Resist the urge to blow a huge wad of cash on an overpriced fad; you are confusing status with self worth. It may be difficult to reveal an unpleasant truth to someone, but consider what troubles will unfold if you don t speak up now. Your relationship isn't worth preserving if your pal or partner holds you responsible for matters that are beyond your control.

If you have a pressing issue to discuss with an authority figure, present your case today. The topics you discuss may be personally embarrassing, but it s important to resolve this issue before it starts affecting your work. You have no choice but to stand in your own defence when it feels like the whole world is against you. Try not to get emotional.

Mercury, your ruling planet, is squared by austere Saturn, causing you to regret a lost educational opportunity. Stop crying over spilt milk and make arrangements to correct the problem. Portraying yourself as a victim of circumstances will not win you any sympathy from others. Take control of your destiny for tomorrow the sun shines again.

You may not be granted any favours with regard to a long-standing debt, so take steps to pay it off as quickly as possible. Having this matter hanging over your head can prevent you from realising your goals. Sexual thoughts could distract you from doing the best job you can. Perhaps some brisk exercise will help burn off the tension!

Public relations is the name of the game now. If you are on the look out for a job, bring along your c.v., work samples, and a list of references. Preparation is half the battle. Just remember to project yourself with energy and enthusiasm. A problem with bureaucracy shouldn¹t be allowed to overshadow your overall goal which has so much potential.

Playing the martyr is a dangerous game, especially now Mercury is challenged by hard-hearted Saturn. Colleagues will have more respect for you if you don t let others take advantage of your good nature. You won¹t feel compelled to spend every spare moment at work when you lead a fulfilling private life. Why are you reluctant to spend time alone?

Emotional blackmail is not the way to go with regard to a romantic relationship; stop trying to manipulate your partner. Your love is destined to wane if you persist with this jealous behaviour. If you don t have a sweetheart, it may be because you re unwilling to open up to others. Intimacy requires trust. Don t be so defensive.

It may feel as though those you love aren't giving you the support and respect you deserve. Stop and think how your behaviour has caused your relatives to lose faith in you. The best way to remedy the situation is to cease any irresponsible behaviour. Be honest with yourself; have you honoured your commitments in a consistent fashion?

Don t insist on doing things a certain way if it s extremely inconvenient for your friends or colleagues. You've got to learn when to bend the rules and when to play by the book. People will be more likely to trust your judgement when you show that you value their contributions. Besides, it s never a good idea to cultivate enemies.

Financial responsibilities could interfere with your love life now that Mercury and the Sun clash with your governor Saturn. It may be best to postpone a romantic vacation for the sake of paying off this debt. On the plus side, good news in the fiscal part of your chart helps you to come up with some ingenious, creative ways to increase your income.

It could feel as though someone is trying to sabotage your efforts to get ahead right now. Surrounding yourself with supportive people is essential if you re going to meet your goals. Therefore, you may want to remove yourself from a hostile living situation for the next day or two. Arrange to stay with a friend or neighbour. Depression is a formidable foe.

A person may be wilfully misunderstanding you, so don t bother to get into a protracted battle. You re better off minding your own business. The person in question will amend their behaviour when they see it s not affecting you. In the meantime, devote your attention to activities that renew and sustain your spirits, using both hands and mind is a goer.
