Discussing recent happenings with a partner might restore a sense of security and balance into your relationship. Misunderstandings should be addressed; they will be easier to sort out than anticipated. If you aren't in a relationship, are you focusing too much on your career and other responsibilities? Perhaps it's time to introduce more fun into your life. Think about buying a new car or computer.

It won't be easy to keep tight lipped when a situation is exaggerated out of all proportion. You wish certain people would stop laying it on so thick; if they strove to be more realistic more would get done.

If you feel your views aren't being taken seriously you've got to speak up.

There is no getting out of having to perform tasks you find unpleasant. Or you may have to work with someone you don't particularly like. Having to put yourself out for others seems like a drain on your energy. As a result you're irritable and annoyed. It won't be easy motivate yourself to do the things you'd wanted to do. Instead of blaming other people, it could be there are things going on inside making it hard for you to feel excited and enthusiastic.

When you see someone suffering you might wish you could take away their pain. You sense what others are going through even if they say you can't possibly know. Some people have no idea how sensitive you are to their feelings. Your compassion also alerts you to the fact one person in particular isn't ready to let go of their hurt and surrender to happiness. Help those you can, but don't let them pull you down with them.

Avoid the temptation to point to others as a reason for past disappointments. Don't blame circumstances or lack of opportunity for under achieving.

Congratulate your boss on an aspect of leadership well done.

Don't allow a romantic disappointment to cause you to give up on a lifelong dream. As far as your long term aspirations are concerned you should let nothing and no one hold you back.

Nothing's going to stop you now, from achieving your aims.

Watching someone cling to safe familiar ways is wearing on your nerves. You're keen to move forward but they're holding you back.

Even so it may well be this is the solution to your problem.

Your love life will be transformed for the better when you prove you aren't dismissing your lover's needs as irrelevant. If you're single, it seems as if a dynamic stranger has suddenly forced their way into your life when you weren't quite ready for them. Admit it: you're really quite excited by their interest. Once you amend your behaviour to show more interest and to relax in their company, relationships will improve.

Apply brainpower and work out those steps needed to attain your goals. If calling in a favour is the only way to get over a current hurdle, don't hesitate just do it! Someone may question your tactics but the end will justify the means. You've always been serious about your intentions and if you want something badly enough you'll do anything and everything to make it happen.

You're caught up in a whirlwind of daily problems and you've only got yourself to blame. Refusing to accept help when it was offered now means you've got to manage on your own. It feels as if you're going round in circles and getting nowhere very fast. Chances are if you pause for a moment, take a deep breath and start again with a clear head, you will make better progress.
