You're reluctant to reveal your vulnerability to others. When you are hurt, you tend to make a joke of the situation, rather than wear your heart on your sleeve. This can cause difficulty in your relationships. Instead of being motivated to help you, friends and family keep their distance. As a result, you feel alienated when you could be comforted. Stop acting like you're indifferent to rude treatment and insensitive behaviour. Loved ones will come to your side when they know how you've been affected.

Nothing makes you more upset than injustice. You're tired of watching vulnerable people be hurt by powerful individuals. The prospect of standing up for these victims makes you nervous. You don't want to have your own prospects dimmed by challenging the status quo. Swallow your fear and speak up. It will feel like a weight has been lifted from your shoulders. Remaining silent in the face of abuse is like giving your silent approval. Make your position clear; people will remember your courageous stance.

It's difficult for you to rest, relax and have fun. This is unusual for a happy go lucky person like you. The source of your problem is an oppressive relationship. Lately, you've been dealing with someone who is determined to break your spirit. Every time you crack a joke, they sit there with a straight face. When you propose taking a break, they radiate disapproval. After making impressive contributions, they fail to compliment them. The sooner you can part ways, the faster your zest for life will return.

It's important to finish what you start, even if you've grown tired of a project. Your ability to deliver a project on time and under budget will pave the way for more interesting opportunities. You may not realise it, but you're in a trial period. When people understand that you can manage your time wisely, they'll entrust you with bigger and better assignments. Are you unemployed? Get into the habit of sending three applications per day and reaching out to at least one potential professional contact.

A loved one is trying to manipulate you. Buying them an expensive gift won't improve your relationship. If you're going to become closer, you must spend quality time together. You tend to get wrapped up in your own concerns and forget the outside world. When this happens, your nearest and dearest feel snubbed. Instead of getting defensive about this behaviour, work to change it. Demonstrate an interest in the hopes, dreams and fears of your friends. They'll respond with the warmth and affection you desire.

Make your dissatisfaction with a working colleague or a loving partner clear, even at the risk of having an argument. You're tired of their insensitive behaviour. Although you have different emotional needs, your other half should be considerate of this fact. Instead of making teasing remarks, they can offer positive feedback. Rather than staying focused on their own work, they can relieve you of some dreaded chores from time to time. In return, you can give your other half the kind of support they want.

A lack of confidence is keeping you from pursuing an exciting work opportunity. Don't hesitate to apply for a job that involves lots of travel. You'll be a great representative for your employer. People respond well to your graciousness, wit and intelligence. You might not have previous experience in this field, but that won't make a difference. Your skills can be easily transferred to virtually any industry. If you've been unable to find a job, it's time to join an employment agency.

Beware of casual flirtations. What seems like a playful exchange to you seems like serious interest to others. You don't want to give false hope to an innocent victim. If you're already in a relationship, give your full attention to your amour. Show your appreciation for all the kind gestures they regularly perform for you. The fastest way to break a boring routine is by focussing your attention on the present moment, rather than acting on autopilot. Prepare to fall in love all over again.

It's difficult for you to make a rational decision. You're outraged by a terrible injustice. Resist the temptation to get revenge on someone who has been abusing their power. Stooping to the level of a toxic person will reflect poorly on you. Do your best to fulfil your obligations in a gracious, efficient way. Everyone will admire your ability to show grace under fire. Don't be surprised when you're offered to replace the person who has been offending you. It's obvious you're far more capable of handling their responsibilities.

You're reluctant to let down your guard with a newcomer. This is a wise decision. Someone who continually pumps you for information has ulterior motives. It's best to keep your own counsel. When asked probing questions, it's perfectly acceptable to say you are not comfortable responding. There's no reason you should reveal personal information to a neighbour or colleague. If your reserved attitude comes off as cold, that's not your problem. You have plenty of confidants in your inner circle.

A possessive attitude towards friends will cause problems in your social circle. Just because someone you know is making new friends does not mean your presence is undervalued. Fill your time with activities you enjoy. Taking up a hobby or sport will lift your spirits. It's hard to feel threatened when you're keeping busy. Mastering a craft or game will attract at least one exciting job offer. Someone who is impressed by your intense focus thinks you are a good fit for their company.

Don't throw a fit when you're not given a plum assignment at work. If your talent is being overlooked, start looking for a better position. The best revenge will be leaving your current job for one that pays better and has more prestige. There is a chance you aren't prepared to handle certain responsibilities. To gain the necessary experience, think about taking a business course or try your hand as an intern to a successful business person. Take ownership of your professional fate.
