It's time to wine and dine your partner. Too often, you get so wrapped up with work that you neglect your personal life. Take a couple of days off to pamper your amour. Are you single? Put more effort into balancing work with play. Take up a sport, arrange outings with friends, or join a dating service. There is some exciting movement on the career horizon, but don't let that be your sole focus. You perform much better at work when you have a happy home life.

You're not getting the affection you desire, and it's getting a tad tiresome. Surround yourself with people who appreciate your many wonderful qualities. Taking a holiday with a supportive friend is strongly advised. Getting some distance from an unsatisfying relationship will cause you to view your life from an entirely new perspective. Once you get a chance to think, you'll be able to make a list of demands that is fair. Be cool, calm, and collected when presenting these demands to your partner.

Working with a traditionalist is frustrating. You want to push the envelope, while your boss or parent prefers to maintain the status quo. You'll have to look elsewhere to satisfy your need for adventure. It won't be possible to take a trip right now, but planning one will be fun. Money from a dividend, inheritance, or refund will allow you to travel overseas. Choose an historic city that evokes strong images of the past. You'll love exploring crumbling ruins or towering pyramids.

A tremendous thirst for knowledge isn't being quenched. You're tired of letting your creative impulses lay fallow for the sake of drudgery. Unfortunately, you can't abandon your responsibilities altogether. That means it's time to change your priorities. Do the bare minimum at home and work, and make more time for the activities you love. You don't have to prepare lavish meals or go beyond the call of duty to maintain your position. Put the lion's share of energy towards a writing, painting, music, or photography class.

Jealousy could rear its ugly head. Your partner is giving you mixed signals, and you don't appreciate it. You want to be first and foremost in your lover's life. Instead of throwing a tantrum, do something to boost your self esteem. Buy an outfit that accentuates your best features. Go out for a night on the town with your friends. Go for a luxurious spa treatment. Do whatever it takes to feel valued, fabulous, and cherished. If your amour has any sense, they'll put the focus back on you.

Take your cues from a calm friend who performs well under stress. It's easy to get upset by a person who lords their expertise over you. By refusing to react to their provocative comments, you'll win the admiration of onlookers. Your boss will be especially impressed by your ability to work with this difficult character. If you must blow off steam, pair up with an attentive lover who knows how to give you a good time. You'll enjoy being petted, pampered, and kissed.

Don't be so fastidious with a freewheeling friend. Correcting their methods will cause resentment. You're intent on achieving perfection, while your loved one just wants to have fun. Offering constant critical feedback will just dampen their enthusiasm. Fortunately, a relative who appreciates your high standards will ask for your help. Channel your quest for excellence into this project. You'll do a great job redecorating a drab space or refurbishing some shabby furniture. You have a talent for softening classic structures with modern sensibilities.

You have a tendency to put a damper on festive events. It bothers you to see people having fun when we live in such a troubled world. Try to ease up and relax. Life can be very difficult, which is why it's important to celebrate the sweeter moments. By abandoning yourself to fun, you'll feel your mood start to lift. Unexpectedly, problems that seemed insurmountable will seem relatively painless. Good news about money will come as a relief.

You're tired of always apologising to an ultra-sensitive colleague. It's hard for an irrepressible tease like you to scale back your humour. Still, there are some people who are simply incapable of taking a joke. If the two of you are going to work together, you'll have to adopt a totally businesslike attitude. Stop trying to elicit laughs and make productivity your sole objective. You can adopt a more playful attitude with people who appreciate your irreverent attitude.

A desire for freedom will cause you to push a loved one away. Normally, you welcome the closeness you enjoy with your best friend or amour. Right now you have to explore your own ideas and sensibilities. That's fine, but don't be hurtful when expressing your need for space. Simply state that you want to take a short trip by yourself, and it's no reflection on your relationship. It may take some convincing, but thankfully you are patient and persistent.

You're great at serving others on a practical level, but sometimes have difficulty intuiting their emotional needs. If a colleague has become distant, ask what you can do to improve your relationship. The answer could be as simple as waiting until they've had their morning coffee before peppering them with questions. We all have quirks. Learning how to navigate around them will make your job much easier. It will also make you more popular in both your personal and professional lives.

As much as you hate confrontation, you must deal with a tense situation. Approach somebody who has been treating you with distain. If you keep tolerating their nasty behaviour, it will continue to escalate. You're a hard worker who has made many sacrifices for the sake of the team. It's your colleagues who have recognised you're not a doormat. Your boss isn't certain whether you're tough enough for a promotion. This is your chance to prove your merit.
