You're reluctant to make a long-term commitment. Avoiding romance until you make more money is a mistake. Someone who loves you, regardless of your bank account, is worth your devotion. You may be surprised to discover it's much easier to attract moneymaking opportunities when you form a serious partnership. When you have a partner in your corner, you'll become more confident. If you're already in a relationship, don't hesitate to ask your other half to make a sacrifice for you.

Travel plans will be delayed, making you upset. You've been looking forward to this trip. Having it postponed makes a difficult situation even worse. Instead of being able to look forward to a change, you'll feel forced to wallow in misery. Stop being so dramatic. You can put an end to a toxic situation by breaking away from a troubled relationship. Just because you feel sorry for someone does not mean you owe them your friendship. Tell a manipulative person you no longer want to see them.

You're overwhelmed by responsibility. You long to set aside these duties and take a nice, long rest. That's not possible; too many people are relying on you. Do your best to fulfil outstanding jobs but don't accept any new ones. Schedule a holiday in a few weeks, when your schedule will finally be clear. If you have domestic chores that must be carried out, ask a loyal friend to do these jobs while you're away. It's time to cash in some favours.

You're doubting your potential for success. Part of the problem is that you haven't been receiving much feedback from recent contributions. Either people are unimpressed by your performance or, worse yet, don't care about it. Summon your courage and ask someone you respect for their opinion. Their remarks will boost your confidence. You have a potential to reach a new level of success. The sooner you believe in yourself, the easier it will be to realise your potential. Stop listening to your inner critic and take a chance.

Avoiding conflict will just make a difficult situation worse. It's time to confront the source of your problem, even if it means risking dismissal from your job or a romantic breakup. You pride yourself on having an open mind. Listening to bigoted remarks has dampened your spirits. Take this opportunity to challenge the person who has been making these hateful statements. You'll feel like a huge weight has been lifted from your heart as soon as you speak up.

A breakdown in communication is causing problems at home. Two of your relatives do not see eye to eye. They find each other's views offensive. You are caught in the middle. Stop playing referee. Stay out of the fray and force the combatants to work things out by themselves. If they can't, you may decide to find a better living situation. Supporting yourself will be much easier than listening to constant bickering. You're highly sensitive to your surroundings. Seek a more tranquil environment.

You've been trying to improve but have encountered obstacles along the way. Instead of devoting time to a course of study, you've been forced to attend to boring chores. As a result, it has been difficult to keep up with your reading, complete assignments and pass tests. Recommit yourself to this goal. Tell friends, relatives and colleagues you are no longer able to assume the same work load. They'll have to pick up the slack while you attend classes.

You have an opportunity to accept a job in a totally different field, but you're afraid to do so. The prospect of venturing into unknown territory makes you uneasy. It would be so much easier to stick to the tried and true. Push yourself to switch gears. You'll never realise your full potential if you keep doing the same thing repeatedly. If you absolutely hate this position, you can always quit. Choose adventure over comfort. You're too interesting to lead a predictable life.

It's difficult to know what you want. There are many options before you. You have a chance to set down roots at home, but they could undermine your career prospects. Pursuing a demanding job is tempting, but you don't want to sacrifice your personal life for success. Table this decision for another time. Keep busy with a demanding chore. When your conscious mind is occupied, your psyche will have a chance to work out the problem. By the time you've finished this job, you'll know what to do.

It's time to acknowledge you have no control over a situation. Someone who does not approve of your plans will stop them from happening. Although this obstruction is maddening, it can't be helped. You'll have to make another plan. While you're busy with this particular venture, you'll forget the disappointment that is now consuming you. This refusal to stop working, striving and dreaming is one of your nicest qualities. It might even attract an admirer. A passionate romance will be the Universe's way of rewarding your persistence.

A new venture has fallen flat. Instead of cursing yourself for taking the wrong approach, give yourself a break. The most ambitious goals usually involve several tries before they are reached. Reflect on what went wrong this time and what adjustments you can make to achieve success. Heaping yourself with criticism will only make it harder to make a second attempt. When you're consumed by doubt, reach out to an optimistic friend who makes you laugh. They'll remind you what a mistake it is to take yourself too seriously.

Holding on to a burden is no longer necessary. Go ahead and relinquish this responsibility. Once you're free of this job, you'll have an opportunity to change your personal life. Whether this means breaking a bad habit, giving up on an elusive dream or changing careers is immaterial. The important thing is to stop hiding behind your role as caretaker. Martyrdom has been making you miserable. Set it aside and do something to make yourself happy. Everyone will notice and admire the change.
