HOROSCOPE

CAPRICORN

Dec 22-Jan 19 You can spot a bargain a mile away. Your smart shopping sense comes into play today as you can easily find the best value for your buck. Share your special feelings with a loved one.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20-Feb 18 Go with your first impression. Today you can accurately gauge new acquaintances to the point where you should have a clear idea of whom to trust. A romantic interest may be enthralled by your wit and charm.

PISCES

Feb 19-Mar 20 Not every idea is a good one. Run your latest plan by a friend or colleague who will be honest about your prospects for success. Try to devote more of your time to doing rather than thinking.

ARIES

Mar 21-Apr 19 Calculate the odds carefully and don’t take unnecessary risks. A gamble could net you a few gains, but you could lose a great deal more. If you feel that someone is sending you romantic signals, you may be correct.

TAURUS

Apr 20-May 20 Bask in the limelight. You may find yourself to be the centre of attention as the public eye turns its gaze upon you. If you intuitively feel the time is right, make your sales pitch while ears are listening.

GEMINI

May 21-June 20 Little things can add up to a lot. Pennies spent on daily luxuries may seem insignificant, but over time the pennies can become serious dollars. Making small sacrifices can help improve your cash flow.

CANCER

June 21-July 22 Take your time and take pride in everything you do. Rushing through tasks in order to get as much done as possible can result in less-than-satisfying outcomes. Slow down and give each job the attention it deserves.

LEO

July 23-Aug 22 Love conquers all. An unexpected opportunity with a significant other or a new romantic prospect could make your love life a priority today. Business and responsibilities may need to wait while you enjoy some amour.

VIRGO

Aug 23-Sept 22 No one can argue with a fair deal. Negotiations will be a snap if you treat all parties equitably and honestly. Today you can accurately read your competition and find just the right places to make compromises.

LIBRA

Sept 23-Oct 22 Don’t paint yourself into a corner. Politely dodge the issue if someone tries to pressure you into making a choice you just aren’t ready to make. Increasing your workload could create pressure.

SCORPIO

Oct 23-Nov 21 Keep the home fires burning. You’ll be most comfortable and at peace today when dealing with issues that revolve around home and family. A happy household will help improve every other aspect of your life.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 22-Dec 21 Plans do not need to be etched in stone. Don’t be so committed to doing something a certain way that you don’t listen to someone else’s better idea. Tackle problems as a team rather than “everybody for themselves”.

If today is your birthday:

You may think the sky is the limit as the upcoming four to five weeks unfold. Your optimism about the future and a heightened ability to visualise the results of your actions makes this an excellent time to lay out plans, put ideas into action or make key changes. Grab any offer or opportunity for advancement that comes your way in early September, as it can bring unexpected benefits. Your business acumen is at a peak in late September and early October, making that an ideal time to re-evaluate your finances or business plans. Ambition can be a harsh taskmaster and might take precedence in late October and early November, when hard work and attention to responsibilities is a necessity.
