Trying to get other people to do your bidding will be an exercise in futility. You may be forced to acquire a skill you really don't want to possess. Learning how to operate office or kitchen equipment may be a drag, but it's better than heaping personal responsibilities on innocent victims. You have to admit, you've had an easy ride up until this moment. Now it's time to be an adult and round out your repertoire.

It may be time to rethink a creative project, especially if it has caused dissention among friends. Although you have a clear vision of what you'd like to do, other people will be affected by your plans. It's better to enact a compromise than forge ahead wilfully. You may feel resentful and angry at first, but in time you'll be glad you put your ego aside for the sake of friendship. Give yourself a nice reward for being so flexible.

Revising a domestic arrangement will allow you to attend to some unexpected problems. It's possible you may have to spend more time at work, which will take you away from household responsibilities. If you don't live with anyone else, consider hiring a cleaner. Otherwise, family members may have to take up the slack. Don't complain if they perform jobs differently from you; just be grateful they're doing the work!

You may regret some words said in haste or anger; it's hard not to lose your temper today. Somebody who acts like they have all the answers can really get under your skin. If you do happen to make a cruel remark, apologise immediately. Nobody has the right to inflict pain on another human being. Of course, there are probably things in this person's character that drive you crazy, but you'll just have to cope.

An angry confrontation over money may force you to juggle your budget. You just don't have the same financial priorities as a business or romantic partner. The sooner you accept this, the easier it will be to enact a compromise. Face it: you're never going to change this person. Breaking off this relationship would be a terrible waste. Try to find a way you can work together without pushing each other's emotional hot buttons.

Self-doubt may cause you to lash out at a loved one, which causes you both some pain. It's hard not to take innocent comments the wrong way; the planets are warping everything you hear and read. Monitor your reactions to people carefully over the next three weeks. If some remark angers or upsets you, refuse to react. Give yourself half an hour to think things over. This will prevent you from making unfortunate remarks.

Taking on too many projects could be the result of an insecure ego. Resist the urge to micromanage projects, even if you think your colleagues are incapable of doing a good job. By relinquishing control, you'll relieve yourself of work and make a few friends in the process. You may want to work on your mental outlook. Recently, you've been prone to pessimistic thinking. Make a concerted effort to look on the bright side.

You may have to go over plans with a friend several times before you get things straight. Even then, miscommunications are bound to ensue. It's a good idea to have a second option ready in case your first idea falls through. People may be tempted to toss a lot of blame around. Refuse to get caught up in this hysterical vortex. Instead, focus your energy on making the best of a bad situation.

Troubles at home could cause you to make a big public scene. You may want to reconsider how you treat people who are trying to serve you. Employees, waiters, and shop clerks all deserve respect, even when they make mistakes. Think back to a time when you got things hopelessly muddled. Did it help when others yelled at you? By extending courtesy to others, you'll receive dozens of unexpected rewards.

Reviewing a certain philosophy or religion may bring up painful memories. It's only natural for you to question beliefs that were instilled in you as a child. As an adult, you have a divine opportunity to craft your own moral code. Resist the urge to blame your elders for passing on unhealthy attitudes. The truth is, they did the best they could. Give thanks for the things they did right, and move toward the future.

Your value system may be totally opposite to that of the people around you, which could cause sparks to fly. Instead of casting judgment on this person, try looking at life from their perspective. Perhaps their experiences have moulded and shaped their outlook in a way you can never understand. Similarly, your past has a tremendous effect on the beliefs you hold dear. Agree to disagree, and try to find common ground elsewhere.

A relationship that once looked promising may need some adjustments. That's natural; couples never stay the same. You need to grow and change together, instead of trying to inhibit each other's growth. Don't take your partner's diverging interests as a personal insult. You may discover you appreciate your private time much more after you've spent time apart. Develop your own hobbies.
