You feel calm and prepared for whatever life throws your way. Hold back a little when it comes to physical activities and redirect that spare energy into a single-minded focus on an achievable goal today. Persistent efforts will be rewarded.

It's not a good time to take risks, especially when it comes to your career. Focus on stability and try flying under the radar for a while. Conflict is brewing at work and you may be caught in the crossfire.

Success is within reach, but patience is required for it to be last in the long-term. Enlist the help of loved ones and adopt a collaborative approach in everything you do. Your love life is about to get an unexpected boost.

You've steadfastly defied all odds and have won a lot of admirers, but don't get cocky now, Cancer. Winter has a way of bringing down your mood. Vitamin-rich foods and a strict sleep schedule will help.

Even though you tend to shirk tedious work, you're still popular with your colleagues. An inner restlessness drives you to seek out novelty for its own sake. That's OK for now, but ultimately, you'll have to figure out what you truly want.

If you don't get your act together, your relationship won't survive. Start with an honest conversation about shared goals and values. It may help you learn something about yourself, as well as your partner.

Mistakes happen, Libra. Your lucky stars are hiding behind a dark cloud at the moment, so don't be too hard on yourself. You have a lot of compassion and are an attentive listener. Give yourself the benefit of the doubt for once.

You can pick up interesting and valuable tricks by tapping into the wisdom of a new connection. An innocent flirt has a chance to become a lasting connection if you want it to. Be clear about your motives.

A particularly strong craving for unhealthy food is often a sign of stress, Sagittarius. Don't eat your feelings, opening up to people you trust is much better for both body and soul.

Feelings can't be forced. If a relationship isn't working out, it may be time to cut your losses. First and foremost, be honest with yourself. Is love your true number one priority, or does it compete with other life goals?

Your tense mood is starting to affect those around you too. Avoid making big decisions while your judgment is clouded by external factors. Only by taking full responsibility can you bring about that inner peace you long for.

Inspiration will come from an unlikely source, as long as you have an open mind and a humble attitude. Your financial prospects are stable, but could do with a boost. Take a calculated risk and you could get lucky.
