Responsibilities to loved ones should trump your career responsibilities. Of course, this won't sit well with your boss, but you're the one who has to draw the line. If you are in charge of a large group of people, you may have to grant one of your staff members some time off. Although this will put you at a disadvantage, refusing their request will cause even more problems. You can't afford to look like an ogre right now. Everyone has family emergencies; take them in your stride.

Getting into a legal conflict will be dangerous. You can't afford to lose your shirt. Drop the case, settle out of court, or don't press the matter in the first place. Although you think it's obvious you're the innocent party, a judge will think differently. If you're looking for a job, it will be fruitless. The only positions available demands advanced technological skills. You may have to get specialised training to land such a position.

Fighting over an inheritance defies the memory of a cherished relative. Drop all of your claims and focus your attention elsewhere. Although it pains you to let a greedy family member scoop up all the spoils, it's better stooping to their level. Besides, you have your memories to keep you warm. The strange thing is, as soon as you stop bickering, you will receive notification that a certain heirloom had been put aside with your name on it.

A best friend, lover, or business partner is quite argumentative. You won't be able to reason with them. Instead of putting yourself in the line of fire, spend the day with a supportive relative. Stay overnight, if you have to. Once the morning breaks, you'll be clear as to what you want from this relationship. You're tired of being the scapegoat every time something goes wrong. Fortunately, there are several financial opportunities for you to strike out on your own.

You won't be able to finish all the work that's been heaped on your pile. Ask for assistance before you miss an important deadline. Your colleagues may not be very sympathetic, but it's because they don't realise everything that is being asked of you. Then again, maybe this is payback for the times when you shirked responsibility while they worked. Be honest with yourself. This could be your chance to repair relationships which have suffered from a lackadaisical attitude.

Buying expensive luxuries won't make you any happier. It's hard to struggle while so many others seem to be living high on the hog. What you don't see are the bills that keep pouring in to these big spenders. You could never live with such a burden hanging over your head. Besides, things won't always be this difficult. You'll have a divine opportunity to increase your earning potential next year. Right now you need to reconcile yourself to living on a budget.

Anger finally bubbles to the surface, and it's not pretty. You're usually quite good at keeping a lid on disturbing emotions. That won't be the case today. You're sick and tired of being asked to handle all the work while everybody else goes out and has a great time. Whether you're struggling under a mound of errands, working overtime to keep the family afloat, or both, you need to put your foot down. Gather everybody together for a conference, then delegate jobs to each member of the household.

A heated exchange breaks out, making everyone around uncomfortable. Still, you refuse to remain silent in the face of somebody's outrageous behaviour. If you don't say what's on your mind, this pest will just continue being inconsiderate. A hidden enemy has been working to make your life more difficult. Perhaps they are spreading rumours about your personal life. Maybe some of your work has been sabotaged. Whatever the situation, you need to watch your back.

You're ready to take on somebody whose unethical behaviour is compromising the whole organisation. Take this troublemaker aside and let them know you're aware of their actions. Threaten to tell the authorities unless they change. This could put you in the line for danger, but it's better than subjecting the entire team to trouble. Fortunately, you're so intimidating that your threats will be taken seriously. Nobody wants to tangle with you when you get angry!

You're very argumentative today, and run the risk of offending a friend. Although you highly disapprove of your loved one's behaviour, that doesn't give you the right to judge. Stop commenting on people's private lives. If you can't condone it, say so in a calm manner and break off the relationship. Shaming a person won't change their behaviour, but standing by your own principles might make a difference. At any rate, watch your temper and don't lord it over others.

Keep your emotions a secret for the time being. You're aware that serious repercussions are coming for someone who has been engaging in deceitful or dodgy dealings. Tipping your hand could impede the wheels of justice. Although you hate watching the net close around anyone, this rogue has to be held accountable for their actions. Looking the other way will only cause others to be abused. Remember, there is no such thing as a victimless crime.

You're being pressured to share your resources with others, but resists. You can't really afford to make loans or give presents. Besides, the goals of the people involved are questionable. Don't let your generous heart prompt you to make a foolish decision. You work hard for your money, and should save it for your own security and protection. Nobody else can protect your interests like you. If the party in question keeps hounding you, maybe you should break off this relationship.
