Friend Borrowed Money But Not Paying You Back?

A friend of yours borrowed money from you -- and it's high time they pay you back. Can you broach the subject without putting your friendship in peril? How you handle this potentially thorny situation depends on your Sun sign!

Aries shoots from the hip and speaks without fear of consequences. These folks rarely hold grudges, though, and because of this, they're likely to clear the air faster than any other sign. Still, if they aren't repaid in due course, it will likely mean the end of the friendship.

Taurus will resent being placed in this predicament, so they'll complain discreetly elsewhere before exploding with outrage. They're known to be the possessive sort, and they believe that what's theirs is theirs. They'll dig their heels in, get their money back ... and walk away.

Gemini will drop hint after hint, their comments becoming increasingly pointed as time goes on. They dislike feeling used and will eventually blow up without a thought as to what the fall-out may be.

Cancer will feel hurt that their trust has been abused, but will find it difficult to confront a friend who may be struggling. They'll forgive for a long time since they like to think the best of people. However, if they ultimately feel betrayed, they'll be fierce with their comments!

Leo will hate having to lower themselves to ask for their loan back -- after all, they expect others to be as straight-up as they are. They'll eventually conjure up enough courage to bring it up, and whatever the result may be, they'll most likely be able to continue the friendship.

Virgo will sulk in private but remain a helpful friend, since it takes a good deal to force them to be upfront about demanding fairness. They'll put up with friends who do nothing but take and take for years ... but at some point they'll finally snap and walk away.

Libra will get straight to the point: An agreement is an agreement, and they expect it to be honored. They may use every ounce of charm they've got, but they can certainly be sticklers. They have no desire to retain friends who continually let them down.

Scorpio will brood, drop sarcastic hints and map out a strategy for repayment. Their unrelenting efforts will bring results, but it's highly unlikely they'll forgive or allow themselves to be placed in the same situation again.

Happy-go-lucky Sagittarius won't fuss too much, since they know that good luck will always replenish their funds. They're outspoken to a fault, but they also cherish their friendships more than money.

Capricorn dislikes being asked for a loan in the first place, and they'll become seriously irritated if they don't get their money back soon enough. They'll work out a repayment plan and vow to never again loan money to a friend!

Aquarius is vague about money, so they'll let the matter slide -- for a little while, anyway. They adore their friends and rely a great deal on them, so they won't want to rock the boat ... until the wait becomes unbearable.

Pisces hates confrontation, so they'll look the other way and hope their flaky friend will remember to repay them at some point. They'll internally harbor resentment at being tramped upon, but outwardly they'll continue as before.
