You have too much to do and hardly any time to dispatch your duties. Stay calm, especially when colleagues start breathing down your neck. Patience has never been your strong suit, but that doesn't give you license to fly into a rage. Take deep breaths and count to ten when provoked. A secret enemy is watching and waiting for you to make a mistake. Don't give them the satisfaction. If you meet even half of the deadlines you've been given, you'll be rewarded.

Trying to take control of a group outing will be an exercise in futility. Irrational people will insist on following an ill advised course. There's nothing you can do but wish them well and go your own way. Some may call you a party pooper, but they'll soon wish they had followed your lead. You hate to be a wet blanket, but you know a disastrous plan when you hear one. Too bad everybody else seems intent on defying time, space and reason.

You're sick and tired of suffering at the hands of people who have been promoted beyond their competence. Although they may have a great reputation all their accomplishments are the result of talented assistants. You've probably contributed to these successes, but have yet to get any credit. This is a sign you need to move on. Running your own business is a distinct possibility. If you already have one, it's time to back away from a venture that keeps losing money.

Sometimes you just want to vent, but well intentioned people don't understand this. Instead of listening to your complaints, they'll offer solutions to your dilemma. This can be really infuriating. After all, you know how to solve your own problems. It's just the cumulative effect of these dilemmas is causing stress. You need an outlet for your frustration. Instead of confiding in friends, relatives and neighbours, keep a diary. Let this be the place where you pour out your feelings.

Someone will try to back out of a financial deal that serves you well. Don't be so quick to give in to their demands. After all, you fought long and hard to get the terms you wanted. It would be a shame to waste all that hard work. You don't like to see anyone suffer. In truth, the person you're dealing with always resorts to these tactics when things go wrong. So far, they've been lucky others have fallen for their sob stories. Be the exception to this rule.

Having to clean up a partner's messes has become a bore. It's time to turn over a new leaf. If your business partner or amour refuses to change their ways, it may be time to separate. You're incredibly organised and efficient. That doesn't mean you should do the lion's share of the work all the time. Team up with someone who is willing to give, as well as receive. If you keep working at this rate, you'll crash and burn. There's a limit to even your generosity.

You won't be able to express your displeasure about a colleague's lazy ways. If you say something, you'll be branded a troublemaker. Keep your complaints to yourself and focus on doing the best job you possibly can. Eventually, your boss will see who is producing the lion's share of the work. At that point, you'll be given a raise or promotion, while the underachievers will be shown the door. Bide your time and hope for better things. This is just a phase.

Arguments have a way of occurring over the silliest problems. Resist the urge to lash out at someone who makes an innocent mistake. If a loved one is getting on your nerves, pause to remember all the wonderful things they bring to your life. Someone who keeps making the same mistake needs a gentle hand. Getting tough with them will only prolong the problem. Look at this situation as a challenge to give unconditional love. It's the best gift you can give to a young person finding their way.

Having to tell an adult to follow the rules has become tiring. Reining in this rebel is undermining your zest for life. You'd rather have fun than play the enforcer. Unfortunately, if you look the other way at their bad behaviour, chaos will break out. Blow off steam at the end of the day with friends. They'll remind you what is important in life. A passive aggressive relative is trying to manipulate you with exaggerated claims about their health. Take their complaints with a pinch of salt.

The old routine is terribly boring, but it must be carried out. It's important to uphold high standards. If you don't, young people will start slacking off. Pretty soon, their shoddy work will reflect badly on you. You've always been a fantastic leader. While you enjoy being at the top of the heap, you hate having to tighten the screws. Keep doing what is required. By the time you are ready to hand in a project, you'll reap the impressive rewards of a job well done.

Power struggles over money will break out. Although you're not a materialistic person, you are determined to get your fair share. If that means having to call a lawyer, so be it. Someone who has underestimated you is in for a nasty surprise. Beneath your cool demeanour beats the heart of an impassioned visionary. When your principles are challenged, you go into battle mode. Resist the urge to resort to underhanded tactics. You'll prevail if you play by the book.

Someone who has been badgering you will get an earful. You're sick and tired of being pushed into a decision. You will render a choice when it feels right and not a second before. If a salesperson is trying to make you sign a contract, you're right to hesitate. The last thing you need is to relinquish your interests for the sake of keeping the peace. Confrontation has never been your strong suit. It is sometimes necessary, especially when you're dealing with immoral people.
