AQUARIUS JAN 20 - FEB 18. Paying off a debt should be your first priority. If you have to choose between repaying a friend and paring down your credit card bills, choose the former. Whether you realise it or not, your loved one has undergone considerable hardship in providing you with financial assistance. A technical breakdown will force you to turn in a job after its deadline. Notify all the parties concerned at the first sign of trouble.

PISCES FEB 19 - MAR 20

Your generous nature can get you in trouble. Be ready to impose limits on a romantic relationship or close friendship. At first, your loved one will bristle at your stingy attitude. In a while they'll accept that you can no longer go the extra mile on their behalf. Be ready to turn down a job that has lots of strings attached. You can't afford to give up your freedom for an impressive title and corner office.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 19

Work isn't particularly fulfilling right now, but you can't afford to walk away from a steady job. Keep your head held high and stay away from people who seek to break your spirit. Pour your restless energy into creative endeavours that give you pleasure. Working with metal or stone may be particularly fulfilling, as you seem able to shape rough materials into things of beauty. Don't be surprised when you start to become famous for your creative efforts.

TAURUS APR 20 - MAY 20

Friends don't understand your determination to hone your artistic skills. What looks to them like a waste of time feels like a promising path for you. You may even feel forced to hide the fruits of your labour from the world, because the public won't understand your special brand of genius. This can actually be a source of empowerment. Having a secret pleasure gives you an edge on the competition. Once you're ready to show your work to the world, people will be amazed.

GEMINI MAY 21 - JUNE 20

The demands of work are undermining your home life. You need to place more emphasis on the domestic sphere, even at the risk of turning down an important assignment. Fortunately, your friends are poised to help you with emotional and financial support. Some of your pals are involved with unorthodox hobbies, which make them even more attractive to you. Let them lure you into these strange waters, as they're sure to be refreshing.

CANCER JUN 21 - JUL 22

Your high principles don't sit well at work. This is of those times when you have to be practical, rather than idealistic. At times, you will feel as if you're betraying your conscience. Don't worry. The time will come when you can impose a new set of standards. Until then, keep your head down and continue to move forward. Your boss will be extra critical this week. Do you think they think you are undermining their authority?

LEO JUL 23 - AUG 22

Indulging your sensual side will get you in trouble. You simply can't afford to buy a lot of luxuries right now. Lazing in bed all day is no longer an option. If you're going to hold your job, you will have to put in long hours and perform duties that are outside the norm. A youngster will pester you for an expensive gadget. Although it breaks your heart, you will have to refuse their request. As the adult in this relationship, you need to impose limits.

VIRGO AUG 23 - SEP 22

Try not to undercut a loved one's enthusiasm, no matter how unrealistic their plans seem to you. Even if your friend fails, it was worth the risk. Be ready to nurse the resulting aches and pains. A property deal comes to a close, and there are a lot of strings attached for you. Taking on more responsibility is the last thing you want, but it's the only way you can preserve all the hard work you've performed to get to this point.

LIBRA SEP 23 - OCT 22

Your job isn't as secure as you think. Secret rivals are trying to make you look irresponsible. Check and double check projects before handing them in, and keep a copy of everything you do. These days, you can't be too careful about sabotage. A rebellious friend or lover adds excitement to your life. On some level, you want nothing wrong than to run away from your hold life and start afresh with this free spirit. Maybe that's an impulse worth following.

SCORPIO OCT 23 - NOV 21

You're having so much fun with a creative project that you're not willing to hear any criticism, but it would be a big mistake to reject an expert's advice regarding this work. There's always room for improvement, and if you're willing to push your talent just a little further, the results will be fantastic. An unusual job will be offered to you. Although you're not sure if you're up to the task, you'll be glad you accepted the challenge.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 22 - DEC 21

Working overtime can make you sick. Be ready to tell your boss that you're not a machine or you will fail friends and family who are depending on you. An unusual sport can replenish your energy. You're a very physical person who needs to spend lots of time outdoors in order to feel good. A youngster may be eager to accompany you on these outings. Let this be a place the two of you can bond.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 19

Beware of adopting an overly optimistic view of an authority figure. Although they have an impressive reputation, they are human. It's very possible they will fall prey to temptation, leaving the members of the team in a vulnerable position. When this happens, be prepared to leave for greener pastures. It may be necessary to move to a different area as a means to get a job. Be willing to consider living arrangements you wouldn't ordinarily accept.
