Work feels like a petty annoyance. Colleagues are in a bad mood, a project keeps getting revised, and you're not interested in dealing with any of it. Fortunately, friends are ready to take the sting out of daily life. Head out with them for some after hours festivities. A well travelled friend may suggest an overseas trip. Why not? It's been a while since you went away. There's even a chance you could find employment overseas. That would be a blissful change.

Your social life could hit a snag. It feels like you don't have time for friends, lovers or children. Maybe it's because you've given a demanding boss too much leverage. It's time to draw a line in the sand or you'll keep getting phone calls during your off hours. If you're looking for employment, this could overshadow your personal life. It's hard for you to have fun when you're worried about the future. Try anyway. Going out with friends will give you much needed perspective.

Home life could be a bit strenuous. Relatives are highly critical of everything you do. Work is difficult, too. Sudden changes at the top of the food chain make you uncertain about the future. A writing project affords much needed sanity. Working on a memoir, screenplay or short story helps you escape the dull routine of life. If you've never put pen to paper, don't worry. You're blessed with natural writing talent. Just jot down whatever comes to mind.

It's hard to see eye to eye with an older, established person. You think their attitudes are outmoded, while they think your approach is rash. Stop trying to force the issue. Although your colleagues are behind you, support may not be forthcoming from the powers that be. You'll just have to be patient. Eventually, people will see the wisdom of your ways. If you're really fed up, you can find another position at a broadcasting or software company.

Money is tight right now, mostly because you're struggling to fulfil old obligations. The sooner you pay off these debts, the better. Of course, it means a temporary sacrifice. Youngsters may not understand why treats are few and far between. Take this opportunity to emphasise non material pleasures. This lesson will sustain your young friends for a lifetime. Lean on a best friend, business associate, or romantic partner for emotional support during this trying phase.

Boredom and frustration could get the best of you if you're not careful and a close confidante could be part of the problem. They have a knack for undermining your confidence. It may be best to keep your distance from them today, as you will need every ounce of courage to meet the challenges ahead. Channelling your caring and loving feelings into a person, pet or project will help you get a fresh focus and give you a new momentum over the days and weeks to come.

You're starting to have misgivings over work. Nasty, backbiting colleagues may be making life miserable. Alternatively, you could be suffering health problems as a result of stress. It may be best to find a position that is more in keeping with your peace loving temperament. Making more time for your favourite creative activities can ease the tension a little. You have a special affinity for music, fashion and design. Maybe you should pursue a job in one of these fields.

You may be the victim of peer pressure. You've always marched to the beat of your own drum. Right now, it's rubbing friends the wrong way. However, you refuse to amend your life just to satisfy cultural or religious norms. Maybe it's time to seek out more supportive company. Trust your feelings on this issue. If somebody always makes you feel ashamed or defensive, you need to cut them loose. Spending time at home alone can help you heal from the breach.

As far as your boss is concerned, you can't seem to do anything right! It may be impossible to contain your anger. Challenging your superior's authority could result in a warning. Strangely, you're not concerned. You've always been an adaptable person. If you lose one job, you can always find another. Your best opportunities are probably related to teaching, journalism or humanitarian aid. Emphasize your ability to be a team player when going on job interviews.

It may not be possible to reconcile cultural or religious differences with a neighbour. The two of you will have to agree to disagree. Steer clear of controversial subjects when you're talking to them or you will inflict further emotional harm on each other. On the plus side, you're financial picture is strong. Going on a lavish trip is a possibility. Travelling to a beautiful seaside resort will bring much needed relief. It's time to give yourself a reward for working so hard.

Your sex life could hit a snag. If you're single, you need to take things slow with a love interest. Jumping right into bed with somebody is not a good way to start a serious relationship. Linger over the courtship phase, as it will set the tone for your union. In the event you have a lover, you need to expand your repertoire. Don't be afraid to broach the subject with your partner. Communication is the cornerstone of any good physical relationship.

You need to assert yourself with a forbidding romantic or business partner. Giving them any sort of power over your life feels suffocating. If you're going to make them listen, you need to refrain from childish temper tantrums. Expressing yourself in a calm, mature manner will make a big impression. It's possible you need to spend some time alone to figure out what you want. Turn a deaf ear to onlookers who think you're being irresponsible. They don't understand the situation.
