Horoscopes

By Imhotep

Moonlight is the time for riotous romance, dear Rams, as people born under the sign of Aries (21 Mar-21 Apr) are sometimes called. Cut through the clutter this week and focus on love. The next few days are perfect for making decisions of all kinds, especially those that affect your future in interesting and quixotic new ways. Affairs of the heart predominate.

Choose something new to do with your life even though it can be minor, dear Bulls, as people born under the sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May) are sometimes called. Out with the old and in with the new. The same goes for friendships. Only keep close those who you plan to spend time with. Don't over- extend relationships that no longer make sense.

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 your lifestyle in the days ahead. Put the onus on others. If you feel better about things generally that is just a fringe benefit.

You need to set the pace of your own agenda, my dear Crabs, as people born under the Cardinal Water sign of Cancer (22 Jun-22 Jul) are sometimes called. And it will go better for you if you are at least open to the very notion of transformation. This is the time your deep altruistic streak will determine your course of action. You determine the pace of change.

Enjoy this fantastic week whatever your budget is, my dear Lions, as people born under the Fixed Fire sign of Leo (23 Jul-22 Aug) are sometimes called. The hottest summer is upon us and you will beat the heat. The hotter the better. It is a good time of the year for you to slow down and try to make sense of what is really going on deep down.

Don't forget about sexual fulfilment. It is not frivolous to daydream about the perfect partner, 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 as you are. You could very well experience self-fulfilling prophecy. Stay positive and realistic about upcoming events.

Mark your calendar, dear Scales, as people born under the sign of Libra (23 Sep-23 Oct) are sometimes called, for it can be hard to focus on your relationship goals. With work and extra-curricula activities you are bound to win accolades. If you are serious about finding a mate, take time out of your busy schedule to be social and set up dates.

This summer is different, my dear Eagles, as people born under the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio (24 Oct-23 Nov) are sometimes called. It is the perfect life of your deepest desires. Passion, desire, and power go hand in hand for you. The biggest challenge and test is choosing between the power of love and the love of power.

Your energy is mostly directed inward though you can do pretty much anything you want with it, dear Centaurs, as people born under the 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.

Seeing is believing. Now is not the time to worry about others, dear Sea Goats, as people born under the sign of Capricorn (22 Dec-22 Jan) are sometimes called. Be as selfish as you want. 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.

You will see a profound change in your career path, my dear Water Bearers, as people born under the Fixed Air sign of Aquarius (23 Jan-19 Feb) are sometimes called. You will keep in touch with your classmates and your co- workers, though. Life is so complex right now but you will break it down into simple pieces. Take a break from work and live life to the fullest.

Lay it all out like a maestro. After weeks of trying desperately to be good in the finance department and pretty much nailing it, my dear Dolphins, as people born under the Mutable Water sign of Pisces (20 Feb-21 Mar) are sometimes called, you are finally in charge of the purse. You spend and you'll soon find your attire to be a perfect fit. Let the music play.
