Horoscopes:
The lessons of love
By Imhotep
St Valentine is upon us again, and love is in the air. Cancerians and Leonians are among the most romantic beings, and Imhotep foresees passionate escapades ahead. This is going to be a memorable St Valentine's Day for Crabs and Lions. The amorous season promises precious and heart-warming gifts for Virgoans as well.
Virgoans are practical down-to-earth people, but especially when they have a Water sign in the Ascendant can be very ardent lovers.
Though the wintry clouds cast shadows on people born in the cardinal Water sign of
Cancer (22 Jun-22 Jul)
this February, they have no lingering power to block the sun. Some Cancerians have the tendency to play ostrich and bury their heads in the sand when up against intractable problems. It might feel more comfortable at the moment to shut your eyes, dear Crabs, than to open them, but your powerful intuitive sense tells you that it is getting darker all around you. Cancerians are strong-willed and determined people, and most will weather the February storms.
Your Valentine will be especially supportive, so take heart dear Crabs.
People born under the fixed Fire sign of
Leo (23 Jul-22 Aug)
are alert, curious, perceptive. But be careful, Lions, curiosity killed the cat. Sometimes it is best not to probe too deeply for information that concerns our loved-ones. This February, ill-intentioned Leonians might get their fingers burnt over rummaging through the secret diaries of spouses or lovers.
For Leonians, St Valentine's Day will not turn out to be uneventful, but will leave them with the distinct sense of the anticlimax. Leonians are wise people, all things considered. Doubting Thomases by nature, Lions never take things at face value. But in this season of love, Leonians are well advised not to shoot suspicious glances at their lovers without good cause. They must not jump to conclusions when they have no absolute proof of their suspicions. There is an opportunity for Leonians to build relationships free of jealousy and infidelity in February. It's a golden opportunity, so take it.
Some Leonians are particularly susceptible to a wide range of psychosomatic disorders which can be especially virulent when the chips are down. Recovery invariably depends on the frame of mind of the individual concerned.
So cheer up fiery Leonians, look forward to a special candlelit dinner or fireside chat.
People born under the Mutable, Earth sign of
Virgo (23 Aug-22 Sep)
are in for pleasant surprises during the last two weeks of February. Characteristically apprehensive, Virgoans are always looking out for trouble.
It is vitally important to address the fear that often builds up inside a certain kind of Virgoan. Imhotep knows that for some Virgoans, especially those with a Virgo Ascendant, they are passing through an especially difficult period. Virgoans have been experiencing emotional and mental trials and tribulations for some time now, and none of these difficulties had seemed as distressing as the one you now face.
Take heart, Imhotep can see you perfectly and completely refreshed, both mentally and physically, by the beginning of March. Righteous and dutiful, Virgoans always have the urge to adopt the correct course of action.
A typical Virgoan exhibits a sometimes frustrating indecision and prudence that paralyses them and might lead to inaction. This feeling of incertitude is especially pronounced in a Virgo when life seems to change overnight from bright sunshine into utter darkness.
Virgoans are money-minded and in February they might fret more than a little about their financial situation. They have reason to be troubled. Fear not, Virgoans, your financial worries will soon dissipate. All will be well, Imhotep predicts. If you could just conquer your fear, you would be fine.
A few Virgoans, and especially those with a Venus-ruled zodiac sign like Taurus or Libra in the Ascendant, display a special flair for dress. So talented Virgoans, show off your artistic touch on St Valentine's Day.
