TIP FOR THE WEEK: Take a step back and review your options. This is the week for contemplation rather than for action.
AQUARIUS (AIR)JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 18You have a great deal on your mind right now and continue to weigh your options. Your thinking is affected by past experiences, and this is the week for listing what is available and what isn’t; what is do-able and what needs revision; and, what is impossible and needs to be abandoned. In the end all will work out, so take your time. HINT: Pay attention to your diary as you will find it difficult to juggle all your social and professional commitments at this time.
PISCES (WATER)FEBRUARY 19-MARCH 20The time has come for you to begin taking better care of yourself—join a gym, take up swimming, learn yoga and find a diet that really works. For too long you have put your own needs on the back burner. Financially, although your situation still needs watching carefully, it is much better than it was even six months ago. Soon you will have enough free time to mingle more and socialize like you used to. HINT: New people and new friends will do much to raise your mood.
ARIES (FIRE)
MARCH 21-APRIL 19
Things are finally looking up and you are beginning to feel more in control of your life. There are still a few odd ends which need taking care of, but for the most you are on the right track. People from your past continue to try and influence your future. It will be up to you to establish workable borders. Pay more attention to your partner and/or mate. This person has stood steadfastly by your side and could use a kind word and a helping hand right now. HINT: Wednesday and Thursday are perfect days for socializing.
 
TAURUS (EARTH)
APRIL 20-MAY 20
Some of the fears and shadows which have hindered you from a good night’s sleep are beginning to fade and you can finally see that you really didn’t have anything to worry about. Slowly all the pieces are falling into place and even though you may not have the final picture you had planned, you still have a worthy chart in front of you. Trust your instincts and you won’t err. HINT: You may not have as much time as you planned to finish an important project, to check your schedule and make the necessary adjustments.
 
GEMINI (AIR)
MAY 21-JUNE 21
This is a good week for working together with your partner and/or mate. Together you can accomplish far more than either of you on your own. You need to take a breather and would love to drop everything and simply fly away to an exotic island. Unfortunately, you have neither the time nor money right now. You do, however, have wonderful friends who are always ready to drop everything and party. Invite some special people over for an impromptu meal. HINT: You love solving mysteries and this week you will be amazed at what you discover.
 
CANCER (WATER)
JUNE 22-JULY 22
Everything seems to be slowing down and this is the week for getting things done. You have postponed working on a project for far too long. The truth is, that once you begin to work, you are carried away by the enjoyment and creativity of the assignment. You gravitate toward clever, intelligent, witty people and need to get away from your desk a little more in order to expand your horizons and refresh your soul. HINT: Time spent with family is always a joy.
 
LEO (FIRE)
JULY 23-AUGUST 22
This is a good week for taking care of business; for visiting the dentist and making that doctor’s appointment. All is well, but every once in awhile you tend to become overly concerned about your health and that of the people you love, so ask your question, get your answer and move on. This is a perfect time for networking and brainstorming with some people you trust and respect. HINT: Be patient with your partner and/or mate. This person needs to work at their own pace and won’t appreciate being rushed.
 
VIRGO (EARTH)
AUGUST 23-SEPTEMBER 22
This is the time for paying close attention to money and property matters. You have enough time to make any necessary adjustments and changes in your financial situation. Learn from past mistakes and begin amassing questions to ask the experts. You will enjoy entertaining at home this week and even a simple meal will turn into a party. HINT: This is not the time for gambling or taking unnecessary chances, no matter how much you would like to play a game or two.
 
LIBRA---AIR
SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 23
This is a good time for reflection and deep thought. You can rely on your successes as well as your mistakes from the past. Things are moving in the right direction and now is the perfect time for you to make your move. Your relationship with a sibling continues to grow and the more you are together the better it is for both of you. HINT: For those of you considering beginning a serious course of study, double check if you really need such a rigid regime.
 
SCORPIO (WATER)
OCTOBER 24-NOVEMBER 21
Stuck between the need to save money and the desire to purchase new and beautiful things, you are going to have to quickly find some middle ground. The truth is you can afford it…and you don’t need it. So, ultimately, the decision will be yours. During the middle portion of this week you may be called upon to speak in front of a group of your peers. Make certain you have done your homework. HINT: Time spent with a fire sign will be a lot more pleasant than it has been for months.
 
SAGITTARIUS (FIRE)
NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21
Things are finally looking up and this is the time for you to make your move. Professionally, you know you are well liked and respected and people are easily attracted by your honesty and sense of fair play. When speaking with an earth sign, be patient and pay attention. HINT: Be careful when driving near home on Wednesday and Thursday and wherever possible give yourself enough time to get where you have to go without rushing.
 
CAPRICORN (EARTH )
DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19
You know you are right…and so do the people you work with. That does not, however make things easier. Actually, some days it makes it more difficult. But, you will never lower your standards. Your family and close friends enjoy spending time with you as you are happier and in a much better place than you were. Take some time off during the latter portion of this week to catch up on some much needed rest. HINT: This is a great week for making new connections, meeting new people, and establishing contacts with people who can help you professionally.
