Beware of venting your temper or your professional reputation will be harmed. Work is undeniably stressful. That's why it's important to develop some coping mechanisms. Take a deep breath and count to ten when faced with an angry customer or failed project. Take brisk walks on your break. Exercise before or after work. Increased oxygen flow and regular physical activity can release tension. Nothing is worth compromising your health, especially work.

You're suspicious of someone whose beliefs are radically different from your own. It doesn't seem possible you could have anything in common. In truth, the two of you might become great friends. A mutual love of the same artist or creative medium could draw you together. It will be a relief to talk to someone who shares your intimate knowledge of certain styles and forms. Before you know it, you could be collaborating on an art project. Stranger things have happened.

You hate being in debt but might have to take out a loan to make a purchase. Whether you're going back to the classroom, buying a house or purchasing a car, it's time to bite the bullet. Someone is depending on you. If you don't assume this responsibility, it may be difficult to find employment that can sustain you through good times and bad. A home located in a quiet, remote location will ease your anxieties and fill you with hope.

A partnership feels limiting. It may be hard to find work in a place where your best friend or lover is employed. If this is the case, you may want to launch your own business. You're certainly resourceful enough to make a success of the whole thing. Restoring furniture and appliances to their original lustre will be an enjoyable challenge. Alternatively, you may prefer caring for children or animals. You could also earn money as a medical transcriptionist.

Work isn't especially fulfilling. You long to explore greener pastures, but financial obligations stop you from doing so. Instead of dwelling on your misfortune, look for ways to lift your spirits. Spending more time with the people you love will ease your restless heart. If you are craving romance, join an online dating service. Do you already have a partner? Plan a special evening that caters to your partner's tastes. You're usually the one who is waited upon. Turning the tables will be fun.

You can't keep sacrificing your creativity on the altar of duty and responsibility. You've been blessed with considerable artistic talent. Don't let it go to waste any longer. If this means putting work on the back burner, so be it. Your business or romantic partner will give their full support. Take this opportunity to get involved with something you've always wanted to do. You'll feel more energetic and awake than you have in years. Roll up your sleeves and get busy.

Don't be too hard on someone who hasn't fulfilled their responsibilities. There is more to this story than meets the eye. Maybe someone is being bullied or an older relative is having difficulty with certain activities or keeping a commitment. Instead of criticising their inferior contributions, invite them to open up. You'll be surprised by what you learn. A soothing massage or soak in the tub can relieve tension that's been building in your muscles. Stop putting so much pressure on yourself.

You're afraid to say something that will cause offense. Normally, you have no trouble speaking your mind. This situation is different. A hypersensitive colleague who has experienced a string of misfortune needs additional support. If you're asked to give feedback on their work, be as constructive as possible. When offering advice, give concrete examples of what they can do to improve. A little compassion goes a long way. Your partner has good news that will be cause for celebration.

This isn't a good time to gamble. Leave your money where you know it's safe and hopefully earning a little interest. Do you want to confess a crush? Keep your feelings secret for a little while longer. Startling facts could emerge about the object of your affection. After hearing these reports, you may decide to remain footloose and fancy free. Are you already in a relationship? Don't spring any surprises on your amour. They aren't ready for a big change, even if it is a pleasant one.

You're serious about achieving your objectives, but family continues to disrupt your plans. Instead of jumping to their aid every time there is a problem, let a needy relative stew in their own juices. They've always been their worst enemy. Until they learn to budget their money, plan ahead and manage their schedule, they will fail to move forward. It's not your job to make up for their shortcomings. You have bigger fish to fry. Turn your attention to a personal or family project.

Although you hate to admit it, you feel inadequate. Everyone else seems to know what to do and say when dealing with tragedy. You're struck silent by the phenomenon. When in doubt, actions speak louder than words. Relieving an anxious colleague of a chore, running an errand for a neighbour or helping a buddy who has fallen on hard times are all possibilities. You don't have to make a big deal out of the situation. Just quietly lend support in practical ways.

The thought of joining a big group fills you with terror. You'd rather stay home with the lights low and the phone off. Unfortunately, you have to socialise to attract moneymaking opportunities. Attending parties, clubs and professional gatherings isn't your idea of fun, but it will put you in contact with people who can give you work. Push your anxieties aside and accept a party invitation. You'll be so relieved when job offers start pouring in as a result.
