If a health issue is weighing on your mind. Make an appointment with a medical professional to get yourself checked over. Putting off a visit to the doctor won't solve anything. There's a good chance you will have to scale back your exercise regimen. You've always been physically active. There are times when you have to give your system a rest. Gentle exercise will keep you limber without pushing your body too far. Take your doctor's advice seriously or you'll be back to square one.

If you want to be taken seriously, avoid theatrics. The best way to make your point is to make a quiet, reasoned appeal to those who can put things right. Even if the decision is made against you, you will have earned the respect of your superiors. Future requests will be granted because of your gracious behaviour. It takes a long time to build a professional relationship. When people see you are always reasonable and fair, they'll work hard to accommodate you.

A romantic or business partner is pressuring you to take a chance. Taking a risk will backfire. It's better to listen to conventional wisdom, especially about property. Wait until the market gets better to sell a house. If you have to rent a place in the interim, do it. There's no point in making a move when you have other options available. In addition to protecting your financial interests, it's important to think about the impact such a change will have on your family. A gradual transition is best.

You're confident of your strengths, but don't let pride go to your head. Someone who has even greater mastery of your favourite subject will appear on the scene. Instead of entering into a competition, be open to learning from this newcomer. Your professional stature may suffer, but only temporarily. By getting on with the work you must do, you'll fulfil your considerable potential. You'll also pave the way for better work relationships with colleagues who respect your humility.

Don't let a desire for comfort keep you from travelling to a country that is off the beaten path. Although the accommodation will be rough, this trip will have a tremendous impact on your outlook. Not only will you become more tolerant of cultural differences, but you'll gain a deeper appreciation for your lifestyle. There's also a chance you'll find love on this journey. There's nothing like an alluring accent to catch your fancy. The object of your affection will work hard to impress you.

You're determined to get your way, despite a stubborn relative who is blocking your path. A loud argument will erupt when you defy this family member's advice. It's important to be true to yourself, even if it means putting this relationship on hold. Pursuing your dream career, developing your creative talent and relocating to another area are among the possibilities. Although this decision will inconvenience people, it can't be helped. They'll have to make other arrangements while you're busy.

You feel cut off from the rest of the group. Although your values are different, you can still make friends. It's a matter of listening more than you speak. After spending time with your neighbours, you'll understand and appreciate them better. They'll let down their guard with you and it will be easier to participate. Be patient. You're used to being wildly popular wherever you go. It will take more time than usual to befriend this group. The results will be worth the wait.

Always coming to the rescue of others is getting tiresome. It's time to put your own priorities first. You've been saving money for something important. Someone who has been irresponsible will demand you bail them out. Instead of dipping into your savings account, tell them to find another solution. It's not your responsibility to protect them from harm. Anyone who dares calls you selfish isn't really your friend. You have a right to use your hard earned money any way you wish.

An embarrassing mistake will come back to haunt you. It's important to swallow your pride and admit any mistakes. People will be much more sympathetic if you aren't arrogant. After vowing to do better, back up your words with actions. Whether this means getting treatment for an addiction, repaying money or taking anger management classes is immaterial. The important thing is to take the necessary steps to change. This won't happen overnight. It needs lots of work.

You want to break out of your shell, but the time isn't right. Responsibilities at home are forcing you to stay put. Find a healthy outlet for your frustrations. Letting your resentment build will get you down. Craft projects, diary entries and nature hikes can cultivate a positive attitude. There will be a chance to travel, study and write, but you have promises to keep. Fulfil these obligations and then branch out. Neglecting your duties will undermine your personal or professional reputation.

You will mistakenly stumble across some confidential information. Going public with this news will hurt a great deal of people. Think carefully about the consequences of your actions. It may be better to confront someone who has been perpetrating an injustice. By telling them you have discovered their secret, they'll be compelled to turn over a new leaf. Nobody's life will be disrupted, but you will have put an end to this disgraceful practice. If it persists, then you should sound the alarm.

When you give too much of your power away to a partner, problems occur. You have fantastic professional prospects. It's important to go after your dream career, even if it means a close relationship will change. Someone you work with who wants you to stay in your current position or a romantic partner who doesn't want to relocate is nervous. Do the best you can to assure them of your loyalty. You can still maintain your bond without abandoning your goals.
