Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Something going on behind the scenes today will ultimately benefit you. In large measure, this is because someone in a position of authority, or perhaps a parent, has given you the green light to do what it is you want to do. In fact, they might give you more than permission or approval; they might give you funding and practical support.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
