You tend to withdraw when you feel hurt. Don't make this mistake now. The company of loyal friends will help you recover from a loss. If someone you trusted has let you down, it's important to think through your role in this dynamic. Did you harbour unrealistic expectations of this relationship? Were you too generous to someone who was unworthy of your affection? In the future, be a little more discerning about making new friends and stick close to the people who have always been good to you.

A friend hasn't been honest about their situation, which is dismaying. If you've been lending someone money on the premise they have been the victim of an unfair decision, stop. You have better uses for your hard earned cash. Don't worry about seeming callous to the outside world. Onlookers will soon realise a seeming martyr is actually their own worst enemy. It may be best to break off contact until they've received treatment for an addiction or mental problem.

You'll be put in charge of a big project, but won't be given any direction. This is incredibly frustrating but predictable. Authority figures often dump problem assignments in your lap, since you're so adept at finding solutions. Instead of waiting around for your superior's approval, just forge ahead. You'll be able to find a way around a staffing shortage or budget constraint. Be sure to ask for a raise or promotion when you bring this assignment to completion.

A charismatic person will try to convert you to their cause or belief system. Be wary about attending any gatherings with this character. The last thing you need is to be pressured into making a donation to a questionable cause. Besides, you have a perfectly solid belief system of your own. There's a lot of truth to the adage, If it ain't broke, don't fix it.' A good friend will invite you on an all expenses paid break. This is just the change of scenery you've been craving.

Review your credit card statements with a fine toothed comb. You don't want to get hit with an unreasonable fee or unfair charge. You'd be surprised how many errors like this can occur. You're the only one with a vested interest in preventing them; don't expect the company to police these records for you. A job with good benefits is coming your way. This will be a great source of stability for you and your family. If you're single, you might want to think about settling down with someone special.

Take a loved one's sob story with a pinch of salt. It's possible your friend fears what you will say if they admit they dropped the ball. You have to admit, you are a stickler for the rules. When people disobey them, you become really angry. It's time to realise you will never be able to reform a rebel. Part of the reason you were drawn to this character is because of their wild ways. Stop behaving as their taskmaster and adopt a laid back attitude.

Your system is weaker than usual, so take extra care in promoting good health. Stay away from junk food and opt for nourishing soups and salads instead. Get enough sleep, even if it means skipping a few chores. Avoid stressful situations whenever possible. The last thing you need is to get in a fight about the household budget. It also helps to adopt an optimistic outlook. Don't worry about situations beyond your control. They will be resolved without any involvement from you.

Beware of idolising the one you love. Having unrealistic expectations of a partner will put a terrible burden on your relationship. Prepare for them to mess up. Instead of expecting them to change their behaviour, alter your own demands. This may mean doing a greater share of work or lowering your housecleaning standards, but so be it. The atmosphere will become a lot more loving once you lighten up. Are you single? Beware of taking a suitor's story at face value.

Old memories are weighing on your mind. It's hard to get past some nasty comments a relative made when you were a child. There's no reason you should forgive this rude behaviour, but you do need to move past it. Stop allowing these incidents to affect the way you live. If you're afraid of pursuing a certain career for fear of looking foolish, push past your anxiety. You owe it to yourself to build the life you want.

Have an official document checked and double checked by a lawyer before signing it. You'll have to hire someone who is loyal to you. Don't trust a company attorney. There will be clauses that work against your best interests. Make sure to have these items eliminated from the agreement, or you will lose a great deal of money and freedom. Fortunately, an attentive admirer is waiting in the wings to shower you with affection. Let them pamper and pet you after hours.

Keep track of financial statements and receipts, for you will need proof of a purchase later. If you stumble across a sale, make sure you know the return policy. The last thing you need is to get stuck with faulty merchandise. It's also possible a raise that was promised will fail to come through. This comes as a real disappointment, as you had already made plans to spend the extra cash. Fortunately, a generous relative will come to your aid, buying you an expensive household item.

You're extremely impressionable, so stay away from a relative who always puts you down. It won't be easy to laugh off their backhanded compliments. Instead of subjecting yourself to abuse, pick up a book that always makes you feel good. Watch a funny movie. Reach out to an optimistic friend. Do whatever you can to stay positive. You might have to blow off a whining colleague or needy neighbour, but that's all right. You can't be the sounding board for every crank in the area.
