AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your friends and associates seem extra friendly today as you discuss subjects of common interest. However, you could see their overtures as shallow and a waste of your precious time. You have more pressing things on your agenda than casually chatting about trivial matters.

Author Margaret Wheatley wrote, Be brave enough to start a conversation that matters. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar 20): You are cognizant of the connection between your daily work routine and a steady income. Although it should seem obvious, you begin to consider what changes you can make in your everyday life that could ultimately lead to more cash in your pocket.

Whatever you do now, dont count your chickens before they hatch.
