You're reluctant to commit to one course of action, preferring to keep your options open. Your refusal to pick a path will result in a lost opportunity. Stop dragging your feet and set a goal. Joining a professional or social group will open doors. Going against the grain won't be advantageous. It's better to establish yourself as a team player, even if you find the rules of the game distasteful. There will be better opportunities to rebel later. Focus on blending in right now.

A temper tantrum will undermine your reputation. When things don't go your way, stay calm. The tide will turn in your favour if you maintain your high expectations and cultivate contentment. There's nothing like an attitude of gratitude to attract prosperity. Pushing your way to the front of the queue will create great resentment. It's better to wait your turn, even if you're technically able to claim special privileges. Your egalitarian attitude will earn the respect and admiration of everyone.

You're highly sensitive to criticism. If someone makes a joke at your expense, take it as a compliment. Your good-natured response will earn the admiration of both your peers and superiors. There's nothing more likable than someone who refuses to take themselves seriously. Rather than pushing your agenda on others, let people make up their own minds. Showing respect for individual opinions will cultivate a much more relaxed, friendly atmosphere. It's easy to work together when every member of the group feels valued.

Nothing makes you angrier than people who ignore your boundaries. Instead of ignoring the problem, confront the pest who keeps pushing your buttons. Make it clear you will no longer tolerate their respectful behaviour. If they persist, file a report or cut off the relationship. It's important to keep your feelings in check. Find a healthy outlet for your anger. Playing a sport will allow you to release your rage in a productive manner. You can also work with your hands, write in a diary or commune with nature.

Beware of pouring all your energy into work. Spending long hours at the office will alienate the people you love most. You may not realise it, but the secret to your success is a rich personal life. Strong personal relationships will increase your professional stature. The constraints of a relationship are weighing on your heart. It may be time to claim your independence. Maintaining a miserable arrangement for the sake of public approval is a losing proposition. Head for higher ground.

You resent possessive behaviour. Someone with your wide variety of interests is bound to have a busy schedule. Any friend or romantic partner who doesn't understand this will not last long in your life. Never turn your back on your hobbies; they make you happy. Working too hard can take a toll on your health. Factor leisure time into your schedule, even if it means relegating tasks to roommates, relatives and colleagues. There's no reason you should shoulder all the responsibility.

Respect a loved one's privacy. The less you try to inject yourself into a friend's life, the more welcoming they will be. When you feel lonely and anxious, turn your attention to creative pursuits. Having your own pastimes will make you more attractive. Don't take risks with your body. Extreme sports should be avoided like the plague. If you're working with sharp tools or heavy machinery, wear safety equipment. You may feel foolish wearing a helmet, but looking awkward is better than visiting accident and emergency.

Making a scene will only drive people away. If you want to draw attention to a problem, be direct. Don't raise your voice, issue ultimatums or make threats. When people realise you mean business, they'll stop what they're doing and try to help you. It will be challenging to control your temper with family. A relative who enjoys pushing your buttons will try to provoke an angry reaction. Don't take the bait. If that means avoiding their company altogether, so be it.

A colleague who is being extremely fussy about food should not be criticised. You may not realise how much distress it causes for them to not have access to acceptable menu items. The more accommodating you are, the smoother your interactions will be. A sarcastic response to a sincere question will create tension. Treat everyone's enquiries with respect. It's never nice for a newcomer to be treated with distain. If they're learning the ropes, they'll appreciate being treated with courtesy.

Don't let a bad mood spoil the day. If you feel discouraged, do everything in your power to improve your outlook. Listen to uplifting music, make a gratitude list or recall some happy memories. Chasing away the shadows will attract love, luck and prosperity. Be honest about your financial situation. If you need more money, explain the situation to your employer. Getting paid what you are worth is critical to your work performance. Are you unemployed? Apply for work that won't force you to struggle between each payday.

Being loud and forceful will backfire. The best way to exercise power is to be the iron fist inside of the velvet glove. A calm, gentle approach will command respect. People have confidence in leaders who project an air of calm during stressful situations. Being argumentative won't cause closed doors to swing open. If you're going to forge ahead with a plan, you must be polite and deferential. This can be infuriating, especially if you're dealing with a slow official. Grin and bear it.

Resist the temptation to pry into someone's secrets. By giving a neighbour or relative extra space, you'll pave the way for a good relationship. An intuitive person like you doesn't need verbal confirmation of your suspicions. You somehow know the truth. Don't get involved in a secret intrigue. Keeping a shameful secret will implicate you in an embarrassing situation. When someone asks you to give a cover story, politely refuse. You can't compromise your reputation for the sake of popularity.
