You're ultra competitive, but people may not be able to handle your aggression. Try not to turn an innocent game into the clash of the titans. Friends are especially sensitive to your mood. They won't react well if you draw battle lines among members of the group. Try a more easy going attitude. Instead of trying to outperform your nearest and dearest, champion their strengths. This mature attitude will make you a respected leader.

Seeing eye to eye with a male relative is all but impossible. The two of you are coming from opposite ends of the spectrum. You handle problems through patience and diligence, while this man tackles them with animal aggression. Your method is more effective, even if it is very subtle. Fortunately, intelligence and maturity will win the day. A creative group of people could adopt you because your profound wisdom sums up their philosophy.

An angry exchange could break out between you and a friend or neighbour. They don't respond well to your pushy behaviour, while you can't abide their stubborn stance. The two of you need to take a break from each other. Once you've had a chance to cool down, you'll realise you've been narrow minded and unfair. Issue a sincere apology or you'll never repair the damage to this relationship. Don't hesitate to boast about an unusual accomplishment.

Spending money out of fear or frustration could put you in a dangerous place. Get control over your emotions before heading off to the stores. Stay off the computer if you're an online shopper. If you're in a relationship, you need to gain a better understanding of your financial standing as a couple. Take some time to review your bank statements. You may not like what you find. Fortunately, you're capable of making your own fortune.

A show of temper will ultimately backfire on you. You'll catch more flies with honey than you will with vinegar. Make an extra effort to be kind and compassionate towards a difficult relative. If you play your cards right, you could be offered a lucrative job in banking, or property management. Any ventures connected with money or land are all good now. An electric attraction to an offbeat artist may be too powerful to resist.

A bureaucratic official could be highly unreasonable. Don't waste your time arguing with this idiot. Demand to speak with their superior. If that isn't possible, write a formal letter of complaint. Your gift with words will make a deep impression with the powers that be. Don't be surprised when an important official comes forward to help you. Be realistic about your health. It's fine to celebrate with good food and fine wine, provided it's in moderation.

Putting a child or lover on a pedestal could create huge problems for you both. Until you try a more realistic view of this person, you'll be setting yourselves up for a huge disappointment. The time has come to admit your beloved has flaws, just like anybody else. Peer pressure could push you to spend money you don't have. Stop trying to impress others with a show of wealth. Friends who truly care about you will respect you if you live within your means.

Someone with a power trip could give you an ultimatum. If there's anything you hate, it's being backed into a corner. Unfortunately, you could lose a great deal if you break ties with this bully. It's more prudent to go along with the programme, at least for now. Relatives could be very critical of your decision to play the game, but only because they don't understand the full scope of your situation. Share your frustrations with a friend.

You could turn someone into a hidden enemy if you keep trying to convert him to your point of view. As far as religion and politics are concerned, you've got to live and let live. No amount of talking will change this person's mind. A book or movie you find inspirational will have no effect on their way of thinking. Some unusual changes are occurring on the home front. Most of them will benefit you. Getting your own place might be a good idea.

Your kindness and generosity will be rewarded. A friend with important connections could put in a good word for you at a hospital, school, or cultural institution. Be prepared to move to the head of the line. You've always enjoyed being treated like a VIP, and today will be no exception. Be realistic when it comes to a charitable organisation. If this group isn't well run, keep your money in your pocket.

Giving someone the benefit of the doubt could be a mistake. When it comes to putting your faith in somebody, give careful consideration to their past behaviour. A leopard can never change their spots. A business or romantic partner could pressure you into taking a job you don't want. Stand your ground, even at the risk of having a heated argument. Ultimately, you're going to have to pay the price for this decision.

Giving in to irrational fears will ultimately work against you. It's time to take a risk, even if it means losing money or social standing. If you don't make this leap now, you'll live to regret it. Beware of overdoing it at the gym today. You run the risk of getting injured. On the plus side, this is a wonderful day to relax and have fun with friends. An older friend could give you valuable insight on an ethical matter.
