♈ 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.

(♥) Couples disagree more often. Choose your words wisely or else your partner may take offence to everything you said. Your long-term financial goal and that of your partner may be incompatible. Your friend may act too friendly with you, causing your partner to become jealous.

(⚤) 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.

♉ Taurus

Apr 20 – May 20

(⏰) You become more proactive and productive next week. You may finish several tasks before their deadlines but you won’t get to relax afterwards as more tasks will land on your desk.

♊ Gemini

May 21 – Jun 20

(⏰) A sudden change of plans or unexpected difficulty may arise, resulting in a heavier workload and longer hours. However, a fair reward or incentive also awaits. You may look up to a senior who becomes a source of support and advice. If you’re in a competition, you may not get to the next round.

(₿) You manage your income, expenses and investments well. A freelance or side hustle opportunity also awaits. Customers you pleased yesterday bring future customers. Beware of charity swindlers. Keep your belongings and money close while vacationing in or outside the country.

(₿) Valuable insider info or a heartfelt gift may be yours. A financial negotiation is likely to end in a win-win situation. Your wallet becomes thicker while your savings grow and grow. Don’t forget to learn how to make money work for you. Saving account interests won’t outrun inflation.

Nov 22 – Dec 21

(⏰) Your team may become smaller and there won’t be a new hire. Your boss may ask you to take on an important task and you can’t say no.

If you have to interact with customers face-to-face a lot, beware of your body language or hand gestures as it can be misunderstood, especially if you work with customers from various cultures.

(₿) The more money you make, the more you spend. You like to upgrade everything in your life as your income rises. However, not everything in your life needs to be upgraded. There’s a difference between being rich and looking rich. There’s no need to impress everyone as we all will eventually be dead and forgotten. Too dark? Apologies.

(♥) Couples enjoy smooth communication. They understand each other quickly and sometimes know what the other wants to say before they say it. They may add healthy habits into their relationship like working out together and preparing nutritious meals.

♒ Aquarius

Jan 20 – Feb 18

(⏰) An opportunity to show off your skills is on the cards. You may finish a few tasks before their deadlines. What you feel about a situation may not be the reality of it. What seems bad may be beneficial. Opportunities to advance your career at the same firm or a new firm are on the cards.

(₿) Money goes out more than it comes in. Yolo is your motto and you buy everything you want. You’re addicted to early adopter status and instant gratification. You may be behind your savings goal but you don’t regret anything you buy. You know that you can wear the same clothes to another party, right?

(♥) One of the parents or more may show disapproval of your relationship as they think you two won’t last. It’ll take time and effort to win their approval and prove them wrong. Couples work as a team and celebrate each other’s successes.
