An exciting career opportunity may result from your cooperative attitude. This job will not only be interesting, but it also will be profitable. There's a benefit to exhibiting grace under fire.

You will have to enforce the rules if anything is going to get done. Although you hate monitoring others, it's the only way to ensure a job will be done properly.

The sooner you dispatch your duties, the happier you will be. Planning a relaxing holiday will be a welcome diversion. You will benefit from a change of scenery.

Work responsibilities have stopped you taking good care of your health. It's time to reverse the trend. Put your job on the back burner in favour of getting more sleep and exercise.

You have an exciting chance to get ahead on the career front. Having a peaceful haven from work will make you even more productive.

Lack of planning will get you in trouble. If you've let some important jobs fall through the cracks, admit it. Your loved ones will rally to your side.

This has stopped you asking for assistance. Being receptive to help will make you a better partner, friend and neighbour.

Losing something you value is always difficult. Give yourself time to grieve its absence from your life. Well intentioned friends will tell you go get over it, but that won't be possible.

A low self image is holding you back. Monitor your thoughts. Any time you start heaping yourself with criticism, stop. Replace negative remarks with affirmations.

Set a new goal and take one practical step towards achieving it each day. Even making a phone call or filling out a form will create some momentum.

Facing your fears is never easy, but it's critical to personal growth. You've achieved a great deal. Now you're ready to go on to the next level. Landing a lucrative job is within your power.

This will help you pose pointed, intelligent questions that will create a good impression.

Be mindful of the company you keep. Having friends who are involved with underhanded activity will undermine your own reputation. Steer clear of troublemakers. If a loved one has made a bad decision, it may be time for a confrontation. You aren't the type to look the other way. Be honest about your feeling. It's possible you won't be able to maintain this friendship if the person in question continues to act in irresponsible ways. Have the courage of your convictions.

Making a plan for the future is critical. In the past, you were content to drift along, taking opportunities as they arose. Now you've reached a point when you can forge your own path. Whether this means getting an advanced degree, switching career paths or opening your own business is immaterial. The important thing is to look deep inside to find your life's purpose. Some people will discourage you from taking a big risk, but ignore them. Take a leap of faith.

It's time to confront a past failure. You have a fresh opportunity to meet an elusive goal. Don't let an old disappointment stop you rising to the challenge. An accomplished friend will be happy to act as your mentor. When your dream seems too daunting, turn to your buddies for support. Staying focused is the key to your success. Stay away from well intentioned people who have a tendency to undermine your productivity. If you're going to cross the finish line first work at a steady pace.
