It's important to be practical. Pushing a project through to completion before it is ready will cause regret. Go slow, check your work and make sure everything is correct before submitting it for review. Glaring errors will reflect poorly on you. If you're going to climb the ladder to success, you must earn the approval of both your peers and superiors. Be willing to wait your turn, to do some fact checking and to accept constructive criticism. Good things come to those who wait.

You won't be able to do what you want. Instead of fighting the system, give in gracefully. The last thing you want is to lose things you value for the sake of a temper tantrum. Although the situation you face is unfair, you must not let it defeat you. After receiving a devastating decision, stop what you're doing. Take a few deep breaths. Bring your mind to a memory that gives you joy. Then, when your rage has dispersed, you'll be ready to formulate a plan of action.

An irresponsible friend is trying to drag you down with them. When they ask you to participate in a practical joke, you should refuse. What seems like an innocent prank could quickly escalate into a hurtful action. You do not want to be implicated in behaviour like this. It's possible you are dealing with an unbalanced person who cannot process their anger in a healthy way. The sooner you cut off this relationship, the better. Some people are too volatile to remain in your social circle.

A shake up at work will leave people confused as to who is in charge. This is not the time to make any sudden power plays. The best course of action is to quietly launch a job search. By keeping calm, you'll find a much better job than the one you currently hold. It will take time to locate the perfect opportunity, so be patient. Meanwhile, let everybody else fight over the few remaining scraps that remain of your present company.

You've always had a unique way of looking at the world. It's one of the things that makes you so charming. When your offbeat ideas come in conflict with those of conventional types, problems will occur. Instead of trying to convert others to your point of view, remain silent. Most people are afraid to buck the system. They become angry and resentful when the status quo is questioned. Instead of rocking the boat, keep the peace. There will be better opportunities to implement changes later.

A source of unearned income is coming to an end. An insurance refund, legal settlement or inheritance has run its course. Instead of dwelling on your disappointment, look for a moneymaking opportunity. You're a service oriented person who likes giving people helpful information. Working at a library, writing freelance articles or operating a telephone helpline are all good possibilities to explore. The important thing is not to be defeated by a minor setback. The best is yet to be.

A breakdown in a close relationship must be addressed. You can no longer continue pretending nothing has happened. If you don't feel safe addressing the elephant in the room, plan to move at the earliest convenience. You want to be loyal and kind, but you can't subject yourself to abuse. Have you reached the end of your tether with an inconsiderate boss? Find another position as quickly as possible. Don't feel guilty about leaving the team in a bad situation. You must put your needs first.

It's important to pay attention to any aches and pains you are experiencing. Addressing a minor problem now will save a lot of time, money and aggravation later. Get an appointment with a trusted health professional as soon as possible. Be ready to overhaul your sleep, exercise and dietary habits. Stubbornly clinging to the old way of doing things will make a bad situation worse. It won't seem like you're making such a big sacrifice once you start feeling well again.

Problems with a romantic partner may not be worth solving. Although there is plenty of chemistry between you, that's not enough to sustain a meaningful relationship. There are plenty of fish in the sea. Be willing to go solo. This will give you a better sense of what qualities you really want in a partner. Are you already in a serious partnership? It's time to step up to the plate regarding shared duties. Throw in a load of laundry and do some grocery shopping.

A relative's unusual behaviour is driving you to distraction. If you think there are signs of a medical problem, set up a doctor's appointment as soon as possible. Are you simply dealing with someone who enjoys being difficult? Stop taking the bait. When they get in trouble, don't bail them out. Let them face the consequences of their actions. This may be difficult, especially if you're dealing with a very young or elderly person. There's no reason to feel guilty for teaching a valuable lesson.

Wait a full day before posting a response on social media. Someone's cruel or ignorant remark will make you see red. Rather than dignifying this outrageous comment with a response, give yourself time to construct a thoughtful rebuttal. Saying something equally cutting will only reflect badly on you. It's also important to remember that anything you post on the Internet can come back to haunt you. Your reputation is too precious to jeopardise for the sake of a troll.

Impulse shopping can get you into financial difficulty. It's best to keep your credit cards safe in your wallet. Stay away from one click purchasing buttons and don't go to your favourite shop on your break. If you really want to treat yourself, visit the library. You can gorge on all sorts of wonderful materials without spending a penny. The void you're feeling is emotional, not material. Fill this space with activities you love. Read a book, listen to music and watch some movies.
