Opportunities to expand your horizons are few and far between. It seems like you'll be stuck in your current rut forever. The fastest way to escape limiting circumstances is to bless them. Tell the Universe you're ready to learn whatever it has to teach you. As soon as you lean into your situation, you'll get some traction. A job offer will be made. You'll get a chance to study with a talented teacher. Your boss will send you on a glamorous business trip. Positive energy makes inroads.

Intense emotions are distracting you from coping with responsibilities. It's hard to focus when you're consumed by anger. Unfortunately, it will be impossible to change the target of their anger. Some people are oblivious. Instead of trying to convert them, change your own perspective. Reclaim your power by devoting less time to thankless activities and more to your favourite hobbies. Meet regularly with people who uplift and inspire you. Above all, treat everything your tormentor says as a joke.

A partnership has become challenging. You're not being taken seriously by someone who is your equal. Stand up for yourself, even at the risk of conflict. Calmly explain how their behaviour diminishes you. Give specific examples of things they have said and how these words affected you. Don't accept dismissive responses. Until this issue is resolved, it will be impossible to move this relationship forward. If you have no other alternative but to part ways, then do it. The best is yet to be.

It's difficult to find meaningful work. The industry you want to enter is highly competitive. It will take time and diligence to get your foot in the door. Having alternative ways to make money is strongly advised. Don't worry if your friends have much more prestigious job. The important thing is you are paying your bills while pursuing your dream. Keep the big picture in mind at all times. The longer you chip away; the sooner you will hit gold. Until then, stay positive.

You're having difficulty expressing your true feelings. Fear of rejection is keeping you from being honest. Instead of remaining silent, launch a creative project; it will be a welcome outlet for your frustrations. You don't have to show your work to anyone else. Having a secret life will be empowering. It's hard to feel oppressed when you're exercising your imagination on a regular basis. The more energy your pour into your artwork, the less influence an insensitive person will have over you.

It's difficult to be kind to someone who gets on your nerves. When your temper is short, it's usually because you've been neglecting your needs. Give yourself a break. Take time off work. Sleep late. Go for a massage. Buy yourself a small token of your own esteem. Have you made a terrible mistake? Ask for forgiveness. Whether you receive it or not, you will at least have opened the door to reconciliation. Being gentler yourself will make it easier to practice patience with others. Try it and see.

Filling in the gaps of your knowledge should be your first priority. While your preference for old fashioned ways is understandable, it's important to move with the times. Updating your skills and learning about the latest trends is critical to your success. Be willing to work with someone who is much younger than you. By being totally honest about your ignorance, you'll be treated with compassion and patience. It will take time to get the hang of things, so be good to yourself.

You're working harder than anyone but reaping fewer rewards. It's time to reverse that trend. If you're in a low paid industry, move to one that has a shortage of skilled workers. Getting a certificate in a specialised area will be profitable. Are you simply the victim of bad negotiations? Build your self-esteem. Practice being more assertive. Use every opportunity to ask for more than you are offered. You are your own best advocate. Stop trusting others to pay what they think is fair.

This isn't the time to obey your impulses. Plan carefully. Gather supplies. Double check your facts. Working without a safety net will be disastrous, especially where domestic matters are concerned. If you have to hire someone to do repairs, choose someone with great references from people you trust. Giving the job to someone who is willing to work for a pittance won't work. The same principle holds true for finding a babysitter. Don't entrust your property and family to just anyone.

Being overly sensitive will keep you from realising your full potential. Many people are intimidated by your talent. They try to undermine your confidence with backhanded compliments and disrespectful behaviour. Instead of taking offence, hold your head high. Make it your mission to give the best possible service you can. Continuing to surpass your goals will result in a raise, promotion or both. At that point, you'll be able to work with people who admire your ability.

You dread losing your freedom to a job, relationship or living situation. Unfortunately, it won't be possible to go solo right now. You need others to get ahead. The sooner you let down your defences, the better. Focus on being a valued member of the team. Relieving busy people of chores, offering words of support and cultivating a feeling of trust are all ways you can create comfortable alliances. When others tease you about being offbeat, breathe a sigh of relief that nobody thinks you're boring.

Professional success isn't coming as quickly as you thought. You have difficulty setting yourself apart from more aggressive rivals. Learning the fine art of self-promotion is critical. Practice becoming more comfortable with discussing your achievements. Talking about your skills and talents; your strengths and weaknesses is completely acceptable in a job interview. Once you understand what employers are looking for, it will be much easier to land a good job.
