Horoscopes: Daredevils on the move

By Imhotep

Not ordinarily adventurous, people born under the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn (22 Dec -22 Jan) will venture into darker and more outlandish territory this March. Friends will follow you to the end of the earth. They will stand by you even when they think that you have gone mad. But foes, especially those lurking in the dark, will use the vilest scurrilous gossip to tarnish your reputation. Capricornians are often the deadliest hatchet men. And nobody wants a ruthless Sea Goat after his or her blood -- not even another Capricornian.

For the past year or so, typical Sea Goats have been stealthily developing a world-view, cultivating special friendships and building up networks to put their ideas into practice. For the past few months, Capricornians have been slaving away especially hard, plotting and planning to make their megadreams come true.

A Capricornian's worst enemy is often another hard-headed Saturn-ruled Capricornian. In the weeks ahead, as you hatch your schemes dear Sea Goats, make sure that you do not reveal your plans to other Capricornians who regard you as a rival.

Sea Goats work best in secret pulling the strings from behind the scenes. They are patient, pertinacious creatures who are willing to wait until their labours bear rich fruit. These Earth- bound, practical people like to lay low until their aspirations materialise in a tangible way. Secretive they might be, but it is about time that Capricornians accept that the rest of us are bound to take notice of their hard work. This March is a month when people at work and at home will audibly acknowledge the Capricornian efforts. But dear Sea Goats, remember that autumn, and not spring, is the harvest season.

Watch out, dear Capricornians, for people who do not have your best interests at heart, they might try to undo all your good work and undermine your efforts. Watch out especially for other Sea Goats.

People born under the Fixed Air sign of Aquarius (23 Jan-19 Feb) are not short of fighting spirit either. Do not cross a Water Bearer unless you are born under a stronger, more aggressive Sun sign or have Aquarius in the Ascendant.

Water Bearers, like Sea Goats, enjoy putting their ideas into action. And, Imhotep predicts that they shall work wonders this March. The problem is that Aquarians are not as patient as Capricornians. They easily get bored and find it hard to focus for long on the same subject. As soon as things do not work out according to plan, Water Bearers think of something new. This March Aquarians will have plenty of opportunity to start things afresh.

Lovers will be unceremoniously discarded, jobs changed, and new interests developed.

People born under the Mutable Water sign of Pisces (20 Feb -21 Mar) are not usually as aggressive as Sea Goats and Water Bearers -- except, of course, for a few Sharks. However this March, many Pisceans might experience an uncharacteristic surge of aggression. The problem, though, is that family and friends will be somewhat inured to the Piscean outbursts.

Passions and emotions will be especially inflamed around the time of each Piscean's birthday.

The stress might appear to be overwhelming for Pisceans this March until they accept Imhotep's assurance that things will work out.

March presents a golden opportunity for Pisceans to channel aggression into productive pursuits. Sharks especially should go on the offensive in pursuit of their prizes. Pisceans with Capricorn or Leo, Cancer or Aquarius in the Ascendant will be especially successful in achieving their goals this March.

Imhotep knows that their satisfaction will be felt in an intense and palpable way.

The less assertive Fish will be guided by their conviction that their gentle souls and sweet inner selves need greater recognition from family and friends.

Sometimes, it is absolutely necessary to sing your own praises, my dear Pisceans.
