Aquarius Jan 28 - Feb 18 A charismatic leader is prompting people to do things that are totally out of character. Don't get caught up in a group or organisation or you could be implicated in things that run contrary to your own views and values. Fortunately, you have enough presence of mind to stand by your principles. A love affair could hit a snag when one of you wants things the other does not. Don't row and wrangle, work toward a compromise. It can be done.

PISCES FEB 19 - Mar 20

A prospective employer may be leading you down the garden path. Take their promises of glittering prospects with a grain of salt. You're better off staying with a regular job than taking a chance on a position that may not even exist. A business associate or romantic partner may think you're a fool for not jumping at this opportunity, but they'll admit you were right in the end. Women executives can be especially charming and persuasive at this time.

Aries Mar 21 - Apr 19

You need to tackle tedious jobs that are beneath your skill set so you won't have a chance to make use of any expert knowledge and know how you have at your fingertips. Resist the urge to complain, or people will think you're getting too big for your boots. For the time being you have to be an effective team player for people at home and at work are relying on you to deal with a whole heap of regular day in, day out issues.

Taurus Apr 20 - May 20

Money from an investment, refund, or dividend may be late. You need a Plan B for covering bills or you might find yourself running into debt. If this is the case, you need to rein in your spending until you find another source of income. The more places you can make money, the greater your financial security. A childish argument could erupt between you and a loved one. Don't be bullied into anything you absolutely detest.

Gemini May 21 - June 20

It may be hard to see eye to eye with a close friend, lover, or colleague. The two of you have very different attitudes about money. Yours is to spend and enjoy it, while your partner wants to save and invest it. Delay any buying decisions until next week, when you'll both be thinking more rationally. A home repair project is very disruptive. You're starting to realise just how important it is to have a cosy haven from the cold, cruel world.

Cancer Jun 21 - Jul 22

You may not be feeling great, so take it easy. Tackling your regular workload will only get you down. Stop worrying that work and family will go to ruin without you. Somehow people will find a way to soldier on without you. An angry exchange with a bureaucrat could delay getting your hands on an important document, license or certificate. Keep cool and stay smiling no matter how frustrating officialdom can be.

Leo Jul 23 - Aug 22

A creative block is driving you to distraction. Normally, you're brimming with good ideas but now it will take all your willpower to write a single paragraph or come up with a simple colour scheme. Persistence will pay off. Although this week won't be productive, next week will. Financial difficulties could be putting a strain on a close relationship. You've got to pull together, not work against each other where cash is concerned.

Virgo Aug 23 - Sep 22

Trying to be kind to a relative in need is a waste of time. This person seems hell bent on pushing people away. Leave them to get on with it because an unreliable colleague is piling even more work on your plate. It may be best to talk to the boss rather than tackling your troublesome workmate directly or a feud could break out making it even harder to do a good job. A friend's desire for independence may force you to handle a tedious job all by yourself.

Libra Sep 23 - Oct 22

Relations with neighbours or siblings could be a bit strained. These people seem to have no consideration for others. It will be better to tune them out than force a confrontation. You may be getting to resent a colleague who keeps calling in sick. Try to be more compassionate. There may come a time when you will need to rest and recuperate. Follow your conscience over a financial dilemma and err on the side of caution.

Scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21

You may not have enough money to cover your expenses so it looks as though you'll have to economise. Fortunately, you're very resourceful and know how to get maximum value for minimum cash. An impractical relative will cause your temper to flare. It's pointless trying to change them; old habits die hard. You need to find an alternative solution to this problem. Give this job to someone who may know the best buttons to push and levers to pull.

Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21

Doing as you want isn't possible this week. You've got to defer to your boss and family. These sorts of responsibilities drive you crazy; you'd far rather be free. Consider, though, all you would lose without these obligations. You're too sociable to do without people. Imprecise instructions could cause you to make a mistake. Be sure to clear up any confusion before tackling a home repair project. If all else fails, you can always hire a professional.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19

Don't fool yourself over a job. You'll need specialised training to land this position. It may be best to seek a post that is more in keeping with your experience. If you do decide to expand your skill set, it may take a couple of years before you get yourself properly qualified. A friendship could fall by the wayside when someone's selfish behaviour forces you to handle a challenging task by yourself. You're tired of being old reliable.
