No matter how hard you fight, you won't be given access to the resources you deserve. This is extremely frustrating. It also puts strain on an intimate relationship. Instead of focusing on what you lack, turn your attention to the blessings you enjoy. It's easy to recognise opportunity when you're optimistic. Steer clear of a relative who treats you like a victim. Nobody can diminish you without your permission. Hold your head high and look for a lucrative job opportunity.

Legal proceedings will not go your way. People are unsympathetic to your cause. It's better to drop a case than waste more time, money, and effort on a losing proposition. Flattery will get you nowhere, so resist the urge to pelt a judge or lawyer with compliments. You won't make much progress at work, either. An older colleague finds fault with everything you do. It may be best to take the day off and focus on a project that gives you pleasure, just to rebuild your self esteem.

Take plenty of safety precautions at work, as you are accident prone. Avoid sharp tools and heavy equipment. There's no point in tempting fate. Buried anger is compromising your health. You've got to vent your feelings to a sympathetic counsellor. Even writing in a diary can ease your pain. Going on a shopping spree won't bring contentment. Actually, it will only compound your problems. You should conserve your resources. Cut back on expensive diversions. You don't have to spend a lot of money to be happy.

Engaging in dangerous sports and games of chance is not a good idea. Take a conservative approach, or you'll lose something very precious to you. A quarrelsome lover or a tiresome youngster will begin to get on your nerves. Try not to lose your cool or you will say something you will later regret. It feels like everyone wants something from you, but they're not giving anything in return. The only way to cope with these feelings of resentment is to keep busy.

Taking out an insurance policy on your home or apartment is strongly advised. Although you won't like writing that initial cheque, you'll be glad you did when something goes wrong. You've always prized your possessions, so why not protect them? Look at the expense as an investment in your peace of mind. Someone with bad motives will try to befriend you. Be wary about making confidences to this rogue. The last thing you need is having your personal business discussed by all and sundry.

Something said in the heat of the moment will come back and haunt you. Bite your tongue when you feel your anger starting to rise. Think back on when a loved one said something hurtful to you. Have you ever forgotten it? Do you really want to cause such pain to someone else? Trying to win favour with friends will be difficult. You long to express yourself creatively, but they find your talent threatening. Maybe it's time to make more sympathetic friends.

Don't play fast and loose with your income. Although money is coming in at a steady rate now, it may not always be that way. Put a portion of your earnings into a savings account, where it will protect you from uncertainty. If you're struggling, don't bother projecting an image of prosperity. People won't be fooled by the ruse. You're better off being honest about your situation. If you need work, spread the word among friends. Tell your relatives you are looking for a job.

Take precautions with your health, as you are vulnerable to bites, stings, burns, and cuts. You're better off ordering out than fixing a complicated meal. A nasty kitchen accident could land you in the emergency room. Be suspicious of someone who is heaping you with extravagant compliments. This flatterer wants you to grant them a favour. Once you give your help, they'll drop you like a hot potato. Stick close to people who have consistently proven their loyalty.

Insomnia is becoming a problem. Instead of drifting off to a peaceful sleep, you toss and turn for hours. This makes it difficult to concentrate at work. Your relationships are suffering, too. It's hard to be pleasant when your nerves are on edge. Collecting a debt will be difficult, too. It's time to face facts and cut your losses. Friends won't be able to help, and may not be very sympathetic, either. If you're going to dig yourself out of this hole, you will have to do it yourself.

You get very angry when things don't go according to plan. No matter how much you curse and fuss, you won't be able to force people into action. In fact, they'll become even more resistant in the face of your anger. This is really hurtful, since you've always tried to encourage talent and initiative. It feels like all of your hard work and generosity is being thrown back in your face. Instead of trying to put a good face on the situation, retreat to a private hideaway.

A heated confrontation with an authority figure will result in a loss of power. That won't make much difference to you. You'd rather state your opposition and retain your dignity than go with the programme. Resist the urge to drown your sorrows in food and drink. By treating your body like a temple, you'll be able to handle the challenges ahead with relative ease. The last thing you want is to go into battle while you are sick.

Getting into an argument about religion or politics isn't worth the trouble. You'll never be able to convert people. The more you talk, the angrier your audience will become. Pressing this issue will have unfortunate consequences for a lover or child. Their reputation will be affected by your behaviour. Money from a grant, inheritance, or legal settlement will be delayed. Don't make any extravagant purchases. You must be resourceful. Finding another source of income is strongly advised.
