Being sensitive to other people's needs will help you forge better relationships. If you're looking to ease someone's pain, ask what kind of help they could use. Your idea of assistance may not match theirs. Joining a charitable organisation will give you a clearer perspective of your own problems. Some issues you were once haunted by will fall by the wayside, whilst others could come to your attention. Don't judge your feelings; honour them.

You're starting to wonder whether a job yielding a big paycheque is really worth all of the struggle. Pursuing a job related to art or spirituality may be more suited to your talents. This transition may not be easy from a financial perspective, but it will be joyous from an emotional one. Suddenly, you'll have more energy for the people and activities you love. You're giving too much energy to activities that deplete you.

Sometimes the rational route isn't the best way to go; you've got to trust your instincts instead. This is one of those times. If a relationship looks bad on paper, but feels right in your heart, pursue it. You've always been an analytical sort of person, preferring to weigh your options carefully before making a decision. Throw caution to the wind today, especially with regard to romance. Taking up a musical instrument or experimenting with art supplies can be fun, too.

Sharing resources with others gives you a deeper sense of connection to the world. Make a small donation to charity, even if you're running low on funds. Being generous makes you open to opportunities you'd otherwise ignore. A relative who senses your pain could relieve you of a terrible burden or offer financial assistance. Don't let pride get in the way of accepting help. If you're looking for work check out careers you've never even thought about.

It feels like you can sense a partner's needs before he or she says a word because you've tuned into their body language. People always betray their true feelings with physical gestures and tics. Giving your friend verbal assurance will bolster their ego tremendously. You may not realise it, but your opinion means a great deal to them. An iron will can help you get your foot in the door of an impressive cultural institution. Don't take 'No' for an answer.

Homeopathic remedies may be more effective than traditional ones. Instead of treating the symptoms of a problem, you need to find its source. Be willing to try unorthodox therapies like guided imagery, yoga, or meditation. You may be surprised how effective such practices are. Creating a more relaxing environment at home can also be helpful. Move the television out of the bedroom. This will promote more restful sleep.

Adopting a sympathetic attitude towards a child will improve your relationship tremendously. The two of you are very different. Just because you're good at certain things doesn't mean your young friend should pattern their behaviour after yours. Enquire after their interests and be quick to recognise their achievements. You have a lot to learn from this youngster, despite their age. Let them blossom on their own terms and they will do the same for you.

Making a few adjustments to your home can have a dramatic impact on your emotions. Replace harsh, glaring lights with ones that operate on a dimmer switch. Being able to adapt the environment to your needs will give you a greater sense of control over other areas of your life. Go ahead and splurge on soft bedding and fluffy towels, too. Things you use on a daily basis have a tremendous impact on your mood.

Speak from the heart when dealing with a friend who is in distress. Sugar coating the truth will only lead to heartache. They need a hefty helping of harsh reality. Your words have more impact than you realise. After hearing your words of wisdom, your loved one may gather the courage to break a negative or even destructive pattern. One of the reasons so many people come to you for help is because they know you will give an honest answer.

Have faith that a financial situation will be resolved in your favour. The universe is beaming hidden support your way. The more anxious you are about this situation, the harder it will be to recognise job opportunities. If you keep dwelling on your bills, sit down and make a list of one hundred things for which you are grateful. Check this list whenever you start to panic. Gradually, you realise you are a lot more prosperous than you believed.

Making a personal sacrifice for the sake of the group will yield fruit. People will follow your example, helping you recoup some of your initial losses. More importantly, every member of your team will start to trust each other. Once this shift happens, the group can accomplish great things. These days, it's all too easy to fall into an 'every man for himself' mindset. The sad thing is, such an outlook prevents us from forming supportive relationships.

Have faith things will work out, especially with regard to an intimate relationship. If things were meant to be, you'll stay with your partner. If not, you'll find someone who is better suited to your needs. Shared resources could be causing conflict. The two of you need to sit down and discuss what money means to each of you. There are no right and wrong answers here; there are just competing values so you can reach a workable compromise.
