You may be the last person to notice something obvious that has been going on with friends. Instead of getting defensive, vow to be more observant. Get into the habit of listening more than you speak. Before you know it, you'll feel like a regular talk show host. Be ready to adjust to some big changes to your personal life.

Getting into petty arguments over money will prevent you from enjoying your free time. Resist the urge to provoke a fight, even if it seems like somebody is taunting you. You may be stuck in a dynamic that is destined to repeat itself. The only way to break the cycle is to change the way you react. It's all about strategy.

A worry-guts may try to get you worked up over imagined fears, so be careful. You can't afford to associate yourself with such people, especially when things are looking up for you. If you're really anxious about the future, you can always do some volunteer work. Nothing chases away the blues like doing good deeds.

Spending money won't ease the pain that is in your heart, so think before you shop. This will save you lots of cash and turmoil. There's nothing wrong with wanting luxurious possessions, but it's a different story if you're using your property as a substitute for love. Work on a strained relationship that has been nagging you.

You feel daring and adventurous, but not everybody is willing to take risks right now. It's frustrating to have your spirits dampened by others, but you have to take their point of view into account. Perhaps you're proposing plans that are really too foolhardy. On the other hand, you may need to make friends who are more spontaneous.

Suspend judgement about a person's behaviour; you may not know all the facts. Maintaining a neutral stance will work in your favour later on. Devote an hour or two to your favourite hobby. Reading a good book for sheer pleasure can recharge your batteries. Gossip magazines and romance novels can be most diverting.

Steer clear today of investing in technical equipment, as your chances for being sold a pup are strong. It's better to do some research before laying out lots of cash, anyway. Don't forget to take care of financial obligations before the work week begins; otherwise, something important could fall through the cracks, leaving you with some late fees.

You can hardly expect your loved ones to see eye-to-eye with you on every issue. Yet, sometimes you act personally offended when a friend or relative disagrees with you. Instead of trying to convert them, listen to their viewpoint. They'll feel respected and you'll be less angry. Get an early night - there's lots of work ahead!

All sorts of rumours are swirling around, making you feel unsure of a certain someone. When it comes right down to it, their actions speak louder than words. Forget all the promises this person made and focus on how they've treated you. Is it possible you've been living in denial these past few weeks? Be honest, if only with yourself.

You're usually the one everybody leans on for support, but the tables are turned. Right now, you need all the reassurance you can get. Reach out to a friend or lover who understands your deepest fears. If they aren't aware of your anxieties, you need to confess them now. Otherwise, they will continue to fester.

Folks may accuse you of being antisocial, but the truth is you're just very pensive. There are a lot of changes on the horizon, and you have to make some choices. Are your existing relationships with pursuing, or do you need to get rid of some dead weight? Spend a few quiet hours by yourself, and turn off the phone.

There's no need to rush, especially if you're at risk of having a careless accident. Insist on doing things at a steady, sensible pace, even if others are pushing you to do more. You're not the kind who works well under pressure. It may be necessary to tell someone to back off. Stop swallowing your anger and just say the words.
