advertisersindex Aquarius January 19 – February 20 You are about to experience a new era in your life and many of the initial changes are not likely to be ones you can adapt to easily. More than anything you need to focus on the things that matter most to you and perhaps, for the first time, bury the pride that has held you back for so long. Open your heart to the people who really care. Financially, you may find that things will be tight but you should be sure that you do not cling to possessions just for the sake of it. If you are able to sell what you no longer use you might just benefit from the extra cash in your pocket. Card of the Month — The Queen of Swords
pisces February 21 – March 20 Temptation waits for you at every corner this month, and you will need to be at your very strongest to resist. One of your big failings as a water sign is not being able to keep a strong hold of your emotions or feelings. It is a lesson you need to learn through experience [DASH] both good and bad. Try not to go crazy and spend a fortune just for the sake of it or you’ll be nursing your regrets for some time. Be sensible! On the relationship front, you may discover an admirer from times past decides to make a move on you. The long-term signs are positive, if you don’t let your enthusiasm get the better of you. Card of the Month — The Seven of Swords
The summer is approaching and thoughts of holidays and getaways will populate your mind. Planning will begin in earnest around the 10th and, after a rather lacklustre break in 2012, you are setting your mind on something a lot more substantial this year. Additionally, property may occupy your thoughts for the latter part of June as an investment matures and you seek to expand a portfolio you have been slowly building. If you are quick and even a little crafty, you might just uncover a real bargain around the 27th, so keep your eyes open! Card of the Month — The Star
Taurus April 21 – May 20 You love this time of year and for your sign there is a great deal to look forward to, particularly when it comes to relationships, Whether it is a longstanding partnership or new romance on the horizon, the approach of summer will add an additional spring to your step that only benefits your feelings towards a loved one. Try to build on this by planning new experiences together; your recent busy schedule has kept you away from that special person for longer than you would have liked, and that is something which needs to change.
