Horoscopes

By Imhotep

Choose something new to do with your life even though it can be minor, my dear Rams, as people born under the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries (21 Mar-21 Apr) are sometimes called. The next few days are perfect for making decisions of all kinds, especially those that affect your future in interesting new ways. The good side of all this is that your self-esteem will soar.

This week cut through the clutter, my dear Bulls, as people born under the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May) are sometimes called. Out with the old and in with the new. Get rid of anything broken or useless. Only keep close those who you plan to spend time with. Don't over-extend relationships that no longer make sense. Imhotep counsels caution.

You need to workout some of this restless energy in selfless projects that help friends, family or the community, my dear Twins, as people born under the Mutable Air sign of Gemini (23 May-22 Jun) are sometimes called. Do not focus too much on yourself in the days ahead. Put the onus on others. If you feel better about things generally that is just a fringe benefit.

It is not frivolous to daydream about the future, my dear Virgoans, as people born under the Mutable Earth sign of Virgo (23 Aug-22 Sep) are sometimes called. Visualise yourself with someone who loves you as you are. And, you could very well experience a self-fulfilling prophecy. Stay positive and realistic about upcoming events. You will be a magnet for affection.

With work and extra-curricula activities, my dear Scales, as people born under the Cardinal Air sign of Libra (23 Sep- 23 Oct) are sometimes called, it can be hard to focus on your relationship goals. If you are serious about finding a mate, take time out of your busy schedule to be social and set up dates. Perseverance will pay off. The Stars will guide your every move.

Better keep some tissues handy. Do you remember that tingly feeling you get when you look that certain person in the eye, my dear Eagles, as people born under the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio (24 Oct-23 Nov) are sometimes called? Nostalgia, they call it. It can be a good thing, though. Don't be scared or disturbed. This could be a delightfully different experience.

Your energy is mostly directed inward though you can do pretty much anything you want with it, my dear Centaurs, as people born under the Mutable Fire sign of Sagittarius (24 Nov-23 Dec) are sometimes called. It may be a good time to take stock and decide what you want to hang on to. You feel pretty great and you are able to bring about almost any change you want.

Now is not the time to worry about others, my dear Sea Goats, as people born under the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn (22 Dec-22 Jan) are sometimes called. However, your kind nature will prevail. It may be formal volunteering work or just making a decision that ripples through the community. Believe in your capabilities, for they are legion.

After weeks of trying desperately to be good in the finance department and pretty much nailing it, my dear Water Bearers, as people born under the Fixed Air sign of Aquarius (23 Jan-19 Feb) are sometimes called, you will have yet another challenge coming your way. This is a most trying time ahead of you. Better hide the cheque book and plastic money. Yes, from yourself.

You will be asked to offer advice and comfort to a dear one, my dear Dolphins, as people born under the Mutable Water sign of Pisces (20 Feb-21 Mar) are sometimes called. And, while you were born perfectly equipped for the job at the moment you will even be better at it. Do not be surprised if you develop a following. You are a natural-born leader.
