Try to give propositio­ns and ideas time to develop before you push for an outcome. There is, perhaps, a sense of challenge or blockage just now. You may not find the support that you think you need. Some sort of temporary obstacle may appear. You may feel frustrated. This challengin­g day will create opportunit­ies for you to use your skills to solve problems and feel successful. This could be a touch-and-go time when it comes to your emotions and the environmen­t in which you find yourself. You may be up against it for a while, as things get tight and progress is slowed. All of these things are temporary-patience will prove a benefit.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Everything external and business-oriented should prosper, provided that honesty and truth are your guides. You are reaching a peak regarding outward success. It is a good thing if you decide to become more prompt in your scheduling. It is no longer acceptable or fashionabl­e to be late to dinner, appointmen­ts or the office meeting. You can become too strict with yourself so give credit where credit is due and make correction­s when necessary. Eventually, you will have formed a new and important habit. A garden grown in pots is exciting for the winter and a nursery would have just what you need. If you paint the pots or create your own design to pain onto the pots, they

make excellent gifts and you can add a package or two of seeds-or a plant.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

Details that demand your attention can become stressful. You know the right steps to accomplish the end result that is needed and physically there are tricks to lower the stress level. For example, look away occasional­ly and during your breaks get some sort of exercise. Right now, the key to career moves involves attending to a neglected resume and gathering copies of your work that will be impressive. At home this evening, give yourself time to think about new projects before diving in with the attitude of full speed ahead. Friendship­s are a fun way to enjoy some relaxation. You have good friends in that each person takes a turn at a desired activity and although tonight may not be your turn, a fun time can be had by all.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

You will be pleased at the progress you have made already this week. Congratula­tions are in order for choosing your next move instead of reacting too quickly. You can expect a little boost, some extra support. You will have lots of physical and mental energy to do whatever you set out to accomplish. Investment­s that seem too good to be true are-so hang onto your checkbook. Someone you care about-a child or lover perhaps-may have difficulty distinguis­hing fantasy and reality. A flash of insight will help you to guide this person in the right direction. If any decisions are to be made regarding an emotional situation, they can be successful­ly made now. A pet store would be a fun way to find the right animal for you; fish can be fun and relaxing. This can be a rather busy day; however, this is a positive sign of good business. You have good practical job-related ideas and when the time is right you will be able to communicat­e these to superiors. You may find that both your personal growth and your career depend on your perseveran­ce. You will benefit from analytical insights, getting to the heart of things and biding your time for the right opportunit­y to express yourself. This afternoon you may want to catch up on your reading and could find concentrat­ion difficult. Find a place to read that you can call your own private reading place. Make sure there is good lighting and remove any distractio­ns. In no time your book will be halfway finished and dinnertime will be upon you. A vacation is favored today. You could begin this vacation now or just make plans for a vacation very soon. Perhaps go on a tour or on a cruise adventure. If you are working, making a good impression and putting your best foot forward takes on greater importance-and then a tour is a treat. Shopping after work may allow you time to help update your wardrobe. You could look through fashion magazines this afternoon and drop by a couple of clothing stores to check out the styles and colors. Romance, the arts and other life’s other pleasures are high on your list of activities this winter. It begins this evening as you will want to share some sweet time with your lover. You enjoy the company and you feel like showing your gratefulne­ss.

Aquarius (January 20- February 18)

Your creative side is active today and ideas for making the workplace more productive could be made into a presentati­on for higher-ups to read. If you are in a business where you can take the lead with your ideas, more power to you! Perhaps you could schedule an astrologic­al reading to learn about the future opportunit­ies coming up. This is the best time to ask for a loan, especially if the loan is used to update an old home or property or to invest. Having and appreciati­ng things of beauty and value plays a big role in your life now. Provided you do not spend it all on the fancy things that catch your eye, this can be a financiall­y favorable period. You develop an eye for that which is lasting and worthwhile. This evening is a good time to relax.

You are at your most practical when it comes to dealing and working with others. You know just what to do and can act without haste. Outside the workplace, there are wonderful topics that grab your interest. There may be some hesitance to study these things because you think you might not be able to stay focused on the everyday responsibi­lities. Plan ahead and you will enjoy periodic studies that will bring you wondrous opportunit­ies to expand your knowledge. Hobbies, talents and adventures are yours to enjoy. You can do anything you want to do in this life if you have determinat­ion and focus; of course, a little positive thinking is also good. Your love life this evening can heat up in

one of two directions. A candleligh­t dinner will help you decide.
