You hate being insincere, but sometimes it is the only way to avoid the wrath of a hypersensitive person. If someone asks for feedback, give a polite response. Although it's obvious this project is deeply flawed, the person who is responsible thinks it is utterly fabulous. Nothing you say will penetrate their delusions, so it's best to let sleeping dogs lie. Fortunately, your personal life is much more rewarding. Devote your time and attention to a hobby that lifts your spirits.

A desire for luxury will get you into financial trouble. Instead of splashing out on expensive creature comforts, focus on enjoying what you already own. A simple pleasure like a hot bath, long nap or walk through the park can satisfy your need for indulgence. A confusing set of instructions could create anxiety. Don't start work on a project until you get clarification from the powers that be. Nobody will think less of you for asking for help. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Don't overestimate your importance at work. If you will not carry out certain responsibilities, they will be handed to someone else. Your refusal to cooperate will undermine your professional reputation. If your boss hears about your bad attitude, you could be demoted or even fired. It's important to pitch in whenever possible, even if you're asked to perform tasks that are outside of your job description. Good news about an upcoming trip will reach your ears.

Bad habits are undermining your well being. It's time to put an end to troublesome behaviour. If you require professional help, get it. There's no shame in getting assistance with a serious problem. Most people will admire your decision to mend your ways and get better. It may take some time for a relative to accept the fact you are changing. They may draw strength from your weakness. Stop seeking their approval and do what is best for you. Move towards the light.

Resist the temptation to steer a friendship into romantic waters. The two of you simply aren't suited for an intimate relationship. If you have a partner, it may be difficult to get along with their friends. Instead of asking your amour to choose sides, maintain a diplomatic silence. Don't attend group outings with these people, but encourage your partner to attend. It's the best way to avoid conflict. This is not a perfect solution, but it is one that will reduce stress.

Don't use your position or influence to get special favours. If you know someone who works for a company that produces flashy merchandise, don't ask for a discount. If your boss can get you tickets to a hot concert, resist the urge to ask. If you pull a lot of weight in your community, don't ask to be treated like a VIP. Such demands will only create resentment. You'll earn the respect of both your peers and superiors by waiting in line, just like everybody else.

Be scrupulously fair. You may be tempted to favour someone whose background is similar to your own. It's better to base your decision on a person's talent and hard work. That way, nobody can accuse you of being prejudiced. A glamorous party invitation is on the way. Be sure to wear something special to this gathering. There's a good chance you will cross paths with someone who makes your pulse pound. The two of you will make an attractive power couple.

You may be tempted to seduce someone as a means to get what you want. Beware of resorting to such tactics, as they could come back to haunt you. If you want something, be honest about it. You may not get what you want if you take a straightforward approach. At least nobody could ever accuse you of being manipulative. It's more important to establish trust within a relationship than get what you want all the time. Leave your ambition at the door.

Try not to neglect your best friend or romantic partner. If your loved one wants to change their lifestyle, offer your support. It makes you sad to put the old days behind you, but clinging to the past can undermine your relationship. Misunderstandings about a joint bank account will cause stress. If someone has been taking more than their fair share of this fund, it's time to put some safety measures in place. Keep a close eye on this account.

You're not motivated to work, which causes problems with colleagues. When you shirk your duties, it creates problems for others. Be considerate of them. You may need a fellow worker's help sooner than you think. At the end of the day an attentive partner will be eager to shower you with affection. Allow them to wait on you. You're overdue for some pampering. If you're confused about the terms of an agreement, ask for written clarification. You need to know where you stand.

The party is over. It's time to get back to work. You're sorely tempted to call in sick and spend the day in bed with your amour. Unfortunately, this will do serious damage to your professional reputation. You must establish that you are diligent and trustworthy. Shirking your duties could result in dismissal. Take solace in the fact you have a rewarding personal life. Many people go home to a cold, empty household where they are not appreciated. Count your blessings.

You long to stay home and enjoy familiar surroundings, but it's not possible. You have errands to run and responsibilities to fulfil. Stop dragging your feet and dispatch these duties as quickly as possible. That way, you'll be able to put your feet up and let your hair down in record time. If you're looking for a job, you could get several exciting offers. Choose the one that will bring the most creative satisfaction. Getting paid to exercise your imagination will be a tremendous bonus.
