Hiding a love affair from the world will do more harm than good. If this relationship is ever going to flourish, it has to withstand public scrutiny. A lover from your past has complimentary things to say. It's nice to know you can still be friends after everything that has happened. If you need to buy or sell a piece of property, hire an estate agent. Although you hate paying commissions, this professional will save you lots of time and effort.

You will be let down by a friend who promised to help you weeks ago. It will be hard to contain your anger; this isn't the first time such a thing has happened. You either must decide to accept your loved one for their faults or break ties altogether. On the plus side, you'll get lots of support from colleagues over the next few days. If you're overwhelmed with a project, ask your workmates to take some of the burden. They'll be happy to help.

Be realistic when it comes to career prospects. Right now, you may not have the skills to land a high profile job. If you get passed over for a more experienced candidate, get the training you need. Studying with a respected expert will put you on the path to romance. Your teacher admires your eagerness and adaptability, while you are impressed with their talent. There may be a significant age difference here, but that may be a blessing in disguise.

It may be impossible to overcome fundamental differences between you and a loved one. The two of you have very different values. This may have seemed insignificant in the past, but it's becoming an increasing problem now. It may be impossible to make plans for someone's future without loud arguments erupting. Some counselling might help. If the two of you can't resolve your problems, try to part amicably. It's not as if you didn't try to keep things afloat.

You will fall short of a self improvement goal. This is a terrible disappointment, given how hard you have tried to overcome this obstacle. Resist the urge to go on a binge. Food, alcohol or drugs won't ease your pain. Confess your trouble to a sympathetic friend. Her support will give you the courage to begin afresh. Keep a file of all your business communications with an important client. These documents will be invaluable in settling a terrible dispute.

A romantic relationship can't solve all of your problems. Getting lost in your lover's eyes is only a temporary reprieve from a stubborn creative block. The only way you're going to overcome this obstacle is to put your nose to the grindstone. Force yourself to write a few sentences, read a couple of chapters or practice some moves. The first step is always hardest. Money from a job you performed long ago finally lands in your bank account.

Overindulging in food or drink will have serious consequences. Limit yourself to three square meals of whole grains, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. If you need a snack, opt for nuts, seeds and berries. Be sure to supplement your program with at least eight glasses of water. It's tiresome to be so painstaking in your habits, but filling your body with junk will make you tired and listless. If you're going to get a new job or attract someone's attention, you need to be in top form.

Letting a child run wild is a mistake. Although you hate instilling discipline, you have to admit your young friend keeps getting into trouble. By teaching this rascal respect for the rules, they'll have a much easier time at school. Making friends will be simpler, too. Trust your instincts about a diplomacy issue. An older person may take offence at your overly casual ways. Having a more professional attitude will cause all the tension between you to evaporate.

Household expenses have spiralled out of control. You need to make deep cuts to your budget. Fixing cheap, nourishing meals will save lots of money. Avoid ready meals, even if they do save time. You can always prepare a delicious meal in a pressure cooker. Joining a professional organisation will put you on the path to romance. One of the more prominent members of this club will take an immediate fancy to you. You make a great couple.

Pretending to know more than you do will backfire spectacularly. It's better to admit your ignorance. If you play your cards right, you could be taught a valuable skill. Flirtatious comments in the workplace could be taken the wrong way. Keep things strictly professional, or your reputation will suffer. An authority figure is observing you. By demonstrating that you treat both clients and colleagues with courtesy and respect, you put yourself in line for a promotion.

Irresponsible purchases ruin your credit. You need to cut credit card bills while you have a chance. If you're in over your head, talk to a money manager who can show you how to consolidate your bills and pare down the interest rate. A legal decision will be rendered in your favour, allowing you to spend more time with a loved one. Don't burden others with the sordid details. Keep things under wraps for a wee while; they'll learn the truth soon enough.

Don't overestimate your importance. Just because you're the only one who knows how to perform certain tasks at work doesn't mean your job is safe. Your employer will be quick to replace you, especially if you're rude or demand special treatment. A relative who has always been generous may not be able to pay your bills this time around. You'll have to dip into savings or borrow money from a friend in order to get out of debt. Take pains this will never happen again.
