Horoscopes

By Imhotep

Saying adieu is always difficult, my dear Rams, as people born under the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries (21 Mar-21 Apr) are sometimes called. Especially so when you face a turnabout. Be prepared to face a battle on the streets. Your new life has nothing to do with the old. Forget the past, look out for the future. Imhotep predicts new beginnings.

You are facing a choice that may prove to be quite a bit bigger and more complicated than you had thought at first, my dear Bulls, as people born under the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May) are sometimes called. Think hard before you choose. The good news is that the path you finally select will make your life a lot easier. The Stars favour you.

Time is of the essence, my dear Twins, as people born under the Mutable Air sign of Gemini (23 May-22 Jun) are sometimes called. Move fast and make up your mind as quick as you can. Ask a friend or family member to help you find lots of extra minutes among your hefty to-do list. Imhotep counsels patience and humility.

You are caught up in something big and new and rather inspiring, my dear Crabs, as people born under the Cardinal Water sign of Cancer (22 Jun-22 Jul) are sometimes called. War is a drug, avenge can be addictive. Take care not to be sucked into the tit- for-tat game. May the Stars grant you grace to face the forces of darkness.

Don't be afraid to move some money around fast, my dear Lions, as people born under the Fixed Fire sign of Leo (23 Jul-22 Aug) are sometimes called. But, that doesn't mean you can take impossible risks. Follow your instinct. There is too much fog in the air. It should clear, though. However, you can still move forward with confidence.

Once again, you have reached the point of diminishing returns, my dear Virgoans, as people born under the Mutable Earth sign of Virgo (23 Aug-22 Sep) are sometimes called. Don't you notice that you are getting next to nothing in return? Take heed. These are big questions. Now turn to your inner self for answers.

Now is the time to shuffle your activities a bit so that they are better balanced, my dear Scales, as people born under the Cardinal Air sign of Libra (23 Sep-23 Oct) are sometimes called. Mollycoddling your heart over a long- ago romantic wound isn't doing you any favours. Look forward to new beginnings. Some call you dreamy, but you know you are in touch with the real world.

You are a splendidly intuitive creature. Are you investing all your resources in a particular person or situation, my dear Eagles, as people born under the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio (24 Oct-23 Nov) are sometimes called? Don't be fooled by appearances. Don't be gullible. Sometimes, people who seem to be sweet and nice can actually be your worst enemies.

You know what you must do,even though you may not know why you know, my dear Centaurs, as people born under the Mutable Fire sign of Sagittarius(24 Nov- 23 Dec). Sometimes you say to yourself that you are an unlikely hero. Don't lose faith in your inner capabilities.

Your money situation is a little soft lately, my dear Sea Goats, as people born under the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn (22 Dec-22 Jan) are sometimes called. You have lost sight of your long-term financial goals. Take time this week to refocus your efforts. Study the situation hard. You will only improve your return. The Stars are on your side. Get unstuck and spend.

You have unconventional ideas about how to do things, my dear Water Bearers, as people born under the Fixed Air sign of Aquarius (23 Jan-19 Feb) are sometimes called. And, they do not conform with what people think of as the norm. The Stars will guide your efforts. Your family and friends will be of invaluable help. Imhotep knows you can tell what is best for you. Be strong the way you usually are.

Use that intuition you are so famous for, my dear Dolphins, as people born under the Mutable Water sign of Pisces (20 Feb-21 Mar) are sometimes called. Expressing your emotions has felt a little awkward this week. Divine guidance is needed. Say what is in your heart. Pay attention to the signs and symbolic significance of the nuances on faces of the people that matter.
