You've got big expectations, but lack the experience and training to realise them. Sign up for a course or class whilst you are feeling inspired. Otherwise, small disappointments and pessimistic people could steal your thunder. You have to pay your dues before leading the good life you see others enjoying. Keep things in perspective.

It's no lucky accident that you've been granted a favour; you landed this spot because of your trustworthy behaviour. Pay no attention to jealous people who poke fun at your riches. They would change places with you in a second. Maybe it's time you broke off with 'friends' who lay guilt trips on you or plot and scheme behind your back.

Someone who seems genuine may have ulterior motives; this is not a good time to grant favours. On the other hand, with Jupiter in league with Neptune this is a fine time to give yourself a little gift. Reschedule a trip you had to cancel or postpone. There's a good chance you could find money or romance on your journey. You're due for some excitement.

You have a tendency to put the weight of the world on your shoulders, but think a minute. The fact is, we all contribute to social ills each day. You can combat the problem by performing random but regular acts of kindness. Try not to let a co-worker's bad mood spoil your day. Nastiness can be contagious.

It's time to accept the fact that fairy tales are just fiction; if you want to live 'happily ever after,' you have to earn it. It's not as bad as you think. Work can actually be a pleasure, so long as you don't approach it with dread. If you're seriously unhappy with your present duties, find another opportunity. Stop putting limits on yourself.

Living up to your family's or parent's expectations can be a real burden at times, especially when you have different goals. Instead of living your life for everyone else, act to please yourself. It's hard to feel worthy of love when you don't honour your own desires. A domineering person may cause a scene, but they're all bark and no bite.

Busying yourself with silly tasks is really a means to avoid your creative instincts. The longer you suppress your desires, the deeper your depression will becomes: you owe it to yourself to discover your potential. The initial break from your routine will feel scary, but it's a small price to pay for happiness. A supportive friend will help you make these necessary changes.

You have made yourself too dependent on someone, and it's causing you to give up on your dreams. Stop looking to others for approval. If they're so threatened by your aspirations, they're not the right person for you. Contrary to what your friends say, it is better to be alone than to be stuck in a terrible marriage or affair.

Teaching children a skill can be tremendously rewarding, especially if you're not appreciated at work. Although you may conduct this class on a voluntary basis now, this could turn into a paying job before long. You have incredible gifts that scream for recognition. Don't be afraid to share them with deserving people.

Although you have years of experience in a particular field, it pays to keep current with emerging trends. Taking a class in the latest computer technology will increase your income considerably. Besides, you wouldn't want younger people to steal your thunder. Retain control of your authority.

Making a sacrifice for a sake of a child will smart at first, but it's the right thing to do. Don't be surprised if friends and family start performing kind little gestures after learning what you've done. Acts of selflessness rarely go unrewarded. Call a friend or colleague who lives far away; they could have surprising news.

It's time to stand on your own two feet, even though you have plenty of pals who are willing to do your dirty work. Otherwise, you'll never gain the self-confidence necessary to develop your talents. An overprotective relative could be responsible for your timidity. If so, know that they had the best intentions.
