Don't give yourself too much credit for a professional victory. This achievement is the result of a group effort. If you fail to get a raise or promotion, stay calm. A better opportunity will arrive when you adopt a humble attitude. Learning from your mistakes has never been your strong suit. You're always willing to make a fresh attempt, hoping for a different outcome. Instead of following the old formula, try another approach. You'll be delightfully surprised at how effective it is.

Beware of putting your faith in a guru who claims to have all the answers. The guidance you seek lies deep in your soul. If you've felt frustrated, make a list of activities that bring you joy. Pour your energy into these activities instead. Stop making excuses for everyone else's bad behaviour. It's time you faced the truth of a relative's irresponsibility. Until this family member gets treatment for an addiction, problems will continue to escalate. The sooner you escape their grip, the better.

Legal battles could erupt over an inheritance, insurance policy or alimony question. Stop trying to handle this issue by yourself. Engage a legal professional with a good reputation. They will be worth their weight in gold. A trusted friend will give you a good recommendation. A friend's erratic behaviour is driving you to distraction. You simply can't keep coming to their rescue. The next time they call for help, turn down their request. Let them accept the consequences for their actions. It's the only way your relationship will improve.

An unfulfilled commitment needs to be addressed. Someone who keeps insisting they will deliver the work they promised is taking advantage of you. It's time to take legal action. Although you'd rather settle this matter amicably, you're not dealing with an honest person. Stop worrying about standing apart from the crowd. One of your greatest assets is your creativity. Copying other formulas doesn't hold much interest. You'd rather embark on new territory. Some people will make fun of your methods, but you'll have the last laugh.

Drifting from job to job won't allow you to cultivate the wealth you desire. It's time to take a serious position with lots of growth opportunity. Be thoughtful and targeted in your employment search. Apply only to companies that have good reputations. Don't be upset if you're not getting the love and adoration you crave. The object of your affection is struggling with some serious problems. Instead of snubbing them, ask what is wrong. They'll appreciate your sympathetic ear.

Have you recently experienced disappointment in love? Be good to yourself. By treating yourself with the unconditional love you deserve, you'll attract a worthy partner. Satisfy your sensual desires with a gourmet meal, spa treatment or new fragrance. Suffering doesn't suit you. If you already have a partner, be as steady and supportive as you can. It's possible your amour will experience a financial setback. Remind them that it's not the end of the world. Love will help you weather this storm together.

Sentimentality can keep you from enjoying the present moment. Rather than yearning to live in another time, take stock of all the marvellous things the current age offers. You must admit that you enjoy the comfort modern conveniences can bring. Confrontation isn't your strong suit. Unless you address a growing problem, a close relationship will suffer. Don't be afraid to assert your needs. You're always looking for ways to make your partner comfortable. It's only fair that you get the same consideration.

Intellectual snobbery will get you in trouble. A new neighbour or colleague is a lot smarter than you realise. Instead of dismissing their contributions, give them a chance to demonstrate their abilities. You'll be pleasantly surprised. Formal qualifications might not be important, experience and know how are more relevant. It's difficult to express your frustrations at work. The company may be short-staffed. You're afraid that if you complain about a colleague you'll be handed even more responsibilities.

Your bank balance isn't a reflection of your worth. Someone who is as flexible and receptive to new ideas as you will always be welcomed as a peacemaker. People from all walks of life feel like they have a friend in you. These social connections will come in very useful in times to come. Find a physical outlet for your boundless energy. Playing sports, going to the gym or gently stretching each day will be therapeutic. It's never good to sit for long periods of time, especially for a restless person like you.

A hasty decision will be cause for regret. Before making a move, think about how it will affect your family. It's better to reflect on the needs of the entire group before accepting a job, relocating to another town or getting involved in a romance. Stop imagining threats to your security. While it is true society is changing, that won't mean you will be hurt. Look for the silver lining to every cloud. Expecting things to always remain the same is unrealistic.

Beware of feeling sorry for yourself. Although you've experienced some terrible setbacks, your situation isn't much different from those of your friends and neighbours. When you experience disappointments, it's the Universe's way of telling you to change course. There's a better future ahead for you. You don't want to be tied down by a home. Moving freely suits you, but it makes your family nervous. Give your relatives all the reassurance possible by staying in regular contact. They're yearning to hear from you.

Neglecting your friends will get you in lots of trouble. Whether you realise it or not, your loved ones have helped you achieve your current success. By giving them the credit they are due, you'll go on to bigger achievements. Meet your favourite people for dinner. Be cautious and conservative about finances. This isn't a good time to take a bold risk. Keep your hard-earned cash in the bank, where it belongs. It sounds boring, but that's better than losing your nest egg to a get rich quick scheme.
