AQUARIUS
20 January – 18 February
Move your plans forward at a steady pace, but refrain from pushing too hard. Let your clear spirit shine with Amazonite. It uplifts and helps you to harmonize your mental energy and creative flow. Amazonite is particularly helpful during what could be a transition period in your family relationships. There is a flow of money now and this may be a good time to liquefy some assets. However, it may be best to wait on making big decisions such as major transactions and signing contracts till late May. Also note that miscommunications at home can affect your ability to make good judgments in business, so give yourself time. Physical exercise is also vital to maintaining your balance.
