(⚤) An acquaintance asks if you want to be their FWB. If you're left-leaning, go for it. If you aren't, simply decline. There's no strictly right or wrong choice, here.

♏ Scorpio

♐ Sagittarius

Nov 22 – Dec 21

(♥) You truly realise that your partner is a mere mortal and accept him/her as sh/e is. You can't love someone for what they could ideally be. You're not even the ideal version of yourself. 

(⚤) You may experience office romance but should keep this to yourself for now. It may be frowned upon by the management.

♑ Capricorn

Dec 22 – Jan 19

(⛹) It takes less effort for you to convince someone to buy your ideas. Have your plan B ready in case someone breaks their promise. If you're a leader, make sure everyone in your team understands exactly what they need to contribute towards a common goal.

(฿) Although your financial standing is strong, you shouldn't celebrate too hard. You should give your wish list another look and cross out those you don't really need.

(♥) Your relationship is about peace and romance next week. You two “get physical” more often. Look up the late Olivia Newton John's Physical music video to pay your respects.

(⚤) If you're competing for someone's heart, you're the likely winner. Your competition may turn out to be a sore loser and throws a tantrum, though.

♒ Aquarius

Jan 20 – Feb 18

(⛹) You may need to scale down a project that you're working on and set more realistic goals. An important file may arrive late and delay the whole process. If you're a manager, another manager tries to persuade your junior to join their team.

(⚤) Your first date with someone is coming up. S/he looks better in person but s/he is funnier in text. Even though you're not looking for a relationship, your relative may play Cupid.
