Instead of abandoning ship altogether, take a few steps back and evaluate the situation in an objective fashion. Your wide-eyed optimism can set you up for disappointment. Don't let this be one of those times; take a realistic view.

You will be asked to make a compromise, which you think, is unfair but don't be rash with your answer. It seems like all the advantage is to be had by the other party, who has more authority and power than you. Such situations really make you angry, because you're such a steady, reliable figure. Perhaps the best thing would be to stage a last-minute rebellion. Folks are so reliant on your faithful service; they may be totally vulnerable without it.

Recent changes are putting a crimp in your style, and you resent it so why put up with it? This is an unusual circumstance for an adaptable person like you.

Life is too turbulent to sustain and nurture a romance right now. If you're already in a relationship, refuse to devote all your time and energy to matters that appear absolutely imperative but are suspect. Whatever your problems, you need the love and support of your partner.

An unconventional person causes you to question your preconceived notions. You're starting to wonder whether your fiercely held attitudes are genuinely held beliefs, or simply inherited ideas about the way things should be done. And though these questions can cause lots of internal turmoil, be glad you're undergoing this period of reflection. It's a sign of maturity, growth, and wisdom. Don't be a replica of somebody less able than you.

Disruptions in your daily routine make it hard to communicate effectively. You prefer to be totally focused on the person you're talking with, but that's difficult when the phone keeps ringing, colleagues interrupt, and equipment breaks down. At times like these, it's better to postpone important discussions for another day, rather than swim against the tide. In the long run, this delay could work to your advantage so for now sit back and cogitate.

You'd rather spend a relaxing, lazy day somewhere nice but the stars have different plans. A sudden chance to do something unusual could fall into your lap. Whilst you sense this is a unique opportunity, it's almost impossible to get motivated. Get a child or a lover to give you a push in the right direction. The best things in life often arrive at inconvenient times. Don't deny your destiny for the sake of temporary comfort.

Domestic chaos prevents you from projecting a cool, confident image to the outside world Maybe you need to attend to homespun problems instead of trying to look perfect.

Have a little faith in humanity!

Shock news could rip you away from a reverie so prepare to come back down to earth with a bump. You want nothing more than to escape the harsh realities of the world, but that's simply not possible now. Suppress any knee-jerk reactions; now is the time for strategy, not action. The longer you force the opposition to wait, the better off you'll be. Keep them in a state of suspended animation while you craft a response.

Expenses you haven't foreseen are eating into your plans for the future. You have two choices: adapt or despair. By making a few sensible adjustments to the way you deal with money, you can salvage a large part of your savings. Consult an accountant or financial adviser for ways in which you can make your income stretch farther. It would be a shame to abandon your dreams as the result of one out of the blue incident or upset.

A surprise revelation throws a wrench into a momentous plan. You may well be forced to put your own desires aside in order to attend to a person's needs.

It's always an adjustment when life takes a sudden turn, especially for the worse, but you can handle the pressure.

Unexpected fears arise when making plans to travel or for an adventure. Although you pride yourself on being versatile, there are some subjects on which you are very fixed and obstinate. A good way to unbend is to confide in those folks who have experienced already what you are about to embark on. Such a person can get to the root of your worry without treading on your doctrines or beliefs. Don't let a golden chance like this pass you by.
