Taking an intensive course will be more demanding than you expect. There won't be much time for romantic or leisurely pursuits.

You'll have to compete with colleagues for a plum assignment. Although you may be the most capable person to perform this job, it may not be automatically given to you.

You face some competition on the romantic front. Don't take your partner for granted. The more appreciative you are, the stronger your relationship will be.

Remember that romance is like a delicate plant. If you neglect it, your love will wilt.

Dealing with residual anger from childhood is important. It's not fair to vent your rage at an innocent bystander. If you have difficulty dealing with a certain kind of work style, say so.

It's time to confront someone who continually provokes you. You don't find their nasty remarks cute or funny. Tell this pest you won't tolerate their nonsense. Be clear and firm.

Unfortunately, people like this are always trying to irritate others. It's the only way they can get attention. They would be pitiful if they weren't so annoying.

There's no reason you should feel guilty about treating yourself. You've earned a little luxury.
