Don't feel let down just because other people didn't live up to their promises. If you don't rely on others, you won't have that problem. Do the work yourself and take full credit. Your determination to make personal changes will be admired by friends and enhance your reputation. Don't let your mate take you for granted or get away with being evasive.
Empty promises regarding financial matters are evident.
Look over legal documents closely before you sign on the dotted line. Don't lend money or possessions to friends or relatives. Talk things through. It's time to build on what you've got or move on and start something new. Do your work and don't question what's going on around you.
