Your priorities are very different from those of a loved one. You prefer living in the moment, while your friend likes planning for the future. As a result, it's hard for you to agree about money. You'd rather enjoy your income while you have it, whereas your partner wants to put funds away for a rainy day. Have a heart to heart conversation about your needs. A compromise is possible, as long as you treat each other with respect. Resist the temptation to denigrate each other's attitudes.

It feels like your best friend or romantic partner is wilfully misunderstanding you. Instead of pressing your point, make a strategic retreat. Focus on a project that gives you lots of happiness. Eventually, your loved one will get nervous and try to get back into your good graces. At that point, you can make your proposal again. Be honest about what this opportunity means to you. Your heartfelt appeal will eventually hit its mark. This is one of those times when persistence pays off.

You are intensely focused on work. A demanding project is commanding all your attention. There isn't much time for social pursuits and hobbies. Friends are starting to wonder whether you'll ever see them again. Adopt a healthier balance. Instead of putting in long hours at the office, you should leave at a reasonable hour. Enjoy a healthy dinner and enjoy some leisure time with friends. Slowly but surely, your obsession with your job will wane and you'll stop losing sleep over it.

A charismatic leader will develop a crush on you. While their attention is flattering, you may not be willing to get seriously involved. Be polite but firm about turning them down. It's especially important to keep an old friendship platonic. If you're already in a relationship, your partner will be very jealous of your admirer. Be honest about where your affections truly lay. You have no intention of jeopardising a rewarding romance for the sake of a casual flirtation.

Don't let a desire to protect your family cause you to become too smothering. By demonstrating faith in a relative's judgment, you'll cause their confidence to soar. Making mistakes is part of the learning process. If someone you love makes a terrible error, resist the urge to come to their rescue. Encourage them to solve this dilemma on their own. You'll be surprised how resourceful they are. Breathe through the tension and expect everything will turn out fine.

You're determined to get some privileged information. Don't be discouraged if an official denies your request. Ask an influential friend to act on your behalf. They'll be able to obtain the paperwork you need. Setting the record straight will probably cause quite a stir in your community. That's why it's important to double check your facts before publishing this piece. When you're confident your report is accurate, show it to the world. People deserve to know the truth about decisions affecting them.

Talking about your finances makes you uncomfortable. If someone wants to know how much you make, tell them it's none of their business. It goes against your nature to be rude, but there are some subjects that are taboo to you. You've always hated the idea that a person's worth is reflected by their pay. Many of your friends don't earn a big salary but contribute invaluable benefits to society. Are you looking for work? Think about launching a business from home.

Your powerful personality attracts admirers at every turn. This is a great time to go to a party. If you're looking for love, you'll find it with someone who has fantastic bone structure. Do you already have a partner? Don't waste time quibbling over things that don't matter. Instead, do your best to show your appreciation for your amour, both through loving words and kind gestures. Too often, you keep your feelings to yourself. Your relationship will benefit from a warm show of affection.

Resist the temptation to discuss sensitive subjects like religion and politics in public. You don't want to offend someone with delicate sensibilities. Although you have tremendous respect for others' beliefs, few people share your open minded attitude. By sticking to uncontroversial subjects like books, movies and music, you'll be fine. You can discuss deeper issues with your inner circle. It feels good to let down your guard with people who won't judge you for thinking differently.

A powerful friend will be happy to help you. Don't hesitate to ask for their assistance. It's difficult for a self-sufficient person to reach out to others. Stop letting foolish pride get in the way of your advancement. Using your connections to get a job will save a lot of time, money and aggravation. Fortunately, you're extremely talented. Once your employer sees how gifted you truly are, you will quickly rise up the ladder to success. Thank your reference for putting in a good word for you.

You're determined to achieve career success. Unfortunately, your family isn't very supportive of your dreams. They're constantly telling you to lower your expectations. This is terrible advice for someone with your ability. An intelligent visionary like you is capable of reaching great heights. Keep your plans secret and continue expanding your knowledge, gathering experience and seeking professional advancement. Things will work in your favour, as long as you are patient and persistent.

An urge to travel can be satisfied, as long as you make preparations. Begin a savings fund for a dream trip. Don't tell anyone else about your plan. The last thing you want is for cautious friends to discourage you from this journey. You've always been curious and flexible. The prospect of traveling to an unknown destination fills you with excitement. Your loved ones are less adventurous. That's why they often warn you against taking risks.
