This is not a good time to get entangled in a legal dispute. Your best course of action is to settle matters outside of court, even if it means walking away with less than you deserve. It's better to get something than nothing. Fortunately, your love life is going extremely well. Spending time with an attentive admirer will take your mind off a stressful argument. You will have a great time finalising, building and growing a creative project together.

It will be difficult collecting money that is owed to you. An irresponsible friend or relative won't be able to repay the funds you lent some time ago. Customers also are slow about paying remittances. This will force you to be creative about fulfilling your own financial obligations. Fortunately, your family can help cover some outstanding expenses. It feels good to have a support system that sustains you through times of trial. This, too, shall pass. Practice that infamous patience of yours.

This is not a good time to enter into an agreement of any kind. Terms will not be favourable to you. Hold out for a deal that protects your interests. Don't worry about appearing selfish or difficult. You have to be your own advocate. If you're anxious, take a short trip out of town. Getting a change of scenery will cause you to see possibilities that were previously hidden from view. You might be able to join forces with someone who is more in sync with you.

Work will be stressful. Dealing with unpleasant people and crabby colleagues will wear on your nerves. Find ways to decompress throughout the day. Enjoy a cup of tea, listen to some relaxing music or take a brisk walk around the block on your break. Your masterful handling of a difficult situation will result in a raise, promotion or both. You have good instincts about what people need to be satisfied. Whether this means commiserating over a problem or offering discount is immaterial.

This isn't a good time to take a financial or emotional risk. Keep your money in the bank and your feelings to yourself. You've always liked living on the edge, which can result in some tremendous gains, as well as devastating losses. The stars aren't aligning in your favour right now, so err on the side of caution. If you need help, ask for it. Don't let pride get in the way of getting the resources you require to succeed.

Your heart isn't in a family gathering. It may be best to skip this event. People will complain loudly about your absence. Don't let public opinion change your decision. Sneaking off to a tranquil retreat is strongly recommended. Take this opportunity to review your situation. Moving to a place that lends more privacy will be therapeutic. You're tired of being a referee for everyone's arguments. A little peace and quiet will fuel your creativity. Don't be surprised when you rediscover an old love.

It's important to maintain your standards, even if it means delivering criticism. You'd never dream of offering unsolicited feedback. When confronted with substandard work, keep your mouth shut. If people press you for your opinion, be brief and honest. Resist the temptation to make personal remarks. The more professional you behave, the harder it will be to accuse you of jealousy. Socialising with friends after hours can help you forget stressful encounters at work.

There won't be money available for extras. Look for bargains whenever you have to shop. Cutting out discount coupons and redeeming rebates will make your budget stretch far. If you want to break this cycle, you have to find a better job. Explore opportunities in the entertainment industry. You can land a high profile job with a good salary. Be sure to emphasise your ability to work well in a crisis. This talent will make you a top candidate. You're good at finding creative solutions that satisfy both parties' needs.

You won't make a very good impression on others, especially if you act like you know everything. Be willing to entertain the possibility that others have a certain amount of knowledge and expertise. The more open you are to suggestions, the easier it will be to formulate a plan of action. If people have a positive experience working with you, it will be possible to land a teaching job. It will be fun working with a group of advanced students.

Unwelcome attention from an admirer is making you nervous. Make your displeasure clear. If this pest continues to bother you, file a formal complaint. Having a paper trail will give you a greater measure of power. There's no reason you should put up with this nonsense. A relationship with someone you adore is heating up. Think about taking a trip together. Getting away from home will draw you closer together. An appreciation of the finer things in life paves the way for a happy relationship.

Lack of cooperation is causing resentment. You're tired of having to organise gatherings and parties all the time. Although you enjoy hosting get togethers once in a while, you don't like it when the burden always falls on you. If someone has a birthday on the horizon, announce you will not be available to throw a big bash. Don't feel pressured to give any more details than that. The sooner friends realise they can't rely on you to organise their lives, the healthier these relationships will be.

Negative publicity is upsetting. Beware of venting your anger on a social media site. These remarks will come back to haunt you. If you do say something you later regret, make an immediate and sincere apology. Don't make excuses for why you made hurtful remarks. Simply take responsibility for them and change your ways. In time, faith will be restored in you. In situations like these, actions really do speak louder than words. Pattern your behaviour after someone you've always admired.
