Your Year at a Glance in 2005
January: You'll be trying to deal with a lover's complicated issues, but all you can do is stand by. Just wait things out ‑- a solution will soon be at hand.
February: At work, jump at a chance to use more verbal and writing skills. You will confidently pull together a communication-related project.
March: For you, love is a comfort, but it's easy to let a partner do your thinking. Being "managed" is a sticky web ‑- don't get caught.
April: This Venus cycle will warn you not to impose your fantasy on a lover. You'll need to see him with clear eyes and love the real person.
May: In your workplace, a forced change will feel like a hindrance, but in the long term, it'll turn out to be lucky. You're about to find a new ally.
June: Your relationship will ask you to take a leap that worries you ‑- perhaps a move or a monetary investment. Do it and reap the rewards.
July: There's no reason to alter your career course just because someone wants you to. Break free by asserting your own agenda.

December: You're about to make an important life choice about love. Then, you and a mate will embark on an exciting challenge.

Your Best Stress-Busters for 2005

The independent Aquarian finds it maddening to be under the thumb of someone giving orders. But authority figures are a fact of life, and compromise doesn't have to equal stress. In fact, a give-and-take attitude is going to be essential as you launch a new venture in 2005, because you'll need the support of an important group. Be open to their suggestions and notice how readily yours will be accepted in return. As for your love relationship, your clinging creates as much angst for you as it does for him. Spend more time with friends, particularly doing something active. You and your partner will both appreciate the decreased tension in the air!

What's in Store for Your Aquarius Guy?

The Aquarius male always seeks more, and recent dissatisfaction will prod him to abandon a plan and take a more independent road. In love, he wants stability (but may not know it). With very little warning, an old friend will become more than platonic.
