Horoscopes

By Imhotep

Cut through the clutter, and choose your words carefully, dear Rams, as people born under the sign of Aries (21 Mar- 21 Apr) are sometimes called. The next few days are perfect for making decisions of the most serious kinds, especially those that affect your future in new and interesting ways. This week you are in a good position to explore your creative side.

Playing hooky with a friend can be lots of fun, dear Bulls, as people born under the sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May) are sometimes called. Try to discover new ways of expressing yourself to broaden your artistic horizons. You are almost certainly having a tough time communicating your affections, but you can loosen up and share your inner feelings more poetically.

Your energy is in perfect sync with your beloved ones, dear Twins, as people born under the sign of Gemini (23 May-22 Jun) are sometimes called. If you feel better about things generally that is just a fringe benefit. A romantic escapade is in the horizon. Two contrasting events dominate your thinking in the days ahead. Try not to be embroiled in a tricky situation.

These days your deep altruistic streak will determine your course of action, my dear Crabs, as people born under the Cardinal Water sign of Cancer (22 Jun-22 Jul) are sometimes called. Try your best to hold onto your sense of total reality, hard as it may be. Something big has shifted and you might have to adjust your thoughts and feelings in accordance with the new facts of life.

Set the pace of your own agenda, my dear Lions, as people born under the Fixed Fire sign of Leo (23 Jul-22 Aug) are sometimes called. This is a good week for you to quicken your pace and try to make sense of what is going on around you. Jump out of bed and attend to the business at hand. Don't focus on yourself. Put the onus on others.

It is not frivolous to daydream about the future, dear Virgoans, as people born under the sign of Virgo (23 Aug-22 Sep) are sometimes called. Imagine yourself with someone who loves you just the way you are. Stay positive and optimistic about important upcoming events. Remember that insightful observations are most often more fruitful than concrete, but rash action.

It can be hard to focus on your relationship goals with back-breaking work and extra- curricula activities, dear Scales, as people born under the sign of Libra (23 Sep-23 Oct) are sometimes called. There isn't much time for hugs, kisses, starry-eyed, nostalgic attitude. You should be able to make your people see that things need some shaking up. You are striving for justice.

You are working on something totally new this week, dear Eagles, as people born under the sign of Scorpio (24 Oct-23 Nov) are sometimes called. You will get wrong results if your mind is wandering in all different directions. Stay focussed on your goals. If you are serious about finding a new way of living, take time out of your busy schedule and set up dates.

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). Perseverance will pay off. This is a good time to take stock and decide what you want to do. You feel pretty great and you are able to bring about almost any change you want.

Curiosity kills the cat, dear Sea Goats, as people born under the sign of Capricorn (22 Dec-22 Jan) are sometimes called. But a lack of it will definitely murder your latest fling. If the person you are hanging out with doesn't bother to pick up a book or a newspaper and never talks about the deeper meanings of life, you are dealing with ennui at its worst.

After weeks of trying desperately to be good in the finance department and pretty much nailing it, dear Water Bearers, as people born under the sign of Aquarius (23 Jan-19 Feb) are sometimes called, you need to understand that you are not a particularly money-minded person. You need the extra-loving support of your dearest friends and family at this trying moment.

You are a construction worker, a builder, rather than a demolition man, or woman. Don't hesitate to ask for a little help to build your dream castle from those you have devoted your entire life to, dear Dolphins, as people born under the sign of Pisces (20 Feb-21 Mar) are sometimes called. You will soon discover that those you love are more than happy to oblige.
