Your ideas aren't very popular. People resent being forced to follow oppressive rules. The more freedom you give them to do their work, the more they will respect you. Matters of safety and financial transparency are different. In these cases, you should be firm. Continual frustrations tempt you to walk away from a stressful job. Resist this urge, as it will reflect badly on you. By finishing what you have started, you'll attract a much better position at a stable company.

An expert isn't impressed with your work, thinking it is amateurish. There is some validity to this criticism, but it still stings. Instead of lashing out at these remarks, take them to heart. Getting an advanced degree will improve your performance and command respect. An unexpected problem with a bureaucratic agency will force you to make a new plan. It isn't easy for you to be flexible; you're convinced your original idea is best. Stop mourning what might have been and take a fresh approach.

Money from an inheritance, legal settlement or insurance refund will be delayed. It may be necessary to get legal advice to help you get the money that is rightfully yours. Be patient and find another way to pay your bills. You're resourceful when backed into a corner. A friend's erratic behaviour is worrying you. It's possible they're in the grips of an addiction or obsession. No matter how you try to talk reason to them, they cling to their unreasonable beliefs. Wish them well and walk away.

This isn't a good time to sign a contract or enter an agreement. You're dealing with someone who insists on having everything their own way. This simply isn't fair. You'll do much better operating as a free agent than hitching yourself to their star. If you're worried about the stability of your employer, start looking elsewhere for a job. It will take time to find a position that is worthy of your talent, so be patient. Opportunities involving air travel, computers or hi-tech gadgets are looking especially good.

Your attitude has a tremendous impact on your health. If you feel tired and irritable, turn your thoughts to a pleasing memory, inspiring plan or sensual pleasure. The better you feel, the easier it will be for your system to thrive. Are you having difficulty adapting to some unwanted changes? Rather than dwelling on your disappointment, look for the silver lining to this situation. Under the old system, you were forced to conform to limiting rules. Now you're able to act more freely. That's an improvement.

Being too competitive is undermining potential friendships. Just because you share an interest with someone does not mean you should be rivals. You've mastered certain aspects of this subject, while they're more adept at others. Together, you can produce some wonderful work. A trusted friend will betray a secret. It's difficult not to be angry at this treachery. Before lashing out, think about the situation from their point of view. Perhaps they were trying to save you from self-defeating behaviour.

Your family is trying to downplay your emotions. You're tired of apologising for anger, grief or sadness. The next time someone claims you are exaggerating, stand your ground. You're a sensitive person whose emotions can serve a powerful guidance system. The more you respect these impulses, the happier you will be. Instead of getting involved in jobs and relationships that make you miserable, you'll find opportunities that fill you with happiness. Best of all, you won't be consumed by regret.

It's hard to get your point across. You're taking a practical approach while your neighbours are reacting emotionally. No matter how much you try to appeal to their reason, you will fail. Turn your attention to a more rewarding pursuit. Entering a contest of skill will be wonderfully diverting. You might not earn the top prize, but you will earn respect. Many of your rivals will become friends. It will be refreshing to deal with people who make judgements based on ability, not appearance.

Disagreements about money are creating problems in a relationship. You see cash as a form of energy, while your loved one sees it as a symbol of worth. As a result, you react very differently when faced with financial challenges. Your self-esteem is constant, regardless of your bank balance. This confidence allows you to find new sources of income. Your other half doesn't have this ability, making it difficult for them to recover from economic setbacks. Insulate yourself from their self-defeating attitude.

Your authoritative tone is being misunderstood. Instead of seeming confident, you're perceived as bossy. As a result, it will be very hard to get support for a bold proposal. You must change your approach to be successful. Show respect for people's intelligence. Pattern your behaviour after a relative who always valued your opinions, even when you were very young. Showing a similar kind of consideration could turn the tide in your favour. The public wants to be convinced, not coerced.

Don't get drawn into an intrigue. The last thing you want is to have your reputation tarnished by someone else's bad behaviour. Anyone who thinks you will lie on their behalf is in for a bitter disappointment. You believe that honesty is the best policy. Upsetting news about a relative or neighbour will cause you to view them in a different light. When assessing someone's character, actions always speak louder than words. Resist the temptation to sweep this matter under the rug.

An argument with a friend is weighing on your heart. You tend to put your loved ones on pedestals. When they fall short of your ideals, you become disillusioned. Instead of dwelling on your disappointment, exercise compassion. Nobody is perfect. A source of steady income will suddenly dry up. This will force you to find a new way to make money. Be open to venturing into an entirely new industry. Your experience and skills are easily transferrable. This change of pace will be good for you.
