Horoscopes:

Divine sensations

By Imhotep

You are divinely sensitive now, my dear Rams, as people born under the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries (21 Mar- 21 Apr) are sometimes called. That means that you can pick up on all sorts of nuances others might miss. It is a real romantic advantage. Let your little actions speak as loud or louder than your words, too.

Rams are usually bold and articulate. However, solitude is sometimes salubrious. Do you really need an audience now? Think hard. Plan for solo time during the holy Muslim month of Ramadan and you will want to relax and renew your energies. Time for spiritual rejuvenation? By the Eid El-Fitr, however, joining up with others is definitely favoured -- find a party, a singles event or another great scene to be a central part of. Mundane matters will have added importance by the end of Ramadan. The Stars are sending you some down-to-Earth energy to complement your usual fierce and forceful temperament. What a terrible combination of characteristics? Try to check in with those co-workers whom you do not see all that often, they have got resources that can be of serious value to you. If work is not happening, call on an old friend or distant relative instead.

You need a boost from a boss or teacher and it should come without you having to ask, my dear Bulls as people born under the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May). But by late September, brighter prospects are in store for you. Sometimes life surprises you with its unconstrained kindness. Your good energy should keep flowing. Press on.

Ruled by Venus, you are warm, witty and grounded as well as gorgeous and sensuous. Hot stuff.

In Ramadan, you might find yourself helping someone in an impromptu counseling session. But, an unlikely source may also have some romantic input for you. Be ready and willing for a little love mentoring.

The contemplative mood of Taureans will, however, soon translate into bold action, because the Earth-bound Taureans are practical people. After scrutinising the minutiae of their lives, Taureans will act fast to remedy the situation where the need so dictates.

Most Bulls have been rather happy with the way their lives are heading. But, there is a certain bitterness about some distant memories of oppression. And in early October they shall take bold steps to right all the wrongs of the past.

For Bulls, beefing up protection against psychosomatic illnesses, is one step towards improving the quality of their lives. Taureans can be hopeless hypochondriacs, especially when the chips are down. But, whether it is Cher, Shirley MacLaine or Queen Elizabeth II, Taurean women are resourceful creatures and Imhotep predicts that they will feel a heavy weight slip off their shoulders towards the middle of October. The Stars bode well.

You are the key player at the moment on any team, my dear Twins, as people born under the Mutable Air sign of Gemini (23 May-22 Jun) are sometimes called. This is the case even if your role does not get the recognition it deserves. Support the others and make sure everyone knows what they need to do to keep things moving.

You need to exercise and possibly defend your authority in the weeks ahead. It could be your prerogative to exercise your authority over your children, your fellow workers, or even your friends. But, one way or another, you should draw a line, and enforce it fiercely.

Don't look around for a sympathetic and understanding face. The weeks ahead are harsh, but strangely exhilarating. Geminians invariably give sexual matters their due. And, before they face the financial crunch, they will enjoy a memorable romantic escapade that could well launch a busy, brilliant season of impassioned exploits.

The Twins simply cannot live a reclusive existence. They lead hectic, action- filled lives -- just think of Clint Eastwood or Joan Collins, two typical Geminians. But, the Twins will be full of nervous energy in late October -- each twin pulling in the opposite direction. Also beware, dear Geminians, of emotional fatigue when your passion gets reckless. Heaven help you.

Next week, Imhotep promises, all zodiac signs are in for a big surprise
