AQUARIUS JAN 20 - FEB 18. You need to learn tact and diplomacy. Someone who doesn't share your love of truth is having a hard time facing reality. Resist the urge to shove the unpleasant facts in their face or you'll look like a terrible tyrant. Paying off a debt becomes possible now that your income is more stable. Put yourself on a regular payment plan that is aimed at achieving financial freedom by a certain date. Setting goals keeps you focused.

PISCES FEB 19 - MAR 20

A dispute with your employer or a fellow worker is taking a toll on your health. You need to adopt a spiritual practice as a means to keep a balanced perspective. Prayer, meditation, or communing with nature reminds you there is more to life than mundane reality. Your best friend or lover is poised to help you through the rough patches. Don't hesitate to lean on them when you feel as if you can't handle the pressure anymore.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 19

You're vulnerable to childish temper tantrums this week. It's hard to cope with the idea that your dreams are hopelessly out of reach. Let yourself be angry. Work off your anger at the gym. Throw some cheap crockery on the ground. Write a spiteful letter and then burn it. You have every right to be upset. Once you've voiced your frustrations, pour your energy into work. Take on a challenging assignment that requires tremendous focus and skill.

TAURUS APR 20 - MAY 20

An authority figure's irresponsible and frustrating behaviour gets under your skin. It will take every ounce of strength to keep your cool in their presence. Helping a youngster with their schoolwork can be a good diversionary tactic. Your young friend may be struggling with a fundamental skill like reading or simple mathematics. Overseeing their progress will draw you closer together. Kids feel loved when adults devote time to them.

GEMINI MAY 21 - JUNE 20

Sarcasm will get you in trouble this week. For you, it's a defence mechanism against dealing with the harsh realities of life. For others, it's a slap in the face. The next time a colleague voices their fears, be silent and receptive. Refrain from making some snappy remark or the two of you will start sniping at each other instead of tackling the real source of the problem. Tackling a home improvement project will be a good channel for your frustrations.

CANCER JUN 21 - JUL 22

Don't let your desire for wealth get in the way of being happy for a man who has just gotten a raise. Put your jealousy aside for the sake of friendship. When you let go of resentment, you open your heart to abundance. Pretty soon, the opportunities that passed you by will fall right in your lap. A business trip is looming ahead. By making a success of this venture, you'll put yourself in line for a raise or promotion.

LEO JUL 23 - AUG 22

Be careful of jumping to conclusions this week, or you'll do serious damage to an intimate relationship. Giving a friend or lover the benefit of the doubt will go a long way to repairing the hurt that has torn you apart. The two of you are terribly stubborn, and have difficulty admitting when you've done something wrong. By letting go of your pride, you'll get something far more precious in return. You'll have to work overtime to keep up with your work responsibilities.

VIRGO AUG 23 - SEP 22

Someone is harbouring angry feelings toward you, even if you've done nothing to deserve such resentment. Instead of trying to work yourself back into your enemy's good graces, concentrate on a project that is close to your heart. Acquiring specialised skills puts you in line for a better paid post. It's time to realise your full potential. Resting on your laurels is fine for a while, but is ultimately unsatisfying. Set your sights on the stars.

LIBRA SEP 23 - OCT 22

You're tired of the status quo and long to rage against the machine. Unfortunately, rebellious behaviour will make some enemies of people who should be friends. Instead of lashing out against the existing order, find an outlet for your anger. Working with your hands can be very therapeutic. Pottery, gardening, and baking are all activities you might try. There's something appealing about rolling up your sleeves and getting your hands dirty now.

SCORPIO OCT 23 - NOV 21

Making a power play will backfire spectacularly. You can't be seen as taking someone's job away from them. If you're going to reach the top, you need to do so by honest, straightforward means. If it doesn't look as if such a position will become available any time soon, think about launching your own business. An influential friend could give you the start up capital for such a venture. Don't discount the idea until you've given it serious thought.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 22 - DEC 21

Beware of foisting your beliefs on an unsuspecting friend. Nobody likes to be preached to. If you're really worried about someone's soul, you'll teach by example. Living up to an exalted moral code will prompt your friend to ask questions about your philosophy. Until that day occurs, remain patient. Stay true to your path and ask for help when your resolve wavers. Don't forget that you're just as vulnerable to temptation as the next person.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 19

Pent up desires will get you into trouble if you're not careful. If you're not in a relationship, you need to find an outlet for all of this yearning. Head for the gym, launch a construction project, or plan an elaborate party. The more ambitious the undertaking, the faster your frustrations will ease. You could be offered a job at somewhere cultural or educational. Push your fears aside and accept the position and rise to this new professional challenge.
