Horoscopes

By Imhotep

You can be a political hack of no small proportions, my dear Rams, as people born under the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries (21 Mar-21 Apr) are sometimes called. Be it office politics, domestic politics or just plain politics. You have got some assistance coming your way this week from an unusual source.

Slow down, my dear Bulls, as people born under the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May) are sometimes called. Give yourself time to relax and take it easy. You know you deserve a break. Do something crazy and fun. Silence those who meddle in your personal affairs. Cut the bull? Or will you cut them some slack?

If kids or clients are barking at you, my dear Twins, as people born under the Mutable Air sign of Gemini (23 May-22 Jun) are sometimes called, just throw them a bone and chill for a while. You can get back at them later. Beware of imbeciles, they can cause a great deal of trouble. Press on.

Let your imagination run wild, my dear Crabs, as people born under the Cardinal Water sign of Cancer (22 Jun-22 Jul) are sometimes called. You need little prompting. Try something new, get a good workout or go on a hot date. This is a fabulous week for pleasant surprises. Go on, live life to the fullest.

Someone will lend a hand, my dear Lions, as people born under the Fixed Fire sign of Leo (23 Jul-22 Aug) are sometimes called. The Stars will guide you on your soul-searching mission. On the work front, too, you need Divine intervention. Co-workers might interfere with your plans. When you are on, it shows and everyone else notices.

Your co-workers or immediate family members are far more helpful than usual even with tasks that you all hate equally, my dear Virgoans, as people born under the Mutable Earth sign of Virgo (23 Aug-22 Sep) are sometimes called. Heed their advice. Press on with your long-term plans and keep your life as stress-free as you can.

Jettison some romantic baggage, my dear Scales, as people born under the Cardinal Air sign of Libra (23 Sep-23 Oct) are sometimes called. And make room for spectacular new stuff. Try forgiving an ex, accepting yourself as you are and recognising all your innate beauty. Somebody else must be wearing your rose-tinted glasses.

Don't resist the approaches of a mysterious character, my dear Eagles, as people born under the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio (24 Oct-23 Nov) are sometimes called. Don't ask too many questions as this could be a long-term working relationship. Be patient and the Stars will emerge as bright as daylight.

It is easy to give significance to suffering. You, my dear Centaurs, as people born under the Mutable Fire sign of Sagittarius (24 Nov-23 Dec) are sometimes called, are on the warpath. Cool down, such tension is not warranted at all. Nothing necessitates urgent decisions. Watch your foes as they make their own calculations.

There is nothing like taking care of yourself to include the world in your energy, my dear Sea Goats, as people born under the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn (22 Dec-22 Jan) are sometimes called. Lingering doubts about a long-term project will crop up in a strange fashion this week. It is not a crisis yet, so don't worry.

Call in sick and take a weekend road trip, my dear Water Bearers, as people born under the Fixed Air sign of Aquarius (23 Jan-19 Feb) are sometimes called. Most of all, practise spontaneity. To hell with all your worries and concerns. Take off. Don't turn yourself into a symbol of martyrdom.

This is one of those weeks that seem to bring out the best in teams and groups, my dear Dolphins, as people born under the Mutable Water sign of Pisces (20 Feb-21 Mar) are sometimes called. Teamwork is the buzzword. Open up, such a positive attitude comes easily to Dolphins anyway. Stars smile on your efforts.
