Aquarius Jan 28 - Feb 18 You need to have a more realistic attitude about work. At some point, you'll have to sacrifice your values in order to earn a living. If that means pretending to agree with a policy you detest, so be it. You will also have to wait on people who are rude. Resist the urge to tell such people what you really think of their antics or you will be out of a job. Friendship could turn to romance with very little encouragement.

PISCES FEB 19 - Mar 20

You're too easily defeated when it comes to pursuing your dreams. If you encounter an obstacle, hang on and pray for help. It could come quite unexpectedly. Teaming up with a male colleague will help you cut through work like a hot knife through butter. You might not like his pushy behaviour, but you have to admit he's a fast worker. An original outlook could attract the attention of a cultured, sophisticated admirer. The two of you go together like strawberries and cream.

Aries Mar 21 - Apr 19

A talented teacher could inspire you to further your education. Don't be afraid to sign up for an advanced class in your favourite subject. Let a loved one relieve you of responsibilities while you pursue a cherished dream. Although you hate being beholden to anyone, there's nothing wrong with accepting favours from your nearest and dearest. Sex and friendship don't mix right now. Keep a platonic relationship the way it is, or you'll soon regret it.

Taurus Apr 20 - May 20

Charm won't get you very far with an exacting boss. If you want to get into their good books, you need to work hard and stay disciplined. A tough work assignment could be entrusted to you. By bringing this project in under budget, you'll put yourself in line for a promotion. A friend may take you along on an exotic vacation. The two of you will have a terrific time, if you keep complaints to a minimum. Look at this trip as a grant adventure.

Gemini May 21 - June 20

You may lack the training to get the kind of job you want. Unfortunately, it may not be possible to get the type of qualifications you need right now. Your best bet is to capitalise on your creative talent. Give music or writing lessons to students who are eager to improve their skills. You could find some great clients through a business or romantic partner. Someone dear to your heart could get a raise or well paid job. Let them share their spoils with you.

Cancer Jun 21 - Jul 22

An intimate relationship is showing signs of strain. You feel as if you're doing all the giving, while your partner never returns the favour. It's time to adjust the balance of power. Your well being is undergoing a radical improvement, mostly because your home life is so satisfying. It's easy to take care of yourself when you feel loved and appreciated. If you live by yourself think about buying some home exercise equipment. Consider this an investment in your personal happiness.

Leo Jul 23 - Aug 22

You may not get a lot of sympathy from family. Relatives could accuse you of being your own worst enemy, and maybe they're right. Instead of asking them for help, try getting yourself out of trouble. Cutting back on luxuries is essential. You'll probably have to put in lots of overtime, too. Set a deadline by which to pay off your debts, and then put a percentage of your earnings into savings on a regular basis. It sounds boring, but your respectability will soar.

Virgo Aug 23 - Sep 22

Don't take your job for granted. You may not be able to get off work early or take the vacation time you wanted. Instead of getting angry and quitting in a huff, accept the verdict and do your best. These days, finding steady work is no small task. If you are unemployed, you might want to launch a home based business. Pet sitting or child care may not bring in lots of money, but may help cover your bills.

Libra Sep 23 - Oct 22

The party is over, and the sooner you realise it, the better off you will be. Scale back on the fun and games so you can focus on work. If that means cancelling a date, so be it. Your attitude will win the confidence of customers who want to be treated with courtesy and respect. A last minute job could require you to stay up all night. Although you hate to feel rushed, you can't afford to pass up a good job like this.

Scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21

You may be giving people too much credit for being honest. Take some basic security precautions in order to protect your interests. Keep your personal information under lock and key to avoid identity theft, and install security systems to protect your home and car. If you're looking to earn some extra money, seek a job at a government agency, university or hospital. The work will be difficult, but it will be lucrative and it will be a big boost for your self esteem.

Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21

Mean what you say and say what you mean or people will accuse you of being a hypocrite. Youngsters are especially vulnerable to betrayal. If you go back on a promise, it will be impossible to regain their trust. Your reputation could grow by leaps and bounds, thanks to some influential friends. Rely on your loved ones to get you everything from job interviews to first dates. At this point, whom you know is more important than what you are.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19

Don't overestimate your power to make money. Although you haven't had much trouble earning cash, you need to put some of it away for a rainy day. Be ready to refuse a friend who asks for a loan or your relationship could be torn apart. Working behind the scenes will win your boss's approval. Lately, your colleagues have been shunning the thankless jobs. By doing these assignments without complaint, you could put yourself in line for a promotion.
