Aquarius Jan 28 - Feb 18 Doing a job all by yourself isn't realistic. Call on the help of your colleagues. Acting like you don't need anyone else will alienate you from the group. It's especially important to consider the needs of a business or romantic partner. Letting this person wait on you will be a welcome change of pace. Besides, you're starting to realise that you actually enjoy being pampered. If you're single, you could meet someone at a movie or sporting event.

PISCES FEB 19 - Mar 20

Forcing a friend to live up to an old promise will only torment them. Relax your standards and leave your pal free to have a good time. You may have to do more than your fair share of work, but it will be strangely gratifying. It feels good to have an outlet for your restless energy. Don't hesitate to put a creative spin on an outmoded format. Some people will be puzzled by the results, but most will love them.

Aries Mar 21 - Apr 19

Be realistic about balancing home and work. You simply don't have enough time to do justice to both. Cut back your hours in one of these spheres. Although lots of exciting opportunities exist on the career front, your nearest and dearest need care and attention. Going on a family vacation will give you a welcome change to reconnect with your loved ones. Unless you make time for fun, it will pass you right by. No job is worth that level of sacrifice.

Taurus Apr 20 - May 20

Don't convince you know more about a subject than you really do. It's better to hire a professional than attempt a complicated job yourself. Having these repairs done will make your time at home easy and relaxed. You may even decide to throw a party. A good friend could take you on a short trip. The two of you are complete opposites in many ways, which makes you good travelling companions.

Gemini May 21 - June 20

You may think you've got more money than you actually have. Review your budget carefully before buying something extravagant. If you really want to buy something expensive, create a special fund for it. Paying cash will give you an extra feeling of satisfaction. Urgent messages could come pouring in this week. Check your mobile regularly for messages, or you could miss an important call. A lucrative job will involve unusual duties.

Cancer Jun 21 - Jul 22

Preoccupation with your own needs could make you oblivious to those of a friend, lover, or workmate. Take care that you don't forget someone's birthday, anniversary, or day of departure. Money will be more readily available than it has in the past few weeks. Be sure to splurge on a luxurious purchase or two. You've deprived yourself of beauty and comfort for too long. Someone could ask you to step in for an instructor who had to leave quite suddenly.

Leo Jul 23 - Aug 22

Daydreaming could undermine your job performance. It's important to check and double check your work before submitting it or you could miss some embarrassing mistakes. Your star power will be especially strong, making this a great time to go on job interviews, auditions, and first dates. People will find it very difficult to resist your charm. Keep an exciting love affair under wraps. It's thrilling to lead a double life, at least in the short term!

Virgo Aug 23 - Sep 22

You may not realise what a friend really needs to thrive. If this person is intent on taking a risk, don't stand in their way. Your desire for security isn't as strong as theirs. Trust your instincts with regard to an art project. You can't create by committee. If you're not in a relationship, you could meet someone special at a party or social occasion. Keep your eyes open for an offbeat philanthropist. The two of you will generate sparks the instant you meet.

Libra Sep 23 - Oct 22

Trying to give orders to relatives will be as successful as herding a crowd of cats. It simply can't be done. Let everybody do their own thing for a change. It will save you lots of aggravation. Besides, you have better things to do with your time. Friends may want you to attend a party. You can't afford to let them down. Wear something extra glamorous to this event, as all eyes will be on you. An unorthodox fitness programme will brings impressive results.

Scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21

Following the rules is overrated. Allow yourself a measure of freedom when tackling a big project. You could develop some exciting techniques by just playing around. You're about to assume a more public profile at work. People respond to your warmth and generosity. In return, you expect the team's unwavering loyalty. If someone proposes to take you on an adventure, accept immediately. You could use a little excitement. Besides, danger gives you an amorous aura.

Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21

Putting too much emphasis on material things is getting in the way of a close relationship. You can't put a price on love. Encourage somebody to take a chance, even if it taps your savings or incurs some temporary debt. Going on a long distance trip, publishing a book, or going back to school are among the possibilities. You're too adventurous to cling to security for very long. A strange living arrangement works well for you.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19

Don't overanalyse a relationship. There are some gifts in life you just need to accept with open arms and a thankful heart. If you suspect your partner of having ulterior motives, you'll throw trust out the window. If you're single, you won't be for long. Your sex appeal is red hot. You could meet someone special at a local pub, restaurant, or shop. You're especially drawn to quiet, nurturing types, but you may have to do all the running.
