HOROSCOPE

CAPRICORN

Dec 22-Jan 19 Being honest could be cruel. Sometimes telling someone the truth is hurtful. It may be better to colour the facts a little to spare their feelings. Offer whatever aid and support you can to a friend in need.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20-Feb 18 Doubts or reservations could create calamity when definitive and authoritative action is required. Seek out friends or loved ones who will provide support to give you the confidence you need.

PISCES

Feb 19-Mar 20 You may be labouring over a difficult task. Stay at it and rest assured things will gradually become easier. Decide whether someone is worthy of your charity or just looking for a handout.

ARIES

Mar 21-Apr 19 Hold off on purchasing items that capture your fancy as the lustre may wear off in a day or two. You may find yourself in a hostile environment if you make a sales pitch to an unwilling audience.

TAURUS

Apr 20-May 20 Focus on work and save the tweets and texts for your own time. You never know when big brother may be watching. An admirable performance makes you the centre of attention.

GEMINI

May 21-June 20 Some dreams should remain in your head. An idea may seem revolutionary at first but when you crunch the numbers you’ll find that it just isn’t practical. Do what is expected but avoid starting any new tasks.

CANCER

June 21-July 22 Open your umbrella to stay out of the rain. Others may be wrapped up in their own conflicts and turmoil, so you might better off doing your own thing in the background. Romantic pursuits may not go as planned.

LEO

July 23-Aug 22 The ends may not justify the means. You might find that the easiest way to achieve an objective is by being cut-throat and ruthless but that could cost you a great deal of respect. Think about what is important and proceed accordingly.

VIRGO

Aug 23-Sept 22 Read the fine print. Don’t enter an agreement or sign a deal without first making sure that you have thoroughly gone over all the details. Doing a favour for a friend or loved one may entail more than anticipated.

LIBRA

Sept 23-Oct 22 The road less-travelled may be avoided for a good reason. Taking shortcuts to save time may waste more time than is worth your while. Someone new may capture your fancy but proceed slowly to see if the feeling lasts.

SCORPIO

Oct 23-Nov 21 Enjoy some free time and catch your breath but avoid starting new relationships or projects. You may be at your best when acting spontaneously with generous acts.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 22-Dec 21 You can make great strides in your career if you buckle down and shut out unnecessary distractions. Be sure that you are adequately prepared before starting initiatives or making presentations.
