Aquarius
Born between: Jan 20th - Feb 19th
Those born under the Aquarian are honest, artistic and loyal in their nature which makes them wonderful friends and family members. However stubborn and defensiveness are characterises attributed to Aquarians.
It's a wonderful end to the month because you're feeling so upbeat and cheerful. You're a walking advert for the power of positive thinking this Monday, because you're able to view problems as challenges, take things in your stride and not get your knickers in a twist about anything. However, don't let this make you so complacent that you ignore something that really does need your urgent attention and which will cause trouble for you if you leave it for much longer. Practical colours are raspberry and tartan. Lucky numbers are 7 and 14.
Your thoughts turn to personal matters from today, and that's the way they'll stay for the next two weeks. This is your opportunity to examine your life and think things through, especially if you're currently trying to decide what you want to achieve in 2005. However, at times you'll have to drag your thoughts away from yourself and towards other people, otherwise they'll be perfectly justified in accusing you of being too wrapped up in yourself. Auspicious colours are strawberry and fawn. Lucky numbers are 24 and 63.
It may not sound very exciting, but this is a great day for catching up with the chores and getting up to date with your finances. So set aside some time to pay bills, check meters or fill in forms, and also to do a few household tasks. Once all that's out of the way, you'll deserve to have a breather and you'll be able to put your feet up with a clear conscience and the satisfaction of knowing you've achieved something. Fortuitous colours are sunset orange and spring green. Lucky numbers are 20 and 73.
A friend has very strong ideas about what you should and shouldn't do at the moment. They'll make their feelings known today, although they'll do so in so-called subtle ways that feel more like ultimatums to you. If you don't like what's being suggested you must stand up to this person, but that could be a daunting proposition because they're hell-bent on getting their own way. But you can't be bossed about like this, can you? Fortunate colours are sky blue and mango. Lucky numbers are 36 and 33.
For some reason, you're feeling dejected and low-spirited. You have to sacrifice fun for work and you're feeling resentful about it, or you suspect that your popularity among your colleagues leaves a lot to be desired. You may also be feeling rather tired and run down, which will have a negative effect on your mood. So be kind to yourself, get plenty of rest, and try to take any knocks on the chin. Ideal colours are dark purple and dark gold. Lucky numbers are 29 and 59.
Be very careful about what you say and do today because there's a strong possibility that you're being misleading or confusing. You may think you're being as clear as daylight but everyone else will disagree and accuse you of being as clear as mud. Above all, make sure you explain anything important rather than hoping that others have got the general gist and are somehow blessed with the psychic powers that will enable them to read your mind for the rest of the facts. Auspicious colours are silver and gold. Lucky numbers are 17 and 9.
Today's Full Moon will have a big impact on your relationships during the next two weeks. It's telling you to sort out any long-standing problems with partners so you can forget all about them and move on to a new phase in your relationship. In the meantime, you may have to give someone a few home truths or be prepared to admit that you haven't been behaving as beautifully as you might have hoped. Throughout all this, try to keep calm and not turn the whole thing into a frazzled crisis. Ideal colours are coffee and cream. Lucky numbers are 18 and 57.
In an ideal world, you would put all your commitments to one side today and spend your time being lazy, doing as little as possible and eating lots of food. Any chance of that happening? I think not, so you'll have to make the best of it by arranging something nice to look forward to, either at some point today or later in the week. Something else that will cheer you up is hearing a lovely compliment. Favourable colours are red velvet and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 26 and 60.
A certain person could get awfully carried away today, which makes them say things they don't mean or offer to do things they'll never get round to. Try to take all this with a pinch of salt, otherwise you'll feel incredibly let down when you realize that it was all just a load of hot air. And make sure you don't fall into the same trap yourself of promising more than you can deliver! This is a day to say what you mean and mean what you say. Favourable colours are persimmon and lemon. Lucky numbers are 13 and 48.
You're in a very cheerful mood this Saturday, so don't spoil it by getting bogged down in your usual weekend routine. Instead, forget about your normal Saturday schedule if possible and do something entirely different for a change. If you can't escape a round of shopping and other chores, do them in a different order or find other ways to liven them up such as shopping in a nearby town rather than on your own doorstep. Even these small changes will make you feel invigorated. Fortunate colours are shell pink and dark blue. Lucky numbers are 29 and 46.
You're full of energy and buzz today, and you can't wait to get going on projects that fill you with excitement. This is a super day for pursuing your travelling plans, perhaps by booking that flight or choosing the perfect hotel. If such things are out of the question for the moment, don't fret because you'll have plenty of fun closer to home if you can get together with friends or other people who are on your wavelength. Expressive colours are sapphire blue and emerald green. Lucky numbers are 28 and 43.
Is a loved one deliberately trying to wind you up or do they just have a knack of making you grit your teeth and roll your eyes? You need every ounce of patience when dealing with you-know-who today because they're being so contrary and difficult, especially when it comes to ideas and items that you feel strongly about. Do you think there might be a connection between their disruptive behaviour and your insistence on honouring your values and priorities? Harmonious colours are lemon and dusky pink. Lucky numbers are 12 and 22.
You've been feeling withdrawn and reticent so far this month but you start to blossom from today, and during the next four weeks you'll be on really great form. This is the perfect opportunity to get out your list of New Year resolutions (what do you mean, you don't have a list?) and start running through it. What are you going to achieve first? Seize the initiative and make things happen! And if you don't have a list, write one immediately! Beneficial colours are avocado and violet. Lucky numbers are 13 and 22.
You need plenty of patience today when dealing with a loved one. They're very dithery, which drives you bats because you can't get much sense out of them. If they go shopping for you they might forget the one thing you need most of all, or they could get into a muddle over a domestic arrangement. Before you blow your top, ask them if something is bothering them because maybe they're distracted by worries you don't know about. Favourable colours are ultramarine and ochre. Lucky numbers are 11 and 73.
There's a nip in the air and it has nothing to do with the weather. Someone is in a bad mood, although they'll do their best to cover it up, and they're silently fuming about something. You won't know about this until you say or do the wrong thing, and then you'll catch the sharp edge of their tongue. Or are you the one who's got smoke coming out of your ears? If so, do your best to get things off your chest without creating havoc in the process. Advantageous colours are champagne and dark red. Lucky numbers are 20 and 71.
Life is full of opportunities and you can't wait to get your mitts on some of them today. In fact, you'll want to grab as many of them as possible, which is where the problems could start because you'll have a tendency to take on more things than you can manage. So try not to overcommit yourself to anything, even if it's a string of social events, because you'll be embarrassed later on when you have to admit defeat and scale down your ideas. Dazzling colours are gold and indigo. Lucky numbers are 12 and 48.
Aquarians have a strong humanitarian streak and today you get the opportunity to display yours. You might want to lend a hand to a friend or associate who needs your support, or you could prefer to get involved with a charity. It's also a great day for taking part in a gathering of kindred spirits, but you'll want to be one of the crowd rather than the person in charge. Your ego seems to have disappeared for the time being! Beneficial colours are saffron and old oak. Lucky numbers are 10 and 12.
If you felt rather miserable yesterday, help is at hand today. This could arrive in the guise of someone who acts like a guardian angel and says exactly the sorts of things that are guaranteed to make you feel better, or simply because you're feeling more like your old self. If you're becoming involved in a secret relationship, you'll hear something that makes you purr like a cat. Harmonious colours are viridian and red. Lucky numbers are 30 and 6.
It isn't a very easy day because you're feeling very sensitive, so anyone's nasty comments will soon start to get to you. Actually, you'll be much happier if you can be left alone to get on with things in peace, especially if you're feeling slightly shy or withdrawn right now. Try to give yourself some light relief, though, otherwise you may spend far too long working because your standards are so high or you imagine you aren't doing things well enough. Favourable colours are orange and primrose. Lucky numbers are 37 and 67.
You're feeling full of confidence and optimism today, which is great. It certainly puts a spring in your step and ensures that things go with a swing. If your thoughts turn to holidays and long journeys, it will be almost impossible for you not to book up something on the spur of the moment. Well, maybe that's exactly what you should do unless there are good reasons not to? And you'll probably soon make short work of those! Calming colours are beige and peach. Lucky numbers are 10 and 12.
A friend is very encouraging today, much to your delight. They might tell you to carry on with a current project because it looks like being a winner, or insist that you continue to believe in something that's only a pipe dream at the moment because it will eventually turn into reality. Alternatively, you'll be the one who's doing the cheerleader act and encouraging someone else to have faith in themselves and in their dreams. Fortunate colours are blackberry and beige. Lucky numbers are 7 and 25.
It's time to spring-clean your life, starting with the things you don't usually like to think about. This might mean facing up to some of your fears so they shrink to manageable proportions rather than remaining too big to even contemplate. On a practical level, it means tidying up cluttered cupboards, sorting out that pile of junk you keep ignoring or having a blitz on the dusting. Communicative colours are chestnut and silver. Lucky numbers are 13 and 20.
It isn't always easy for you to show the soft and sentimental side of your nature but you'll get plenty of opportunity to do just that during the next four weeks. You'll feel much more romantic and lovey-dovey than usual, which is good news if you're part of a couple. However, you could also be attracted to someone who's already involved with someone else, leading to plenty of temptation and possibly even some secret trysts. Emotional colours are pink and persimmon. Lucky numbers are 8 and 44.
You're feeling proud of yourself this Saturday, but for some reason you don't want to show it. Maybe you think it's big-headed of you, or the current situation means that it would be tactful for you to play down your recent triumphs. However, your sense of achievement will come out one way or the other, so it would be better to mention it quite clearly than to drop loaded hints and hope someone takes you up on them. Be straightforward! Stabilising colours are amber and terracotta. Lucky numbers are 16 and 1.
This is the perfect day for getting involved in a group activity of some sort, whether it's a club or a social gathering. You'll soon find that you're taking the lead, even if it isn't usually your role. Maybe you'll be asked to take a more active part in the group, or you'll decide that it isn't getting anywhere in its current form and it needs your guidance. That's fine, but don't tread on anyone's toes. Strong colours are platinum and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 5 and 12.
If you're a typical Aquarian you're usually quite sociable, but today you definitely prefer your own company. It will do you good to spend some time by yourself, especially if you've had more than enough social activity during the past few weeks. If you're working on something important, you'll prefer to be left to your own devices so there's no danger of someone interrupting your train of thought. Fortunate colours are sable and pink. Lucky numbers are 8 and 13.
Don't judge people by their appearances today. You may think that a certain person looks as though they belong to a bygone age but they could have some very sound advice for you right now, especially if it concerns your finances or something that means a lot to you. So hear them out and then think about what they said before deciding that it can't possibly have any relevance for you. Beneficial colours are green velvet and mandarin. Lucky numbers are 10 and 22.
You're intrigued by what a friend is up to today and you won't relax until you've got to the bottom of it. The trouble is that you probably won't be able to do this unless you're a born detective, and you might offend your friend in the meantime. Rather than prying into things that don't really concern you, turn your attention to your hopes and wishes, and start thinking about how you can make them a reality. Relaxing colours are champagne and caramel. Lucky numbers are 9 and 29.
Watch out if this is your first day back at work because you really aren't in the mood for it. In fact, the prospect of it is making you feel grumpy and bad-tempered, and possibly even a bit sulky. So what's bugging you, and what can you do about it? Is it because you're feeling resentful for some reason, or because you're worried that a secret is about to be exposed? If so, don't take out your bad mood on people who happen to be innocent bystanders. Reserve your ire for the people who deserve it! Calming colours are pink and pistachio. Lucky numbers are 12 and 24.
You're in a very industrious mood today. Maybe you feel that the celebrations are over and it's time to get back to work, even if that only means scrubbing the kitchen floor or clearing out the fridge? This is all very commendable, but try to find time for a special someone who could do with your support and encouragement. Auspicious colours are brown and honey. Lucky numbers are 11 and 47.
It's a thoughtful start to 2005. You'll be happiest if you can be with one or two special people, rather than a whole room full of people you barely know, and even then you'll appreciate having some time to yourself. You're also full of emotion but it's hard to get at, unless you either make a big effort to get in touch with your feelings or you watch a weepy film, in which case you'll probably need several boxes of tissues. Stabilising colours are turquoise and black. Lucky numbers are 8 and 37.
