Burning the candle at both ends is taking a toll on you. You need to scale back your activities, even if it means spending a quiet weekend at home. Fortunately, friends are willing to come to see you for a relaxing evening of food, games and television. Take this opportunity to catch up on everybody's lives. You may be astonished to learn a female friend has fallen deeply in love. Be sure to congratulate her, as your good opinion means a lot to her.

An old anger you thought was dead and buried will come bubbling to the surface. It's important to bring these feelings out into the open, even if it means confronting a relative. If the source of your pain is no longer around, pour out your feelings in a letter, and then burn it. This exercise may prove very therapeutic. Teaming up with someone who grew up in a foreign country will give you added perspective to your problems.

An angry argument with your neighbour makes daily life stressful. Still, you can't look the other way at their behaviour any longer. If you can't mend this rift, you may want to move to a new home. You always benefit from a change of scenery. Money from an inheritance, refund or grant could help you afford a slightly more expensive place. Alternatively, you may decide to share expenses with a female roommate. Seek someone who balances your intensity with a grounding calmness.

It's important to realise you are more than your bank balance. This is especially true if you've recently lost your job or have been forced to take a pay cut. Reduced circumstances do not mean you have lost your worth as a person. Instead, it means you need to find other ways to boost your self esteem. Spending more time on an intimate relationship will open your eyes to new possibilities. If a business or romantic partner offers to pay for training, accept immediately.

Beware of pushing a relative into a decision they're unwilling to make or your reputation will be permanently damaged. You don't want to be accused of taking advantage of someone at a weak moment. A good job offer could be made, enabling you to engage your intelligence and creativity in exciting ways. By putting your energy into this endeavour, you'll forget all about the crazy scheme that is currently captivating you. Stay attuned to your higher self, and your baser instincts will slowly subside.

Keeping your feelings bottled up simply isn't an option any longer. You need to vent these emotions to someone who is capable of handling them. This means a mature adult who understands your past. Someone younger than you isn't in a position to give any helpful advice to you. Refrain from sharing details of your personal life with them; they have their own problems. If you have been deeply immersed in work, you need to venture back into the sunlight. Force yourself to take a break.

You're tired of being held hostage by a committee. Venturing out on your own will be scary but exhilarating. Beware of going back into the fold at the first sign of panic. You've grown too dependent on the group. By forcing yourself to do tasks others did for you, your self esteem will soar. Fortunately, a relative is poised to give you financial help. By accepting their assistance, you can get your own place and slowly build towards the kind of life you've always wanted.

An authority figure may take you to task, which feels humiliating. Whether this dressing down is justified or not is immaterial. The important thing is to find an outlet for your frustration. Getting a change of scenery can be helpful. Recently, you've had to adapt to other people's ideas of what is proper. Now you're ready to venture out on your own. Finding a neighbourhood and social circle that supports your values will help you withstand petty criticism.

You're being forced to stretch your wings, and you don't really like it. Unfortunately, it's no longer possible to cling to the old ways; you have to move on. Finding a better job will be easier than you think. Stop underplaying your abilities. If you're uncertain where to begin, contact an employment agency. It can help craft a CV that is will result in a variety of offers. Choose the one with the most intellectual stimulation. You can't abide routine work.

Putting yourself in the path of danger is a terrible mistake. While it's understandable you want excitement, there's a difference between fun and peril. Other people depend on you; being irresponsible will let them down. If you're bored, you need to create new opportunities. Take or teach a class. Put your artwork in display. Launch your own business. These are the sorts of risks that will take you to a higher level, rather than plummet to the depths of despair.

A close partnership is threatening your independence. Beware of pushing them away too brusquely, or you could really hurt their feelings. There are more constructive ways to express your desire for freedom. For instance, you might suggest each of you part ways for the day in order to compare notes later. If your friend is slow in getting the hint, tell them in plain language that you want some privacy. The less dramatic you are the fewer problems will result.

So many people have been tugging at your sleeves lately, it's taken a toll on you. Sneak away to a secluded location where you can rest and regroup. Devote some time to painting, writing or craftwork. You're never happier when exercising your creative muscles. You can afford to make mistakes when there is nobody around to judge your work. Knowing this will help you take risks you wouldn't normally conceive. Don't take a colleague's insensitive remarks too seriously.
