Virgo

Perspiration Work colleagues won't enjoy bailing you out of one of your panics between 19 January and 9 February. Your ruler Mercury backtracks through your chart, and you're fretting about pressures, deadlines and word perfection. It's enough to make you want to take up a new aerobics class or build your own colosseum. Double-check your underlying motives for getting into such a state. Is it because you're not convinced you can rely on anyone else being as efficient as you are? By mid-April you have to admit you're a lot more ambitious than you've been pretending, and new professional blood in the workplace smells decidedly competitive. Reach for your tried-and-trusted rescue remedy, or solve the problem by relinquishing fanciful dreams for realistic goals.

Aspiration Galvanise your desire to be a bigger cog in the machine. Even though you sometimes fear stealing someone else's glory, there is a chance to benefit from someone's crazy remarks around 13 February. Profit while you can and promote your own more sensible talents. Appearances are very revealing in early March. Don't throw on that cloak of invisibility just because a mean colleague thinks you aren't in their league. Professional image-making is your thing, so create a myth and live it out by the end of May. Worship your work as you do your body mid-June, and you won't regret any decisions you have made.
