Demands at home are as unrelenting as demands at work, and it won't be letting up any time soon. You tried appealing to a boss to let you leave early while asking a loved one to be more understanding, but neither side will budge. If only there were two of you! Well, you're a Virgo, not Gemini, which means you'll have to work with what you have. Perhaps the problem lies with you being too accommodating? Both sides need you, which means you should be dictating terms rather than asking permission. Change your approach, and they'll be coordinating their schedules with you rather than vice-versa.
