Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You're going to have to perform some unpleasant tasks to ensure a job is done properly. Nobody else cares as much as you do. Therefore, you must decide whether you're willing to lower your standards or roll up your sleeves. A perfectionist like you is bound to bite the bullet and put in the extra hours. Try not to let resentment consume you. Although your colleagues aren't nearly as diligent, they are talented and capable. You just have different standards.
.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) A desire for acceptance could tempt you to bend over backwards for a demanding authority figure. Resist the urge to do so. You'll gain more respect by standing your ground. Blessed with a wonderful work ethic, you don't have to go out of your way to impress anyone. If someone tries to alter your methods, dig in your heels. You've spent years perfecting your techniques, and don't need an amateur to tell you how to improve them. Summon your self confidence.
.
Gemini (May22/Jun21) The competition is stiff, and you're not sure whether you'll measure up. Instead of pushing yourself too hard, just focus on doing your best. Let the shining stars take centre stage. Eventually, there will be an opportunity to show off your unique talent. Right now you should focus on playing a supporting role. If someone criticises your efforts, pay attention. You could get some valuable advice on turning an average performance into a superior one.
.
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Taking care of a sick relative or neighbour gives you a sense of purpose. You love helping people in need. If you feel like your job is just a means to earn a pay cheque, consider getting a position in the non-profit arena. Alternatively you could volunteer at a hospital or animal shelter. You're always at your best when helping others. Doing such work every day will make you happier, healthier, and more energetic. Stop plodding along a treadmill that is robbing you of joy.
.
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Your legendary patience helps you endure trying circumstances. A self important authority figure will be thrown out of the organisation in due time. Until then, keep reminding yourself that you're contributing something of value, while your tormentor is woefully inept. When the people at the very top get wind of what's happening, they'll be furious. You shouldn't be the one to alert them to the problem. If you do, you'll only be implicated in the whole mess.
.
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Acquiring a new skill is just the challenge you need. You're very smart and pick things up quickly when you want to learn. The key is finding an instructor who bolsters your confidence. You need a teacher who has high standards and is sparing with extravagant praise. That way, when you get a compliment, you will know you have made real progress. Don't talk about your studies with people who can't appreciate them. You must be more discerning about friendships.
.
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Sometimes you have to learn how to appreciate the ordinary, not just the extraordinary. Living in the moment is critical to your happiness. Get into the habit of making a daily list of five things for which you are grateful. This will make you more aware of the blessings you enjoy, but often take for granted. It will also dispel that vague dissatisfaction that undermines your zest for life. When you're fully invested in life, you become a magnet to love, luck, and money.
.
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Certain colleagues are trying to make you into a scapegoat. Normally, you wouldn't care. You're not interested in proving yourself to a bunch of strangers. This time your professional reputation is being tarnished. You won't stand for this kind of slander. You've worked long and hard to get to where you are. Nasty gossip will cause people to think twice about using your services. Set the record straight and then confront the source of all these lies.
.
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) When the pressure gets too much to bear, you simply detach. This is maddening for the people around you, who really require some help. The next time you catch yourself spacing out, bring your attention back to the problem at hand. Ask a colleague, lover, or friend how you can help. By putting yourself on the line, you'll alleviate tension. You'll also enjoy a greater sense of community. It's never pleasant to cope with problems, but overcoming them is great.
.
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Pushing yourself beyond the limit of endurance will only jeopardise your health. Take a break, even if it means missing a deadline. It's not your fault impossible demands have been placed on your shoulders. Until the authorities realise there is too much work for one person, they'll continue to take advantage of your strong sense of responsibility. If you feel tired, leave early and take a nap. At the very least, turn your attention to a relaxing pastime.
.
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Don't be afraid to acknowledge your grief. There are worse things in life than feeling sad. If you keep refusing to address your loss, your sorrow will come out in unexpected ways. You might lash out at an innocent victim. You could subconsciously undermine your own attempts at success. Take a little time off to dwell on the past. Formulate a plan for the future. Spending more time on your own will put you back in touch with desires that have been dormant since childhood.
.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You have a tendency to become despondent at the first sign of boredom. A better strategy is to undertake a project. Cleaning the house, fixing a broken appliance, or sorting out a storage area will keep depression at bay. It will also make you feel useful. Swinging from one emotional extreme to another is taking a toll on your relationships. Strive for a middle ground with everything you do. Having a more balanced outlook will increase your popularity.
