any competition in a diplomatic manner without giving your
power away.

Pay attention to your career, but keep out of office politics, and be very careful what you say on social media and in messages. Focus on building stability in your finances rather than looking for quick gain.
LOOK TO CHANGE What you think are your capabilities and limits. Most of the blocks you face may be self-created, especially if you have the tendency to over dramatize situations. There may be times when doing what looks like a very insignificant task would actually give you immense satisfaction. Be your own best cheerleader rather than harshest critic.
LEVERAGE YOUR POWER TO Get control over any not really good for you habits you may have. Those who eat out a lot should think of eating more of home cooked food. Approach situations from a space of logic rather than emotions, and respond rather than rush to reply.

LOOK TO CHANGE The way you approach situations when you do not have enough clarity; new ideas may need to be worked through.

Giving in to situations just to avoid temporary conflict may create more problems for you to deal with in the future.

LEVERAGE YOUR POWER TO Work with and through any challenges you face, and do what is right. Step back and examine situations from as detached a perspective as possible. Be comfortable with changing situations and look forward to new beginnings. Recognise situations when going back to basics is the best option, and keep a beginners attitude.
LOOK FORWARD TO Situations getting clearer once you have a plan in place, even if it a very basic plan. Pay attention to clues your subconscious memory sends you, and listen to your intuition. This is a generally positive time for self employed businesspersons as long as they make very straightforward and practical decisions. Advice from a mentor would be invaluable.
WORDS FOR THE WISE Remember that fear constricts your soul and can prevent you from finding your true potential. Fill your heart with courage and a passion to do what is right. You do not have to live your life just as others have, but rebelling just for the sake of it may also not work out in the end. Remember that there are no choices and actions without consequences.
Pisces
February 19-March 20
ANNUAL SNAPSHOT Look at situations from a different perspective, especially if you find yourself pushed into making decisions only to please others. There could be a change of residence for some, and even a shift to another city if that is something you want. Handle finances with a balance that reflects your actual situation rather than any fears.
LOOK TO CHANGE What is not working for you, even if it is something that is convenient and comfortable.

WORDS FOR THE WISE Patience may sometimes be frustrating, but nature has its own time - this is especially true if you want to start a new project; be willing to build a strong foundation slowly. Don't forget to make time for yourself too, instead of filling your day with projects to keep you busy. Work on keeping yourself focused instead of giving in to distractions.
