Horoscopes

By Imhotep

Style sometimes comes before substance in this world, my dear Rams, as people born under the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries (21 Mar-21 Apr) are sometimes called. But, you are searching for something profound. Image-conscious characters are constantly faking it, while bleating about doing something meaningful.

An uplifting week ahead of you, my dear Bulls, as people born under the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May) are sometimes called. Two contrasting events dominate your thinking this week. You might procrastinate over a prickly matter, but be bullish. The Stars are on your side, Imhotep assures you.

It is hard to find a fresh path when the chips are down, my dear Twins, as people born under the Mutable Air sign of Gemini (23 May-22 Jun) are sometimes called. Take heart, press on. This is a time for new beginnings, and surprises in store for you make it all the more exciting.

Sometimes it is less about what move you make, my dear Crabs, as people born under the Cardinal Water sign of Cancer (22 Jun- 22 Jul) are sometimes called. And, more about setting something, anything in motion. Something is going on and you can just tell. The parties involved are not prepared to spill the beans right now.

Your personal interactions, my dear Lions, as people born under the Fixed Fire sign of Leo (23 Jul-22 Aug) are sometimes called, require a little extra finesse across the board -- be they romantic, platonic, or wok-related. Flitting around on eight or nine tasks will just drain your energy, so direct those talents of yours wisely.

If you find yourself in a mental fog, my dear Virgoans, as people born under the Mutable Earth sign of Virgo (23 Aug-22 Sep) are sometimes called, you can either laze about and enjoy the haze, or get moving and do something to clear it up. The former approach is more conducive to daydreaming, the latter, to actual action.

This is a week for taking liberties, my dear Scales, as people born under the Cardinal Air sign of Libra (23 Sep-23 Oct) are sometimes called. It is crude, lewd and rude, but the adventures in the days ahead for Scales can be exceptionally hilarious especially for those with sophisticated tastes. Savour every moment.

A once in a lifetime connection is now possible, my dear Eagles, as people born under the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio (24 Oct-23 Nov) are sometimes called. But, you must open up. Speak up. That may be tough in the days ahead. Remember there is a divine lesson in all this.

Talking about matters of the heart require extra tact and extra delicacy now, my dear Centaurs as people born under the Mutable Fire sign of Sagittarius (24 Nov-23 Dec). Think carefully about what you want to tell and what you want to keep to yourself, at least for the time being.

Sometimes the hardest part about working for a goal is learning when to be hands off, my dear Sea Goats as people born under the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn (22 Dec- 22 Jan) are sometimes called. No matter how much you want to stick your nose into other people's opinions, let your work speak for itself.

You have agreed to take on a particularly onerous project -- one you would never consider under any circumstance, my dear Water Bearers, as people born under the Fixed Air sign of Aquarius (23 Jan-19 Feb) are sometimes called. But, you are yearning for the attention of someone special. Imhotep predicts that you will find other ways of self-fulfillment.

The Stars add even more grandeur to your already great momentum, my dear Dolphins, as people born under the Mutable Water sign of Pisces (20 Feb-21 Mar) are sometimes called. With your skills and some hard work, there is really nothing you cannot do. Cosmic inspiration is all around you. Reach for the Stars.
