HOROSCOPE

CAPRICORN Dec 22- Jan 19 Find a sympathetic ear. You may be confused as to whether a recent connection is a blessing or a ball and chain. Look to someone you know and trust for sage advice and direction. AQUARIUS Jan 20- Feb 18 Pinch those pennies. Adopting frugal habits now can help build up a surplus of extra cash later. Faced with tough decisions, you can safely go with your first instinct without fear of making a mistake. PISCES Feb 19- Mar 20 Shake things up. It’s a good time for making changes, whether it be changing long-term goals or simply trying out a new look. Try to come up with strategies that accentuate your strengths and hide your weaknesses. ARIES Mar 21- Apr 19 You can’t do it all yourself. A busy schedule leaves little room for error, so it might be wise to find somebody to help out. Getting everything accomplished that you need to today may be difficult without careful planning. TAURUS Apr 20- May 20 Practice what you preach. You won’t impress anyone without actions and accomplishments to back up your words. Acting in a professional manner will earn respect and help you achieve success. GEMINI May 21- June 20 Plot a course. You have the foresight to make future plans and plot strategies with great odds of success. Utilise your gift of gab to convince others to join your cause or nudge a business contact into sealing the deal. CANCER June 21- July 22 A penny saved is a penny earned. Put spare change into your piggy bank and clip coupons from the newspaper. Every little bit helps, and even the smallest cost-cutting measures will eventually add up to major savings. LEO July 23- Aug 22 What comes around goes around. Being too critical or demanding of others could backfire big-time. To get the best out of those around you, approach them in a polite and compassionate manner. VIRGO Aug 23- Sept 22 Put final decisions on hold. You’re able to convince anybody of anything. If you decide it’s best to wait before making a permanent commitment, those around you will all be in agreement. Treating yourself to a few plush items won’t break the bank. LIBRA Sept 23- Oct 22 Look at the bigger picture. Don’t get bogged down in insignificant details or petty squabbles when there’s a much more important objective at stake. Be wary of making too much out of a disagreement with a loved one. SCORPIO Oct 23- Nov 21 Go your own way. Others may be too busy with other matters to give you the attention you crave. It falls to you to keep yourself gainfully amused this evening. Word puzzles, a good book, or a juicy movie may fill the void. SAGITTARIUS Nov 22- Dec 21 Talk it out. Frank discussions with a friend or colleague may offer valuable insights regarding a business relationship or career direction. Put your creativity to the test by finding ways to cut corners and put a lid on expenses.

If today is your birthday:

You have extra energy during the coming four to six weeks, so this is a good time to tackle projects that require executive decisions and quick reflexes. You should shine when dealing with groups, clubs and organisations. Throughout March you’ll be inspired to follow your dreams. Your judgement will be better than usual so you can successfully embrace opportunities and make wise decisions that affect your future. To a lesser extent, July will be a good time period to start new projects and make your dreams come true.
