Hiding your growing interest in the spiritual or metaphysics is cutting you off from potential friends. If you're so afraid of what your social circle will think of your new passion, you may want to consider why you're with them in the first place. People pleasing is an exercise in futility, especially for a die-hard individualist like you.

Be scrupulous about repeating information to others, or you could be the unwitting source of a nasty rumour. If you're not sure of the facts, remain silent. It's fun to spread juicy information, but it can cause innocent parties a great deal of grief in the long run. Think about the consequences of your actions before you open your mouth.

People appreciate your ability to bend with the breeze, but your agreeable attitude could backfire today. A relative may try to push you into an arrangement that makes you feel uncomfortable. Fight this plan while you have the chance, or you could find yourself in a regrettable situation. Others need to respect your feelings, too.

A time-honoured ritual served you well in the past, but things have changed since then. You need to adjust your day to reflect these new circumstances. This is especially difficult for you, as you hate shifts that have been imposed on you. The more you fight these changes, though, the harder life will be. Give in gracefully, if only to avoid stress.

An expensive hobby makes a loved one resentful, as they feel you could be spending more money on them. You don't appreciate manipulative tactics like these, and cling more tenaciously to your pastime than ever. Be prepared to get the silent treatment from the wounded party. Don't let this stop you from indulging your passion.

Your present surroundings may not be supporting the lifestyle you want to lead. It may be time to move, or at least make big adjustments to your home. Having more privacy is essential if you're going to develop your creative gifts. You can't expect to make progress when people keep flitting in and out of your workspace.

Someone could drop in unexpectedly, forcing you to put off chores for another day. This comes as a welcome relief. You have a tendency to think of depression as an inevitable cycle of life. This isn't necessarily true; your blue mood is often the result of doing the same thing over and over again. Break away from your predictable routine.

Splashing out a little on a new outfit or modern gadget can give your spirits a lift. Somewhere along the line, you learned to feel guilty about extravagances. Maybe this is why it's been so hard for you to accumulate wealth. You can't get rich if you feel you are unworthy. Stop associating self-denial with virtue; it's absolutely ridiculous.

Contrary to what others might think, you are more than the sum total of your work. You need to spend more time with friends, family, and neighbours who like you for who you are, not what you contribute. No matter how secure you feel in your duties, it can't be your only reason for getting out of bed each morning.

Your willpower is stronger than most, but it's particularly powerful right now. Take this opportunity to break a bad habit that you've kept hidden from even your closest associates. This source of shame is blocking you from trying new experiences. Once you conquer it, you'll feel less scared about travelling to unfamiliar places.

A once admirable organisation no longer reflects your beliefs and values. There's no point in staying loyal if you don't ascribe to its principles. The other man's grass isn't greeener socially so avoid attaching yourself to another group, at least for the next month or so. You need to enjoy the experience of going solo again. It's not as lonely as you think!

You're tempted to tell someone exactly what you think of their management skills. Hold off for a while, though, or you could damage your reputation. If you think things are truly intolerable, it's better to look around for a new position first. That way, your criticisms will have a little more clout. It's empowering to know your skills are in demand. Psychologically you are in no fit state to compete with people more self-assured than you - back off for now.
