Aquarius Jan 28 - Feb 18 It may be impossible to break out of a boring rut. Instead of cursing your bad fortune, try focusing on the positive aspects of your situation. At least there is an element of security involved here. Although you may have to operate by yourself, that's better than answering to a capricious supervisor. Taking up a fun hobby after hours is a good way to relieve your boredom. You may take an interest in dancing, playing music or acting. Look around for a class.

PISCES FEB 19 - Mar 20

You may feel alienated from your loved ones. They all seem to think you don't have a firm grip on reality. Maybe that's true; you've always been something of a dreamer, but you needn't be ashamed of your fanciful ways, so long as they are not creating trouble for others. If, on the other hand, you are failing to fulfil your adult responsibilities, you need to make a change. Supporting yourself will give you renewed confidence. Find a way to boost your income.

Aries Mar 21 - Apr 19

A close relationship is showing signs of strain, mainly because of work. One or both of you is spending too much time at the office. Furthermore, the strains of professional life are beginning to seep into your domestic sphere. The two of you need to formulate a strategy to have more fun together. If you're single, it may be because you're too obsessed with your job. If you're going to be successful, you need to strike a balance between your private and public lives.

Taurus Apr 20 - May 20

Work can be very dispiriting, thanks to an oppressive supervisor who seems to think the entire work force is incapable of handling their responsibilities. Consequently, everybody is being forced to submit each task for approval. For a capable person like you, this is really insulting. Fortunately, some changes are occurring on the home front. It may be possible to launch a home based business with the help of a male relative. Sure, it's a risky prospect, but you're long overdue for a gamble!

Gemini May 21 - June 20

You can't ignore your unhappiness any longer. Although your desire to serve others has been admirable, it has been of great cost to you. You're too vivacious to resign yourself to a life of misery. Stop weighing down your schedule with non-stop work and start making time for fun. Whether this means cutting back your hours, hiring a babysitter or moving to a smaller home is immaterial. The important thing is to forge a happier, healthier lifestyle. This requires an element of selfishness.

Cancer Jun 21 - Jul 22

Sadness over your past may inhibit you from advancing your career. Contrary to what certain family members might think, you're an extremely talented person. They may have discouraged you from taking a certain path out of fear for your financial or physical safety. Now you're more mature, you don't need their approval. Yes, it may be necessary to slightly alter your goals because so much time has passed, but you shouldn't abandon this dream altogether. Listen to your heart.

Leo Jul 23 - Aug 22

It's hard to hear harsh criticism, but if you don't acknowledge the truth of what's being said, you'll never improve. Swallow your pride and take your critic's advice. Whether this means getting more training or working as an apprentice to an expert is immaterial. You've got learn how to walk before you can run. If a doctor says you need to amend your diet, do so. You can't afford to gamble with your health. These measures will seem extreme at first, but you'll get used to them.

Virgo Aug 23 - Sep 22

Being too conservative with finances is depriving yourself of pleasure. Stop acting as if it is a sin to enjoy yourself. Splurging on a new outfit, gadget or piece of jewellery may seem frivolous at first, but eventually, you'll realise how starved you've been for luxury. You work too hard to be always cutting back and doing without all the time. Yes, it's admirable how far you are able to stretch your resources, but sometimes you need to throw caution to the wind. This is one of those times!

Libra Sep 23 - Oct 22

Adopting a bossy attitude won't go down too well at home. Your family life is undergoing some radical changes, and the members of your clan deserve a say in what happens. This means you'll have to put some of your plans on hold for the sake of the group. Beware of taking a condescending tone, especially with younger members of your household or you'll make enemies of people who should be your friends. Try not to give a relative more responsibilities than they can handle.

Scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21

You're doubtful if someone can change. Making your feelings known will only doom them to failure. Keep your feelings to yourself. That way, if they succeed, you won't be embarrassed. They have much more potential than you realise. Part of the problem is that they find you intimidating. By backing off and giving them space, you'll allow this neighbour, friend or colleague to speak out without feeling self conscious. Their contribution will ultimately benefit you, especially in the material realm.

Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21

Some people don't think you have got what it takes to manage your money responsibly. This is your chance to prove them wrong. Although you've never cared much about wealth in the past, that doesn't mean you are doomed to live on a shoestring budget. By coming up with a clever marketing strategy, you can turn a significant profit. Instead of spending your money as fast as it comes in, save it for a down payment on a car or home or put it away for a rainy day.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19

Is someone in a position of power intimidated by your talent and standing in your way of advancement? It's possible you will have to find another situation in order to fulfil your potential. Although you hate leaving your present job, you have to admit you've hit a glass ceiling. Look for a job that pays on a commission basis. You'll make far more money this way than earning a flat salary. It may be time to expand your bedroom repertoire, especially if your amour seems bored.
