Horoscopes (Feb 12 - 18)

Whatever you say this week, partners and loved ones will disagree with you and vice versa. A recipe for disaster? Not necessarily – disagreements can be healthy as long as you’re prepared to learn from each other.

You may struggle to keep on top of things this week but don’t worry about it. The important thing is that you keep your long-range goals in mind and don’t lose heart even though you may lose a little ground.

Solar and lunar activity in two of the most creative areas of your chart invite you to dream the impossible dream – then make it come true. Not everyone will share your optimistic attitude. Ignore them and get on with it.

Reason may tell you one thing but your instincts tell you another. The current cosmic set-up will disrupt so many things you may decide it’s best to do nothing, but where there is disruption there is also opportunity.

Don’t make any hasty decisions this week or you may have to backtrack when you realise just how foolish you’ve been. What seems such a good idea one minute will look the height of stupidity the next.

Act confident even if your knees are knocking and you’re feeling out of your depth. What makes you think you’re the only one who feels that way? Don’t make the mistake of believing your opponents are better than you.

You may be rather emotional and any minor grudges you hold could lead to major arguments if you are not careful. Don’t make any moves for the next 48 hours. Give yourself time to calm down.

Certain plans may have to be revised in the light of new information but you being practical you’ll make the necessary changes. Life is full of surprises and you may surprise yourself by your readiness to adapt to changing circumstances.

You will want to do something that’s never been done before. You won’t care if others approve or not but you will care that your efforts are taken seriously. For that reason alone you must stay within the rules – well, almost.

There’ll be huge disruptions in the days ahead. You may not be able to control what happens but you can control how you react to it. See yourself as a lighthouse in a storm: a beacon of calm in an ocean of panic.

Problems will arise this week only if you speak out of turn or reveal your suspi­cions to someone who cannot be trusted to keep quiet. Or maybe you’re about to learn a secret you want to share with the world.

Scream and shout by all means but it won’t change a thing this week. The lingering influence of the lunar eclipse cutting across the financial axis of your chart means you’d be wise to keep your opinions to yourself.
