Discussing your favourite books and movies fosters a feeling of closeness. If there's anything you can't stand, it's snobbery. In the past, someone mocked your choices, making you reluctant to discuss these matters. Don't worry about that happening now; you should feel comfortable about opening up to your friends. A family occasion could conflict with personal plans. Try not to dwell on your disappointment. You can always reschedule your outing to another day.

Resist the urge to participate in gossip. You don't want to spread erroneous information. Besides, when people see you talking this way, they'll stop trusting you. It's better to preserve your sterling reputation. A little more money will become available, making daily life more comfortable. This would be a good time to buy a computer or phone. Any device that improves your communication with the outside world is worth investigating. Get the best you can afford, you won't be disappointed.

Your optimism can move mountains. Don't take 'No' for an answer, especially regarding creative projects. If money is a problem, you can always find a cheaper alternative. Working with recycled materials will be a fun challenge. It will be necessary to cut back on luxuries for the short term future. That won't be a problem, as you're not terribly materialistic. Besides, you enjoy the challenge of making your money stretch as far as possible. Cut out money off coupons, search for sales, and send in rebates.

Try not to be too self centred, especially when dealing with family. A relative needs extra care and attention. Although you hate tearing your attention away from a romance, you don't have a choice. Fortunately, a religious or cultural institution may be able to provide assistance with your kin. Don't be afraid to apply for help. You shouldn't have to struggle with this situation alone. Besides, having additional resources will make it easier to be cheerful and positive when doing your part.

You've got a very soft heart, which makes you vulnerable to manipulators. If someone asks you for a loan or favour, be ready to refuse. You work hard for your money and shouldn't give it away to people who will squander it. If you want to be a force for good, join a volunteer organisation. Teaching people who lack valuable skills or running errands for hospital patients will be a good use of your time. It will also erase feelings of isolation that occasionally darken your outlook.

A friend will break their promise, making you angry and resentful. As an extremely conscientious person, you are frequently let down by others. This can really sour your relationships. It's important to be highly discerning about the company you keep. If people continually cancel plans or fail to deliver, you must keep them at arm's length. The good news is that your high principles make you a hot commodity on the job market. Your boss knows you are ultra reliable.

Sometimes you have to impose the rules, even with good customers. If you make an exception for one person, you'll just encounter headaches later down the road. It's possible you will lose a regular client, and that's a shame. Ultimately you're principled stance will win a lot of admirers. An opportunity to travel and study is coming your way. Have your passport updated and be ready to leave at a moment's notice. Chances like these are few and far between.

It's impossible to see eye to eye with someone who grew up in a very different culture. Some of their attitudes seem downright offensive, but this is not the time to speak your mind. After all, you probably hold some beliefs that are upsetting to them. There's no point in being morally superior. The world is comprised of all different types of people; embrace it. An intense flirtation is a welcome diversion. It feels good to trade mock insults with a sexy newcomer.

It will be difficult to collect a debt. This will be extremely inconvenient, as you have your own bills to pay. Look for more reliable sources of income. Fortunately, a business or romantic partner is doing very well financially. You'll get a share of their earnings, which is only fair. After all, you are partially responsible for their success. If you're looking for work, seek opportunities at a school of higher education. A perfect job is just waiting for you.

Resolving disagreements will be difficult. You have a tendency to act one way in public and another in private. Your best friend or lover wants a little more consistency. The problem is you are hyper aware of outside opinion. Projecting an air of success and authority eases your insecurity. Unfortunately, this feels inauthentic to loved ones. Try adopting a more natural attitude. It will be stressful at first, but you'll eventually learn to relax. People will warm to the real you quite quickly.

Taxing your body with too much fat, sugar, and alcohol will take its toll. Be sparing with your diet, especially if you have a busy schedule. It may be best to bring your lunch instead of buy it from a local eatery. That way, you can practice portion control and enjoy some healthier choices. Spending time with someone younger will be good for you. Their confident optimism will remind you that happiness is a choice. Focus on all the blessings you currently enjoy.

Flattery will get you nowhere. Resist the urge to pile someone with false compliments. You're better off maintaining a tactful silence if you dislike their creative work. This is difficult for you, because you're reluctant to discourage anyone from doing what they love. Spending time with family is therapeutic. Your nearest and dearest understand you, and won't try to turn you into something you are not. You value relationships over material goods, which sets you apart from the crowd. You'll always be rich in friendship.
