We review the present results on the study of the propagation of relativistic collimated outflows characteristics of active galaxies and active stars. Magnetic fields, namely their azimuthal components, gives rise to current driven instabilities whose nonlinear development can actually be connected to the complex morphologies observed in astrophysical jets.
