Someone may not be as grateful as you think for your constructive criticisms; perhaps it's better to offer praise. It's not your job to judge other people's progress. In fact, the more accepting you are, the greater your success will be. Think of how you feel when your efforts are denigrated and devalued: enough said.

Being completely self-reliant is your way of overcoming your doubts and complications rooted in your childhood. Anger from the past is preventing you from accepting help from others. You're tired of being so responsible and reliable all the time. Let somebody else grab the reins whilst you relax and enjoy yourself.

Your charm and wit is enough to win over the greatest cynic and you can use your powers to gain a favour for a loved one or pal. Performing kind acts gives you a profound sense of fulfilment. Just be careful to draw the line between friends and opportunists or someone could take advantage of you.

Your generosity is draining you of precious resources, so start demanding what you're worth. There's nothing wrong with charging for your services, especially if energy levels are starting to drop. Nothing lifts your drooping spirits like feeling valued and respected for your work. It's great to be appreciated, wouldn't ya know!

One reason you haven't attained the recognition you seek is that you have squandered your time on fruitless ventures. You've plenty of willpower to rearrange your priorities, so dump what isn't working. Also, jealousy directed at a relative is unjustified, whether you realise it or not, there was a lot of hard work and sacrifice involved.

You must climb out of the hole you've dug for yourself, because other folk won't help you out of it. Whenever you get into a situation like this, it's important to remember that everything you need in life rests within. Accepting this fact opens your eyes to possibilities that were previously hidden from view.

As tempting as retail therapy may be, you're going to have to economise to stay or be materially secure. Expensive entertainments are out, but this is a blessing in disguise. Spend more time at home with folks you love. Simple pleasures like board or computer games are cheap and fun ways to bond with those you've neglected.

Bite your tongue when speaking to a respected person, or you could regret it. Everybody resents authority figures on some level, but you have to admit the person in question has worked to get where they are. You'll never gain their approval with snide remarks and sarcasm. Be agreeable for your own sake whatever you feel inside.

You've plenty of natural talent, but you'll never go anywhere with it unless you get training. This means sacrificing leisure time in favour of practice. Your work seems less like a chore when you start seeing results. In the meantime, stay focused. Big rewards are on the way materially and emotionally.

An arrogant show-off will really annoy you, but partly it's because you envy their attitude. Modesty hasn't taken you far these past few weeks. Take a different approach, for a little self promotion goes a long way, making this is an ideal time to pursue a plum position. Be ruthlessly charming and calculatingly shrewd.

You absolutely detest it when others tell you what to do, but let today be the exception. Admit you're too impulsive for your own good. By following a loved one's advice, you'll make the headway in your career. The kinds of dreams you have take careful planning and preparation so pace yourself accordingly.

Everybody wants more and more of your time and attention, which is boosts your morale but exhausts you physically. You don't have to accept every offer that is made to you. Everybody has a right to have time and space to themselves. Besides, you'll seem more exclusive when you cut down your commitments. Don't dilute your popularity.
