If you're in over your head, admit it. Nobody will look down on you if you ask for help. Put your ego aside and let someone with more experience train you. It will take longer than expected to master this lesson. Be patient and ask for clarification when concepts elude you. Exploring unknown territory is usually pleasurable for you, but that's not the case with this particular task. Steel yourself to be uncomfortable for a little while longer. Your hard work will pay off.

Daydreaming will undermine your productivity. Make a list of short goals that are easily accomplished. Cross each task off as you complete them. This will help you gather momentum and meet your goals. Don't discuss your personal life with colleagues. It's best to keep your personal and professional lives separate. If a rival discovers a way to get you in trouble, they will report you. Play by the rules. Cutting corners could be disastrous. Your progress is being monitored, so stay on your toes.

People are giving you a lot of advice, but you have to follow your own heart. When it comes to making decisions, you prefer taking the logical approach. Unfortunately, all the pertinent facts aren't available. You will have to operate on instinct. Relieving a loved one of heavy responsibilities is your first priority. If this means turning down a job, so be it. Other professional opportunities will arrive. Right now, maintaining stability will be wiser than climbing the ladder to success.

Your professional reputation is suffering. It's impossible to do the job of two people. Talking to your superiors won't make any difference. They're also struggling with a shrinking budget and reduced staff. It will take time to find another position, so stay calm. If you land a low level position at a healthy company, take it. You'll quickly rise through the ranks, thanks to your executive ability. It's better to work for a thriving organisation than stay at one that is fighting to stay alive.

A legal matter is causing stress. If someone you are fighting in court makes provocative remarks, stay calm. You don't want to be on record as contributing to the acrimony. It's never easy dealing with petty people, especially for a generous soul like you. Fortunately, you have loving friends with whom you can talk. Discussing your problems will take the weight off your heart. It will also remind you what is truly important: strong relationships. Money, status and power are insignificant by comparison.

Keep a close eye on your credit card account. If you see any unusual activity, report it immediately. It's also wise to keep your bank statements under lock and key. An ounce of prevention will save you a lot of stress. If you have a romantic or business partner who is irresponsible with a joint fund, it may be time to put your share in another place. A sensible person like you needs money in the bank to feel secure.

Disagreements over a division of labour are creating stress in a relationship. You're tired of doing all the heavy lifting, especially in your social life. Being the sole person responsible for responding to invitations, sending gifts and acknowledging birthdays is unfair. If your best friend or amour is unwilling to perform these tasks, give them a job you dislike. Are you dealing with someone who won't do anything unpleasant? Then you should seriously examine why you're in this relationship.

You're worried about a loved one's health. Unfortunately, the person who is suffering refuses to change their ways. Nothing you will do or say will change their behaviour. Anyone who is going to reform must do so of their own volition. That doesn't mean you have to stick around and witness the fallout. You have every right to suspend your relationship and put your energy elsewhere. Forming healthier ties will make you feel better about life and its prospects.

When it comes to setting your priorities, put work ahead of play. Some compelling duties command your attention. Failure to hand in certain jobs will mean trouble for your colleagues. You can't risk making enemies of your fellow workers. Did you promise a friend to attend to certain responsibilities? Don't break your word. You will have plenty of time to have fun when your duties have been dispatched. If you're suffering burnout, arrange to enjoy a day off in the near future.

You're having difficulty communicating with a headstrong relative. What this individual wants isn't healthy for the rest of the group. Unfortunately, this family member is willing to resort to outrageous behaviour to get their way. Don't fall victim to a temper tantrum. People who don't understand the situation may accuse you of being hard hearted or neglectful. You don't owe these people explanations. Your first responsibility is to the most vulnerable members of your kin.

Technical breakdowns and traffic jams will wreak havoc with your schedule. Back up your computer, keep your phone fully charged and have another plan ready at all times. You never know when you will have to change direction. If it's too much trouble to change course, cancel your plans. Lots of people will be disappointed, but it can't be helped. Sometimes the Universe conspires to keep certain events from unfolding. Trying to fight this force is an exercise in futility.

Signing a contract is not advised. You should hold out for better terms than the ones you are being offered. It may be difficult to walk away from a deal, especially if you're strapped for cash. Breathe deep and check your conscience. Sometimes it's better to take a stand than accept shabby terms. By refusing to sell your superior services for a pittance, you'll attract more profitable offers. Until then, stay calm and be good to yourself. This period of anxiety will soon pass.
