January 20 - Fabruary 18
PISCES
A colleague who has made a costly error will try to keep the critics at bay by pointing a finger in your direction. Yes, it’s true, you’ve made mistakes as well but what they’ve done is far more serious, so don’t let them lay the blame at your door.
February 19 - March 20
ARIES
You will know just the right things to say to impress people in positions of power today. Once you have got their attention let them know why you deserve a promotion or a pay rise, or maybe both. Sing your own praises long and loud!
March 21 - April 19
TAURUS
If you overreact to criticism today you will encourage rivals to believe you are not as sure of yourself as you like to appear. It may not be true – you are rarely plagued by self-doubt – but you can do without the extra attention it brings.
April 20 - May 20
GEMINI
If you do nothing else today you must at least control your emotions, because if you lose your grip your enemies will pounce on it as evidence that you cannot be trusted to make important decisions. Strive to be ice cool at all times and in all situations.

VIRGO
If there are any lingering bad feelings about what was said or done recently then you need to get over them today, if only so it doesn’t ruin your weekend. Make sure others know you hold no grudges and are more than happy to work with them again.

You may be laidback by nature but there are still days when you could easily lose your temper with people who appear to delight in saying and doing things of the utmost stupidity. If that’s how you feel today then let it happen. Better out than in!

Someone you have to deal with today will be rather excitable and you must make it your mission to calm them down, not just for their own good but for your benefit as well. Because you are partners what they say and do will affect you as well.
