Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

You have had a tough time emotionally and it may take some time before the wounds on your heart heals completely. But you will receive compassion and empathy from people all around you. And you will be able to come out of it soon. Do not let your friends, colleagues or other family members interfere with your wishes. They might not like your thoughts and ideas but if you feel you are right just go ahead. Your dreams and desires are yours to fulfill. You tend to be shy and secretive. This keeps you away from meeting new people who might even be of some real help to you.
