Making friends with someone for the purpose of converting them is a bad idea. No belief justifies treating people like pawns in a game. Stay close to the ones you really love or all of your relationships could be tainted by cynicism. If you feel you have outworn your welcome at home, it may be time to take an extended trip. Going away will give you a fresh perspective. It will help you make new friends.

A physical relationship needs careful handling. If there's no affection on your side, you need to break things off or your partner will feel used and abused. Granted, the chemistry between you is palatable, but it's not a good enough reason to get involved. Consider how you would feel if the shoe was on the other foot. If you need money, raise it yourself. Borrowing funds from friends will only compromise your relationship in the long run.

A lack of consideration for others could get you in trouble with a romantic or business partner. Keep in mind that your actions affect everyone around you. If you're rude to a customer, your business associate will feel the effects. When you're unkind to family members, your amour will hear about it. Grit your teeth and be as kind as possible to everyone, no matter how difficult. The outcome of a lawsuit will have a profound effect on the future.

Unless you build strong relationships with your colleagues, you could make some hidden enemies. True, you would probably never hang out with these people outside of work, but that shouldn't matter, you depend on them in your professional life, so you might as well be pleasant. If you've had some disagreements in the past with workmates, invite them out to lunch. Offer to turn over a new leaf for the sake of harmony.

Gambling on what looks like a sure thing could have disastrous effects. Keep your money safe where it is, in the bank. A romance has reached a turning point. The two of you need to decide whether to take your union a step further or part ways altogether. It's possible you're arguing over whether or not to have a child, move in together or buy a new home. When it comes right down to it you have a tough decision to make.

Taking out feelings of anger and inadequacy at home will spoil your family life. If you've experienced a string of professional disappointments, you need to find a healthy way to let off steam. Talk to a wise friend or share your feelings with your nearest and dearest. Until this happens, you'll continue to spiral out of control. If you depend on your relatives for financial support, you need to be especially sensitive to their feelings.

Be careful when operating heavy equipment, especially cars. Machinery has a tendency to break down and people can be careless on a day like today. If you need to be somewhere, allow lots of extra time to get there. Keep your mobile charged so you can contact the necessary parties in case of emergency. Important news of could be coming your way and you will need to think through all the consequences and connotations.

Be completely above board when it comes to business deals. Any sort of shadowy deal could backfire. You can't afford to compromise your reputation this way so if a deal falls through, so be it. There will be other opportunities. When in doubt, stick to a strict moral code. It will help you make the difficult decisions ahead. You've always been very good at seeing shades of grey. Now you're being challenged to recognise the difference between black and white.

You're extremely headstrong, which could prompt you to steamroll over other people's feelings. Don't let your urge to win turn you into a complete bully. Be especially solicitous to shy people, who can be intimidated by your star power. You're about to undergo a powerful transformation, possibly because you will have something precious taken away. Suddenly, you'll be reassessing all of your priorities. At times like these, you need to draw closer to your friends not push them away.

Behind the scenes power struggles make daily life difficult. It's as though you can't be honest with anyone. Maybe it's time to put your cards on the table. True, you'll have to admit past deceptions, but it's better than creating future ones. You've always been a forthright person. Being forced to change your ways has taken a toll on your nerves. It's especially important to be truthful with your colleagues, who have put their faith in you.

A powerful organisation could be putting undue pressure on you. The only way to fight this group is to get professional help. If you sense you are really beaten, give in gracefully. Getting into a long, protracted struggle simply isn't worth it. This is especially true if you have children. If you are embarking on a romance, you may want to do some research into your amour's background. Be prepared to learn something surprising about this person.

Although you have the power to hurt someone who has done you wrong you should resist the urge. Taking the high road will help you move past this. Giving into temptation will only get you more deeply mired into it. Although it may be impossible to forgive and forget, you can opt for a happier future. Leave them to stew in their own juices. You've got bigger fish to fry, on the professional front.
