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. And, this week will be about a lot more than just you and your friends. Indeed, you will resceive assistance 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. Family and close friends will both be sympathetic and deeply critical. Silence those who meddle in your personal affairs, especially the beloved ones. 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. Watch out for soft-spoken acquaintances who tough appraisals of your performance.

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. Creative Crabs do not shy away from the horrors of confrontation. 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 and be both bold and beautiful.

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 promise fame and fortune. Imhotep understands that you feel uncomfortable in the public gaze and need help. On the work front, too, you need Divine intervention. God help you.

Your passing moods, my dear Virgoans, as people born under the Mutable Earth sign of Virgo (23 Aug-22 Sep) are sometimes called, are synchronised to those closest and dearest to you. Heed their advice. A Virgoan in melancholy mood can be nightmarishly nasty. Pessimism is never far away. Don't drown your beloved ones in the deepest depths of depression.

Tip the scales in your favour by embracing singledom this week, my dear Scales, as people born under the Cardinal Air sign of Libra (23 Sep-23 Oct) are sometimes called. Think of all the things you couldn't do in a relationship. Seek the help of close friends. You hesitate to claim a starring role in life's dramatic theatre.

You have such control of imagery, so 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.

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. Sea Goats will prove to be so indispensable that friends will ask them to take the reins.

Doting relatives will be as irritating as ever this week. 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. Practise spontaneity. To hell with all your worries and concerns. Take off. Don't turn yourself into a symbol of martyrdom. Be the best that you can possibly be.

Avoid lingering illnesses caused by lingering depressions. 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. Seek sunlight and laugh at the rain to stay healthy. Teamwork is the buzzword.
