A narrow minded attitude is undermining your relationship with a colleague. Although you have very little in common, there's no reason you cannot work together. Set aside your differences for the sake of professionalism. Avoid topics that make you upset. If you're dealing with someone who is trying to impose their beliefs, explain you are not open to such conversation. If the problem persists, talk to your superior. You have a right to do your job without being pestered about personal matters.

A heavy fine or tax bill will take a toll on your bank account. Take this opportunity to devise ways to avoid such expenses in the future. This could include anything from taking out an insurance policy, setting aside a little time each day to carefully go through the mail and putting yourself on a long-term payment plan. You're highly practical. Putting safety measures in place to protect your finances is strongly advised. Steps you take today will keep future disasters from happening.

Lawsuits and legal difficulties are slowing you down. The sooner you resolve these conflicts, the better. It would be better to settle out of court than undergo a hearing. Although you bristle at the injustice of this matter, it's important to be realistic about the stakes. You may not be able to afford a lengthy dispute. Conserve your financial and emotional resources by moving in a different direction. Those who have been blocking your path will get their just desserts when they least expect it.

Unpleasant work conditions are dampening your spirits. Instead of staying with an employer that doesn't care about the comfort of its staff, move on to greener pastures. It will take time to find a position that is worthy of your talent, so be patient. In the meantime, continue to go into work and do what is expected of you. Stop getting involved in emotional dramas that drain your energy. You have better things to do than obsess over a measly job.

This is not a good time to take risks. An investment that sounds like a sure thing will not pan out. It's better to keep your money safe in the bank, where it can slowly gain interest. As far as your love life is concerned, don't make a move on the object of your affection. Your feelings are unrequited; it's better to adopt a friendly but detached attitude towards this relationship. Don't worry; you will meet someone who thinks you are absolutely wonderful. Be patient.

It's hard to be enthusiastic about the future with so many family responsibilities on your plate. Instead of obsessing about all the work that must be done, take things one step at a time. Breaking down tasks into small increments appeals to your fine eye for detail. Your relatives will try to hand you more responsibility after you dispatch a complicated job. Don't take the bait. You've made many personal sacrifices to help your nearest and dearest. Once you've done your part, take a rest.

Negative thinking will make a challenging situation worse. Instead of dreading dealing with an obnoxious person, treat this encounter as a task that must be crossed off your list of things to do. Taking a detached approach will release this pest's power over you. Whenever you tackle an unpleasant job, take some time to decompress afterward. Listen to beautiful music, take a nature walk or cuddle your pet. Being good to yourself will keep despondency at bay. Make a choice to be happy.

Money will be tight. Scaling back your social life will help you build up savings. It's not necessary to go to restaurants and clubs to stay connected with friends. Invite loved ones over for a home cooked meal or arrange to meet in the park. Be honest about your situation. Trying to maintain a lifestyle that is out of bounds is exhausting. When your trusted confidantes understand your situation, they'll work hard to arrange inexpensive outings that everyone can enjoy.

You lack the self-confidence to take a public stance. People who have mocked your ideas in the past will welcome the opportunity to do so again. There is a difference this time. Although your ideas continue to fall outside the mainstream, they do appeal to a group of people that keeps getting bigger and bigger. By appealing to their consciences, you'll gain a big following.. With patience and persistence, you will pave the way to a more just future.

Resist the temptation to retreat to a private hideaway. Although you've recently experienced a terrible disappointment, isolating yourself won't help the situation. Reach out to supportive friends and relatives. Their kind, encouraging words will bolster your courage. Instead of running from the next challenge, you'll meet it squarely. This refusal to give up will win the admiration of your rivals. They're learning you aren't easily defeated. It's this persistence that will cultivate impressive success.

Don't enter into a friendship unless you truly enjoy the other person's company. Forming relationships for purely personal gain will reflect badly on you. At times, you feel like you're losing ground to others in your desired field. Don't fall prey to such negative thinking. Trust your own abilities to achieve the success you desire. Once people realise how talented, imaginative and intelligent you are, they'll seek your company. Soon, you'll have a network of friends to support you.

A fall from power is humbling. Instead of wallowing in shame, treat this situation as a learning experience. You tend to sweep problems under the rug when you're in trouble. Erring on the side of transparency is a much better way to go. When you make a mistake or detect a shortfall, notify your superiors. Don't get defensive; simply explain what happened in a clear, logical manner. People will help you if you're straight with them. Remember this the next time you're compelled to hide the truth.
