Horoscopes:

Inner depths

By Imhotep

---

A bracing experience, my dear Scales as people born under the Cardinal Air sign of Libra (23 Sep-23 Oct) are sometimes called, will get you back in touch with your innate sixth sense and with the more intuitive awareness side of your natures.

Librans are an insightful lot. Scales like to probe beneath the surface of things. In May they shall dig deep into the inner meanings of their lives. You are in contemplative mood, my dear Scales.

But, May is an emotionally exacting month for most Librans. Nerves can be strained. A lover's tiff or even an axe to grind. But rest assured, battles can often be refreshingly salubrious. The toughest battle, though is with oneself, especially when one tries to desist from foolish activities. Carry disposable tissues and your mobile phones just in case you need to reach out for your best friend at a moment's notice. Pour your hearts out to those who care to listen sympathetically. Cry buckets.

Cry and don't hold back those tears. It'll do you plenty of good. You've always been good at expressing yourself, but by mid-May you'd be truly excellent at it.

Ruled by Mars, Eagles, as people born under the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio (24 Oct-23 Nov) are sometimes called, will be in belligerent mood in May.

The Red Planet, named after the Roman god of war, was known to the ancient Egyptians as Har Dekhter -- The Red One. Eagles will see red towards the middle of next month. Imhotep strongly advises Eagles to hold the purse-strings in family situations, and especially towards the ends of this month. Eagles instinctively know that they should be in charge. They know when to act with authority.

Eagles instinctively know that their lives have changed beyond recognition in the past few months. Eagles have big plans, in the weeks ahead, but are hesitant about going ahead with their carefully thought- out schemes. The details of your plans are getting a bit hazy in your minds at the moment. Don't worry, once you put your heart to it, you can work wonders.

Conflict aside, April will end peacefully. By the Christian Orthodox Easter and Sham Al-Nassim (Spring Festival), everyone, including your good self, will be ready to talk things over and reach a happy compromise.

Centaurs, as people born under the Mutable Fire sign of Sagittarius (24 Nov-23 Dec) are sometimes called, are now in a most romantic mood. Close the windows and shut the doors and indulge in private passion.

And, conversation...

Go deep in May, and as the month progresses go even deeper. But, beware of impetuosity -- it can, if not contained, spoil some of the fun. Your boundless energy sometimes leads you astray. And, please do not ride roughshod over the sensitivities of others.

This is a great time to be with others and to work closely with others. But, my dear Centaurs, you'll have to learn how to listen more attentively.

A surprising someone will suddenly catch your attention, my dear Sagittarians. A casual glance that lasts a little too long is sure to get your heart to race even faster.
