HOROSCOPE

CAPRICORN

Dec 22-Jan 19 Maintain a calm façade even when your inside is in turmoil. Avoid being harsh when dealing with those in your care or charge. Look for solutions to problems that will benefit everyone.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20-Feb 18 Pack pot holders in your backpack if you intend to play with fire. A smouldering romantic relationship may need careful handling. New social contacts might guide you past roadblocks.

PISCES

Feb 19-Mar 20 Enhance your public image by using imaginative methods and fostering co-operation. People who value you for your true merit will champion your causes and be a source of strength.

ARIES

Mar 21-Apr 19 You may rub shoulders with co-workers or new contacts a bit too vigorously. Under these stars a mild flirtation could unleash unexpectedly deep passions as well as unnecessary criticism.

TAURUS

Apr 20-May 20 Stick to your guns and make sure that you finish the job. Distractions abound that may lure you away from achieving your most important goals. This isn’t a good time to begin new projects.

GEMINI

May 21-Jun 20 Be sceptical of first impressions because you may only see what you want to see. Make no excuses when things don’t go your way. Stay in the background and obtain additional information.

CANCER

Jun 21-Jul 22 Someone close may attempt to persuade you to participate in a purchase. There may be a hefty price tag attached that you cannot afford to pay. Hold off on making a financial decision.

LEO

July 23-Aug 22 Resist the temptation to act on a jealous thought or an unattractive obsessive desire. You may find yourself chasing the carrot and in doing so stray far from reaching an attainable goal.

VIRGO

Aug 23-Sept 22 Do not put all your eggs in one basket. An enticing financial situation may come your way that contains more risk than merit. A casual conversation can set you off on a safer and sounder path.

LIBRA

Sept 23-Oct 22 The New Moon in your sign today could illuminate what makes you tick. You may become acutely aware of outside pressures. Take a few days to reconsider before you make a major commitment.

SCORPIO

Oct 23-Nov 21 Money won’t solve a lack of harmony. You may not be on the same page as a special someone and there could be friction as a result. Don’t rock the boat as the problem will work itself out.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 22-Dec 21 Your enthusiasm has no end when you spot a trend. You have an affinity with the latest gadgets, gizmos, and widgets. Set aside additional time to explore something that attracts your interest.

If today is your birthday:

Your leadership skills may be obvious during the next six weeks, but social activities can distract you from the business of getting ahead in the real world. November might be a better month to focus on achieving financial success and physical health. Expect to have more social interactions or to party more than usual in December and January. That could be a perfect time to join a club or organisation. It is always good to dream but don’t get too caught up in daydreams during February and March. Wait until late April to make significant changes, decisions, or plans. That is when you will receive the most assistance and wisest advice from others.
