HOROSCOPE

CAPRICORN

Dec 22-Jan 19 If you see something that needs attention, it’s better to take action than sit around and wait for someone else to do the work. Don’t feel slighted if you don’t receive the recognition you think you deserve.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20-Feb 18 Family activities could provide happy memories as well as an ideal testing ground for your latest ideas. Don’t waste resources trying to impress your friends or co-workers. They may be less open to your great inspirations than you’d like.

PISCES

Feb 19-Mar 20 Learn to manage the mirage. Perhaps someone thinks your home is attractive or that you often host glamorous gatherings. You know, however, that keeping up appearances requires a lot of work and forethought.

ARIES

Mar 21-Apr 19 If you guessed the toss of a coin correctly, don’t let it lead you to think you’re on a winning streak. If you lose, don’t be too upset since you understood the risks before you started. Gamble no more than you can afford to lose.

TAURUS

Apr 20-May 20 Modern techniques might become easy for you. Now that you have mastered a subject, it might be time to use it for your benefit. Positive thinking can help you bulldoze your way past obstructions to your success.

GEMINI

May 21-June 20 You won’t become confused if you stick to the facts. Friends may involve you in a frenzy of activities where their inner fantasies are a major subject, but your interests are best served by remaining calm and working hard.

CANCER

June 21-July 22 Elevate your standards. You can become engrossed in personal concerns or make astute decisions about financial matters. A supportive partner might offer the enthusiasm to boost your spirits and achieve your goals.

LEO

July 23-Aug 22 Be specific and scientific and people will think you are terrific. Your top-notch performance and unyielding work ethic will be noticed even if no one says a word. Keep up the good work to achieve prominence in your field.

VIRGO

Aug 23-Sept 22 The bell has already rung, but you still hear the echo and reverberations. There might be some consequences to your actions after you think the job is done. Your mind is like a steel trap, so think things through.

LIBRA

Sept 23-Oct 22 Be true to yourself. You might be more focused on money-making than usual, but don’t offer assurances to others based on wishful thinking. Your best bet is to spend more time building a wider online social network.

SCORPIO

Oct 23-Nov 21 You may think you’re too lucky to fail or can afford to lose. That may be true, but don’t be extravagant or take undue risks. A loved one or partner may play a pivotal role in keeping you on track and discreet.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 22-Dec 21 Multitasking can get things done faster. Cleaning the oven isn’t exciting, but it’s one of those routine tasks that someone must do. Spray on the cleaner and do something else while it does most of the work for you.

If today is your birthday:

Your business prowess and ability to negotiate better terms is at a low point during the next three to four weeks. You may be distracted and ignore something more important than career and money. July is a better time to make financial decisions or put career plans into motion. That is the best time to make a judgement call about people or projects because you will be wiser than usual. In late October and early November, you can call on people who have your best interests at heart for favours, assistance or advice. People who really don’t care about your future will be unable to do much for you. Your romantic nature may be in overdrive in November, so you may be attracted to people and things of little substance based on superficial appearances.
