(♥) Healthy arguments and constructive criticism can improve your relationship in the long run. Couples show mutual support and care for one another. Cross-cultural couples may face legal issues and have to tackle piles of paperwork.

(⚤) You may be hotter than you give yourself credit for. You meet potential admirers IRL and online. Someone from your friends circle may confess their attraction. This may not come as much of a surprise because you already have a hunch about this person.  

♓ Pisces

Feb 19 – Mar 20

(⏰) You may have to make an important decision in your work life but you won’t see it coming. Power and pay will be yours while colleagues look on with envy. The petty ones may gossip about you and give you the cold shoulder. Don’t expect true friendship from colleagues.

(₿) You manage your income, expenses and investments well. You’re so busy with your main job and side hustle that you don’t get to spend your hard-earned money. Someone may try to guilt you to lending them money by bringing up a favour they did for you.  

(♥) Couples may not get along all the time but they try to see things from each other’s POV. If you’re two-timing, you may get exposed and shamed for it. You may end up with one of them or none. 

(⚤) You click with someone older who shares similar mindsets and values. Someone with a good online profile may slide into your DMs. If you have several potential admirers, you’ll soon find out who’s your favourite.
