Don't let jealousy ruin a close relationship. If your best friend, lover, or business partner expresses an interest in a new subject, you don't have to feel threatened. Actually, the more you encourage your nearest and dearest to explore their hobbies, the closer you will become. You don't like it when people boss you around. Why should your friends be any different? It's possible a love affair is showing signs of strain. Maybe it's time the two of you switched chores to see how the other half lives.

Sometimes you expect too much of the other people in your life, and the result is disappointing. When a friend fails to follow through on a promise, you have to reassess your relationship demands. You've always prided yourself on keeping your word, but others don't share your high minded ways. Take this into account when you team up with friends. The ones who have proven their loyalty are worth your trust. The others need to be treated with a lighter hand.

If you're going to find the romance you desire, you should take extra care with your appearance. You've been blessed with natural good looks, but need to play them up. Learning how to dress in a way that enhances your best features is critical. Reach out to a fashionable Libra for tips if you're not sure what to do. If you've always been fashion conscious, but have neglected your appearance lately, ask why. Don't let a busy schedule ruin your enjoyment of life.

It will be impossible to find leisure time. There is simply too much work to be done. If you manage to get through half of your list of things to do, you'll be in good shape. Resist the urge to sneak off with a bunch of irresponsible colleagues. They'll be caught and forced to pay for their mistakes. Meanwhile, you'll be at your desk, working away, putting yourself in line for a promotion. It will be another few days before you can enjoy a relaxing interlude.

You've always been very generous, and this has caused some problems. Someone who thinks you're a pushover will ask you to do a job for very little money. At first, this will seem like a reasonable request. You like donating your services to good causes. Upon closer examination you'll realise the other members of the team are being paid handsomely for their work. Stop selling yourself short and demand the compensation you deserve. The days of giveaways are over.

If an arrangement isn't working out, you're willing to walk away. This attitude has given you a reputation for being fickle, but nothing could be further from the truth. It's just that you value your time and won't waste it on unworthy pursuits. A relative or neighbour will try to talk you into granting them a favour. Be very wary about lending them your hard earned cash or being inveigled into joining in their plans and schemes. You work too hard for your money to waste it on an irresponsible spendthrift.

Your love and affection will be rejected, which is really hurtful. It gives you pleasure to wait on the people you adore, but they remain indifferent to these gestures. Instead of sitting around and pouting, go out and do something nice for yourself. Go on a lavish shopping spree, treat yourself to a gourmet meal, or take a relaxing holiday. Once others see you treating yourself well, they'll follow your lead. Meanwhile, stop working so hard for outside approval.

Passion could get away from you. Although you feel strongly about a certain group endeavour, there's no way you can control the proceedings. You'll just have to accept the leader's decision and go with it. Resist the temptation to drop out, as this association will be of tremendous benefit. An impressive executive will notice your contribution and offer you a job. It just goes to show that every cloud has a silver lining. Vow to move forward and don't look back.

It's important to set boundaries in your professional life. Although you want to do a good job, that doesn't give your boss carte blanche to call you at all hours. Even if you work in emergency services, you must have some time that is strictly your own. Your nearest and dearest are starting to feel like second class citizens. That's because you're always skipping out on social occasions for the sake of your job. If this continues, your social circle will dwindle to a dot.

It's difficult to achieve the intimacy your partner desires. You're very reserved by nature, and have a hard time letting down your guard, even with the people you love most. Being more open and understanding can be helpful. The worst thing that could happen is you will be disappointed. What's more likely to happen is that your amour will show their loyalty in meaningful ways. Aren't you tired of feeling like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? Share the burden with someone who cares.

All work and no play will soon begin to get you down and dampen your spirit. You may justify those long hours at the office as a desire to support your loved ones, but they don't see it that way. Your friends and family want your time, not your money. Yes, it's noble to work hard and pay the bills. When you become so obsessed with career matters that you neglect your personal life, a problem will occur. Start scaling back your professional responsibilities in favour of family.

Relationships aren't always thrilling. At times, they can be downright boring. Try not to take a lover to task if things have become routine. You can always spice things up by proposing new lovemaking techniques. If your partner is resistant, it may be because they want a little more courtship. Making more time for intimate conversation and cuddling will have a good effect. Are you single? You could meet someone special at a lecture or bookstore. Don't pretend to be something you're not.
