It makes you feel secure to plan, but try not to go to extremes. Being spontaneous can put you in the path of love, luck and creative opportunities. If you've been looking for a job, go to a party with a friend. You may not know any of the other guests, but that shouldn't deter you from attending. An employer who is looking for someone with your abilities will offer you a job. This position is worth taking, since it will be good for you financially, socially and on many other levels as well.

It's important for you to work for people who share your sense of ethics. If you're asked to do something that goes against your moral code, speak up. Make it clear you won't be pressured into doing something that harms others. There is a chance you will lose your job. Don't worry. Being released from this position will open the doors to other opportunities. Getting a job at a philanthropic organisation will renew your faith in humanity. You'll feel a strong kinship with your new colleagues.

Resist the temptation to compare your finances with other people's wealth. You never know what is behind grand displays of money. Many people who pretend to be affluent are in serious debt. By focusing on what you have, rather than what you lack, you will attract the abundance you seek. Take a few moments each day to make a gratitude list. Not only will this deepen your appreciation for life, but it will make you more loving and generous.

You don't enjoy being patronised. If you're dealing with a romantic partner or friend who continually talks down to you, set a boundary. Make it clear you won't tolerate being treated like a child. Prepare to move on if the dynamic doesn't change. You're an accomplished person who demands respect. Do you lack companionship? Beware of embarking on a relationship with someone who prides themselves on acting superior. Hold out for a partner who is secure enough to treat everyone with respect.

You have high standards about work. Others don't always share them. Instead of getting angry at their indifference, remain philosophical. Everyone has different priorities. You would be surprised to know what many of your fellow workers are dealing with in their private lives. By being more patient and encouraging, work will become much more pleasant. It will become easier to meet deadlines and cope with power struggles. There are more important things than achieving perfection. You're a supportive person by nature; let this generosity spill into your professional life.

You're worried about expressing your true feelings. Saying what is in your heart will offend a thin-skinned friend. It's better to maintain a diplomatic silence. When you're asked for your opinion, give a noncommittal answer. The last thing you want is to have your words twisted by someone who is looking for a fight. Are you tired of walking on eggshells all the time? You might want to reconsider this relationship. Not being able to speak truthfully is taking a toll on you.

Dwelling on the past is driving opportunity from your door. The Universe can't shower blessings upon you if you're seething with resentment. Focusing on the present moment can be therapeutic. You can cultivate contentment by remembering you have a greater measure of control than you did in the old days. Fill your time with activities that give you joy. Painting, playing music or doing sudoku and crossword puzzles will be a welcome diversion from unhappy memories. Soon, happiness will take over and you can make a fresh start.

Brooding isn't accomplishing anything. To get a sense of forward momentum, do some volunteer work. Helping those who are less fortunate than you will make you feel capable and needed. Soon, personal problems that seemed insurmountable will become easy to solve. You'll be able to confront someone who has been hurting your feelings with thoughtless behaviour. Instead of lashing out, you'll be able to discuss the problem in a calm, reasonable way. It's possible your tormentor had no idea they were being so offensive.

Be sparing with money. This isn't a good time to make extravagant purchases. Having cash in the bank will allow you to cover some unexpected bills. It may be necessary to replace some broken furniture or repair an appliance. If you're still unable to cover the expense, a generous relative will come to the rescue. You'll be much happier if you can deal with this matter privately. That's why it's better to err on the side of saving.

Don't underestimate your own worth. You're much more valued than you realise. Taking a holiday will put your role into proper perspective. By the time you return home, you'll be eagerly greeted by people who struggled without you. This may be a sign you should reduce your work schedule. Sharing responsibilities with others will give you more time for the sensual pleasures you enjoy. Make more time to enjoy delicious food, commune with nature and indulge in other creature comforts.

It feels like you've been pushed to the side. Rather than trying to make your way into the spotlight, take a second look at your surroundings. Having a low profile has its benefits. You'll be able to operate independently, putting creative touches on projects. Slowly but surely, you'll develop a body of work that is the envy of your peers. While they were trying to please a demanding micromanager, you were busy marching to the beat of your own drum.

You'll be able to realise a cherished dream through hard work. You're capable of tremendous dedication when you're emotionally invested in a project. If you lose faith midway through this journey, turn to an accomplished friend for support. They'll give you a pep talk that helps you work past nagging fears. By refusing to fall victim to anxiety, you'll reach heights you never thought possible. Simply keep your eyes on the prize and the details will take care of themselves.
