Horoscopes

By Imhotep

Saying adieu is always difficult, dear Rams, as people born under the sign of Aries (21 Mar-21 Apr) are sometimes called. Pay attention instead to the underlying subtext of any situation. Be prepared to face a battle on the streets. Your new life has nothing to do with the old. Imhotep predicts new beginnings. A fresh outlook awaits you around this week.

You are facing a choice that may prove to be quite a bit bigger and more complicated than you had thought at first,dear Bulls, as people born under the 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, so take full advantage.

Your amazing internal energy makes you even more entertaining than usual, dear Twins, as people born under the sign of Gemini (23 May-22 Jun) are sometimes called. Try to tap into that energy and try not to collide with one particular foe. Time is of the essence, so pick a time when you can deal squarely with your enemy. Imhotep counsels patience and humility.

You are caught up in something big and new and rather inspiring, dear Crabs, as people born under the 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 and fight the forces of darkness. Imhotep foresees euphoria galore this week.

Where others see roadblocks, you find inspiration. Don't be afraid to move some money around fast, dear Lions, as people born under the 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.

Once again, you have reached the point of diminishing returns, dear Virgoans, as people born under the 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. Imhotep foretells a sublime experience or encounter in the days ahead.

Now is the time to shuffle your activities a bit, dear Scales, as people born under the 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, dear Eagles, as people born under the sign of Scorpio (24 Oct-23 Nov) are sometimes called? Don't be fooled by appearances. Sometimes, people who seem to be sweet and nice can actually be your worst enemies, and that includes yourself.

Let go of anything negative that is holding you back, even though you may not know why you know, dear Centaurs, as people born under the sign of Sagittarius (24 Nov-23 Dec) are sometimes called. Sometimes you say to yourself that you are an unlikely hero. Don't lose faith in you inner capabilities. The days ahead promise lots of inspiration and inner satisfaction.

Your money situation is a little soft lately, dear Sea Goats, as people born under the 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 this week. Get unstuck and spend.

You have unconventional ideas about how to do things, dear Water Bearers, as people born under the sign of Aquarius (23 Jan-19 Feb) are sometimes called. They do not conform to 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.

Face reality. Use that intuition you are so famous for, dear Dolphins, as people born under the sign of Pisces (20 Feb-21 Mar) are sometimes called. Expressing your emotions has felt a little awkward this week. Divine guidance is needed. Don't you want to speak your mind? Pay attention to the signs and symbolic significance of the nuances on faces of the people that matter.
