A jealous rival will resort to some underhanded behaviour to mar your reputation. Be vigilant about protecting your work. If you found it's been sabotaged, contact the authorities immediately. It's important to get this incident on record. Although some people may not understand what's happening they will be on notice. Eventually the snake in the grass will make a mistake and reveal their identity and you'll be vindicated. For now, take extra precautions with your property, passwords and bank accounts.

Despite an urge to celebrate your good fortune, it will be difficult to do so. A relative who has received bad news has been plunged into mourning. This isn't the right time to throw a party. Do something special for yourself in a low key way. Resist the temptation to talk about your fabulous luck in a public forum. It's unfortunate you can't express your joy freely, but it would be in bad taste at this juncture. Count your blessings quietly.

You want to maintain existing relationships but it isn't possible. Someone who is getting married or starting a family won't be as available as they used to be. That's sad for your social circle, but it should be expected. Try not to think poorly of a friend whose priorities are changing. Instead, wish them well and send them on their way. In a few years, they may make their way back into your life. For now, you have to focus on forming new friendships.

When a business opportunity sounds too good to be true, it is. You're being asked to assume some of the risk without any reward. That should set off alarm bells. Although you want to help a loved one get a venture off the ground, you shouldn't have to do so at your own financial peril. Keep your money safe in the bank. Anyone who accuses you of being selfish is projecting their feelings onto you. Don't fall for any guilt trips.

You're extremely attractive, drawing admirers from every side. Someone with an air of mystery is intriguing but you should probably keep a healthy distance. A naturally upbeat person like you can't afford to be dragged down by a cynic. At first, you'll find their black humour hilarious. After a while, you'll get tired of hearing their gloomy predictions about the future. You also won't appreciate their tendency to shoot down your plans. Hold out for somebody who shares your zest for life.

An aggressive individual fills you with distaste. Instead of steamrolling over other people's suggestions to implement your own ideas, you prefer having productive discussions. That's not how this interloper does business. The sooner you cast this nuisance from your midst, the better. If you're forced to work together, call their bluff. Don't give in to their demands, even if it means making a huge scene. The fastest way to intimidate a bully is with a show of force.

Being thrust into a new situation makes your confidence plunge. You're not sure how to approach unfamiliar people. Everyone seems cold and standoffish. Trying to befriend them will deepen their contempt. Keeping your own counsel is the best strategy. Once everybody sees you are gifted, they'll start warming up. At that point, you may decide you don't want to form relationships with these people. That's perfectly understandable. Should you trust individuals who won't help the vulnerable?

You have too many irons in the fire. It's time to ditch some of your workload. Delegate responsibilities to relatives, roommates and colleagues. There's no reason you should continue doing the work of three people. A few people will neglect their duties, hoping you'll retrieve them. Don't fall for the bait. Your primary focus is your health. If that means letting a few projects crash and burn, so be it. Nobody can accuse you of being lazy. You've been carrying the load for everyone for far too long.

Although you want to surge forward, it isn't the right time to make a move. It's better to wait for facts and figures to become available. This is incredibly frustrating, but it can't be helped. Find a way to occupy your mind. Working on a complex puzzle can be a welcome distraction. You'll soon get sucked into the process, forgetting the world around you. By the time you hit on a solution, the material you require will arrive. At that point, you can make an informed decision.

It will be almost impossible to finish a job. This is very frustrating. Someone who was supposed to handle certain responsibilities has dropped the ball. Now you're left to deal with the consequences. Before getting angry, think about how you contributed to the problem. It's possible you spoke to this individual in a patronising manner. When working with a group, it's critical to treat everybody with courtesy and respect. If you have a conflict with someone, discuss it in a forthright manner.

You are infamously stubborn. This unwillingness to compromise is causing problems. An authority figure is frustrated by your refusal to follow the rules. When others see you being insubordinate, they follow suit. You'll either have to give in or leave the organisation. Neither prospect is tempting. Think about what is more important: Freedom or stability. Right now, it is better to keep earning regularly. There will be opportunities to assert your independence later.

You're not getting the recognition you deserve, which is disappointing. Instead of lashing out at an individual who keeps getting celebrated for their work, maintain a dignified silence. Think about ways you can garner more attention. You might not be sending your work to the right people. Making more contacts in your desired field is also important. You can't expect an appreciative audience to find you. You have to make overtures towards them. Get out there and network.
