Face the facts of a stressful situation. Things are going to change, putting you in a vulnerable spot. The faster you come to terms with these differences, the better off you will be. Whether this means looking for a new job, cutting back expenses or relocating to a less expensive area is immaterial. The important thing is to protect your interests. An intimate relationship is suffering from all this strain. Instead of lashing out at your amour, confide your fears.

It's important to take good care of yourself. When you neglect your sensual needs, you become tired and irritable. Take a long nap, soak in a scented bath and enjoy some comfort food. Put off a stressful task until you are well rested. Above all, avoid toxic people. If you are immersed in a stressful situation, take a short break. Head for a spot famous for its natural beauty. Communing with nature always has a therapeutic effect on you. Leave your mobile at home and breathe deep.

To increase your moneymaking potential, you must acquire marketable skills. Don't be afraid to venture into a different industry if that is where the best paid jobs exist. You're wonderfully flexible and can ride the waves of a changing market beautifully. Taking a part time position to supplement your income is wise, especially if there is growth potential at this company. Who are you to turn down a bigger salary, generous perks and additional annual leave?

It's time to formulate a strategy. Passively waiting for events to unfold will result in a missed opportunity. You have an opportunity to contribute to a prestigious publication. Sharing your insight on an important subject will attract fame and acclaim. You're tired of playing second fiddle to people with less experience and knowledge. By presenting yourself to the world as a seasoned expert, you'll finally move into the spotlight, where you belong. Don't be afraid of success; it suits you.

It's difficult for you to trust someone who hasn't been forthcoming. You've never been shy about showing your affection. When loving gestures are met with indifference, it feels terrible. Instead of wondering whether this relationship is worth pursuing, have a heart to heart discussion. You'll quickly learn whether your friend truly cares. There is no point wasting your time with someone who is indifferent to your charms. If this is the case, break things off and hold out for a more rewarding union.

You know what you want and you'll work hard to get it. People who underestimate your ambition will be astonished. Not only will you go above and beyond the call of duty, but you'll relentlessly promote these contributions. In the past, you were too modest to draw attention to yourself. Now you are determined to get the credit you deserve. When rivals ask for help, politely decline. You should be focusing all your energy on rendering a perfect performance.

You will have to practice strength, courage and compassion towards a desperate colleague. Someone who has been backed into a corner will lash out at you. Be ready to field their accusations with quiet dignity. The less defensive you appear, the easier it will be to shake off these claims. The only thing you've done wrong is thrive in a demanding work environment. As a result, you'll be given a promotion, perhaps at the expense of an unqualified rival. Hold your head high and do your best.

When you feel overwhelmed, it helps to stop, breathe and be still. You have been blessed with powerful psychic powers. Summon them now. Your uncanny instincts will tell you which direction to take. This advice will fly in the face of conventional wisdom. Don't let that stop you from carrying out your heart's directive. Going on a romantic trip, realising a childhood dream or entering a competition may be exactly what's necessary to feel empowered. Take a risk; you won't be sorry.

Although it may not seem like it, your hard work is paying off. You'll soon be given a promotion or job offer that makes you jump with excitement. Getting paid to practice your craft will change your relationship towards work. Your job will become a source of joy instead of despair. You'll be able to collaborate with people who appreciate your talent. Best of all, your efforts will make a positive difference for the public. If you're asked to make one last sacrifice, do it. Your reward is coming.

This is not the time to take action. Let your competitor make the first move. You're the underdog in this fight, so it's important to face the possibility of losing. Of course, you're not the type to quietly yield. Watch and wait for your enemy to make a mistake. It's entirely possible they'll be thrown off balance by your calm demeanour. When they do make an error, you'll be quick to publicise it. At that point, someone who already has them could hand you the reins of power.

It's time to scale back your expectations. Things haven't worked out the way you wanted. It's not your fault. Unfortunately, you will have to deal with the fallout. Do the best you can with limited resources. Nobody will judge you for submitting a lacklustre project. The only way some people will change their stance is to see the results of their poor decision. Be patient and wait for reality to come crashing down. It's only a matter of time.

Building your self-confidence should be your first order of business. In the past, you allowed less talented people to eclipse you. Instead of remaining prisoner to fear, try something bold. Apply for a job that seems out of reach. Ask the object of your desire for a date. Enter your creative work into a prestigious competition. The simple act of asserting yourself will make your pride soar. You may not get what you want this time, but you will have tilted the odds in your favour for future endeavours.
