HOROSCOPE

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 19 You might be inspired by a friend or someone’s friendliness to do something worthwhile. Write down your ideas so that they can inspire you again when you have more time. AQUARIUS Jan 20-Feb 18 Rather than gambling with resources, look for the safest and surest thing. Friends and co-workers could distract you but teach you something at the same time. PISCES Feb 19-March 20 A millilitre of prevention is worth a litre of cure. Head off problems before they occur by offering a compromise or an apology. Be honest about your limitations and only make promises you are sure you can fulfil. ARIES March 21-April 19 A preference for perfection is a powerful policy. Polish the resume, balance the chequebook, take the car in for an oil change, or clear your desk. Regular maintenance and organisation keeps things running smoothly. TAURUS April 20-May 20 Display a friendly smile to gain a friend. You’re adept at business strategies today, so do your best to win friends and influence others. You might discover a lifelong friend or ally lurking in a group meeting. GEMINI May 21-June 20 Authentic friendships are far and few between. There may be a friend, a goal, or an idea that you feel you have outgrown. You won’t be at peace with your conscience if you sacrifice a friendship in order to make a few dollars. CANCER June 21-July 22 Exercise the mind as well as the body. Stretch a little further than you think possible and don’t be afraid to contemplate becoming a success in your career or business. Friends might help behind the scenes. LEO July 23-Aug 22 The pursuit of prosperity may be your pet pastime. You have a flair for financial manoeuvring, but won’t want everyone to know that your main goal is to make money. Make an effort to maintain friendships as well. VIRGO Aug 23-Sept 22 Your good taste and sense of style can put you at the forefront of a fashion parade. People may value your advice and knowledge. This is a good time to speak to others in group setting or to make some new connections. LIBRA Sept 23-Oct 22 Good athletes know that it is wise to warm up before participating in a sprint or a race. Put some muscle into making certain things a bit better in some way and you will be glad you did. SCORPIO Oct 23-Nov 21 Anything you can dream of doing is probably entirely possible. Allow your mind to work faithfully in the background unencumbered by negativity. SAGITTARIUS Nov 22-Dec 21 Just because you are invited to make a comment doesn’t mean you should offer an opinion. Don’t be distracted by friends or social affairs when there is a deadline to meet. Get all your ducks in a row during the upcoming six to eight weeks while you feel energetic and are capable of executive decisions. You can develop a great support system in October by participating in organisations, clubs, or group activities. In the last half of October and early November your wishes could come true or an unexpected opportunity could open the doors to a much more pleasant lifestyle. Your judgment will be at its best, so this is an ideal time to set crucial plans into motion or to make a key commitment. Don’t make crucial decisions or start anything of importance in the second half of November when your gullibility is at a high point. Wait until February to make investment or career changes.
