Don't fall victim to pessimism. At times, it feels like it is impossible to change, no matter how hard you try. Instead of beating yourself up for another failed attempt, give yourself credit for being brave. The sooner you accept your faults, the better. Friends aren't being very supportive. They're wrapped up in their own problems and don't have time to discuss yours. Try not to take this personally. Look inward for the comfort you seek. Whenever your inner critic starts berating you, replace the thoughts with kind encouragement.

Work is a source of stress. You're tired of dealing with an employer who takes all the credit for your wonderful ideas. It's possible you want to start your own business. Now is not the time for such a bold venture. Keep building your savings. Loneliness can rear its ugly head. It feels like everybody has support but you. Nothing could be further from the truth. You have lots of people in your corner, but you must ask them for help when you need it.

Someone has betrayed your trust. This makes you hesitant to venture into unfamiliar territory. Don't let a bad experience stop you from growing and changing. If you don't try new things, you'll fail to fulfil your potential. It's time to embark on an adventure. Leaving a secure job could be in the cards. Although it pains you to turn your back on a source of reliable income, you simply can't pass up a golden opportunity to travel. Turn in your notice and book the trip.

Beware of overindulging in food, drink and other vices. Your best friend or romantic partner is a bad influence. They enjoy spending time with you. Although you'd like nothing more than neglect work for the sake of fun, you know better. A youngster or romantic partner is clamouring for your attention. Instead of bending over backwards to accommodate them, set a boundary. You can't keep sacrificing your wellbeing for the sake of others. Stop agreeing to every request and factor in time to recuperate.

A partnership is out of balance. You're tired of accommodating a loved one who is always having problems. Take this opportunity to indulge in some self-care. Get a massage, take a holiday or splash out on some new clothes. Treat yourself like royalty. Powerful emotions could tempt you to lash out at a loved one. When you feel that surge of anger, channel it in a positive direction. The only person's behaviour you can control is your own. Give yourself the tender loving care you crave.

It won't be possible to stick to a schedule. An emergency demands your attention. Stop what you're doing and change gear. The sooner you fix this situation, the faster you will be able to resume your normal life. Hire a repair professional, if necessary. Work can be dispiriting. No matter how optimistic you are, your colleagues conspire to derail your projects. They're not interested in improving the department's performance. Instead of sinking to their level, continue to do your best.

You feel neglected. If you're not getting the affection you deserve, be more assertive. You tend to underplay your desires, reluctant to draw attention to yourself. This causes you to get involved with people who like low maintenance relationships. It's time to raise your standards. Trying to fill an emotional void with material goods is a mistake. When you're tempted to go shopping, turn your attention to your possessions instead. Revive an abandoned creative project or enjoy some luxuries you were saving for a rainy day.

You're feeling anxious and irritable. Although you have worked hard to get around most of your most problematic issues, your loved ones seem to be determined to create more difficulties for you. Instead of covering up their mistakes, you will have to try to get them to accept that each of their action brings consequences along with it. You have better things to do than constantly rescue people who are their own worst enemies. Has the time come to lay down some firm ground rules?

It's difficult to stay focused on a goal. There are so many distractions swirling around you. Instead of getting drawn into a gossipy conversation at the water cooler, retreat to a private corner. Immersing yourself in a demanding project will be enjoyable. Family has a way of getting under your skin. You've always been very good at playing the cards you've been dealt. An irritable relative doesn't have this capacity to bloom where they're planted. Instead, they constantly complain about their lot in life. Keep them at arm's length.

Don't place too much importance on material matters. Just because your income isn't what you'd like does not mean you will fail to reach your goal. It's simply a matter of opening yourself to the abundance of the Universes. Adopt an attitude of gratitude. Friends have become too reliant on you. In the past, you were happy to help when you could. Now your loved ones have come to expect your assistance. It's no longer convenient for you to drop everything for their benefit. Put them on notice.

You feel argumentative, but fighting won't accomplish anything. Your employer is determined to do business a certain way and there's nothing you can do about it. Instead of wasting valuable time and energy, it's better to give in with grace. The desire for artistic expression is overpowering. Instead of looking to work as a creative outlet, launch an independent project. It will take a few tries before hitting upon a formula you enjoy. Be patient. An experimental approach will pay off.

You're conflicted about a spiritual matter. Although someone you admire believes one thing, this concept doesn't resonate with you. There's no reason you should adopt a belief just because someone else thinks it's true. If this means leaving a religious organisation, so be it. Although you yearn to take a trip, this isn't a good time to do so. You still have responsibilities to fulfil before going away. A better opportunity to travel will arrive after you've completed an important assignment.
