AQUARIUS - January 20 thru February 18
Stay on top of deadlines in July. After 7/5, an old issue may come back to haunt you. Finish creative enterprises before 7/13. Watch your weight after that date. A little appreciation goes a long way for you. Show more warmth to those you care for; let your feelings show more. You don't have to be the rock that everyone leans on. Shared finances come into play between 8/14 and 8/31. Ask for what is owed to you. Change is still ready to pounce on you at any time. Stay relaxed -- you can handle any curve ball that comes your way. Say "yes" to opportunities, but know that flexibility is the order of the day. Stay positive.

PISCES - February 19 thru March 20
Slow down in July and just do what feels good. Energy ebbs and flows in spurts, so short-term projects may work best for now. After 7/5, changes will occur regarding friends or goals. After 7/13, you can benefit through social ties. You feel good the last part of the month. Stay upbeat in August and pay attention to deadlines. Things will be moving fast, so promise only what you want to deliver. Others will applaud your efforts if you remain cheerful. A vacation may be in order this month. Go for it; you deserve it.
