You feel you are getting nowhere in a situation where opinions differ considerably. You're tired of all the arguing. If you want this relationship to continue, extend an olive branch. Constant bickering will drive the pair of you apart. If this is a work relationship, you might prefer to keep a friend than make them an enemy.
