You're luckier than most, but fail to acknowledge all the blessings you enjoy. This creates resentment for those who are struggling. Resist the temptation to complain when you're with people who are trying to make ends meet. It's also important to be sensitive to someone who is struggling with a serious health problem. Dissatisfaction with luxury goods or a holiday package is small potatoes. Keep your problems in proper perspective. While you're at it, say a prayer of gratitude.

Your hands are tied with an ethical matter. Telling the authorities about illegal behaviour could get in a friend in trouble. Remaining silent will cause innocent people to be hurt. It may be best to give an anonymous tip. You hate being underhanded, but taking a public stand may expose you to danger. Your loved ones shouldn't be implicated in this disaster. At the end of the day, you'll be glad you stopped a serious injustice from being committed.

Make a decision about a financial matter. Putting off an expensive purchase can actually undermine your security. The time has come to pay for a new car, appliance or computer. Although this expense will put a dent in your budget, the shortfall will be temporary. At least you'll be able to move forward. When choosing between a well made product and a cheaper model, pick the former. It will serve well for years to come. Quality merchandise costs more for a good reason.

It will be difficult to exercise your expertise. Uninspiring jobs are the only opportunities available. This is incredibly frustrating. Resist the temptation to abandon your dreams. If you maintain a positive attitude, you'll emerge from this difficult period as a happier, healthier person. The true test of someone's character isn't how they handle success. It's how they cope with setbacks. Being inventive and intuitive will attract job offers, romantic admirers and other lucky breaks.

You're not sure how to cope with a confusing situation. Instead of trying to control matters, remain calm. Do not react to someone who is stirring the pot. By remaining indifferent to their fads and foibles they'll get discouraged and look for another victim. Some people like to create drama to feel meaningful. You're too busy to deal with such nonsense. This ability to keep a cool head will attract a moneymaking opportunity. A great job offer is worth accepting.

Sitting on the fence is no longer an option. You have to make a decision, even if it means being unpopular. Friends want you to take a certain path but it just isn't right for you. Obey your conscience and let the chips fall where they may. Some of people in your social circle will disown you. This will be a bitter pill to swallow, but at least you won't be associating with people who put their interests ahead of everyone else.

Your job has been draining. It's hard to summon the energy for the simplest tasks. Instead of trying to catch up on all the errands that fell by the wayside during the week, take a break. Relatives may criticise you for being lazy, but they have no idea how much work is on your plate. Instead of getting defensive, tune them out. You don't owe anyone an explanation. If you have to cancel plans with a child, arrange an alternative day to go out.

Your belief system is undergoing changes. People from your past will voice objections to your new outlook. Although you're grateful for their concern, you simply can't maintain old ideas. Adopting a more nuanced outlook will increase your appreciation for life. It will also bring you a level of peace that is incredibly healing. Stop heaping guilt on yourself for failing to live up to an arbitrary standard. Build your own moral code instead. You have good instincts. Follow them.

A toxic relationship is making it impossible to relax and enjoy life. It's time to cut ties with a troubled individual who likes stirring up trouble. Although your friend can be charming at times, their antics are beginning to wear thin. You like people who challenge authority, but don't appreciate those who inflict pain on innocent victims. People will be surprised when you put an end to this friendship. When asked what went wrong, maintain a tactful silence instead of spreading gossip.

It's frustrating for someone with your leadership skills to collaborate with someone else. You're used to getting your own way in all things. Continuing to do what you want will cause serious problems with your romantic or business associate. Be more considerate, even if it means slowing your pace. Nobody likes feeling like their input is ignored. The key to a successful alliance is constant communication. This is an opportunity to improve your negotiation skills.

Try to strike a healthier balance between work and home. Lots of domestic chores crowd your schedule. There may be too much responsibility for one person to handle. Be ready to hire help or delegate jobs to other members of your household. Even young children can perform simple tasks like folding laundry or putting away groceries. Although you're a highly capable person, that doesn't mean you should handle all the chores. Free your schedule so you can enjoy your leisure life.

Although you have plenty of creative talent, you lack the time to exercise it. Take this opportunity to change your priorities. Waking up an hour earlier or going to bed an hour later is strongly advised. Devote this sacred period to writing, playing music or creating designs. It doesn't matter what medium you enjoy. The important thing is to give this pursuit the respect it deserves. Continuing to neglect your imaginative impulses will create tremendous anxiety.
