Working with a team proves frustrating if you do not respect your co-workers. Independent projects are more your line, but if you are forced to work alongside someone who is not very capable, grit your teeth and carry on regardless. Complaints will only brand you a trouble-maker. Thankfully, the weekend is almost here: a chance to rethink your thoughts.

You simply have to make sacrifices if a partnership is going to work; stop fighting for supremacy. After all, you can't possibly relax if you re expected to be the leader all the time. Cut back on your spending and try to avoid being so close minded. Versatility may not be your strong suit, but you can become more flexible with effort.

Contrary to what you may think, you can't possibly gain power without the support of your peers. It s time to build coalitions, even if it means sacrificing some of your beliefs. Your experiences with a wide group of people will make you less judgmental, and that is definitely a good thing. Moral superiority is not an attractive quality.

An aggressive colleague may make you very nervous about your own abilities, but try to stay calm. You can outshine this person by sticking to your guns. There¹s no need to make apologies for things that aren't your fault. When authorities see that you hold yourself with pride, they will be less likely to pick on you.

There is no question that you are ready to have a good time, but stop and think about the future. Salting a little money away now will take the pressure off when life doesn't seem so rosy. Besides, conserving your resources will help you to appreciate your good fortune more. Don't be tempted into buying pricey status symbols.

Your desire to push past obstacles that have dogged you since birth is indeed admirable, but don't overdo it. A little rest and relaxation is essential if you re going to meet your goals before spring is over. Beware of people who want something for nothing. Their needs may become a stone around your neck.

An old-fashioned relative may insist that you behave in ways that seem terribly outmoded to you. There is no point in agreeing just to meet their approval. Listen to your heart and let the chips fall where they may. A strained relationship is better than a false personality. Besides, the person in question will mellow in time.

You are going to have to repay a favour if you want to win your independence once and for all. Get a receipt for any services you render, or this debt could play out for months to come. On the plus side, you have gathered enough resources to begin work on a cherished creative project. Keep your eyes on the prize.

Don't assume that everyone is out to get you; the more friendly you are, the more helpful they will be. In fact, you could form a powerful team with somebody who you've always considered a rival. Just be careful not to step on their toes. By attending to your own areas of expertise, the two of you will get along fine.

You are simply loaded with great ideas, but you¹re going to have to put a few into action to save face. Being labelled a dreamer will drive away the kinds of jobs or stimulating challenges you so desperately want. Don't be afraid of what lies ahead. They won't seem like work once you roll up your sleeves and get down to business.

Proving yourself may be more difficult than you think, so get ready for a battle. If someone in authority goes out their way to belittle your work, don't take it personally. There¹s probably some political reason involved. Arrange to strike out on your own in your spare time. It doesn't pay to align yourself with a short-sighted organisation.

Face it: you are going to have to answer for your behaviour if you insist on marching to the beat of your own drummer. Individuality seems threatening to folks who are scared to break the rules. Fortunately, you've got your imagination to console you. Just make sure you make an occasional concession to social convention.
