Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19
Career matters could be on hold, perhaps due to Mercury being retrograde in this crucial part of your chart.

You may now feel more motivated to get moving on plans and ideas that have been on the backburner for a while.
Aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 18
On Thursday, the Solar Eclipse in your zone of career and ambitions could mark a turning point this week. It might coincide with a decision to strike out in a new direction.

Meanwhile, the move of Mars into Capricorn could stir up your psyche and your dreams.
Pisces Feb 19 - Mar 20
If you've experienced delays with joint financial affairs, they may be due to Mercury retrograde. Mercury pushes ahead on Saturday to bring an end to frustration.
