You've never been one to suffer fools, and it's especially hard to do so now. Unfortunately, your exasperation could reflect badly on you.

Everybody else may be busy having fun and you can join them before the day is done.

A trip could cost you more than expected, but you're overdue for an adventure, so go anyway. If you personal responsibilities force you to stay home, do some armchair travelling.

Spread your wings and fly!

It's easy to be influenced by a strong-minded person who seems to know it all, but watch out. You're not the type who likes to follow anybody's lead for long. Right now, you just want to let someone to borrow the driver's seat, not brand it as their own. Stay close to old friends who understand your need to be number one.

A person with whom you work closely may accuse you of being predictable and boring. Before getting defensive, consider whether they may be right. Vary your routine, whether through trading responsibilities, trying a different kind of cuisine, or experimenting with a new style of clothing.

Torn loyalties make it difficult for you to please everybody, leaving you sad and discouraged. Instead of worrying about public opinion, just suit yourself.

It's hard to separate your emotions from those of the people who are closest to you. That's what comes of being so sensitive.

A persuasive friend could talk you into spending more money than you can afford. Keep receipts for all purchases! You're tired of being hemmed in by financial constraints, but think about your future security. Having extra funds tucked away could save you a lot of trouble down the road. Be sure to get enough rest today.

You're apt to feel unloved and misunderstood, regardless of what's going on around you. Instead of falling prey to self-pity, work on your relationships.

If you've been squandering your resources, find the reason why. The answer could be rooted in a family relationship.
