Horoscopes

By Imhotep

Leave yourself an emergency exit just in case things burst into flames, dear Rams, as people born under the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries (21 Mar-21 Apr) are sometimes called. Poke around in the embers without throwing any gas on the fire. Imhotep predicts a delightful week ahead. The flames of passion engulf you and you shall soar to new pinnacles of ecstasy.

You have no idea what is going on socially right now, dear Bulls, as people born under the sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May) are sometimes called. The Stars will guide you this week. You need the assistance of family and friends. At any rate that might just be fine by you. Someone, however, is playing dirty games. Will you demand that they cut the bull?

Cupid's arrows are flying all over the place, my dear Twins, as people born under the Mutable Air sign of Gemini (23 May-22 Jun) are sometimes called. If you have hit a wall mentally it is time to bank on romance, and the Stars. Search deeper into your soul. You have a deep intuitive streak. Answers will come forth in abundance. Trust in good.

It is a good time to let the confusion suck you in, dear Crabs, as people born under the sign of Cancer (22 Jun-22 Jul) are sometimes called. You definitely attract interesting people this week, so Imhotep urges you to draw them close right away. You are better off confronting your confusions than ignoring them. The Stars will guide your every move.

A worsening of the financial turmoil must not unsettle you, my dear Lions, as people born under the Fixed Fire sign of Leo (23 Jul-22 Aug) are sometimes called. The Stars forecast relief and relaxation. Telling it like it is might prompt some honest dialogue. Things are pretty busy for you this week. However, don't forget that chores are not that hard to handle.

Sometimes it is less about what move you make, dear Virgoans, as people born under the sign of Virgo (23 Aug-22 Sep) are sometimes called, and more about setting something, anything in motion. Doubts throughout the week will change into self-confidence. Imhotep foresees that freedom, harmony and boundless bliss will unfold in the week ahead.

Your creative energy is running wild, dear Scales, as people born under the sign of Libra (23 Sep-23 Oct) are sometimes called. So make use of it to score a few new ideas, or fans. Things are getting more and more interesting, thanks to your frenetic energy. Even so, Divine intervention is now sorely needed. Nurture the spiritual side of yourself.

You could use up all your time spinning your wheels, my dear Eagles, as people born under the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio (24 Oct-23 Nov) are sometimes called. Be that as it may, someone may not be saying exactly what is on his or her mind. Listen to what they say. Listen attentively. Analyse their words. What they say has a hidden meaning.

A self-destructive streak seeps into your life, my dear Centaurs as people born under the Mutable Fire sign of Sagittarius (24 Nov-23 Dec). Stars will come to the rescue. You like to play fair. You instinctively prefer not to tread on others' toes. This week Centaurs will learn to let go of certain things they hold dear. Greener pastures lie across the mental divide.

Take it easy, and the truth will emerge as bright as daylight, dear Sea Goats, as people born under the sign of Capricorn (22 Dec-22 Jan) are sometimes called. And, clear your head and doodle or write stream of consciousness this week. The interpretation will emerge. Translate words into action. Learn to be a discerning interpreter. Decipher correctly.

Your foes are brazen and forthright, my dear Water Bearers, as people born under the Fixed Air sign of Aquarius (23 Jan-19 Feb) are sometimes called. Fight them with all your might. Don't spare any effort. But you prefer a quieter approach. Take several deep breaths when enemies get riled up. There is no need for you to join them in their melodramatic calisthenics.

Swimming with your crowd can be fun, dear Dolphins, as people born under the sign of Pisces (20 Feb-21 Mar) are sometimes called. You can sail along with the tide, too. Beware of jumping into the deep end, though. Your subconscious mind is aware of something that you really ought to know. The Stars will save you. You will do swimmingly.
