Let someone set you up in the Chinese lunar New Year, dear Rams, as people born under the sign of Aries (21 Mar-21 Apr) are sometimes called. The days ahead will demonstrate that you are capable of displaying deep passion -- either spiritual or carnal -- and a mystical idealism. Just as the old flame appears to be dying, you'll build up another fire.

You are in a bit of a bind when it comes to your family and friends, my dear Bulls, as people born under the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May) are sometimes called. Their dramas are getting shrill and you are not so used to leading the parade. Don't put your loved one on a pedestal, expecting him or her to live up to an impossible image of perfection.

Playing hooky with a friend can be lots of fun, my dear Twins, as people born under the Mutable Air sign of Gemini (23 May-22 Jun) are sometimes called. There is practically nothing a Twin won't tackle. You want to brighten up your life and you'll make a stab at it whether it is practical or not. However, you cannot put up with the possessiveness of your beloved.

Perseverance pays off. Stick with the redoubtable romantic winners, dear Crabs, as people born under the sign of Cancer (22 Jun-22 Jul) are sometimes called. You can have fun almost anywhere and anytime in February. Indeed, next month is perfect for romance. And, Crabs are among the most romantic souls.

Be careful with whom you entrust your love life. This is a great week to celebrate with family and friends, dear Lions, as people born under the sign of Leo (23 Jul-22 Aug) are sometimes called. Show your appreciation for their undying love. Spend the week spinning records, laughing and reminiscing about old times.

Behave like the devoted proud parent of your dreams, dear Virgoans, as people born under the sign of Virgo (23 Aug-22 Sep) are sometimes called. Adopt the lonely and unhappy souls. Show your altruistic nature. This is a tricky week that might play havoc with your emotions and ruffle your affections. Resolve to be strong, and hope for the best.

This week is full of promise, and this is an especially lovely period for enchanting paramours, dear Scales, as people born under the sign of Libra (23 Sep- 23 Oct) are sometimes called. Watch your tongue. You don't have to hold your tongue, either. The answer you are seeking will come. What you say matters a great deal.

Someone is watching from afar, dear Eagles, as people born under the sign of Scorpio (24 Oct-23 Nov) are sometimes called. So be on your best behaviour and in tip-top shape. It is a great week for spontaneous gatherings. So look for opportunities to share your positive energy with your closest and dearest friends and family. Go forward to a better future.

This is a good week to get started on something new, my dear Centaurs, as people born under the sign of Sagittarius (24 Nov-23 Dec) are sometimes called. Live life to the full. Your adversaries have a reputation for being opaque and you are transparent. You will solve the puzzle later and it shouldn't take too long.

There is another way of keeping as many people as possible happy. It doesn't matter if things don't make sense now, my dear Sea Goats, as people born under the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn (22 Dec-22 Jan) are sometimes called. You will put all the pieces together in the days ahead. Just go along with the situation as it moves ahead and you will be fine.

Be mindful of the needs of those who love you. It might feel like everything is changing, my dear Water Bearers, as people born under the Fixed Air sign of Aquarius (23 Jan-19 Feb) are sometimes called. But, really it is just a few seemingly solid aspects of your life that are shifting. Change with the changing times. This is the time for readjusting. The Stars will surely guide you.

You are on a roll this week, dear Dolphins, as people born under the sign of Pisces (20 Feb-21 Mar) are sometimes called. Keep it going through the New Year. You are ready for anything, and you shall witness wonders. Cosmic forces will guide you. True happiness is at hand. Now you have a huge opportunity to have peace of mind.
