Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Your best friend, workmate, or lover doesn't approve of your career plans. Lately, you have felt like you've been stagnating in your current job. You long to spread your wings and fly. Whether this involves finding another position, opening your own business, or taking a year off is immaterial. Your desires will strike fear into your friend's heart. Ultimately, you need to decide whether to follow your own star or appease your partner's fears. Trust your instincts; they won't steer you wrong.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Finding a use for your talent will be difficult. The job market is tight, and you may have to take a position that is beneath your skill set. Still, it's better to stay financially afloat than wait around for an ideal situation. If a friend tips you off to a job, follow up on it. You'll acquire some valuable skills along the way. Fortunately, a passionate romance diverts you from the workaday world. Take a break with your beloved.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) A romance is showing signs of wear. You're tired of hearing constant criticisms from your partner. Perhaps finances are tearing you apart. You've always had faith in your ability to make money, but your amour is wary about the future. If the two of you are going to survive this rough path, you'll both have to make compromise. Put yourselves on a strict budget, and allow for a weekly indulgence. Single? Stop dwelling on your loneliness and embrace your freedom.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Your family doesn't approve of an intimate relationship, and it's no wonder. The friend, lover, or colleague in question is something of a bully. In your quest to keep the peace, you have sacrificed your own happiness for their comfort. There is something gravely wrong with this picture. Assert your needs, even if it leads to a fight. You'll discover just how loyal your partner is once you make some of your own demands. Relationships are a two way street.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) A negative outlook is compromising your love life. It's impossible to achieve intimacy when you're always expecting things to go wrong. Lighten up a little bit, at least for the sake of your partner. If you're single, you'll have difficulty finding a partner until you adopt a more optimistic view. In general, you have a pretty sunny outlook toward life. Recently your ideas about romance have soured. Maybe it's time to explore the source of your cynicism.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) A financial shortage is putting pressure on your love life. It's hard to kick back and relax when you're worried about paying the bills. Be gentle with your amour, and ask for some kindness in return. If you have children, it may be impossible to afford the extra luxuries that other families seem to provide. Try not to feel guilty. By giving your kids love, affection, time, and attention, you'll more than make up for any material shortages. Keep your priorities straight.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) The more you resist a relative's plans, the harder they'll work to carry them out. At this point, your best course of action is to maintain a detached silence. Of course, your tormentor will just ramp up their bad behaviour in response. That's because they want to know if you care or not. Ultimately everybody has to take responsibility for their own mistakes. Focus on your own goals and stop meddling in other people's affairs.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Giving in to your worst fears is causing problems for your family. An overly cautious attitude is starting to wear on your family. The next time you are tempted to turn away from adventure, push past your anguish. You'll teach your relatives the benefit of pursuing your dreams, even in the face of slim odds. Life is too short to take the safe route all the time. Even if you fall flat on your face, you'll still have the satisfaction of having tried something spectacular.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Friends are worried that you're making too many changes all at once. They might have a point. In a quest for adventure, you may burn some bridges that should remain intact. Don't be so quick to break off relationships, especially with older, experienced professionals. These people can get you audiences with executives, politicians, and other officials. That may not seem so important now, but it will in the months ahead.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Your job is getting in the way of a personal transformation. If you want to focus on more spiritual pursuits, you need to leave material concerns behind. This may require you to find a job that is more in line with your values. Working on behalf of a charitable organisation will be rewarding. Whether you're helping stray animals, poor people, or disadvantaged children is immaterial. The important thing is to follow where your heart leads you.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) An overbearing teacher or supervisor is wearing on your last nerves. You're tired of being unable to respond to their criticisms. Instead of composing sarcastic responses to these comments, consider whether you can benefit from them. After all, there's always room for improvement. By stepping up your game just a little, you'll win the approval of even your severest detractors. A cheque you were waiting for will finally arrive, allowing you to take some time off.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Mixing business with pleasure is a mistake of epic proportions. Don't feel compelled to give a friend a discount. If you do, then others will line up for similar treatment. You simply can't afford to make such an offer. Someone who is truly in your corner won't put such demands on you, anyway. Be honest and clear about what you can and cannot do for people. A programme of self improvement is paying off. Buy yourself a new outfit as a reward for a job well done.
