Competition is weighing on you. You are ready to be alone with your thoughts. Take time to re-charge and resolve your current worries. Debts or recent expenditure may be causing you stress. Try meditation or dream journaling. Look for answers in quiet, contemplative spaces. Your future happiness depends on your own choices. Your attitude will impact your level of success. Again, you will be concerned with extra income, this time through extra work/overtime. Past work and accomplishments may prove profitable. Count on a raise both in status and your own self image. In any case, money and perks are more than good enough.Showing your feelings may not be the best thing to do right now. Keeping to yourself could save you from unwanted entanglements. Be staunch, do not stoop to complain, and you will gain the respect of all for your worldly reticence. Send requests through channels and things will flow more easily.
