HOROSCOPE

JERALDINE SAUNDERS

CAPRICORN

Dec 22-Jan 19 You might be at your best when you can dive deeply into a fascinating subject. You may pressure yourself to make dreams come true. The most valuable gems are formed when put under extraordinary pressure.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20-Feb 18 Some expensive items may rivet your attention, but it’s best to ask yourself whether they will provide lasting service. Discuss major purchase decisions with your partner.

PISCES

Feb 19-Mar 20 Your capacity for understanding and compassion is as deep as the ocean. Your pockets, however, aren’t quite as deep. Put major purchases on the back burner until next week, when conditions for monetary decisions will be better.

ARIES

Mar 21-Apr 19 You might meet up with someone with a chip perched on his or her shoulder that gets in the way of trust. Look for new apps to handle financial obligations.

TAURUS

GEMINI

May 21-June 20 Your business acumen can be enhanced when you are exposed to the latest trends and progressive ideas. A partner could adopt a casual or overly optimistic attitude toward moneymaking activities that you can rein in.

CANCER

June 21-July 22 Regardless of your age, you still retain a childlike sense of wonder. You are never too old to wish upon a shooting star or to sit and listen to the birds sing their songs. Focus on serenity and ageless beauty.

LEO

July 23-Aug 22 You may pass an opportunity that isn’t right for you now to someone who can truly benefit from it. Use your intuition to help someone who doesn’t know how to ask for assistance.

VIRGO

Aug 23-Sept 22 If you share with another human being, you will receive more satisfaction than you give. Sharing material items and money is fine when it’s a requirement, but you can also share your knowledge, expertise or your time.

LIBRA

Sept 23-Oct 22 A kindly gesture might kick-start a new romantic attraction, but if you pursue it, the outcome could be unpredictable. Some people are better off remaining at arm’s length. A platonic relationship can be satisfying, too.

SCORPIO

Oct 23-Nov 21 Believing in things you can’t see or touch and don’t understand is often called faith. You might sense a connection with someone or intuitively understand the lay of the land when you are faced with a new set of circumstances.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 22-Dec 21 Goodwill or good luck might open doors that make your life easier. It’s possible that you will receive a business referral that meets your needs, or you could meet someone who offers enlightening and exciting information.

If today is your birthday:

You can gain valuable experience during the next three to four weeks by putting the lessons you’ve learned into practice. Anxious as you may be, allow plans to develop fully before setting them in motion. Hold off on financial manoeuvring in December, as you may not see the forest for the trees. It will be better to focus on vacation plans or spend time with a romantic partner so you can relax without risking your savings. New friends and group activities in January can be just what you need to encourage you to take your health and well-being more seriously. You might be offered an opportunity to improve your circumstances in February. Whatever steps you take to upgrade your lifestyle will have long-lasting benefits.
