Your Stars for the week

Aquarius Jan 28 - Feb 18 You're ready to fight for your rights. Someone who has repeatedly tried to undermine you is in for a big surprise. A loud confrontation will expose them for the bully they really are. A friend may betray you this week. Perhaps they're uncomfortable with what you're doing, your motives or long term intentions. In the long run, you're better off without them. Still, it stings to know you were wrong to put your faith in this person.

PISCES FEB 19 - Mar 20

You need to speak truth to power, especially when it is being misused. Confronting a boss or expert will be a scary prospect, but an exhilarating one too. It's hard to argue with someone with your moral authority. You're embarking on an exciting new period, and need an updated image. Friends may be startled by this change. They're afraid you'll abandon them for bigger and better opportunities. Little do they know how loyal you are!

Aries Mar 21 - Apr 19

This week finds you dividing time between home and work. If you've been thinking of moving, start looking now. You could find a lovely place by the water, or at the very least within walking distance of a beautiful park. Don't expect your boss to be happy about your request for time off to attend family responsibilities. Hold your ground, even at the risk of talking your way out of a promotion. Bigger and better chances will come.

Taurus Apr 20 - May 20

It's time to spread the word about your accomplishments, even though you're a pretty humble person. If you don't show off your talents, you could be passed over for the perfect job. Get the help of a professional in putting together a CV and portfolio. Cultivating your interviewing skills is also a good idea. You've been blessed with incredible talent, but it's not enough to be the best in your field. You've also got to sell yourself to the public.

Gemini May 21 - June 20

The next two months bring a rare opportunity to increase your income. Demand a raise, apply for a better paid post, or start your own business. You cut through obstacles like a hot knife through butter. Don't let a powerful sexual attraction distract you from your goals. You need to focus on your dreams like a laser. A fresh career opportunity is coming your way. This may mean moving overseas. Don't worry, romance will find you, no matter where you go.

Cancer Jun 21 - Jul 22

Your need to succeed drives everything you do this week. Unfortunately, this quest could drive a wedge between you and a loved one. Don't be so quick to cancel plans to make room for a business meeting. By giving your friend the attention and respect they deserve, they'll give you their unswerving support. The chance to take a glamorous vacation could be on the horizon. Start researching various travel deals. You could get a lot for your money.

Leo Jul 23 - Aug 22

Working independently boosts your self esteem. You're starting to realise just how resourceful you really are. It may be best to keep your opinions to yourself between now and early May or you could unintentionally offend someone you need to befriend. A power struggle at work could derail your progress if you're not careful so don't waste time or energy on a contentious colleague. This person just isn't worth the effort. Get attention for a nagging ache that's been causing you grief.

Virgo Aug 23 - Sep 22

Working with a group will be much more rewarding than going solo. Granted, you're among the most capable members of the team. That doesn't mean you can't benefit from the experience, though. You may be nominated the group's unofficial leader. This will be a pleasant change of pace. You get a lot of satisfaction out of showing the ropes to beginners. An exciting romance could be on the horizon. Follow your romantic instincts. They won't steer you wrong.

Libra Sep 23 - Oct 22

It may be necessary to put in extra hours at work over the next two months. You hate to burn the candle at both ends, but there's no other way around this situation. A normally understanding loved one won't like it either. Look it at this way: it's nice to be missed. You'll have plenty of opportunities to be together once this busy period ends. In fact, you should probably schedule a long vacation with for June.

Scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21

You know what you want and you're going to go for it big time. Whether it's a job, lover, or new place to live, chances are you will succeed through sheer tenacity. Developing a creative project is another possibility. You're bound to hit some snags along the way, but the final result will be breathtaking. Don't let people put you off. Your loved ones are worried you will fall on your face, but they don't know how determined you can be.

Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21

A chance to air family issues comes your way. It feels wonderful to get these feelings off your chest. You've never been the type to keep a polite silence for the sake of harmony. The next two months will be a great time to be totally up front and honest, and even confront some people who hurt you in the past. Be prepared for things to get ugly. Fortunately, you know it's better to be straightforward than maintain a pleasant façade.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19

Your words hold extra gravitas and importance over the next eight weeks. Standing up for others and empowering people to make their own decisions is the best use of your time. You're tired of seeing the underdog being bullied by people who have more power and influence and you won't be intimidated by anybody. Your passion will turn the tide in your favour. Sometimes raw emotion is more effective and convincing than a polished, polite presentation.
