It's looking like everyone else doesn't hold much appeal for you. Still, your desire to set yourself apart from the crowd can cause problems. Your family has difficulty with the way you express yourself. It may be best to keep your distance for the near future or you'll waste lots of energy trying to justify your choices, when you could be having fun with the people who truly love and accept you. If you have to attend a family function, have a getaway plan.

Having difficulty sleeping? Developing a relaxing bedtime routine can combat the problem. Instead of spending hours on the computer or telephone before retiring, turn off electronic devices. Draw a warm bath or pour a hot drink. Get into bed and read a soothing book for twenty minutes, and then turn off the light. Avoid eating for an hour or so before you go to sleep, or you will continue to toss and turn. Don't underplay the importance of rest.

Making traditional choices has never been a big priority for you. You're intent on leading an interesting life. If that means venturing into the path of danger from time to time, so be it. Exercising your imagination is also important. Make time for drawing, painting, playing music, and writing. It doesn't matter if you can sell your work. The important thing is to have fun. Friends may not understand your need to create, but that's their problem. Don't justify your behaviour.

All you want is some stability in your career, but that just isn't possible right now. A lack of leadership is causing employees to act up. Everyone is frustrated because they don't know what they should be doing. Resist the urge to take the helm. Although you are very authoritative when you want to be, it simply won't pay to take charge. You should earn an executive's salary if you're going to make important decisions. Don't give your talent away.

It feels as if certain philosophies are being foisted on you. If there's anything you hate, it's having to follow a Spartan regime. This simply doesn't gel with your love of luxury. Unfortunately, you won't be able to move on to greener pastures just yet. Remain patient and keep your plans to yourself. Working on a creative project will be a comforting diversion. Console yourself with the knowledge that your situation will soon change. Until then, try blending in with the crowd.

A romantic or business partner is creating financial difficulty for you. Their low credit score or irresponsible spending is jeopardising your long term security. Take this opportunity to create a savings fund for yourself. Keep this account a secret. Just having a little money tucked away will feel empowering. If you're drowning in debt, stop keeping it a secret. Admit you need help and then consolidate your bills. Put yourself on a payment plan that will put you on the road to fiscal independence.

It's hard to settle down when you're so focused on your career. That's perfectly fine. If you're trying to juggle work and a relationship you'll have difficulty. Don't make promises you can't keep. Encourage your amour to go out and have fun while you're at the office. This will make you vulnerable to romantic rivals, but it can't be helped. Everybody makes their choices in life. If you want to have a fabulous career, you'll have to make some sacrifices.

Some of your colleagues are starting to get on your nerves. All you want is to do a good job, not participate in a lot of office gossip. Unfortunately, your unwillingness to spread malicious stories has set you apart from the crowd. People will accuse you of being a snob. Don't bother defending your actions. Just focus on your work and look for a different position when you have time. If you keep your eyes open, you'll find a position that allows you to flourish.

All you want to do is have a little fun, but that isn't possible right now. Your best friend, lover, or business partner needs help. Cancel your plans and extend a helping hand. You might not be able to offer financial assistance, but you can lend a sympathetic ear. Yes, it's boring to have to change gears like this, but consider how your friend has made sacrifices for you. Isn't it time you returned the favour? Take a deep breath and do the right thing.

You don't want to be held captive to a particular lifestyle. Just because your partner grew up a certain way doesn't mean you have to follow suit. Of course, it will be hard to merge households when the two of you have such different needs. Compromise is the key to any successful relationship. Each of you should sit down and make a list of your desires, and then compare notes. Be willing to relinquish a few demands for the sake of harmony.

Going on a shopping spree will put you in difficult financial straits. If you feel the urge to splurge, try reconditioning an old possession that doesn't get much use any more. You're highly inventive and can create some really stunning work. Resist the urge to quit a job that has been dulling your edge. You need the stability of a regular paycheque. If you're out of work, ask neighbours to tell you of any positions that become available. You'll hear of a good job through the grapevine.

Friends are pressuring you into doing something that doesn't really appeal to you. They don't seem to understand your needs are much different from theirs. For you, a great night consists of spending time on a creative project. When you feel like socialising, you'd rather do it with a small crowd of intimates to a big group. Therefore, the prospect of going to a huge bash is daunting. Still, it would be a nice gesture to attend a celebration for someone special.
