You're more intent than ever to fulfil your desires. It doesn't really matter what people think of your perceived selfishness. The important thing is to pursue your dream until you're too exhausted to go any farther. Your inner critic is warning against taking a risk, but that's what it always does. You're too much of an adventurer to play it safe. Besides, an influential relative is poised to help. Be sure to call upon their assistance, as it will put you over the top.

Making an emotional appeal to a judge, teacher, or spiritual leader will prove effective. You can't sit by and watch an innocent victim get abused by a big powerful mob. Granted, your beliefs aren't popular. You won't make many friends by defending an unsympathetic person. Still, most will admire your courage to stand up for your principles. If you remain silent about this issue, simmering anger will continue to burn.

A scandal is brewing and it looks like you're in the middle of it. People are always looking for a juicy story, and the sight of you with an attractive executive is provocative. Instead of trying to defend your honour, remain silent. Friends will come to your defence, challenging people who are spreading nasty stories to produce proof. Naturally, this will be impossible. Take comfort in the knowledge you have a lot of great people in your corner.

You're even more attuned to the feelings of others than usual. Instead of becoming preoccupied with your friends' problems, write them down instead. Turn these issues into a compelling story. You've been blessed with considerable creative talent. Using it to convey some of the issues that plague us every day can be therapeutic. You spend so much time reflecting on the troubles of the world. Why not tell a tale that will provide comfort and insight for your readers?

Planning a trip will excite your imagination. You're tired of doing the same thing day after day, even if you do love your surroundings. Being forced to adapt to unusual circumstances helps you grow as a person. It also gives you a deeper appreciation of blessings you often take for granted. Don't take a flirt's comments too seriously. They are probably trying to soften you up for selfish purposes. Keep your sights trained on someone who has always been loyal and loving.

Stop telling yourself your partner's needs are more important than you are. Just because you are more organised and self reliant doesn't mean you should be neglected. Tell your business or romantic partner you are overworked. Be specific about the sorts of assistance you desire. There's a good chance you'll prefer practical forms of help, rather than a sympathetic shoulder on which to cry. You don't want to unburden your soul; you just want to save a little time.

Your best friend, business partner, or lover will give the freedom you need to thrive. If you've been thinking about going on a solitary holiday, book one. This will be a wonderful opportunity to shop, eat, and tour where you want. You have to admit, you have a tendency to cater to others. Being by yourself will allow you to set your own agenda without causing offence. A mysterious ache or pain is annoying, but it may disappear once you relax and have fun.

Don't use drugs and alcohol to ease your anxieties. You're worried about bills, and it may be difficult to find relief. The best thing you can do to escape this problem is work as hard as you can. A job with unorthodox hours will allow you to pay off all your bills, but you have to be disciplined. Avoid window shopping when you're on a budget. There's no point in putting yourself on the path to temptation. Stay on the straight and narrow.

Your partner is willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, which is gratifying. Just make sure you are worthy of their trust. You've always had difficulty settling down. If you are tempted to venture into greener pastures, consider what effect your behaviour will have on your amour. Make an extra effort to reconnect with your lover. Your needs are quite different from theirs, so take this into account and look for ways to compromise and be at peace.

Your domestic routine is anything but conventional, which gives you a secret thrill. You're tired of being placed in a pigeonhole. Going against the grain allows you to express the more subversive parts of your personality. Living communally, moving to an unpopular neighbourhood, and arranging your household in a strange way are among the possibilities. If you're looking for a job, you could find one quite close to your home, which will save on commuting costs.

Being surrounded by unusual people is inspiring. You're tired of discussing meaningless subjects with colleagues who aren't creative enough to discuss anything else. Fortunately, your new friends are extremely adventurous and don't shy away from controversial topics. One thing you should be careful about is money. Don't leave confidential information where strangers can find it. Identity theft is a serious problem that can be avoided.

You're giving off contradictory signals to family members. Your relatives want to do what is best for you, but even you aren't sure what should be done. Therefore, you continue to make dramatic declarations, and then contradict yourself a few minutes later. Stop creating all this confusion and retreat to a quiet spot. Explore your feelings and decide what you really want. It may be necessary to take an unusual job to remain financially independent. Stick to your guns.
