A frustrating year. Your efforts seem to bring the opposite results to those intended. You almost believe the truth of the saying, "No good deed goes unpunished." The more you do for people the less you seem to be appreciated. There's no point in suggesting you be more self-centered because a leopard can't change its spots. Nevertheless, try to learn from experience. Good news arrives from an unexpected source in October or November. There is difficulty related to elevators or escalators so exercise caution. A sibling offers good advice which you should heed but won't. You need to learn how to accept compliments gracefully. Perhaps you could rehearse a simple response such as, "Thank you very much."
