Pisces (20 Feb – 20 Mar)
Make the most of opportunities to broaden your work experience or to explore a new direction. Curb the urge to splurge; budget and get serious about saving.
SELF-CARE: Be as giving to yourself as you are to others.
PERSONALITY: The gentle, kind-hearted Pisces woman is happy going with the flow. Sensitive and intuitive, she is a poet, artist or dreamer at heart. An easy-going, loving partner and parent, she naturally puts others first and so tends to be self-sacrificing.
STRENGTH: She is able to identify with others’ experiences without judging.
BLIND SPOT: As she has a soft spot for lame ducks and outcasts, people can take advantage of her unless she learns to draw boundaries.
INSPIRATION FOR THE YEAR: Say yes to adventure, whether it comes in the form of travel, a learning opportunity or spiritual exploration.
GEMSTONES: Amethyst and coral.

Aries (21 Mar – 20 Apr)
Up until the 17th, the pace of life is fast and fun. Then the focus shifts to dealing with responsibilities and getting things done. When obstacles appear, pause to reflect before deciding on the next step.
Self-care: Make time to recharge your batteries with outdoor activities.
Taurus (21 Apr – 21 May)
Turn your attention to completing tasks, tying up loose ends and reviewing the budget. As your perspective is likely to change, put important decisions on hold until next month.
Self-care: You need extra time to rest, reflect and savour the sweetness of life.
Gemini (22 May – 21 Jun)
Positive developments on the work front offer you the opportunity to expand your scope. Be ready to think on your feet and improvise. Around the 23rd, you’re better off reviewing and revising than pushing ahead.
Self-care: Think less, get moving more and be adventurous.
Cancer (22 Jun – 23 Jul)
Rather than staying stuck in a familiar rut, be open to innovation. Mid-month, communication with your partner and parents requires extra patience and persistence. Actions will often speak louder than words.
Self-care: End each day with a recap of what felt good.
Leo (24 Jul – 23 Aug)
Reorganising work systems will pay off in the long term. With your partner, contentment comes from accepting them as they are and sharing gentle pleasures. Double-check any travel arrangements.
Self-care: Reduce the pressure to perform and allow yourself to play more.
Virgo (24 Aug – 23 Sept)
Take it easy until the 6th, when you enter a phase that favours putting forward ideas and launching initiatives. Parenting responsibilities are also up for review. After the 22nd, take a step back.
Self-care: Try to find the courage to ask for what you want.
Libra (24 Sept – 23 Oct)
Take advantage of an injection of get-up-and-go to make things happen. Although there are some obstacles along the way, don’t let them stop you. Do a rethink and look for ways around them.
Self-care: Make a commitment to give yourself regular me-time.
Scorpio (24 Oct – 22 Nov)
Rather than pushing against the tide, recognise when to let go and allow things to take their course. Around the 11th, finances get an unexpected boost. At work, double-check details and follow up on arrangements.
Self-care: Increase your vitality with varied physical activity.
Sagittarius (23 Nov – 22 Dec)
Your month gets off to a dynamic start. There are also some pleasant surprises. The challenge of teaching children responsibility stretches you to think creatively. Also, give attention to sorting out money matters.
Self-care: You’ll gain from meditating, reflecting and releasing the past.
Capricorn (23 Dec – 20 Jan)
Staying on top of family life keeps you on your toes. Watch out for over-organising, as you’ll meet resistance. Leave room for spontaneity and individual initiative. Around the 16th, be prepared to discuss options and negotiate solutions.
Self-care: A good laugh is good medicine.
Aquarius (21 Jan – 19 Feb)
You can look forward to interesting encounters with stimulating people and ideas. There’s also the possibility of a short trip. From the 17th, the focus shifts to getting on with things behind the scenes.
Self-care: Ensure a good night’s sleep by unwinding before bedtime.
