You're getting lots of conflicting information. It's hard to know what to think about someone who says one thing and then does another. Keeping this deceptive individual at arm's length would be wise. You don't want to be a victim of their tall tales. While this liar is undeniably charming, they'll do everything in their power to get their way. If that means cheating somebody else, so be it. Don't think you will be an exception to their self-interested rule.

You won't be able to fix a problem by throwing money at it. Someone who is in real pain needs your time and attention. Stop what you are doing and have a heart to heart discussion. If a youngster has been playing up, get into the habit of having regular outings together. By getting involved in their life, you'll gain a better understanding of their behaviour. Slowly but surely, you'll notice their rebellious energy being put towards more productive channels.

Pushing a loved one too far will be cause for regret. Although you want a good friend, romantic or business partner to go on a certain direction, you can't actually force them to do anything. By showing respect for their autonomy, you will preserve your relationship. Forcing them to obey your command will result in a permanent rift. Why are you making such a big issue out of such a small thing? Is it because you are afraid of losing control?

A malicious person is trying to confuse you. They might pretend to be your friend and then disparage one of your colleagues. Instead of forming an alliance, keep this troublemaker at arm's length. Their amiable behaviour will turn ugly as soon as you do something that doesn't fit with their agenda. With friends like this, who needs enemies? You're very good at working with people from all walks of life, but you draw the line at maintaining relationships with toxic individuals.

Don't resort to devious methods to gain access to an organisation. There's a good chance a group will reject you on the basis of superficial considerations. If that's the case, you don't want to be involved with such an association. Forming your own club will be a great way around your problem. By joining forces with fellow rejects, you will build a team of talented people who are a cut above everyone else. This will be the best revenge.

It won't be possible to reach a professional goal at this point. Family responsibilities demand you spend more time at home. Although this is a bitter pill to swallow, you will go where you are needed. This should be a source of pride. Helping a relative overcome an illness or find proper treatment is a noble use of your organisational skills. Once you meet this responsibility, you can turn your attention back to your career. Undertaking two major tasks at once will only lead to defeat.

You feel ashamed about things you did in the past. Although you can't turn back the clock, you can make karmic amends. Get into the habit of committing to performing a random act of kindness each day. This could be anything from putting a coin in a parking meter that is about to expire to donating supplies to an animal shelter to buying a meal for a homeless person. Don't demand credit for these generous acts. The noblest acts are anonymous.

You won't be able to do what you want. Having to participate in an unfair system will be galling. It's time to make a decision. Do you stay in a secure situation that stresses you out or do you strike in a new direction? If you have serious debts, it would be better to keep a steady job. Set a deadline by which to pay a bill. Once you have met your financial obligations, you'll be able to move on to bigger and better things. It's a week for careful thinking and serious decisions.

Laziness will get you in trouble with a loved one. Not pulling your weight is causing serious problems for your best friend, romantic partner or workmate. Until you own up to your irresponsible behaviour, things will continue to deteriorate. Stop putting your needs first. Instead of doing the bare minimum poorly, strive to do your best. Do things without being asked. Take some jobs off your friend's plate. The resentment that has been building will be replaced by kindness and consideration.

You've reached a stalemate at work. Instead of pressing your agenda, make a strategic retreat. You don't want to be dismissed from a job by a tetchy boss. If you can no longer stand working in a place that makes you feel uncomfortable and undervalued, start looking for a new job. Don't announce your plans. Operating by stealth is the best way to escape a bad situation with minimal damage to yourself. Starting your own business will be a great way to develop your leadership skills.

Someone who has been flattering you has mad motives. Be on alert for a request for money or an alibi. It's coming soon. Helping out a slick trickster will give you a cause for regret. They'll have no problem blaming you for their problems at the first sign of trouble. See how they react when you politely turn down their demands. An angry outburst will reveal their true character. You're dealing with a manipulative individual. Keep your distance. Nothing good will come from this relationship.

Take precautions with regard to home safety. Replace a faulty lock, install bright lights along the perimeter of your place and keep valuables hidden from view. The last thing you want is to fall victim to theft because of sheer carelessness. It's also important to keep track of your possessions at work. Never keep your wallet in a place where others can access it. Someone could use your credit card information for a long time without your knowledge. Financial security begins with common sense.
