HOROSCOPE

CAPRICORN

Dec 22-Jan 19 You might take pride in your ability to make executive decisions or to control the results, but you will win out in the end by being humble. Focus on perfecting your techniques.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20-Feb 18 You might learn that what seems to be a financially shrewd purchase is not necessarily an emotionally satisfying and wise purchase. Hold off on making major investments.

PISCES

Feb 19-March 20 You could miss the silver lining if you are too intent on finding gold. It is not possible to capitalize on a relationship. You will be happiest when you share your possessions than when you keep them to yourself.

ARIES

March 21-April 19 Accept whatever comes your way with open arms. The people who offer support or advice may do so from the goodness of their hearts. Find a bargain on a lovely decorator item.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20 Positive thinking allows you to do things that negative thinking won’t. Listen to a partner or friend who will gently encourage you to display your best qualities. You may receive recognition for your achievements.

GEMINI

May 21-June 20 Learn something on the job or something that will help you do a better job. The knowledge you absorb could become a key that unlocks your future prosperity and contentment.

CANCER

June 21-July 22 Free yourself from habitual conditioning. You might be bogged down by the tendency to cling possessively to people and things as well as habits. This could be a good time to cut yourself loose from some chains.

LEO

July 23-Aug 22 You can be nifty about being thrifty. You may be avid about “getting ahead” but frustrated that you must wait for things to unfold over time. You are at your best when making shrewd decisions about your job or finances.

VIRGO

Aug 23-Sept 22 Contentment with what you have prevents you from overspending on extravagant items. This is a good time to focus on things that reflect good taste and lasting intrinsic value.

LIBRA

Sept 23-Oct 22 Taking calculating steps can be counterproductive. If you wish to retain your social standing you must appear sincere rather than crafty. You may engender interest by giving key presentations or speaking to the public.

SCORPIO

Oct 23-Nov 21 Your creativity could be spurred on by viewing works of art or immersing yourself in beautiful surroundings. This is an excellent time to exercise some good taste and discrimination.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 22-Dec 21 You will have better results if you focus on social interactions than on transactions. Put business ideas on the back burner for the next several days. This could be a good time to address a creative project.

If today is your birthday:

You can make headway in business matters during the next 10 weeks because you are passionate about success. You are willing to roll up your shirtsleeves and burn the midnight oil to accomplish your dreams. In late July your judgement could be out of kilter, so focus on making money and a reputation through work. In September, however, your finger is on the pulse of the financial world, so you will be able to make astute decisions. You can be misled or fooled in December, so wait until January or early February, when your judgment is at its best to make major changes. You might even receive an opportunity to improve your life on some level.
