AQUARIUS (Jan 21 - Feb 19)

If in a pessimistic mood, watch out that you don't fall into old problems. Forgive yourself and others and rebuild your esteem. Avoid failing to win the cooperation of others with your strong desire for action. Don't push for results. Steer clear of gossip at work. If you don't feel comfortable to drive, listen to your antennae and let someone else do the work. Struggling with a private concern or worry? Don't be so hard on yourself. Do something nice just for you.

PISCES (Feb 20 - March 20)

With Jupiter in your sign this is your time to receive love and joy. You are in authority now to get what you want in love, with love energy. Whether a borrower or a lender, work out a plan of payment or repayment. If a private concern hampers you from having a good time, it's best to just get things out in the open where they can be dealt with. Be wise! With Jupiter and Venus in your sign make plans for you and whomever you choose to spend Valentine's Day with.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20)

Manifestation requires a sensible strategy. Brilliant ideas and smart yet unconventional plans can grow if you don't involve emotional hang-ups. Your social schedule will be busy. Be prepared, because one of those "casual" invitations could turn into an actual relationship quite quickly. When dealing with relatives and business concerns, have patience. Think before you act! Avoid spending excessively or neglecting dear ones. The color blue will be lucky for you. Keep some secrets to yourself.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21)

Open your heart to spiritual healing vibrations. You'll want to be of service and have your work in the world be influenced by altruism and noble goals. Warm companionship with like-minded friends who have similar ideals will help you achieve. Home verses career - which area takes precedence? Take some time to decide. Avoid inviting trouble with officials, try curbing pride and egotism. Use your popularity towards career matters and get involved in activities involving superiors.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21)

Release old wounds and worn-out ideas and you'll see a future bright with love and understanding. Switch your attention to possibilities rather than the problems. Plan a trip, or join a club. By being a good listener, you can repair broken-down communications. If a sibling or neighbor insists that you must meet someone this month, just go for it! Get out and enjoy activities with your peers. Fine arts have some appeal now. Keep opinions to yourself. Generosity attracts benefits.

CANCER (June 22 - July 22)

Secret dealings and accounts need focus. Demands that stem from a personal relationship can be depressing. Others hold the key to open your heart. A party scene might be just the thing, even though temperaments are combative and differences of opinion can pop up. Be extra careful, especially if you are out on the road traveling. Love surprises, powerful conversations when you least expect them, and spontaneous encounters that will mean a lot of you in the long run.

LEO (July 23 - Aug 22)

A turning point will help you release old hurts or distance and grab onto love and intimacy. You're ready to explore a generous offer. The path is rocky but if you work for everyone's benefit, things will improve. Just listen carefully to what is being offered. Independence and originality are pluses. Mars, the most fiery passionate and impulsive plant, has been storming your sign for months now, Leo, and until mid-June will turn your house of personality into a magnetic, dramatic place.

VIRGO (Aug 23 - Sept 23)

Everyday activities become transcendent experiences; even physical healing is possible. Open-hearted, caring souls help you feel good about yourself. Friends, lovers, children and family are waiting for you to reach out to them with warmth and acceptance. Recognize selfish motives for what they are. Avoid permitting yourself to feel neglected. Accepting a subordinate role temporarily is not a bad idea. Your ruler Mercury changes signs and you'll lighten up in the days to come.

LIBRA (Sept 24 - Oct 23)

This time is all about love for you. Whether attached or single, you'll have some wonderful planetary envoys on duty who are prepared to make these days memorable. You will feel sturdy, healthy, and ready to go. Ignore the tendency to hide your emotions or deny them. Follow your creative urges and adopt an innovative twist in a domestic plan. While some may accuse you of being cold, self-confidence has you in full control. Just avoid losing the affection of those you cherish.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 - Nov 22)

You'll want kindness and caring but may feel you have to toughen up. If you can let people in, old wounds may melt. A break-up of old emotional or family patterns helps you release the past. If you feel assertive or pushed around by others, forcing ambitious desires front and center, it has to do with the movement of the planets who set you in. So don't force issues to a conclusion. Don't step on toes or burn bridges behind you. Remember: "Life is beautiful."

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23 - Dec 21)

Events or opportunities push a home-related financial dream one step further toward coming true, so leave no stone unturned in trying to turn it into reality. You could think about redecorating your home. It's a good time to acquire knowledge and experience. Your social life can take off, though you may have to be one who makes the first move. You owe it to yourself to get more fun out of life. Avoid displaying a negative attitude. Some trips to nearby places may take place.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 - Jan 20)

You'll enjoy your neighborhood and sibling ties. But someone will be sneaking around or speaking up harshly. You need to give some money matters extra time. Through your genius and resourcefulness, you can perhaps find a solution to a financial problem. Don't be discouraged by pressures. Jupiter and Pluto will meet up officially, and you may feel as if you've been temporarily endowed with super powers. So the god of the underworld will give you the ability to lure anyone as close as you like, and the god of Mount Olympus will make you able to chat about any subject.
