Aquarius Jan 28 - Feb 18 You have a choice between fulfilling selfish desires and working for a charitable cause. Choose the latter, even if it pains you do to so. Your initial reluctance will vanish once you see the results of your labour. You may not realise it, but you need work that brings meaning to your life or you could get cynical. A visionary like you needs to keep your eyes trained on some far away ideal. It's time to make a decision regarding a close relationship.

PISCES FEB 19 - Mar 20

A relative could be making trouble for you at work. It's probably best to refuse this person's calls and emails, or your progress will be undermined. Friendship could turn to romance with very little encouragement. You're starting to look at an old friend with a tender eye. You enjoy the order and stability this person brings your life, while they appreciate the whimsy you add to theirs. A glamorous work assignment is yours for the asking. Don't hesitate to put yourself forward.

Aries Mar 21 - Apr 19

You won't impress an expert with your rudimentary knowledge of their subject. It's better to listen and learn while you're in this person's presence. Although it's difficult for you to take a back seat to anyone, it's necessary in this circumstance. Don't worry; you'll get plenty of publicity for a job well done later in the week. An authority figure will be eternally grateful when you roll up your sleeves to do some grunt work. Take more time for chilling out if your energy starts flagging.

Taurus Apr 20 - May 20

Lending money to a friend could lead to disaster. You don't want a petty thing like finance get in the way of a good relationship. A chance to broaden your horizons could put you in the path of romance. Alternately, you could have a chance to hone your artistic skills. If you're travelling on behalf of a child, you can be sure this trip will result in a stronger bond. Moving house may be an option. Be realistic about how much it will cost to move.

Gemini May 21 - June 20

Resist the urge to push a loved one into going against their conscience or your relationship will be permanently strained. You have to accept that this person may act against your interests. This week presents a golden opportunity to own a beautiful home. You could find a spacious, sunny place in a neighbourhood you've always wanted to live. Don't worry about finding the money to finance this purchase. You can get a good loan from the bank.

Cancer Jun 21 - Jul 22

You won't be able to keep cool any longer with a colleague who continually takes advantage of you, getting you to do more than your fair share of the work and then taking credit for it. You've got to put an end to this unbearable situation. If you're looking for love, you could find it at a bookstore, library, or stationery store. Keep your eye open for a well educated executive. This person has lots to teach you, and vice-versa.

Leo Jul 23 - Aug 22

Your insistence on having a good time could eat away at a close friendship. Lately, you haven't been there for a woman you've always admired and respected. It's not as though you're indifferent to her needs. It's just that you're having such a good time with a romance, child, or creative pursuit. Turn your back on selfish desires, even if it wrenches your heart to do so. Stick to your principles with regard to work. You'll be given a plum position as reward.

Virgo Aug 23 - Sep 22

The temptation to lay the law down to a relative may be great. You're tired of this person's indifference. Unfortunately, forcing them to make a decision will reflect badly on you. You wouldn't want to be accused of trying to manipulate this family member. Back off and let your loved one make up their own mind. Fortunately, a romance will distract you from this frustrating situation. Don't be surprised if you fall in love with an architect, banker, or business person.

Libra Sep 23 - Oct 22

Imposing your political or religious beliefs on a close friend is a mistake. You need to agree to disagree. It's not your job to convert everyone to your point of view. Besides, if everybody shared your ideals, it would be a very boring world. Let your differences enhance your friendship, rather than rob it of joy. Spending time at home alone can bring the contentment you seek. When in doubt, turn inward. Never fear; your relatives will honour your request for privacy.

Scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21

Lending money to a man who is down on his luck won't solve his problems. This person needs professional help you can't provide. Exercise tough love, no matter how much it pains you. An influential friend could finance a short trip or class. You'll greatly benefit from this intellectual stimulation. A painful career matter could finally come to an end, giving you more time for domestic pursuits. You'll soon see that this disappointment is a blessing in disguise.

Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21

Stop giving way to a bossy business or romantic partner or you'll start to resent them. You've always cherished your freedom. Frequently, this prompts you to look for ways to escape from close relationships. Instead of turning tail, face this problem head on. An exciting moneymaking opportunity will come your way. It will involve a great deal of responsibility, but the personal sacrifice will be worth it. Your powers of persuasion make you an effective and popular leader.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19

Beware of pushing yourself too hard, especially as far as exercise is concerned. Eating rich food and drinking intoxicating beverages could also get you in trouble. Treat your body like a temple, at least for this week. Going on a business trip or adding to your skills and qualifications will open new doors for you. If you're given an opportunity to do something new, grab it with both hands. A sizable bill needs to be repaid. You'll have to make some temporary sacrifices to cover it.
