Try not to be too strict about rules and regulations. While it makes you angry to see people disobeying orders, there are more important things demanding your attention. Concentrate on fulfilling your list of responsibilities. Wear headphones to drown out distractions. If that's not an option, try sneaking away to a private hideaway where you can work in peace. Satisfying an important client will lead to a lucrative work assignment. This is your chance to fulfil your leadership ability. Don't blow it.

Disagreements with colleagues or employees are wearing on your nerves. You're tiring of quibbling over the same problems day after day. Unfortunately, there won't be any respite. Stick with a job until it's finished or your professional reputation will be damaged. After you've completed your assignment, there will be an opportunity to change plans. Interviewing for another job or finding new staff will be a relief, because it will feel like you're finally moving forward.

Being more considerate towards others will improve your relationships. Lately, you've been wrapped up in personal matters. A rocky romance or an engrossing hobby has caused you to neglect your friends. This situation cannot continue. You've always drawn great strengths from your social network. Neglecting it will be cause for regret. The last thing you want is to be left alone just when you're craving companionship again. Be sure to respond to emails and phone messages.

There won't be much help available on the home front. A lazy relative or roommate is creating lots of work for you. Their refusal to do their fair share is making you angry. If you're dealing with a child, you should impose punishments for each infraction. Continuing to clean their messes will create a toxic dynamic that is unhealthy for both of you. Are you coping with an irresponsible adult? Perhaps it's time to part ways, at least temporarily.

It's hard to focus. There are so many distractions around you. Unless you concentrate on one area, you will continue to spin your wheels. It would be wise to tackle a small job that is easily dispatched. Crossing this item off your 'to do' list will make you feel productive. Suddenly, it won't seem overwhelming to carry out another job. Slow and steady wins the race. If an important job slips through the cracks, don't make excuses. Accept responsibility and discuss ways forward with your boss.

Don't be jealous of a friend or lover. Although they're undeniably talented and attractive, that doesn't mean you are devoid of these qualities. You're intelligent, discerning and focused. Instead of building castles in the air, you construct them on the ground with the finest materials. People are impressed by your ability to spin straw into gold. Instead of yearning to possess other qualities, celebrate your own strengths. A respected expert might offer you a job, which will boost your ego.

It will be difficult to control your temper. Usually you're calm in the face of stress. That isn't the situation now, when your best friend or lover is pushing your buttons. Unless you confront them, your rage will boil over. Loud arguments can be therapeutic. It isn't healthy to let toxic feelings to fester. Model your behaviour after a colleague who has good boundaries. When they're pushed, they dig in their heels and fight back. You should do the same.

Demanding special attention will cause resentment. If you feel under the weather, keep it to yourself. Take the day off so you can rest and recuperate. Getting enough sleep and eating nourishing meals will go a long way towards restoring your health. If you lose a work assignment, stay calm. You can find another so long as you send out a few C.V.s and applications. Don't exaggerate your experience. Being overqualified could keep you out of the running for several positions.

People will think you're being difficult if you try to overthrow the social order. You can't abide stuffy rules, but sometimes they have been implemented for good reasons. Resist your urge to automatically rebel. An argument over money will be upsetting. You hate dealing with material concerns. Instead of keeping your head buried in the sand, face a financial shortage. You can get out of debt if you make a practical plan. Being economically independent will be worth the effort.

Using people to advance your social status is ill advised. You don't want to be branded as a manipulator. Your hard work and diligence are enough to get ahead. It's perfectly fine to cultivate relationships with people in your desired industry, but don't pretend to have affection for bullies and bores. If you want a promotion, it will be difficult to get it. A rival is in a better position to assume a high profile job. This could be a blessing in disguise. Your attentions are needed at home.

Take other people's opinions into account before making a decision. You're intent on rowing the boat in a certain direction, but the rest of the crew is against your plan. It's better to respect the majority. When people realise you are able to put your ego on the backburner, they'll work hard to help you with other ventures. Be willing to lose this battle to win a larger war. This strategy should appeal to a visionary like you.

Forcing people to wait on you will make you very unpopular. While it's understandable you want to be pampered, there are better ways of getting your demands met. Instead of expecting loved ones to drop everything for you, get a spa treatment. Hire a cleaning service. Treat yourself to a meal at a gourmet restaurant. A little guilt free indulgence will cause your eyes to sparkle. Don't be surprised when suitors come out of the woodwork.
