Horoscopes

By Imhotep

You keep the lid on it, my dear Rams, as people born under the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries (21 Mar-21 Apr) are sometimes called. That could be calling in sick or going on e-mail vacation. You need to avoid the temptation to speak out as something you say could cause problems.

You are making improvements, but your mind is all over the universe, my dear Bulls, as people born under the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May) are sometimes called. You know you deserve a break. Silence those who interfere in your personal affairs. Don't contemplate rude awakenings. 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.

Where others see roadblocks, my dear Crabs, as people born under the Cardinal Water sign of Cancer (22 Jun-22 Jul) are sometimes called, you find inspiration. This is a fabulous week for pleasant surprises and adventures. Act the part you deserve. You are the star performer so don't bother with the stagehands.

Let your imagination run wild. 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 bode well. The next few days promise peace and prosperity. Press on with your long-term plans and keep your cool.

See where looking for love in all the wrong places will get you, my dear Virgoans, as people born under the Mutable Earth sign of Virgo (23 Aug-22 Sep) are sometimes called. Count your blessings. Be grateful. Note that your destiny is in your own hands. Trust in yourself and your capabilities.

Whether you are riding high or lying low, my dear Scales, as people born under the Cardinal Air sign of Libra (23 Sep-23 Oct) are sometimes called, enjoy the crazy fluctuations. Think of the things you couldn't do in a frustrating relationship and do what pleases you. Tip the scales in your favour.

It is tough for you to deal with partnerships this week, my dear Eagles, as people born under the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio (24 Oct-23 Nov) are sometimes called. You can fall back on colleagues or old work buddies to get you through this week's weird mess. Cheer up.

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. Nothing necessitates urgent decisions this week. Watch your foes as they make their own miscalculations.

One minute you are ready to pass out, the next, you are bouncing off the walls, 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.

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. Seek your own self-fulfillment. To hell with all your worries and concerns. Take off. Don't turn yourself into a symbol of martyrdom.

You have floated in the stream of life for much too long, my dear Dolphins, as people born under the Mutable Water sign of Pisces (20 Feb-21 Mar) are sometimes called, accepting passively where it takes you. But now you've got to live with a purpose. Climb ashore and make radical changes.
