Stop keeping your emotions bottled up. You need an outlet for your frustrations. Playing sports can be therapeutic. So can working out at the gym, digging in the garden or doing physical labour. When your body is in motion, you're able to move past troubling thoughts. Creative work is also liberating. Take this opportunity to write an outline for a story, compose the opening bars of a song or begin work on an intricate design. It's hard to stay angry when you're busy doing what you love.

Everyone is dumping their problems on you. It hurts to realise your feelings aren't being considered. Instead of agreeing to perform a few more favours, put your foot down. You don't have to make excuses for this refusal. Carve time out of your busy schedule for some solitary activities. Reading, listening to music or wandering through a museum will restore your equilibrium. Although your loved ones mean well, they have started to take your generosity for granted.

Don't cut off your nose to spite your face at work. Although you've been passed over for a promotion, you should continue working at the same impressive level. Slacking off will undermine your professional reputation. If there aren't any opportunities for advancement at your present company, look elsewhere for your preferred position. A rival organisation will be happy to snap you up. Not only will you get a bigger salary, but you'll also be given a chance to exercise your creative talent.

Don't rest on your laurels. Although things are going very well right now, you have to act to ensure long term happiness. Whether this means getting a degree, adding more money to your savings account or taking additional creative risks is immaterial. The important thing is to push yourself harder than ever before. Someone who admires your tenacity will offer you an impressive opportunity to study, write and travel for a stipend. Getting paid to tour the world and offer your opinion will be a dream come true.

A childish temper tantrum will wear on your nerves. You're tired of mollycoddling someone who can't wait their turn. Instead of giving in to these selfish demands, hold your ground. Make it clear you will not reward outrageous behaviour. Being consistently stubborn is the only way to nip this problem in the bud. Once this manipulator sees you mean business, they'll look for another victim. At that point, you can breathe a huge sigh of relief. These emotional scenes have taken a toll on your health.

A jealous friend is making you unhappy. Every time something wonderful happens to you, they make a remark designed to undermine your enthusiasm. The sooner you break off this connection, the better. You may have known each other for a long time, but that's no reason to continue this toxic bond. Over the years, each of you has changed. You've remained open to new experiences and accepted challenges with grace. They've become bitter and disillusioned. It's time to part ways.

Treading water is no longer working. You have to move forward to be happy. Stop deliberating over a decision. Flip a coin if you must. It's better to take a long, twisted path than remain paralysed. A job offer will involve more work than you expect, but stay calm. If you play your cards right, you'll acquire some impressive skills that will lead to more lucrative assignments. Be open to learning from a colleague who is much older or younger.

You shouldn't have to change your personality to be loved. Stop trying to fit someone's description of the perfect partner. You're ideal just the way you are. Hold out for an admirer who accepts you, flaws and all. If you're already in a relationship and your amour is pressuring you to change, have a serious talk. Explain why their remarks hurt your feelings. Demand the respect you deserve. If you don't see a change soon, you should move on to greener pastures.

It's important to face some troubling facts about a love affair. If you think your partner hasn't been treating you with courtesy and respect, it's time to move on. Going solo will be scary at first, but you'll come to embrace your freedom. Are you single? The reason it's been hard to find a partner is simple. Your standards are too high. Stop looking for the person of your dreams and evaluate suitors on their own terms. A flawed but funny individual may be perfect for you.

After a prolonged period of uncertainty, you finally know what you want from love. Unfortunately, the object of your affection has grown tired of waiting. It will take a long time to earn their trust and admiration. Be prepared to back up your words with actions. Proclaiming your feelings won't be sufficient to win your amour's heart. You'll have to make a personal sacrifice of some kind. If that means passing up a promotion or refusing to relocate for business, so be it.

A powerful urge to leave your job is compelling. You're tired of treading water; you want to see some movement in your professional life. Unfortunately, this isn't the best time to find work. Abandoning a steady source of income will cause more anxiety than you thought. It's better to plod along in your present position while looking for something more stimulating. A friend, relative or neighbour may hear of a perfect opportunity for you. Apply as soon as possible.

A romantic relationship has gone stale. If you want to inject some excitement back into it, you'll have to work hard. Spending quality time with your amour is critical. Until you reconnect on an emotional level, physical affection will remain elusive. Are you single? You're looking for love in all the wrong places. You'll meet someone special at a house of worship, spiritual retreat or prayer group. Keep your eyes open for someone who exudes an air of mystery. The chemistry between you will be powerful.
