Making practical decisions will be difficult. Your feelings for a special person are interfering with your logic. It simply isn't possible to give financial support to somebody who refuses to work. You sympathise with their problems, but many of them are a result of laziness. Stop listening to these sob stories and make plans for your own future. An upcoming purchase will be very expensive. Start saving now or you will be in a very difficult situation. Keep debt to a minimum.

You won't be able to talk sense to an emotional relative. This family member has always made mountains out of molehills. When faced with change, they'll make an embarrassing scene. Instead of trying to introduce the subject gently, just forge ahead as if their opinion doesn't matter. Once the ball gets rolling, this troublemaker won't be able to do anything to stop it. Taking another job or moving to a different place won't be easy, but it's the next logical step.

It's important to maintain a relative's trust, even when it's tempting to reveal their secrets. You love a juicy story. Spreading gossip will only reflect badly on you. Keep your lips sealed. Confusing instructions from your employer need clarification. Ask them to put a set of directions in black and white. That way there will be accountability if any mistakes are made. It's possible your superior isn't sure what they want and is being vague on purpose. Don't let them make you their scapegoat.

Don't lend or borrow money. Nothing destroys a good relationship faster than broken financial promises. If you're short of cash, start looking for another source of income. Is your current line of work drying up? Train for another profession. Getting a license or certificate will improve your moneymaking prospects. Do some research into emerging industries. Change can be difficult for you, but it's easier when you're the one launching the transformation.

An emotional outburst could compromise your professional reputation. When you feel your temper starting to rise, take a few deep breaths. Go for a brisk walk around the block. Count to ten. Do what you can to suppress your feelings. Letting down your guard in front of a colleague or client will be disastrous. Go over bank statements with a fine toothed comb. You may spot an error that is costing lots of money. Be polite when bringing the problem to an official's attention.

Practicing impulse control is strongly advised. This isn't a good time to go on a shopping spree or confess a crush. If you want something, you should formulate a strategy for getting it. Pay careful attention to a person's tastes, desires and preferences. Learn about their favourite subjects. If the two of you are hopelessly mismatched, look for a more suitable partner. You're not the type who can enjoy a relationship that is all style and no substance. Hold out for true love.

Don't let friends talk you into a decision you're not ready to make. It takes a long time for you to weigh the pros and cons of any given situation. Opening separate bank accounts, getting your own place and starting your own business are among the possibilities for you. It's time to strike out on your own. Asserting your independence will be exhilarating. You're tired of leaning on others. You'll never realise your full potential if you maintain a co-dependent relationship.

It is hard to strike a balance between your personal and professional lives. Confronting your boss will be difficult but necessary. You simply can't continue to devote all of your free time to work. Close relationships are starting to suffer as a result. When you promise to meet someone for dinner or spend the weekend together, stick to it. Be on time and stay emotionally present. The last thing you want is to alienate someone who has always given their unconditional support.

An ethical matter is causing you to lose sleep. You want to stand up to an unfair rule, but the consequences are troubling. Giving up financial security for the sake of making a point is too risky. There's very little chance your actions will make a difference. Think about how your family will be affected by your actions. It may be better to wait for a better opportunity to take a stand. Keep a detailed record of all conversations regarding this matter. It may be helpful later.

It's difficult to let down your guard with a loved one. Past experience makes you hesitant about revealing secrets. When assessing whether someone is trustworthy, assess how their behaviour matches their words. If there is a discrepancy between the two, it would be better to stay silent. A computer glitch could wreak havoc at work. Make sure to back up your files. Having an extra copy of important documents will save time, work and aggravation. Forewarned is forearmed.

It will be impossible to compromise with someone who has different needs. You make decisions based on logic, while a loved one relies on their intuition for guidance. This will lead to a difficult situation regarding finances. It will be better to maintain individually bank accounts. When the two of you decide to buy something together, you can split the bill. If only one of you wants a particular item, they can pay for it separately. Don't worry what outsiders will think of this arrangement.

You feel misunderstood by your colleagues. Your methods are much different than theirs, which causes confusion. Instead of justifying your techniques, let the results speak for themselves. Nobody can deny you are one of the most creative members of the organisation. When a more practical approach is needed, allow other colleagues to take over. Everyone has a role to play. Yours is unique. Let this be a source of pride, not embarrassment. It would be very difficult to replace you.
