AQUARIUS Jan 20-Feb 18 Re-evaluate fallacies or fantasies about someone close who’s baffled or intrigued you. An existing love relationship can move to new heights. PISCES Feb 19-March 20 You might think you can get by on your charm or the good will of others, and you can in some instances, but it’s best not to take anything for granted. Make sure to fulfil promises. ARIES March 21-April 19 Find your centre and hang out. Always end the day with a positive thought. No matter how many challenges you face, tomorrow is a new opportunity to make things better. TAURUS April 20-May 20 Everyone occasionally needs a short time out from a relationship.

CANCER June 21-July 22 Be grateful when you obtain gratifying results. You have powerful energy at your disposal and should use it on constructive activities, not in tearing things apart. LEO July 23-Aug 22 Put the power of passion to work for you. When you’re engrossed in making the grade, nothing can stop you from reaching the top. Work hard you’ll receive notice for your efforts. VIRGO Aug 23-Sept 22 The grass might seem greener on the other side of the fence, but you could be seen as a trespasser if you jump over the fence to check things out. You may be intrigued by something or someone different. LIBRA Sept 23-Oct 22 Bad taste makes waste. There’s no reason to invest your resources in a fleeting fad or sudden whim that won’t suit your needs in the future. Focus your efforts on building up resources rather than spending. SCORPIO Oct 23-Nov 21 Concentrate on improving communications with a loved one. You might be lured into spending money on a passing fancy or be overly sensitive to romantic blunders. A frank discussion can clear things up.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 22-Dec 21 The trip uphill always takes the most effort, but going downhill is a breeze. Building up your net worth can become a passion, even if it requires long hours and stamina. You can stick it out.

If today is your birthday . . .

Your abilities may be tested, but you’ll pass every exam with flying colours between now and the end of September. This is not an optimum time to start anything of importance but may give you a chance to settle issues from the past. A romantic interest or wild goose chase could distract you from obligations. You can safely launch plans that are close to your heart during October, or take a break from routines by scheduling a much-needed holiday. During that month, a golden opportunity could be casually presented and you’d be wise to accept it with open arms. In February, you’ll be in a position to make key financial decisions or a career change.
