An angry confrontation with a neighbour or sibling could be in the cards. You simply can't abide this person's immature behaviour any longer. Everybody else has been forced to make sacrifices, and this character should be no exception. Beware of unleashing your fury in a public place or you could lose a loved one's respect. Fighting in front of a child should also be avoided. Sometimes it's better to bite your tongue than make a point.

Your friends and family may be shielding you from an unpleasant realisation. It's important to face facts with regard to your career. In the event your boss asks you to do something unpleasant, it may be better to follow orders than refuse. If that's not possible, resign yourself to leaving gracefully. The more dignified your exit, the easier it will be to find another position. Don't borrow money from a lover. It's not worth the trouble.

A stubborn attitude could create a clash between you and a relative. You need to unbend if you're going to meet in the middle. A business or romantic partner may accuse you of being weak, but so far as you're concerned it's more important to have domestic harmony than win your point. You don't need to lie in order to resolve this conflict; you just have to agree to disagree. If you have to choose between your heart and head, go with the latter.

Using sex or shopping as a buffer from pain will only compound your problems. Don't turn your back on a problem. It may be time to part ways with a lover or seek relief from credit card debt. Exposing your troubles to the light of day could attract public scorn. Turn a deaf ear to nasty comments. It takes courage to break a destructive cycle. In time, your critics will come around to your point of view. Don't let a work related responsibility fall through the cracks.

It may not be realistic to have the spotlight trained on you. A close friend or business associate is going through tremendous difficulty today. You need to drop what you are doing and attend to their needs. Breaking a promise to a child or lover could get you into hot water. Check your schedule before making plans. It's possible you've forgotten a birthday, lunch appointment, or special occasion. Arguments could break out in a large group.

Sarcasm is seriously affecting your home life, so stop making derisive comments about a relative's dreams or concerns. They may seem petty to you, but they are of vital importance to this person. Think back to a time when somebody was dismissive of your desires. Look upon this situation as a chance to heal an old wound. By giving the compassionate response you wanted, you'll break the bonds of this painful memory.

You may be tempted to make friends with someone in order to get close to one of their relatives or associates. Resist this urge, or you will be branded an opportunist. If you want to connect with a person, be honest about your motives. You possess enough wit and charm to achieve this objective with a minimum of fuss. Trying to do too many things at once will result in exhaustion. Stop putting so much pressure on yourself.

Using your professional status for personal gain is a mistake. You've worked too hard to risk your reputation this way. If you want a special favour, ask for it. Don't try to get it through subtle manipulations. Your sex life could be the source of frustration. It feels like your needs aren't being met. Maybe it's because you're putting too much focus on the physical act. It may be better to cultivate intimacy by talking quietly with your lover, at least for now.

An inflated sense of self importance could get you into trouble at work. Never assume you're the only person fit to do a job. Such a challenge will be too tempting to your rivals. The more humble you are, the easier it will be to keep your current position. A business or romantic partner may try to bully you into doing something which seems distasteful. Prepare to defend yourself; your reputation is on the line.

Practicing financial discipline will be something of a challenge as there are just so many lovely things you want to buy. While there's no shame in desiring luxuries, you do need to consider the emotional price of going into debt. Worrying about paying your bills simply isn't worth it. Avoid discussions about religion and politics like the plague or you could do serious damage to a good friendship.

Escapist tendencies are preventing you from being fully present for a loved one. You need to return to the land of the living. Arrange to have a quiet dinner with the object of your affection, and vow to do most of the listening. You may be surprised to learn of some new developments in this person's life. It's not because you weren't told; it's because you weren't paying attention. Turn over a new leaf and devote more energy to this relationship.

You could be your own worst enemy, especially as far as work is concerned. The best way to get a job is through hard work and dedication. Natural talent will only take you so far. If somebody offers you a lowly position in your desired field, you'd be wise to take it. Working your way up the ladder shouldn't be a problem, provided you're willing to make some sacrifices. A friend may not be able to deliver on the promise of a job.
