Following a whim could prompt you to forget your responsibilities. Your desire for adventure is understandable, but now is not the time to drop everything and run. Your colleagues are depending on you to deliver certain materials before a certain time. If you drop the ball, you could lose their respect forever. If you want to mix things up, schedule a fun outing on your day off. Even a maverick like you has to follow the rules at least as far as today is concerned.

A treacherous friend could show their true colours today. Don't let them manipulate you into sacrificing something precious. If push comes to shove, you need to cut them right out of your life. Don't answer their phone calls, emails, or text messages. At times like this, it's tempting to blame yourself for being naive. Stop being so hard on yourself. The person in question has made a career of taking advantage of others. You are just one of their many victims.

Erratic behaviour could get you in trouble at work. This isn't the best time to deal with the public. If it's possible, try operating behind the scenes or you could offend somebody with an irreverent remark. Domestic responsibilities could be making you restless. Going out for a night on the town could be a welcome change of pace. Head out with a fun loving friend who always makes you laugh. They'll help you to see the positive side of your situation.

Someone who claims to have a simple solution to a difficult problem should be avoided. If you're going to conquer this demon, it will take hard work and dedication. Sounds boring, but it's true. Yes, the person who is trying to sell this idea is undeniably attractive and charismatic. After scratching the surface of their claims, though, you'll see they are really deceptive. Intervene if a relative or neighbour has come under the influence of someone shady.

Running up big bills will get you in lots of trouble. If you are already swimming in debt, you need to contact a money manager. Be ready to create consolidate your bills and pay them off in steady increments. This will involve a prolonged period of sacrifice, but the rewards will be worth it. Becoming financially independent will give you a renewed appreciation for the small blessings you enjoy on a daily basis. Money doesn't buy happiness. It sounds cliche, but it's true.

You could be held responsible for something that isn't your fault. Before lashing out at your critics, take a deep breath. Assess the situation as objectively as you can, and address their accusations point by point. Resist the urge to engage in personal attacks. If people see you're staying calm under fire, they'll be more prone to listen to your remarks. Your good character is also in your favour. After looking at your record, people will stop making such irresponsible accusations.

It's hard to buckle down at work, but it's absolutely necessary. If you don't get the bare minimum done today, you'll be in deep trouble next week. If you are looking for work, this isn't the best time to go on job interviews. Postpone such meetings for later in the month, when you'll be more confident. Right now, you're consumed with doubt. It's not because you lack the essential skills to succeed. It's just because you're not getting lots of positive feedback.

Straying from the straight and narrow could get you in lots of trouble. If you're in a committed relationship that has grown stale, you owe it to yourself to work on it. Go to couple's counselling. Be willing to change your ways. Ask your amour what you can do to make your relationship better. At first, your partner may not be receptive to these overtures. If you're persistent, though, they'll begin to soften and eventually, they'll work with you.

You're tired of being told you are immature and irresponsible. While it's true your critics are a little old fashioned, they may be right about your behaviour. People will be more apt to respect your decisions if you are willing to correct your mistakes. Instead of borrowing money for your latest schemes, earn it yourself. When something goes wrong, take another approach. Try building bridges with people who disagree with you. Above all, maintain a positive attitude.

Suppressing your values for the sake of a job could be a mistake. You need to tell the truth to someone in power. Many people agree with you; it's just they are afraid to voice their opinion. You're tired of being implicated in decisions which go against your principles. If you are forced to leave your job, you can find another with relative ease. Explore opportunities related to radio, television, or computers. Your leadership skills will be well received in such industries.

A desire for independence could cause you to make a hasty decision. Right now, team efforts are the only ones that will succeed. Going your own way could prompt you to lose money, work, and respect. Stick with your current circumstances. Although the situation is annoying, it will give you lots of experience. You'll also learn how to work with people from all walks of life. Eventually, you'll be able to launch your own venture but now is not the time.

Engaging in eccentric behaviour could alienate you from the crowd. It's more important to fit in than make your mark on the world. Keep any strange hobbies or obsessions a secret, at least from casual acquaintances. You'll know which people you can trust in a few months. This doesn't mean you have to be a hypocrite. It just means you have to be a little more secretive about your quirks. Pretend as though you are an investigative reporter.
