An unspoken anger towards a neighbour or sibling could come out in a sarcastic remark. Offer a sincere apology as soon as you can or your reputation could suffer. It's not fair to subject this person to your abuse, particularly since he or she is unaware of the offence they have caused. Getting involved with a humanitarian cause gives you a new lease on life. It's refreshing to take the focus off your own problems.

You may be attracted to a friend, but the romantic feeling isn't mutual and although you are bitterly disappointed, it's important to maintain your bond. If it's too hard to be in this person's presence, keep your distance for the next few weeks. Explain why you will be unavailable for the immediate future. Giving your heart time to heal is essential. Throwing yourself into work proves a welcome distraction. You enjoy operating behind the scenes, where you can exercise your artistic flair.

Reading an uplifting book can help you cope with a difficult situation. An authority figure is acting more like a bully than a respected leader and as much as you want to make the best of a bad situation, you are teetering on the edge of despair. At times like these, it's important to seek reason from other quarters. If your friends don't have any good book recommendations, it may be a good idea to read the biography of someone you've always respected.

You know just what a loved one needs to recover from a serious disappointment. Arranging help for this person may be the best thing you'll do all year. If your friend is suffering with an illness, you can prepare meals, run errands, or arrange transport for him or her. Someone could reveal an embarrassing secret about you. Continue to hold your head high. Your grace under fire will earn renewed respect. We all have skeletons in our closets.

Someone's sexual aggression could really upset you and you can't stand this kind of crass, crude behaviour. Putting this person in their place may prevent him or her from ever pulling a similar stunt. Don't be afraid to raise your voice in public if you need to emphasise the seriousness of the situation. A business or romantic partner offers welcome support. Let this person pamper you with a home cooked meal or a relaxing spa treatment.

Someone who is nice to your face could be telling lies behind your back. Beware of putting your trust in a seemingly sensitive man. Work can be rewarding, particularly when you find a way to make your budget stretch far with very little fuss. Your resourceful idea is sure to win points with your colleagues. Don't reveal it to your boss yet. He or she may try to take credit for this brainstorm. Wait until the source of your concept becomes widely known.

An intimate relationship could show signs of strain. It's possible the two of you have been spending too much time together. Going your separate ways - even for a few hours - can clear the air between you. In the event you are single, you could meet someone special at a house of worship, New Age bookstore, or yoga class. Keep your eyes open for a bright eyed intellectual whose sarcastic observations make you laugh.

A lover's high pressure tactics leave you cold. You hate being pushed into a corner, and are willing to withstand any discomfort rather than falling under someone's control. A sympathetic relative could come to your rescue. If you need a job, ask this person for help. He or she may know of the perfect position for you. Try not to get too discouraged if you are forced to leave a comfortable situation. This new opportunity could be a blessing in disguise.

No matter how kind and considerate you are towards a loved one, you could be mistreated as a result. It looks as though this person is determined to refuse all forms of help. In a situation like this, you have no other choice but to make a tactical retreat. A child's insightful comments make you laugh despite yourself. It's nice to hear someone talking sense, even if that person is years younger than everyone else. Vow to make a fresh start tomorrow.

A colleague's sloppy job fills you with frustration. There isn't anything nice you can say about this horrible mess. Rather than venting your anger in a public place, escape to the quiet of home. A relative or roommate will help you see the humour in the situation. If you live alone, invite a friend over to share a pizza or some other takeaway. Spending time with the people you truly value can help you maintain a healthy perspective on life.

A short trip may prove fulfilling on an artistic or spiritual level. It's nice to get away from the distractions of home. You may not have enough money to finance a longer journey, but try not to let it spoil an otherwise good day. If you remain hopeful, you could get the funds from an unexpected source. In the meantime, you have an opportunity to form an alliance with a neighbour or sibling. Rely on this person to communicate your ideas to a receptive audience.

Relatives are downright unsympathetic about your plight. Maybe it's because you keep dwelling on your problems, instead of trying to cope with them. The next time you feel the urge to complain, channel your energy into a money making project. Working behind the scenes may be preferable to assuming a high profile. It's easier to focus when you're not the centre of attention. Spending a quiet hour by yourself can also ease your aching heart.
