A powerful desire to travel, study or write cannot be satisfied. You have to finish some routine work first. Try not to dwell on your disappointment. Being happy is largely a matter of choice. There are many things working in your favour right now. Concentrate on these blessings. Give thanks for regular pay, loving friends and a comfortable home. A chance to venture into greener pastures will arrive, but only when you cultivate contentment.

You feel like you're not getting the affection you deserve. If you're single, stop lamenting your relationship status. There are so many wonderful things about being free. You can set your own schedule, make decisions without conferring with anyone else and move wherever you want. Part of the problem is your social circle. Lots of your friends are in relationships. The perfect partner will come when you least expect it.

A best friend or romantic partner is very moody. Jealousy is at the root of the matter. You're getting all the fame and acclaim, while they have been thrust into the background. Think about how this is impacting your relationship. Although you don't want to undermine your success, it may be wise to play it down. Make it your mission to draw attention to a friend's accomplishments. Post some complimentary remarks on a social media website.

You feel a powerful need to keep busy, but this could lead to burnout. Instead of pushing yourself so hard, take a break. Learning how to relax and have fun isn't easy for a caretaker for you. That's because you're always worrying about your loved ones. Stop to think about what is being accomplished by all this anxiety. Instead of wasting valuable energy on fear, pamper yourself. Luxuriate in the bathtub, take a long nap or buy some creature comforts.

You want to be the centre of attention, but it isn't possible. A friend who has experienced a terrible shock needs all the kindness and consolation you can give. That means you should keep a low profile. Instead of showing off your creative skills, summon your considerable generosity. Cook your loved one a few meals, run some errands on their behalf and bring them some inspirational reading material. There will be other opportunities to showcase your abilities.

Resist the temptation to bury your head in the sand. A close relationship is showing signs of strain. Ignoring the issue will only make it worse. Part of the problem is you are imposing your family's beliefs onto your amour. Stop passing judgment on others. Accept your loved one's differences. If you don't think you can reconcile these philosophies, it may be time to part ways. The important thing is to bring these differences out in the open.

Upsetting news about a job will reach your ears. An assignment will suddenly dry up, forcing you to look elsewhere for employment. Remain calm. You'll be able to land another position so long as you are patient and persistent. Fill out as many applications as possible. Spread the word of your job search on social media sites. Join an employment agency. Covering all of your bases will result in several job offers.

Money is a source of strain. You want to go on holiday but may not have the finances to go. Armchair travel can be a pleasing alternative to going away. Head for the library and check out a book set in a foreign locale. It's gratifying to know you don't need lots of cash to be happy. As soon as this revelation occurs, you'll be able to land a lucrative job. Let this be a lesson to you. If you want to change your luck, change your perspective.

You're moody and sensitive, especially when it comes to family matters. Although you should make a big change, emotional ties to home are holding you back. Stop making excuses for your failure to act. Just take a leap of faith. Your nearest and dearest will learn to live without your constant presence. Becoming more independent will actually strengthen your relationships, not weaken them. Start looking for your own place to live.

Don't be afraid of radical mood swings. They are signals that something must change. Taking a short trip for pleasure won't be convenient, but it will be therapeutic. When you're mired in problems, it can help to get a change of scenery. There are options you haven't considered. Breaking a bad habit, going into rehab, or embarking on a healthier lifestyle could be in the cards. It's just a matter of summoning your courage and making a fresh start.

Your social circle is undergoing upheaval. A close friend will move away, leaving the rest of your relationships uncertain. It's important to surround yourself with people who are supportive and sympathetic. If you've had difficulty connecting with your nearest and dearest, it may be because you no longer have anything in common. Join a club or organisation that is devoted to your favourite hobby. You're sure to make some great new friends in this group.

Your career is undergoing a dry spell. This is frustrating, because you feel like your artistic talents aren't being properly utilised. If you're looking for creative fulfilment, launch a project in your free time. Although you prefer to get paid for your work, there will be something liberating about doing your own thing. Nobody can veto your ideas when you're operating independently. Let your imagination run wild. It will take you to exciting places that uplift and sustain you.
