HOROSCOPE

Born today, you have been endowed with a clear head, a keen eye and the ability to make the most out of a situation or circumstances that is still in the evolutionary phase or have only just become apparent to you. You are a strategist; you know how to position yourself to get the best possible results from something — even if it's not an area in which you were intentionally involved. Indeed, many times you are most successful when you have to wing it; relying on your experience and instincts to see you through is likely to become quite a successful strategy for you in and of itself. You are flexible, mobile, clever and always able to manoeuvre yourself to better your chances of success. You rarely if ever find yourself behind the eight-ball!

Your personal life may have to take a backseat to your professional development, especially when you are young and determined to chart a course that gets results and allows you to make a name for yourself. Only later in life will it occur to you to strive for domestic bliss as well as professional success! A new idea comes to you through unfamiliar channels, and you may not feel that it is appropriate for you to explore it fully just yet.

Don't take offence at the challenge that is being mounted against you by a rival. You can bet that it's purely business — at least for now.

Take care you don't let others see the tricks of your trade, for right now a fun deception is your most valuable ally.

You may unite with someone from afar today to work for a cause that is bigger than both of you. You will want to solicit support.

Retrace recent steps and you're likely to recover something that was lost. In the process, you're likely to learn an important lesson.

You may have the opportunity today to trade something no longer useful to you for something that is — but is it too good to be true?

You'll welcome any help that comes your way today, even though the problem you face is not all that large; your mind is elsewhere.

You are able to demonstrate a little more of your particular specialty today, thanks to a friend who knows how valuable it really is.

Your ambition is growing, but you can maintain the proper level of realism as you consider what might be possible in the near future.

You don't understand what others are up to, and they certainly don't understand what you're up to either. It's time to come together. An obstacle that is self-inflicted proves quite difficult to overcome today. Even going around it is all but impossible right now.
