Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You long to break free of a demanding job, if only to get a little more free time. Unfortunately, you need the work more than you need a break. Keep your shoulder to the wheel. There will be time to relax later in the year. Use your steady income to pay off a big bill that's been weighing on your shoulders. If you're looking for work, you may have to take a position that is less than ideal. You can't always get what you want in this cash climate.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) A lack of romantic opportunities is making you blue. You're the type who lives for love. When it's not readily available, you start to wilt. Instead of dwelling on your disappointment, find a creative outlet. Graphic design, electric guitar, or writing gaming programs are all activities that may appeal to you. Usually, you opt for hands on arts and crafts. This time around, you could be inspired to take up a technical form of expression. It's time to branch out!

Gemini (May22/Jun21) An old fashioned friend or relative seems determined to quench your spirit. You want to take a risky career course, but they keep talking about financial security. Actually, these warnings are well timed. It's all well and good to pursue your dreams, but it always helps to have a back up plan. By adding to your practical skills and technical qualifications you will put yourself in a prime position to score a big success on the job market

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) All the will in the world can't help you master a complicated skill. It looks as though you'll have to call a professional. Although you hate spending money on work you could ostensibly do yourself, do it anyway. You've got better things to do with your time. Family matters are spiralling out of control. It may be necessary to rescue a vulnerable relative from an oppressive relationship. Be prepared to step in and offer them shelter, especially if they are in danger.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Financial setbacks are cutting into your personal life. It's hard to relax and enjoy yourself when you're constantly worried about paying bills. You need to get comfortable with living in reduced circumstances. You can live without luxuries, but not without affection. A new moneymaking opportunity will arrive, but it requires lots of personal sacrifice. Look at this as a temporary solution to your cash flow problems. You can find a better position once you've paid your bills.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Uncertainty is putting a damper on a close relationship. You're deeply attracted to a free spirit, but can't help but worry over their irresponsible behaviour. At some point, you need to let them follow their impulses or your attentions will get claustrophobic and your union will fall apart. Learn to silence your fears and hope for the best. With a little luck, you'll stop imagining the worst case scenarios and start adopting a more optimistic attitude. Loosening up will only bring good things for you.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Is fear of being alone making you put up with an unhealthy situation? If you're in a stressful job or abusive relationship, you owe it to yourself to break free. Yes, this will involve a period of uncertainty, but that's better than staying where you are. A new female acquaintance will make her way into your life, offering profound wisdom and comfort. Lean on her when your resolve starts to falter. She'll remind you why it was important to make the changes in the first place.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) An older friend may not approve of your plans. Trying to win their approval really gets on your nerves because you have very different styles, especially when it comes to romance. You crave intense, all encompassing relationships that require every ounce of your attention. They prefer to take things slowly and though you run the risk of having your feelings wounded, you'd rather take the risk than play it safe. Be willing to stand by your decisions.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Career responsibilities stop you saying what you really feel. This is really difficult, as you value honesty above all else. Still, you have to remember there are others who rely on your discretion. Lashing out at an ill tempered customer or nasty client could result in people losing their jobs. By maintaining your poise, you'll rise above the situation. Your team will be grateful for your restraint and you'll be able to move on to greener pastures. Just stay patient.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) The old ways are not necessarily best, but your boss refuses can't see it. You could be forced to work with outmoded machinery or antiquated systems. This really bothers you, as you know a quicker, easier way to get things done. Maybe it would be best to find a more challenging position. Staying where you are means your skills will gradually become outdated and less cutting edge so you owe it to yourself to make a move and stay on top of your game.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Your love life has seen better days. Part of the problem is you have distinctly different values than those of your partner. The two of you need to work to find common ground. If you're single, you need to start hanging out places centred around your favourite activities. Join a volunteer effort, athletic team, or political organisation. You're attracted by smart, silent types, but you may have to make the first move as they may be too bashful to do so.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) The pressures of an intimate relationship may be too much to bear. You'd rather spread your wings and fly than stay where you are under a cloud of emotional anxiety. Unfortunately, it looks as though your amour will take the news hard. The best thing you can do is to stay out of their way so he or she will have time to heal. If that means quitting your job or moving, so be it. You'll benefit from the change. Celebrate your freedom!
