CAREER: You're cautious and principled in your affairs during the first three weeks of January. Clear internal communication takes precedence over outreach and advertising. Then team spirit erodes as the Aquarius Sun urges individuals to lobby for raises and perks, or to seek other jobs. Those who don't like the message still have to take it seriously. By March, trust and security become less of an issue. With operations running smoothly, you have more time for the creative side of your work.

Competition heats up in the Spring. Your work may be the same, but the stakes are higher. Around April 3rd, show your clients extra hospitality without being obsequious.
