HOROSCOPE

CAPRICORN

Dec 22-Jan 19

Count courtesy just like stitches. As you know, a stitch in time saves nine. If you step on toes, beg someone’s pardon. Knit back together a relationship that’s fallen apart.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20-Feb 18

Faithfully follow friends. When the going gets tough, the tough get going, but real friends show their true colours. If your ambition is tweaked, then it’s time to apply your skill set like a pro.

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20

Your mental acrobatics and logical approach may be unappreciated, but intuitions could be right on the mark. A passing flirtation might bring someone of value into your circle of friends.

ARIES

March 21-April 19

Add more than you subtract. In financial matters, make a conscious effort to avoid careless spending. A key love relationship can be kick-started to restore harmony and serenity.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

Someone’s example of efficiency can become your role model. Work on a pet project or get up to speed with career matters. Utilise the extra energy and passion at your fingertips.

GEMINI

May 21-June 20

No matter how dull and boring routine work seems, or how many obligations you must fulfil, rest assured that things will improve. Your opinions earn respect within social circles.

CANCER

June 21-July 22

Things from the bargain bin are easily tossed in the trash. Value the lasting things that never waver or fade. Refuse to let hidden inner fears prevent you from being the best you can be.

LEO

July 23-Aug 22

Pay attention to the poetry in the world around you. Explore the depth of feelings that thrive between you and a loved one. A friendly flirtation could well warm up a chilly business situation.

VIRGO

Aug 23-Sept 22

It’s time to put some plans and ideas in front of others. They say it takes money to make money, but you should try to ‘‘make it do or do without’’. Use networking power, not financial clout, to find success.

LIBRA

Sept 23-Oct 22

A special someone might be quite impressed by your physical prowess or brash self-confidence. This could be a good time to approach someone without seeming overly aggressive.

SCORPIO

Oct 23-Nov 21

One is the loneliest number. Find someone to share your day. The great outdoors or competitive sports are highlighted. If you are going to play at anything, resolve to play to win.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 22-Dec 21

Don’t throw away something that’s still useful. Transform old things into new ones or find new uses for them. Cash in by having a garage sale, or make a donation to local charity.

If today is your birthday . . . Look for a chance to lead others, rise in the ranks on the job, or benefit from a wider range of connections during the upcoming two months. This is a time when you’re more focused on achieving recognition in the business world. Once you make a step forward or improve your financial condition, you’re unlikely to slip backwards. Any advancement you make in late October or early November is likely to be permanent. Plan to take a vacation or fulfill other fantasies in January or February when your business or financial ideas are on the back-burner.
