The past few days have seen some highly charged emotion, but there's relief in sight. Here it is, courtesy of someone who helps you shake off your intense mood and adopt a more easy-going approach. They may talk you into doing something on the spur of the moment or introduce you to the sort of person you wouldn't normally meet. Positive colours are salmon pink and parchment. Lucky numbers are 3 and 4.

It's just the day for making contact with friends, especially if they live a long way away or you haven't seen them for a while. Give them a ring, send them an email or write a long, chatty letter and renew your connection. This is also a brilliant day for taking part in a group activity, such as visiting a club that you belong to or getting together with some kindred spirits. Friendly colours are antique white and flashing blue. Lucky numbers are 3 and 11.

Jolly Jupiter, your life-ruler, moves into Aquarius today for a twelve month stay. Benefit comes this year for the Fishes through charitable institutions, connection with government departments, large corporations, hospitals, universities and the like. If you have the money, why not donate to institutions that aid the poor and needy? Even if you don't have much cash, give your time and energy to helping those less fortunate. In the coming year the focus turns to behind-the-scenes or otherwise solitary activities, even mystical or astrological studies. Read more on Jupiter in Aquarius. Empowering colours are green velvet and dusky rose. Lucky numbers are 12 and 21.

If you're a typical Pisces you don't have much money sense, but this is the day for getting a grip on it. Oh dear! If you suspect you spent too much over the festive season, you should grit your teeth and find out exactly how bad the damage is. Alternatively, if you've got a query about a financial matter, you'll be inspired to get to the bottom of it and find out what's going on. Ideal colours are copper and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 2 and 16.

If you're back at work today, you'll want to do your best and make a good impression on the boss. Since Venus enters your sign and your magnetism is high for the next few weeks, I'd say there's a good chance of it. If you're in a position of power yourself, use it wisely to avoid getting anyone's back up, or attracting accusations of favouritism. But who really cares? Buy a new outfit! It's a great time for looking good and influencing the world. Appealing colours are pistachio and pale lilac. Lucky numbers are 1 and 2.

A partner may have some useful suggestions for you, or a friend may make an offer you can't refuse. If you've been wondering whether to increase your knowledge of the world in some way, whether through travel or education or something else, you could hear some interesting information. However, don't be crushed by someone's attempts to control you. Beneficial colours are dark brown and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 1 and 7.

Even though you've been a bit down lately, a big smile is a fantastic way to start the year. Friends, family and partners will love having you around today, because you're a breath of fresh air, and your sparkling presence will liven up even the grumpiest old monkeys. Even if you were out on the town last night, you're in major party mood now, so why not get them all together tonight, when the Moon's in your sign? Where's that corkscrew? Auspicious colours are rose pink and cinnamon. Lucky numbers are 1 and 11.
