Joint finances are tight. This isn't a good time to run up big bills. Focus on paying down debt instead. If money isn't coming in as fast as you'd like, think about downsizing. Having a heart-to-heart discussion with your business or romantic partner will bring relief. Instead of trying to maintain brave faces, you'll be able to deal with the truth of a difficult situation. Join forces and strategise to overcome this problem. Teamwork is the name of the game.

It feels like a loved one is taking advantage of you. Instead of grinning and bearing it, stand in your own defence. You deserve to be treated with the courtesy you give others. When that's not forthcoming, it's time to reconsider the relationship. Are you single? Instead of looking for love, embrace your freedom. Take a solitary trip to a place that uplifts and inspires you. Getting away from familiar surroundings will help you reconnect with your spiritual side. Prepare for some profound revelations.

It's time to adopt sensible dietary habits. If you've fallen into the habit of eating out, set time aside to prepare nutritious meals. Taking a healthy lunch to work will not only improve your health, but it will save lots of money. Instead of being weighed down by all the sugar, fat and additives contained in pre-packaged convenience foods, you'll be energised by wholesome ingredients. Are you too busy to prepare food? Think about investing in a meal preparation service that offers organic selections.

It's tempting to neglect responsibilities for the sake of love. Instead of turning your back on people who depend on you, meet their needs. You can always go back to having fun later, when your schedule is clear. If you've recently fallen in love, you want to spend every spare moment with your amour. This obsessive attitude can drive a wedge between you and your friends. Your loved ones have been there for you during times of trial; this is no time to abandon them.

Stop putting off domestic jobs. Fixing appliances, repairing broken furniture and replacing outmoded equipment are critical to your productivity. Neglecting a small problem will cause it to get bigger. Do yourself a favour and call a repair professional now, when their expense will be manageable. If you want to move, start searching for a new place to live. Putting off the inevitable will make a stressful situation even worse. Take time off work to meet with a real estate agent and explore your options.

Be willing to put preconceived notions aside. By adopting an open-minded attitude, you'll attract some exciting educational opportunities. Learning from someone who is much older or younger is possible. You might also acquire skills from someone you used to underestimate. It takes a big person to admit their ignorance and ask for instruction. By getting off your high horse, you'll make some new friends and discover hidden resources. Every time you feel an impulse to cut yourself off from the world, open your arms instead.

This isn't a good time to splash out on luxuries. A big expense is looming and you must be ready to meet it. While you adore creature comforts, you can't let your love of extravagance undermine your financial stability. If you've been struggling to pay the bills, it's time to find a more lucrative job. A sales opportunity is worth pursuing. Use your powers of persuasion to move products and services. It will quickly emerge you're the most talented person in your division, winning a series of bonuses.

Although you're a valued member of the team, you shouldn't act like you're more important than anyone else. Make it your mission to treat everyone with dignity and respect. Adopting a humble attitude will make your popularity soar. Your loved ones will become more cooperative and it will be easier to compromise. Have you detected a growing distance between you and your romantic partner? Take this opportunity to close the gap. Tell your amour how much you appreciate them.

Although you've experienced a series of disappointments, don't let them get you down. You still are an extremely lucky person. Every time you feel tempted to dwell on setbacks, count your blessings. Generating positive energy is the best way to attract love, luck and money. Are you unemployed? It's understandable you are concerned about work. Spread the word of your search among friends, neighbours and relatives. Someone will hear of a perfect position for you and alert you to it.

You're tempted to ask a friend for a favour. Instead of exerting pressure on your loved one to write a recommendation or pull some strings, try getting ahead on your own steam. That way, you'll have the satisfaction of reaching the top by sheer merit. If you meet a prominent individual that you dislike, don't feel pressured to become friends. You don't need their connections to realise a dream. All you require is focus and determination. Don't be afraid to own your power.

Wielding your power over others will create great resentment. Although you have a great measure of control at work, you should use it to benefit the group, rather than further your own interests. Selfless behaviour will be met with hard work, loyalty and friendship. When given a choice between rewarding the team and taking a bonus, pick the former. Your division will quickly emerge as the best in the organisation, giving you the reputation of an admired and capable leader.

Just because you feel strongly about an issue does not mean others should. Resist the temptation to lecture people about how they should be spending their time. We're all wonderfully different. This makes the world a varied and interesting place. Feel free to pursue your interests while others march to the beat of their own drums. If you're looking for support, join an organisation or club. This is the proper place to discuss your favourite subject. It will be nice to feel affirmed for a change.
