Someone from the past will try to make their way back into your life. Keep up your guard when they're around. It's possible they are more interested in your bank account than your wellbeing. Although you sympathise with people who are down on their luck, you don't like deception. Stick close to the friends who have proven their loyalty over the years. They'll talk sense into you when your resolve starts to waver. You've always been vulnerable where this game player is concerned.

Don't be so quick to help others. Sitting back and observing will demonstrate faith in their abilities. It's hard for a capable person like you to see novices struggle with simple tasks. Instead of taking these jobs away, give people the chance to hone their skills. It's the only way they'll get better. Renegotiating a contract will take time and effort. Be ready to hold out for better terms, even at the risk of a confrontation. Defend your interests.

It will be hard to follow a schedule, as last minute emergencies will greet you at every step. Instead of making appointments and mapping out schedules, leave your calendar open. That way, it won't be so difficult so change gear. Ask a neighbour to relieve you of carpooling or childcare duties for the time being. You can cover for them at a later date. Right now, you have to be ready to work extra shifts, meet repairmen and get medical consultations.

Taking up a hobby or sport you enjoyed as a youngster is a really good idea. You need an outlet for your imagination. Lately, you've been so busy with domestic responsibilities that you have neglected your creative side. This is a mistake. When you get bogged down in dull routines, you become irritable and quarrelsome. You hate being this way, but aren't sure how to change. Pick up a pen, paintbrush or ball. All the resentment that's been building will melt like morning mist.

You're starting to reconsider your role in the family. Adopting a less prominent role will relieve anxiety. It's exhausting trying to manage the lives of people who resent your interference. Take a few steps back and let your relatives make their own mistakes. If you're dealing with a troubled child, it is important to change your approach. The methods you've been using have not worked. Give careful thought to what motivates them. Leaning on this pressure point will yield the results you want.

There will be a reshuffling in your personal life. Duties you normally perform will be handed to someone else, while you will preside over another area. Whether you're training for a different job, recuperating from an illness or coping with some major street repairs is immaterial. The important thing is to go with the flow. Fortunately, you're a fairly easy going person which means it's easy for you to be flexible. You could even benefit from the changes being imposed on you.

You'll have to juggle your budget to cover unexpected expenses. Resist the temptation to buy things on your credit card. It will take a lot of time and money to pay off such bills. You're better off using cash for anything you buy. If that's not possible, keep these purchases to a minimum. Eventually, you'll find another source of income that will ease your financial burdens. Until then, sit tight and be as resourceful as possible. This, too, shall pass.

You long to redefine who you are and how others see you. That's a tall order. If you're serious, you must do some hard work and remain committed. Getting control of your anger and jealousy issues will be difficult. If there is anyone who can overcome such challenges, it is you. You might have to get professional help. Following a strict programme will keep you focused and productive. It will be a relief breaking away from old behaviours that were undermining your health and happiness.

Changes are occurring behind the scenes, but you're not sure what they are. This makes a straightforward person like you very frustrated. You'd rather know the unvarnished truth than be kept in the dark. While the powers that be are huddled in conference meetings, you'll be left to do the lion's share of work. Try to conserve your energy. You will need it for an upcoming fight. It may be necessary for you to defend your position or interview for a new job.

Reconnecting with your friends is critical. Lately, you've been so wrapped up in a love affair or creative project that you've fallen out of step with your social circle. It's time to make amends. Don't be surprised when loved ones give you the cold shoulder. Nobody likes being neglected. You'll have to persist and pursue these people. Apologise for your behaviour and resolve to make a fresh start. Be as giving to others as they have been towards you or life will become lonely.

It may be impossible to please your employer. Every time you finish a job, they ask for revisions. This will undermine your confidence. You might even start questioning your sanity. Actually, you're doing everything right. Your superiors are the ones being indecisive. Unfortunately, this is undermining your performance. Save yourself time and trouble by doing the minimum until a clearer vision emerges. There's no point in putting all your creative energy on a project that will later be abandoned.

You'll have to revise a big project you thought was finished. Correcting minor errors will be time consuming. This is the sort of painstaking labour you really loathe. Instead of focusing on your discomfort, resolve to work through it. By establishing yourself as a conscientious team player, you will pave the way for better assignments. It's time to show your boss you can be trusted with time sensitive jobs. You've always operated quickly, but must become more precise in your duties.
