Your Stars for the week

Aquarius Jan 28 - Feb 18. It's better to trust your intuition than consult with friends. In the past they have given you good advice. Now that you've benefited from their wisdom, it's time to go off on your own. This will be a little scary at first, but it will also prove rewarding. Keep your thoughts to yourself between now and mid-February, as it's easy for people to twist your words. A romance that fell by the wayside could come roaring back to life again in February.

PISCES FEB 19 - Mar 20

Your personal goals and objectives are very different from what they were a few months ago. Career goals are less important than close relationships. Getting closer to your nearest and dearest gives you a profound sense of contentment. It could also prompt you to get involved with a house of worship. Being surrounded by people who share your faith gives you great comfort. Move forward with a stalled domestic project.

Aries Mar 21 - Apr 19

An increased need to succeed could prompt you to work harder and develop your leadership skills. You're determined to transform your relationship with authority figures. Joining their midst is among the possibilities. Running for political office is another option. Certain friendships will undergo changes between now and mid-February. Wasting time on people who don't have your best interests at heart is becoming a bit of a bore.

Taurus Apr 20 - May 20

Your religious, political, or philosophical beliefs are about to undergo a serious overhaul. You're starting to question the ideals with which you were raised. This doesn't necessarily mean you will abandon them altogether. It just means that you'll be more apt to question certain assumptions. Talks with your boss could prove unproductive. The two of you will be working at cross purposes over the next three weeks. Money will come in much faster than it has in the recent past.

Gemini May 21 - June 20

A new interest in psychology, reincarnation, or the occult could take you down some interesting paths over the next few years. Digging beneath the surface will become something of an obsession for you. Finding sexual fulfilment will become another top priority. You're starting to realise you can't always live in your head. A political or religious figure could prompt you to revise your ideas about a philosophical matter and inspire you to challenge the status quo.

Cancer Jun 21 - Jul 22

Power struggles can emerge in close relationships. You're no longer willing to take a back seat to a dominant person. Similarly, people who feel they have been overshadowed by you will challenge your authority. Although it will be difficult to change the dynamics of these partnerships, this shift will prove rewarding. It's all a matter of putting your assumptions aside for the sake of growth. Don't make any big decisions regarding taxes, inheritances, or retirement funds for the next three weeks.

Leo Jul 23 - Aug 22

Daily life is about to undergo a radical transformation. Working irregular hours, taking up a vigorous exercise routine, or changing your diet are among the possibilities. Although this shift will force you to relinquish mainstream society, it will ultimately benefit you. It may be time to reconsider certain arrangements that exist between you and a partner. You've been doing the lion's share of the work lately. Move to adjust the balance or your relationship could falter and fail.

Virgo Aug 23 - Sep 22

An overwhelming desire for romance and creativity could prompt you to make some startling changes. You could be considering changing jobs or moving house, alternatively thoughts of getting hitched and settling down or starting a family could be on your agenda. There's no need to rush into anything; you should lay your plans with care and carefully consider all the ins and outs of what you have in mind especially as they are bound to affect those nearest to you.

Libra Sep 23 - Oct 22

It's time to break away from a restrictive emotional bond. Whether this means moving into your own home or breaking away from an oppressive relative is immaterial. The important thing is to strike out alone. You won't have to relinquish relationships altogether. You just need to claim a healthy measure of independence. A lost love could make its way back into your life. Before you revert back to your old ways, sit and talk a while. You'll soon see very little has changed.

Scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21

You could be trusted with secret information over the next few days. It's important to stay silent about these matters. Fortunately, you know when to keep your mouth shut. Don't make any decisions regarding houses or moving for the next three weeks, unless you plan to renew an existing lease. Clauses and conditions may arise that work against your interests. Be assertive in a romantic relationship. You won't be sorry.

Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21

You'll need to be more resourceful regarding money. Cash won't come in as easily as it has during the past few years. That's fine; you're not wasteful by nature. Still, this would be a good time to explore ways to adopt more environmentally friendly ways. Starting a retirement or college fund is also advised. Take everything a friend tells you with a grain of salt between now and late February. This person won't be thinking straight during this confusing period.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19

Your self image will undergo a radical change over the next few years. In the past, you've always written yourself off as an ultra practical person. Now you're starting to see that you possess many creative talents. Following an impulse to paint, write, or play music will prove liberating. It may be necessary to alter your budget a bit. Cutting back on expensive luxuries will enable you to work less and play more. This is a good week to begin a brisk exercise regimen.
