Horoscopes

By Imhotep

Cupid's arrows are flying all over the place, my dear Rams, as people born under the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries (21 Mar-21 Apr) are sometimes called. And, the tips are aflame. Imhotep knows that your world is afire. However, leave yourself an emergency exit just in case things burst into flames. Poke around in the embers without throwing any gas on the fire.

The New Year nears and you are in an exceptionally excited emotional state, my dear Bulls, as people born under the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus (22 Apr- 22 May) are sometimes called.

Sometimes it is less about what move you make, my dear Virgoans, as people born under the Mutable Earth 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 confidence. Trust in yourself. Freedom, harmony and boundless bliss will unfold in the week ahead.

You could use up all your time spinning your wheels, my dear Scales, as people born under the Cardinal Air 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. Only with the assistance of the Stars can you gauge the implications.

Your creative energy is running wild, my dear Eagles, as people born under the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio (24 Oct-23 Nov) are sometimes called. You want people around you to be frank and honest. Be that as it may, someone may not be saying exactly what is on his or her mind, and this drives you mad. Hold your tongue, though.

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) are sometimes called. 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. Divine inter

The New Year is full of promise, and the truth will emerge as bright as daylight, my dear Sea Goats, as people born under the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn (22 Dec-22 Jan) are sometimes called. And, clear your head this week. Rush towards the New Year with enthusiasm, for you must prove to be fleet of foot in the face of fantastic opportunities.

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. But you prefer a quieter approach. Take heart. Take several deep breaths when enemies get riled up. Ignore the malicious glee. There is no need for you to join your adversaries in their melodramatic calisthenics.

Swimming with your crowd can be fun, my dear Dolphins, as people born under the Mutable Water sign of Pisces (20 Feb-21 Mar) are sometimes called. You can sail along with the tide, too. Your subconscious mind is aware of something that you really ought to know. The New Year will add extra spice to your life. You will do swimmingly.
