Blurting out a secret could get you in trouble with a neighbour or sibling. Take extra pains to protect this person's confidence or your relationship could be permanently damaged. Problems with a large bureaucracy could put you in a bad mood. It's hard to relax when you've got this issue looming over your head. A contested bill, a lost piece of paperwork, or an unfair ruling is wreaking havoc with your schedule.

Try not to overdo it in the luxury department. Steer clear of expensive stores with tempting merchandise in the window. 'Out of sight, out of mind' should be today's motto. Turning a friendship into a romance could spell trouble. The two of you are better off as compatriots than lovers. If you do decide to cross the platonic line, you may never be able to go back again. Work out whether a few hours of pleasure is worth the risk.

Self indulgence could land you in hot water. You need to think about the consequences of an expensive holiday or time consuming love affair. A child, friend, or relative could suffer from neglect. Your professional reputation could take a few hits, too. It's hard to concentrate on your job when there are so many distractions. Although it pains you to do so, you'll have to choose responsibility over fun. Never fear; there will soon be other chances to enjoy romance and adventure.

A bad habit could be preventing you from reaching your full potential. You need to nip this problem in the bud before it does any more damage to your life. Getting professional help is essential. Do some online research into services in your area. Don't be too quick to put yourself in the hands of someone who has an impressive reputation. This person's intensity may not suit you. You need someone who will treat you with care, compassion, and kindness.

Friends could be a bad influence on you. Turn a deaf ear to people who want you to spend your hard earned money on senseless luxuries. You need these funds for something more important, like a college education or retirement fund. Although saving for these things is a bore, you'll be glad you made the sacrifice in a few years' time. In the meantime, a sexual relationship is showing signs of strain. Getting some distance from your lover is the only way to retain your independence.

Your reputation could take a few hits today. Maybe it's because your boss thinks you care more about your personal life than your professional one. This is actually a good thing, but you need to hide this fact from your employer. When you're on the job, you need to pour your heart and soul into your work. Then, when the whistle blows, you can go back to your beloved with a clear conscience. These days, everybody needs to strike a similar balance.

Pretending to agree with someone's beliefs just for the sake of harmony is a mistake. You need to assert your own ideas in a firm but polite way or your friend will think you have formed a united front. You're not the type who enjoys discussing such matters in public, anyway. The next time somebody brings up religion or politics at work change the subject or you could find yourself in the middle of a heated battle.

Jumping into a physical relationship isn't the wisest idea. The object of your affection is extremely attractive, but may not be the best partner for you. Think carefully before getting entangled in this person's life. A child's erratic behaviour suggests you need to be spending more quality time together. Put romance on the back burner until this relationship is restored. If you don't have a child, your creativity may be suffering from all the drama in your personal life.

Your family could be a source of upheaval today. You may spend most of your time coping with a relative who is angry, depressed, or manic. This situation is taking a toll on your love life. It's hard to focus on your amour when you're always worrying about the home front. At some point, you need to make a decision about what is more important. Don't feel guilty about choosing personal happiness over family loyalty.

It's hard to stay focused on a single task. You're better off juggling several duties at once. That way, once your mind starts to wander, you can refocus it on something new. Avoid signing important documents, though, as you will miss important clauses buried in the fine print. A nasty colleague is making work miserable. You need to confront them about their behaviour, but limit your remarks to what they've done, and how it affects you.

Impulse shopping could get you into trouble. Leave your credit cards at home, and only walk around with a minimal amount of cash. It's also a good idea to keep your property locked up tight or you could be a victim of theft. This isn't the best day for romance, either. Someone who has been flirting with you isn't seriously interested. Hold back a little longer. In another week or so, this person's feelings will deepen.

Be realistic when it comes to setting deadlines. Every job coming your way will take twice the time you anticipate. Budget your time accordingly. Promising people you can finish assignments in record time will compromise your reputation. Beware of saying one thing, and then doing another. A neighbour or sibling is holding you to some exacting standards. If you appear to be hypocritical, this person's trust in you will be destroyed.
