HOROSCOPE

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 19 You may feel an intense desire for togetherness that could sweep you off your feet. Your passions could be turned on high this evening, so let your partner know you’re in the mood for love.

AQUARIUS Jan 20-Feb 18 Your comfort zone might lie within your own four walls. Family get-togethers over the dinner table can be more appealing than a night out on the town. Enjoy quality time in a cozy setting with a like-minded partner.

PISCES Feb 19-Mar 20 A phone call or text message can get the ball rolling if you find yourself at loose ends tonight. There is no need to play hard to get because a romantic partner is merely waiting for a cue from you to make a move.

ARIES Mar 21-Apr 19 Good communication skills could give you an added dose of self-confidence. With some work-related projects you might adopt a more haphazard approach to completion, but when you are in study mode you employ a high degree of accuracy.

TAURUS Apr 20-May 20 You always want to be generous and get the bill when you can. Sometimes you get the bill when you can’t. Remember that it’s OK to graciously allow someone else to pay. You may find it’s good for you and for them.

GEMINI May 21-June 20 Boisterous companions might push your buttons and challenge your patience. Using strict logic when discussing plans with a partner could cause them to concede without actually agreeing. If you want true agreement, listen.

CANCER June 21-July 22 Enjoy goodwill and good vibes at the workplace and an upswing in your romantic ardour when you get home. A loved one could be more loving and passionate than usual, making your evening take a turn for the better.

LEO July 23-Aug 22 Having plenty of friends at your beck and call might make you feel happy. If you notice one of your buddies bringing out your competitive side with regard to possessions, smile and let it go. Possessions aren’t everything.

VIRGO Aug 23-Sept 22 Love may begin with an image in the mind, but a few sweet words at the right time could win someone’s affections. You may be tempted to show off your status by buying a few new things, but it isn’t necessary.

LIBRA Sept 23-Oct 22 Someone could turn vague, intellectual ideas into concrete, actionable items that you stop to consider and become excited about. An unexpected romantic glance could lead to a game of romantic trivial pursuit. Focus on group dynamics.

SCORPIO Oct 23-Nov 21 You may experience a few hours when brain and emotions are in perfect equilibrium. Use your head to make sensible, practical and intelligent decisions, and use your heart to make someone feel loved and valued.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 22-Dec 21 Keeping your face in the public eye by updating your social media account or making appearances at business functions could prove advantageous. Maybe you need a more recent photo on your website or a chic new briefcase.

If today is your birthday:

You may be at your best and find your comfort level as a member of a group that gathers for altruistic purposes while the next two to three weeks unfold. Build a network of reliable contacts and enjoy more social outings at the same time. Your energy levels are on the rise in early November, making this an excellent time to begin an exercise programme or to handle competitors. A vacation or weekend trip in December might fulfil a fantasy and uplift your spirits. January is the worst time to make crucial decisions such as taking out a loan or making investments, because you may experience unforeseen complications. Those in charge could scrutinise your work, so polish it up before presenting it. Things improve in April.
