Normally, you have boundless energy and can do the work of three people. That will change when exhaustion overcomes you. Instead of fighting this trend, give in to it. Your body is telling you it needs rest. By failing to obey its warnings, you will suffer serious burnout. Take the day off work so you can catch up on sleep. Ask a colleague, relative or roommate to assume your chores. Cancel an appointment you've been dreading. Exercise some compassion towards yourself; you deserve it.

Beware of cutting off your nose to spite your face. It's understandable you resent an oppressive authority figure. Every time they ask your opinion, you give it and they reject your advice. This feels degrading. Instead of getting drawn into their mind games, find a way out. If this means leaving your job, moving to another place or starting your own business, do it. Life is too short to waste on manipulative people. Seek greener pastures and more congenial company.

You're taking too long to make a decision. If you keep dragging your feet, you'll be left with poor choices. Don't let rivals take the best resources and positions. What you really fear is change. You are happy with the way things are and resent having to abandon this situation. The sooner you come to terms with this impending transition, the better. Great things are ahead, but you have to be in the right mood to receive them. Stop expecting gloom and doom to meet you at every juncture.

The prospect of confronting a difficult relative is frightening. You want to be respectful towards older people. Some individuals make this impossible. There's no reason you should be gracious to someone who is unkind, stubborn and demanding. Instead of trying to make them happy, satisfy your own needs instead. Do the bare minimum for your family member. If they complain, don't make excuses. Simply explain you have more pressing matters to attend. Don't get drawn into a row.

You're extremely emotional, laughing with joy one minute and crying in anger at the next. These mood swings are bewildering, especially to children. Try not to play hot and cold with your loved ones. Tell them you're having difficulty processing the changes in your life. They'll be happy to support you. Finding a distraction from your problems will be soothing. Play an engrossing game or sport. Watch a movie with an intricate plot. Do some handiwork requiring close attention. This, too, shall pass.

You have a perverse desire to stir up trouble. Someone who continually brags about their wealth is wearing on your nerves. Teasing them about their extravagant ways will take the wind out of their sails. It will also bother your conscience. A thoughtful person like you doesn't take much pleasure in tormenting others. If you want to put an end to this situation, be honest. Tell the individual how uncomfortable discussions of money make you. Better yet, find more amusing company.

It feels like life has been unkind. Resist the urge to destroy something valuable out of sheer spite. Don't let your enemies see you sweat. If bullies think you are immune to their abuse, they'll find another target. You're in a difficult situation that isn't easy to handle. Fortunately, you're extremely logical. Take a deep breath and let upsetting emotions wash through you. After you've processed your sadness, you can develop a sensible solution to your problem. Relocating could be in the cards.

An authority figure takes pleasure in undermining your confidence. Their backhanded compliments and teasing remarks are beginning to get under your skin. Although you lack the power to bring them to justice, you can escape their influence. It'll take a lot of effort on your part, but your work will pay off. You're an extremely talented person so don't give your power away to unimaginative types. Find an employer or supervisor who brings out the best in you.

A cunning person isn't being honest with you. If you see a difference between what they say and do, you should be on alert. Every time they are confronted about their broken promises, they are always ready with an excuse. After a while, it will become evident this is either the unluckiest person in the world or a big liar. Don't fall victim to their deceitful behaviour. Make a break as soon as possible. Be abrupt and don't let the process drag out.

Stop pretending everything is fine. There are serious problems that should be attended. The sooner you face the truth of the situation, the less damage it will inflict. It may be necessary to confront a relative about their addictions or discuss a partner's irresponsible spending. Your words will be met with anger and derision, but that's better than being treated like a fool. Let a manipulative individual know that you know exactly what's happening.

After a string of disappointments, it's tempting to complain. Instead of laying the blame at someone else's door, take full responsibility for your situation. The sooner you take control of your destiny, the happier you will be. Although you have no influence over other people's behaviour, you can adjust your own behaviour. Challenge people who treat you in a disrespectful manner. Don't mix with people who take advantage of you. Stand up for yourself if accused of doing things you didn't do.

It feels like your hard work is going unrewarded. The problem could rest with you. Your superiors have asked you to change your approach, but you've refused to take their advice. This has caused you to fall behind the competition. Stop insisting your methods are better. Meet the standards that have been set. It isn't weak to follow the rules. By showing you are capable of taking direction; you'll see an immediate improvement. Some leaders really do know what they're talking about.
