.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Taking a rigid position will reflect badly on you. As much as you hate to do so, you have to compromise, if only to satisfy the powers that be. If you're perceived as being unable to get along with others, you'll be passed up for a promotion. Grit your teeth, take a deep breath, and approach the opposition. Bending on a couple of key points will allow you to get the majority of your agenda passed. Avoid having a temper tantrum, at least in public.
.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) You've got to be honest with yourself; the reason you keep falling short of your goals is from a lack of diligence. If you're going to reach the top, you'll have to put pleasure on the back burner. Enrol in a long term educational programme and stick with it. Once you graduate, you'll get much better job offers and assignments. Devise a plan to stay focused when times get tough. Having a support system of friends and relatives will stop you dropping out.
.
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Fear of boredom prompts you to do something rash. Resist the temptation to leave a steady job, even if it is driving you to distraction. Right now, you need security more than stimulation. You can always entertain yourself after hours with an extreme sport or passionate love affair. It's especially important to avoid weighing down your body with rich food and intoxicating beverages. You've got to be in top condition to handle the challenges ahead. Eat well and take regular exercise.
.
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) You're suffering from burnout, and no wonder. It's what happens when you burn the candle at both ends. Now you have to cut back your schedule and get more sleep. Don't bother defending your actions to other people. They have no idea how much you've sacrificed on their behalf. In time, the extent of your contributions will become known. Until then, you have to take care of yourself. Develop a relaxing bedtime routine so you can stave off insomnia.
.
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Stop making light of a health problem. You've got to get medical attention for an ache or pain that has been causing you trouble for some time. The longer you underplay this condition, the weaker your system will become. Part of the problem is you've been engaging in a strenuous routine for too long. Getting a change of scenery will help you recuperate. You might even want to take a long distance trip as a way to get away from the pressures at home.
.
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Resist the urge to let yourself go, even if it feels like nobody cares. While it's true you've experienced a series of crushing blows, you can't let these disappointments get you down. By exhibiting grace under fire, your detractors will become discouraged and seek another target. You'll also attract golden opportunities. People are always drawn to those who look great and walk with a spring in their step. Indulge in a little retail therapy to lift your spirits.
.
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Unless you're careful, intense anxiety can consume you, stop fretting over things you cannot control. By devising some relaxation techniques, you can avoid the sickening feeling that accompanies your fears. Breathe deep, do some stretches, and jot your feelings into a notebook. Sometimes the best way to exorcise a demon is to write down the worst case scenario. Once you see how vivid your imagination really is, you'll laugh at the gloomy tales you've been telling yourself.
.
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Insulting your enemies is like pouring petrol over a smouldering fire. Ease up. If you're perceived as being petty or jealous, you'll lose a great measure of your power. Stop betraying your emotions. Be pleasant, even to your most severe critics. Adopt a positive outlook, even if it feels like your efforts are being thwarted at every turn. Putting people at ease will give you a decided advantage. You're playing a dangerous game here, and must stack the deck on your favour.
.
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Overindulging in creature comforts is making you soft; it's time to get back to basics. Cut back your spending. Embark on a challenging project. Volunteer for a charitable cause. Staying busy will keep you out of trouble. It will also stop you going into debt. There's nothing more dangerous than shopping when you are bored. If your bills have spiralled out of control, set up a payment plan so you can become financially independent again. You hate being indebted to others.
.
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Being in fear of betrayal is no way to go through life. You have to have a little more faith in others, not to mention yourself. Avoid ordering others to do your bidding, or you will only garner resentment. You always catch more flies with honey than you would with vinegar. Be conscious of the ways in which people try to serve you. Express your gratitude for these small gestures. The more thankful you are, the more devoted your minions will become.
.
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Lately, you've been feeling small and insignificant; it scares you to think how little people need you. The truth is quite different, but you're determined to take a bleak view of life. If you're going to get out of this rut, reach out to your nearest and dearest. Spend quality time with your friends. It's sometimes difficult for people to feel close to you, because you rarely betray your emotions.
.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You feel alienated from others, and no wonder. You occupy the realm of emotion, while your friends are utterly logical. They simply can't understand how you can become so upset over seemingly minor issues. What they don't realise is how deeply you sense others' pain. It's like a physical blow to you. The best way to get over it is to isolate yourself. Sneak off to some secluded retreat where you can nurse your wounds in private, without the sound of criticism ringing in your ears.

North Country (film)
.
In 1989, Josey, played by Charlize Theron, returns to her hometown in Northern Minnesota with her children, Sam (Thomas Curtis) and Karen (Elle arents'Peterson), after escaping from her abusive husband. She moves in with her parents, Alice (Sissy Spacek) and Hank (Richard Jenkins). Hank is ashamed of Josey, who became pregnant at the age of 16, and believes that this was the result of Josey being promiscuous. The townspeople believe the same, which causes them not to allow Josey to blend in. Her only friends are Kyle Dodge (Sean Bean) and his wife Glory (Frances McDormand), who works at the local iron mines – the town's main source of income – and they promise to get Josey a job there. They also allow Josey to stay at their place with her children, due to Josey's bad relationship with her father.
Josey quickly befriends the other female workers at the mine, which include Glory, Sherry (Michelle Monaghan) and Big Betty (Rusty Schwimmer), and becomes the target of provocations spearheaded by Bobby Sharp (Jeremy Renner), Josey's high school boyfriend who also works at the mine. Her attempts to stop the provocations by reporting it to the mine's higher-up only worsen it, and soon all the women are being verbally and physically abused by men at the factory. Josey, in addition, is also sexually harassed by many of them, including Bobby.
.
Josey's refusal in giving in on her male co-workers' demands causes them to spread lies about her being promiscuous and trying to seduce them, which cause Josey to be further segregated not only by her father and the men's wives, but also by Sam, who starts believing that his mother is indeed promiscuous after discovering that he was the result of her teenage pregnancy. After even the mine's board of directors refuses to hear Josey's complaints about the way women are treated at the mine, she quits and asks Bill White (Woody Harrelson) – a friend of Kyle and Glory and also a lawyer – to help her file a lawsuit against the company. Bill tells her that the best way to win a case like this is by convincing the other women to back up her statements in court. The women, however, are hesitant, as this would mean risking their jobs, and refuse. Josey also discovers that Glory has ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), or Lou Gehrig's Disease.
.
Hank is disappointed by Josey's decision, and Alice leaves him, tired of hearing him criticizing their daughter for something that was not her fault. Hank later attends a union meeting. Josey appears, hoping to address the miners and explain her reasons for suing the mine. When they refuse to hear her and start verbally abusing her, Hank stands up for his daughter and reprimands his co-workers for their rude treatment of Josey and all the women at the factory.ç
.
At the court, the mine's lawyers attempt to hold Josey's so-called "promiscuous" past against her, and have Bobby Sharp testify on how Sam is the fruit of a relationship between Josey and one of her teachers. Josey then reveals the truth: When she and Bobby were 16, they were caught skipping class and kissing by their teacher and were forced to stay after class as punishment. When detention ended, Bobby left first to start up his car, intending to give Josey a ride. While he was away, Josey was attacked and raped by her teacher. Bobby witnessed the act and, unable to cope with the trauma, interpreted it as consensual sex. Josey got pregnant from the rape, but refused to abort the baby or give it away, and had Sam. This causes both him and her father to regret the way they treated her over the years.
.
The revelation of the true circumstances behind the event that led the entire town to judge and mistreat Josey causes several of the miners to repent for their actions and apologize. It also gives the women the courage they need, and they stand up, backing up Josey's claims about the harassment. With this, the mining company loses the case and is forced to pay the women for what they suffered, in addition to establishing a sexual harassment policy at the workplace. Josey, vindicated, thanks Bill for all that he has done for her and her family and departs to teach Sam how to drive, telling him that she intends to buy him a car on his 18th birthday.
