Relationships that are not working may needed to be ended. Affairs of the heart may feeling drained right now but work life is immensely satisfying. Enjoy the recognition you've earned for all your hard work. You are seen as a competent leader who gets results. Take time off to mend fences at home. Your home life feels more troubled than usual but you are needed by your family as a source of inspiration and honest advice. Your loved ones have stood by you through thick and thin. Always keep in mind that wanting people to dance of your order would only make matter worse.

Family tensions tend to go from simmer to boil at this time of year, and today is no exception. A relative could push your buttons, provoking Broadway-production-level drama. Disengage temporarily by pausing communication. Distract yourself in the second part of the day with a retail therapy escape (you’ll be amazed how quickly you’ll chop down that shopping list) or a mani-pedi. Plan a fun Friday night, meeting friends for a catch-up and, of course, to brag about the hauls you snagged at 60 percent off.
