You feel unsettled and insecure. The pursuit of fun is eating into your savings. Just when you get a little money, it goes right back out again. Fortunately, changing your ways doesn't mean forgoing fun. You just need to find a new way to amuse yourself. Instead of going out to expensive bars, restaurants and clubs, invite people over for dinner. Have everybody bring a side dish while you prepare the main course. Simple pleasures are often the most rewarding.

You're conflicted about a family matter. Although you are relieved someone has stood up to a relative whose behaviour is toxic, you can't help but feel sorry for the perpetrator. Resist the urge to interfere. The only way this troubled person will mend their ways is if he or she is given an ultimatum. That's what happens when somebody hits rock bottom. Instead of obsessing over the matter, turn your attention to more rewarding activities, like gardening, baking or handicrafts.

You feel a little lonely, especially as far as your personal life is concerned. If you're single, you may be experience a dry patch in the romance arena. That's not about to change, so you need to reconcile yourself to being happy on your own. Develop hobbies you can perform in solitude, like writing, playing music, or painting. The sooner you take steps to soothe your soul, the faster relief will come. It may be necessary to cancel a trip because of transportation difficulties.

The group is having too much effect on your decisions. You need to develop a sense of self worth that has nothing to do with social considerations. Your personal value has nothing to do with the clothes you wear, the money you earn and the neighbourhood in which you reside. Refrain from lending or borrowing money, or a strong bond will be destroyed forever. Sometimes you need to defend your own interests, even at the risk of looking cold to uninformed observers.

Your reputation will take a serious hit after an angry outburst. You simply can't contain your frustrations any longer. A woman who has been trying your patience for many weeks will push you one step too far. Although your tantrum is understandable, it will not be tolerated. A sincere apology must be issued as soon as you calm down or you could be demoted, fired or worse. Find a better way to cope with work related stress. A therapist may be able to help.

A difference in belief systems is creating problems with you and your family. You're tired of being raked over the coals for having another set of values. No matter how much you defend yourself you'll continue to be treated as an inferior. Stop subjecting yourself to this situation. Putting a little distance between you and your kin will cause certain relatives to realise the error of their ways. As for the rest, they'll be content to remain in their narrow minded world.

Your emotional desires aren't being met, which is causing you a great deal of frustration. For the most part, you're more comfortable in the realm of the intellect. That's why it's so difficult when you feel an upsurge of longing. It's hard to know where to channel these needs. Instead of waiting for somebody else to fulfil these urges, find a way to satisfy yourself. This might involve taking up an artistic pursuit. You've been blessed with considerable creative talent.

Don't assume a bossy tone with your lover or best friend. He or she is not in the mood to deal with your nonsense today. Lately, you've been taking out your frustrations on your nearest and dearest. This is both unfair and unwise. Right now, you need all the support you can get. Driving loved ones away will put you in an even weaker position. Swallow your pride and offer a humble apology for this recent spate of bullying. You will be forgiven, if you change your ways.

One of your pets could be experiencing distress. Put down what you are doing and seek medical assistance. You will be glad you sought treatment for this problem in its early stages. If you don't have any animals, you may be suffering from their lack. Four legged friends bring out the best in you. Head for your local shelter and see if you connect with any of the creatures there. Adopting an animal will give you a new lease on life.

You can no longer ignore an inner need for fun. For the past few weeks, you've been doing the responsible thing while everyone else rests, plays and sulks. Although your resolve is admirable, it is also taking a heavy toll on your spirits. Put down your list of duties and abandon yourself to pleasure. Your family and friends may be wide eyed with astonishment at this rebellion. Good! You're tired of being the one to pick up the pieces for everyone else.

Relations are strained. It seems as if your relatives disapprove of some of your friends. There may be good reason for these objections. The people in question can be pushy and selfish. You enjoy hanging around with them because they offer a refreshing alternative to the selfless ideal you're always supposed to pursue. In the end you'll tire of these egotistical people and move on. Until then, enjoy their company and ignore your family's complaints.

Work doesn't offer much intellectual stimulation. You're expected to do the same thing, day after day. And while the temptation to quit is strong, you can't deny you need a steady income. The best way to keep boredom at bay is to fill your free time with interesting activities. At first, you may be too tired to take up any rigorous activities. Once you get into the habit of devoting an hour of your time to pleasure it will become an addictive habit.
