♈ Aries

Mar 21 – Apr 19

(⏰) Your boss may ask you to take on an important task. You’ll be given more power to make decisions and/or a higher budget. A colleague may gossip about you because you perform better than them. A collaboration is on the cards for artists and creatives.

(₿) The more money you make, the more you spend. Beware of lifestyle inflation and instant gratification. Or else you may buy something you’re going to regret. From Aug 7-8, you’re more likely to be forgetful or — and we hope we’re wrong here — get robbed.

(⚤) A chance meeting with someone who’s physically your type is on the cards. Don’t be too eager to get to know them or get touchy-feely with them. It reads desperate at best and perverse at worst.

♒ Aquarius

Jan 20 – Feb 18
