You're highly disciplined when it comes to work. This is admirable, but you can take it too far. When you always defer to the needs of your boss, other areas of life get neglected. It's so important to spend quality time with your family. You may not realise it, but they long for your company. Because you've been so thoroughly wrapped up in your job, it will take time to get back into your relatives' good graces. Be patient.

At times, you become so worried about the state of the world that you lose sleep. Take some deep breaths to adjust your perspective. Stop getting drawn into a nonstop news cycle that would have us believe we are doomed. Turn your attention to life's little pleasures. The simple act of planning a garden can remind you of the true meaning of life. There will be good harvests and bad, but through it all we endure. Stop taking your cues from the media and tune into nature's messages instead.

You've undergone some dramatic changes, which is impressive. Before embarking on a new programme of self-improvement, take time to catch your breath. You should get acclimatised to the new life you've created before making further adjustments. It's especially important to attend to the needs of your special someone. When you are considerate about their thoughts and feelings, they'll let down their defences. At that point, your relationship will burst into flower. Do you have a partner? Take a relaxing holiday together.

Learning to trust yourself has been an interesting journey. Instead of turning to your nearest and dearest for help at the first sign of trouble, you've come to rely on your own instincts. This has been liberating. Give yourself credit for having mastered an important life lesson. Now you're more self-assured, you will be a better friend, partner, colleague and relative. It will be easier to help others without feeling oppressed or overwhelmed. The best relationships strike a healthy balance between giving and taking.

You've been very good about adopting a humble attitude towards work. Instead of demanding the superstar treatment, you've learned to blend in with the crowd. Taking on difficult assignments and performing unpleasant jobs has been challenging, but you have risen to the occasion. Now you have a chance to review your options. You've paid your dues and are ready to move up the ladder to success. Look for a position that is in keeping with your impressive experience.

Raising your romantic expectations has been empowering. You're no longer willing to settle for second best. Instead of enduring lacklustre relationships, you hold out for someone special who is worthy of your love. If you're single, it's possible someone will soon enter your life that expresses interest in you. Don't be so quick to write this admirer off; they have a lot to offer. Do you already have a partner? Be willing to forgive your amour of some past transgressions. Allow yourself to fall in love all over again.

Achieving a greater level of emotional maturity has been a struggle. In the past, you were pampered and petted by people who meant well. While their attentions were flattering, they didn't prepare you for adult challenges. Instead of blaming them for this situation, take responsibility for it. It's your job to support yourself in the best way you can. If this means breaking a bad habit, taking a regular job or finding your own place to live, so be it.

There's only so much preparation you can do for an upcoming challenge. If you've studied hard and done the required reading, you should do well on a test. The bigger obstacle is being able to emotionally handle some upcoming changes. You might relocate to another area, adopt a more optimistic outlook or think differently about a social issue that used to obsess you. The important thing is to welcome the new way of life your studies have created.

Improving your income has been a labour of love. Although you're not very materialistic, you've learned to demand what you are worth. Now you're making more money, you can rest on your laurels. Take a relaxing holiday or buy a sumptuous status symbol. It's time to enjoy the fruits of your labour. If anyone dares accuse you of flaunting your wealth, give them a pitying smile. This critic is just jealous of all the progress you've made.

After a prolonged identity crisis, you have come to terms with the real you. Instead of trying to fit in with popular groups, you are content to march to the beat of your own drum. This has caused some people to break away. That's sad, but these defections have made room for more meaningful relationships. Don't be surprised when someone you knew from childhood could resurface. There's a good chance you'll renew your friendship, much to your mutual pleasure.

You're reflecting on your spiritual life. You tend to turn your attention inward when worldly matters get you down. This allows you to maintain a healthy outlook that is the envy of your friends. While you should continue to maintain an intimate connection with your reflective side, that doesn't mean you can neglect real life problems. Feel free to protest when you see disturbing social trends. People need visionaries like you to spread the message of peace, love and equality.

There's something about being an outsider that appeals to you. You've never trusted people who seem satisfied by the status quo. While raging against the machine is fun, it is also tiresome. Take a few moments to reflect on how you benefit from the system. You might think that the game is entirely rigged against you, but that's an exaggeration. There are many systems in place that make life comfortable and manageable. Don't take them lightly. When you're conscious of your blessings, they grow and multiply.
