HOROSCOPE

CAPRICORN

Dec 22-Jan 19 Keep your reactions to yourself. Refuse to be put in a position where you are at the mercy of knee-jerk reactions and automatic responses. Remain objective even if you feel that someone is insensitive or obstinate.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20-Feb 18 Imitate a snail’s pace and you won’t fail to win. It is much better to head for your objective with a steady effort than to make unplanned changes that could slow you down even further.

PISCES

Feb 19-Mar 20 Precision can bring you prestige, power and prosperity. Roll up the loose change lying on your dresser and take it to the bank. Your kindness may be appreciated on the job and make a lasting impression on the boss.

ARIES

Mar 21-Apr 19 Those in close connection may expect a level of perfection that simply isn’t feasible or blow minor problems out of proportion. Don’t dive into a new project or decision too quickly.

TAURUS

Apr 20-May 20 Your eyes may be open, yet you may not see. What you perceive might prove to be no more than a fantasy. This is not a good time to sign a contract as you might avoid reading the fine print.

GEMINI

May 21-June 20 You could be overly concerned with what’s wrong with something or someone when whatever is right should be the subject of concentration. Don’t let petty mistakes or errors take up too much of your time.

CANCER

June 21-July 22 You can’t solve problems by throwing money at them. Dwelling on the past or repeating previously unsuccessful tactics is counterproductive. Weak or tentative relationships could suffer a minor disagreement.

LEO

July 23-Aug 22 Do the right thing. You may experience a conflict between the desire to hoard the goodies and a generous instinct to share them with others. Don’t sign agreements or make a promise until you have resolved the issue.

VIRGO

Aug 23-Sept 22 Show appreciation. Family members or a partner may bend over backwards to please you. Avoid making impulsive purchases or changes to your budget or payment plan. Share key decisions with a wiser partner.

LIBRA

Sept 23-Oct 22 It isn’t wise to test the depth of the water with both feet. Your intuitions might fall short when you are caught in a precarious situation. The best way to avoid making mistakes is to avoid making irrevocable decisions.

SCORPIO

Oct 23-Nov 21 Remain objective and make your own decisions. Problems in paradise could erupt if partners handle the steering wheel. Other people in your life may not have all the facts that are needed or could be gullible.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 22-Dec 21 Ride it out. Dissatisfaction with your financial condition or some extra bills could tempt you to make unnecessary changes to your budget or payment schedule. Focus on a happy home and making your family proud.

If today is your birthday:

For the next two weeks you might seem overconfident and this can spoil your chances to curry favour and assistance from others. Strive to be a team player and once people realise you are willing to co-operate they will include you in their circle. Gather valuable experience in October as it will act as a stepping stone to reach your ambitions. Your innate shrewdness will prevent you from being too gullible in business, but the same may not be said for your love life. Late December or early January might be a good time for a romantic fling. Embrace offers and opportunities that come your way in January. Past indiscretions or mistakes could hold you back in February.
