It’s difficult for you to give credit where credit is due. Stop focusing on people's shortcomings and start praising their strengths. There's no better way to get a good performance out of people than to give them a boost. If your demanding ways aren't satisfied, try working on yourself as the fault may lie in you.

You may jump to the wrong conclusions with regard to a child; ask to hear their side of the story before issuing a lecture.

Give yourself a break before you take it out on others.

The temptation to stay in bed is very strong indeed. However, it's more important you fulfil your family duties and regular responsibilities than ever.

Stop putting off an annoying task or it will continue to deplete you of valuable time and energy. Moody stars makes it very difficult to feel charitable.

Your generous heart could make you the target for an opportunistic friend; be prepared to say "no" to any request. If you feel compelled to do their bidding, then get an IOU down in writing. Greed is drain on both your material and emotional resources. Let your money benefit a cause that is worthy of your assistance.

You're oversensitive to nit pickers, moreso when its comes from less creative folk. Before getting touchy, stop and consider whether their comments are justified. The fact is, you could stand to improve your performance in certain areas. Why not rise to the challenge? Nothing feels better than surpassing others’ expectations.

It’s hard for you to see the bigger picture right now, especially with regard to disappointments. Instead of cursing your current circumstances, ask what you can learn from this situation. The obstacles before you will disappear the moment you recognise the lesson. Resist the urge to overindulge with food, drink or drugs.

Before running to a friend with your latest sob story, consider how they feel. There's nothing more tiresome than a person who only calls to complain about their problems. Reverse the trend by expressing interest in your pal's life. You may discover just how selfish you've been and now you must reverse the trend.

Working with a demanding person is especially difficult today; put your foot down if you're asked to go beyond the call of duty or you will be always targeted as a pushover.

Being a stickler for the rules won't win you any popularity contests so maybe it's time to lighten up a wee bit. Welcome people's suggestions and encourage them to experiment with their own techniques. If this doesn't work out, fine but at least you will have honoured everyone's dignity and folk will feel they’ve had fair treatment.

If your physical needs aren't being met by your partner, speak up before your relationship is affected. You can do this without bruising your mate's ego. Simply explain what you like, then ask if there's anything you can do to improve your lovemaking. This may be the most enlightening discussion you'll have all year.

Insisting on having your own way will cause stress to your domestic life; try being more flexible. Your demanding behaviour is really a means to gain control over an unpredictable situation. If you let things go with the flow, however, you could be pleasantly surprised. You can't put a blueprint on human relationships.
