The intellectual stimulation you seek isn't readily available. You'll be busy putting out metaphorical fires. A friend who has no thought for others could cause a scandal. They have a penchant for blabbing secrets just to stir up trouble. Don't be so quick to judge the subject of this story. You're not hearing all the facts. Besides, you know how it feels to be the victim of slander. By refusing to get involved, you'll win the respect of others.

Beware of putting your nose where it doesn't belong. Probing into a friend's private life could unearth some shocking information. Think how you'd feel if someone were to look at your emails or text messages without permission. If you happen to come across some sensitive information by mistake, stay silent. Working as part of a team could get on your nerves. You're tired of being shouted down by people who don't know what they're doing.

Indecision could get you into trouble at work. It's better to make a bad choice than to sit dithering about what to do next. If you happen to attract the wrath of an authority figure, stay calm. They are just looking for a scapegoat. At times like these, working for yourself seems like the best way forward, but you do need to think through how such a move will affect your nearest and dearest. Don't make any moves without asking your romantic partner.

Try not to be too hard on a fellow worker. Not everyone shares your perfectionism. Constantly harping on the flaws in other people's work will make you tremendously unpopular. This may not bother you now, but it will when you need the support of your peers. A legal matter may not go your way. Try not to dwell on your disappointment. Everybody has to submit to authority at one time or another. By working within the limitations which have been placed upon you, you'll earn people's respect.

You won't be able to charm your way out of a debt. Stop scheming and dreaming and get down to work. Set up a payment plan that will put you back in black by a target date. Living under this burden has taken a toll on your health. Once you move in the direction of financial freedom, the stress will start to lift. A person who is obsessed with you needs to be brought down to earth. Be brutally honest about your feelings. Kindness will only prolong their pain.

Oversensitivity could undermine a close relationship. You need to develop a thicker skin where a friend, lover, or someone at work is concerned. Perhaps teasing them back will alleviate the tension. If you're on your own, it may be because you're too close with your family. Part of becoming an adult is forming an identity which is separate from your nearest and dearest. Try looking at your relatives with a clear eye. This will make you a more attractive candidate for romance.

Beware of taking a job for which you are utterly unsuited. Yes, you need a steady income, but it's important to hold out for the right kind of work. Opportunities related to the arts, charity work, or psychology are highly favoured. You might also thrive in the hospitality field. These days, it's practically impossible to get good customer service. That's where someone with your diplomatic talents comes in. Stress this ability when you go on job interviews.

All of your attempts to be organised could fall apart at the seams. A youngster could get into your work papers, a pet might run across a freshly cleaned floor with muddy paws, or your office could be torn apart by construction. Wait another week or two before launching a cleanup. There's no point in talking sense to an irritable partner who is too worked up to see sense. They are asking too much. Wait for their temper tantrums to fade before setting them straight.

Speaking before you think could get you in a lot of trouble, especially where family is concerned. You need to be extra tactful with an eccentric relative. This isn't the best time to buy or sell property; wait until later next month to seal an important deal. Arguments over household chores could disrupt your domestic life. It's going to take a lot of time and patience to sort this problem out. Nobody likes doing drudge work, least of all you!

Your practical attitude towards money isn't shared by your nearest and dearest. In fact, their behaviour could undermine your attempts to save. Maybe it would be best to have a secret bank account. That way, you can build a nest egg without having people come to you for loans every five minutes. Although your behaviour may seem selfish to some, it's really very smart. You're the type who needs money in the bank to feel secure.

Unexpected expenses make you irritable. Try not to lash out at an innocent bystander. It's not their fault if they seem happier, richer or more independent than you and don't take it to heart even if some of their comments may seem insensitive. After all, this person has never had to work for a living. Still, you can't hold it against them. This isn't the best time to work with a large crowd, either. Your good ideas will get swallowed up by more mundane ones.

Pessimism is undermining your career prospect. If you're convinced you can't find a job, you won't. Try adopting a more optimistic outlook. One thing which can help lift your spirits is exercising your creative muscles. Painting, writing, or playing music will keep depression at bay. It will also strengthen your imagination, prompting you to seek work in new and exciting ways. These days, it's not enough to send a traditional CV. You need to set yourself apart from the crowd.
