Conflicts with loved ones are bound to erupt. You are tired of having your advice fall on deaf ears. Instead of urging others to be more productive, focus on your own projects instead. Friends and relatives won't approve of your plans, but that can't be helped. You're determined to have something to show for all your hard work and sacrifice. If that means spending less time on social pursuits and family gatherings, so be it. You must seize a rare opportunity for growth.

Health problems can result if you push yourself too hard. Cut back your work schedule now, while you have a chance. Your colleagues can pick up the slack. You can't be expected to do the work of three people all the time. Are you unemployed? It's possible you are barking up the wrong tree. Instead of applying to help wanted advertisements, ask your friends to notify you of any positions that seem suited to you. Whom you know is more important than what you know right now.

Don't push yourself too hard physically. When in doubt, wear safety equipment. It's better to take an ounce of precaution than land in the emergency room. An impulsive romantic encounter could be cause for regret. Think before getting involved with a wild rebel. You're sick and tired of having your heart stomped on by people who are unable to commit. Are you already in a relationship? Let your amour choose the restaurant or movie tonight. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Domestic disputes are draining your energy. It's time to make some changes to your household routine before the problem gets any more serious. A power imbalance needs to be addressed. It isn't healthy to defer to one relative's needs all the time. If you live on your own, it may be time to move to another place. Escaping a loud construction project, faulty wiring or leaky plumbing will be a huge relief. Look for an abode that has space for a home office.

Transport problems and equipment breakdowns will plague your life. Be sure to have your mobile powered up in case you have to cancel an appointment at the last minute. It might help to jot down contact numbers on paper, just in case your phone doesn't work. It pays to have a backup plan for whatever you are doing. Double check the address line of emails before hitting the 'send' button. This is an especially bad time to forward sensitive information to the wrong person.

This isn't a good time to go on a shopping spree. Anything you purchase will be cause for regret. At the very least, check the return policy at each store and keep all of your receipts. You don't want to get stuck with faulty merchandise. Someone at work will pressure you to do something unethical. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to escape their oppressive influence. Instead of hiding whenever you see this manipulator, summon your courage and confront them.

You simply have to accept you will not get your way at work. Deferring to the group will cause others to respect you. Everyone knows how much you want to pursue a particular path, but nobody else shares your vision. Being a good team player will pave the way for future success. There will come a time when you require support for another idea. At that point, you'll get all the support you want. Think of your long term career prospects.

Getting involved with secret intrigues will be cause for regret. Resist the urge to get revenge on an annoying colleague. If you get caught, you could lose your job. It's better to let karma do its work without you. Eventually, the person who is causing you all this grief will stumble and fall. When it happens, their influence on your life will be a dim memory. In the meantime, channel your energy into a self improvement project. This will be a much better use of your time.

Breaking away from the crowd will be liberating. You love your friends, but that doesn't mean you have to parrot your opinions. If you find a particular group's beliefs disturbing, speak up. You don't want to be guilty by association. Money from a joint fund may never find its way into your account. If you're determined to get your fair share, you might have to file a lawsuit. Be prepared for a protracted fight. Many people forget their loyalties when it comes to money.

All is not fair when it comes to business. It's better to listen to your conscience than take advantage of a technical loophole. You may be within your right to deprive someone of a refund, but taking such action will reflect poorly on you. Think back to a time when a company refused to make restitution for one of their mistakes. Didn't it make you angry? Take this opportunity to generate some positive energy into the world. You'll sleep much better.

It won't be possible to convert someone to your beliefs. Instead of lecturing someone who has a different view, change the topic. You can find common ground if you try. Sensitive issues like religion and politics shouldn't be discussed in mixed company. Such arguments just create a stressful environment. These debates also make people in the surrounding area uncomfortable. When it comes right down to it, neither one of you are going to alter your opinions, so why waste energy fighting?

It's time to take control of your finances. If you're deep in debt, consolidate your bills and pay them off in regular monthly instalments. It may take months to satisfy these obligations. Try not to get discouraged. People who seem to be able to afford all sorts of luxury items are in similar trouble. The difference is that you are trying to solve the problem, while others are getting into deeper trouble. Give yourself a small reward each time you pay off a certain percentage of your bill.
