Harbouring resentment towards a romantic or business partner will cause deep unhappiness. While it's true your friend has had some lucky breaks, that doesn't mean they're not worthy of success. You'll have your moment in the sun. When that happens, your collaborator will be the first to applaud. Let go of this sense of competition. It's only undermining what should be a nurturing relationship. When jealousy rears its ugly head, remind yourself there is plenty of good fortune to go around.

Arguing about religion and politics is useless. You're not going to change anyone's mind. In fact, you'll just make colleagues angry if you continue to challenge their beliefs. When it comes to work, you must find a way to look past each other's differences. This will allow you to produce good work that will uplift the whole team. Once you get a few victories under your belt, you'll look at your fellow workers with appreciative eyes.

The prospect of deep intimacy scares you. If you feel like a new romantic interest has become increasingly important, you may be tempted to back away. Don't make any hasty decisions. The object of your affection may not come back if you drive them away. Make a list of all the things you fear. Once you see these anxieties in black and white, you'll realise they are ridiculous. Are you already in a relationship? Stop keeping your problems a secret. It's time to open up.

Power struggles continue to disrupt a close relationship. The two of you must decide whether to break up or make up. These continual fights are draining you both of valuable energy. Part of the problem is you have differing attitudes towards work. One of you desires an all absorbing career, while the other wants a fulfilling home life. You'll have to meet somewhere in the middle. If that's not possible, go your separate ways. Try not to be bitter. Some people just aren't suited to be together.

If there's anything you hate, it's having your work performance criticised. Before getting hot under the collar, decide whether the feedback you receive is justified. There is room for improvement everywhere. Acknowledge the difference between constructive advice and petty nit-picking. You'll notice a dramatic improvement in customer relations after changing the way you deal with difficult people. Pattern your behaviour after a colleague who rarely gets flustered when challenged.

Your obsession with a book or movie is driving romance from your door. Love is rarely the way it looks in fiction. Your soul mate may not have movie star looks or a tragic past. Be willing to go out with someone who is kind, considerate and utterly ordinary. You'll soon discover extraordinary virtues beneath their normal facade. If you're already in a relationship, encourage your amour to pursue their favourite hobbies.

Facing the truth about your past will be liberating. Your family may have raised you to believe something that is utterly false. Coming to terms with this deception will be difficult but rewarding. You have a rare opportunity to make a fresh start, free of guilt and shame. Don't be surprised when certain relatives stubbornly cling to the false information they've been feeding you. Some people can't handle the truth. Fortunately, you're not one of them. Put the past behind and move towards the light.

You're resistant to learning from a neighbour or relative. You don't want to appear insecure in their eyes. Actually, being receptive to their superior knowledge will earn their respect. Nobody can possibly know everything. Young people often have an edge on technology and cutting edge trends. By deferring to their expertise, they'll be more open to your ideas. Instead of having an adversarial relationship, you'll treat each other like respected equals. That will be a definite improvement over your current relationship.

It's hard to let go of possessions that served you well in times of trial. Now you no longer need them, it's best to pass them on. Making space in your home will clear the way for new energy to enter your life. Resist the urge to fill this emptiness with new purchases. Pause to enjoy your minimal surroundings. You may discover having less gives you an exhilarating feeling of freedom. You really don't need much to make you happy; just friends and animals.

Your intensity is too much for many to bear. Don't be surprised when people cower at your approach. Although you will be able to get what you want, the experience won't be very satisfying. That's because you will sense fear and resentment from your colleagues. Instead of ruling by fear, try a collaborative approach. Ask for feedback and take comments seriously. If you're overhauling a procedure, talk to the people who will be immediately affected. They know what works.

Addictive behaviours are making you unhappy. It's time you adopted healthy habits that will keep your spirits high. Taking regular exercise and eating nutritious meals will make it easier to cope with stress. It will also help to get more sleep. When you give your body the support it needs, your energy will soar. Small problems that once filled you with despair will become easily fixed. If you're unemployed, try to enjoy your free time. A steady position will arrive when you need it most.

Someone will try to befriend you in a quest for power. Be suspicious of anyone who suddenly takes an interest in your activities. You're better off with people who have proven their loyalty over the years. If you're trying to lose weight or avoid temptation, stay away from friends who fall prey to indulgence. Although they don't want to hurt you, they may not understand how much you want to change. Their innocent invitations to eat, drink and be merry could cause your willpower to crumble.
