HOROSCOPE

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 19 Be sure to keep up your end of a deal. You can’t shirk responsibilities and duties without being called onto the carpet. Use your business sense to put money in your pocket.

AQUARIUS Jan 20-Feb 18 A sterling work ethic keeps your nose to the grindstone. It is difficult to socialise or enjoy entertainments when economic necessity calls. Give in with good grace and juggle your schedule.

PISCES Feb 19-March 20 Charm and style are your best friends. Avoid being caught up in the crossfire of minor emotional storms. Keep firmly focused on achieving long term plans for even if obstacles pop up.

ARIES March 21-April 19 Temporary tensions can turn things upside down. If you concentrate on business, rather than pleasure, upsets will subside quickly. Hold off on major purchases, investments, or agreements.

TAURUS April 20-May 20 Someone’s attempt to micromanage and control every detail can make your life miserable. Your powers of persuasion are at low ebb and even if you win, you lose. Put off major starts.

GEMINI May 21-June 20 Dig deep to get down to essential truths. Shared feelings, money, and resources require your devoted attention. It may be necessary to spend dollars that weren’t included in the budget.

CANCER June 21-July 22 Stick to the safe path. Prioritise your bills and be sure to pay them on time. A key relationship can suffer if you insist on getting your way. Take your time about making major decisions.

LEO July 23-Aug 22 The sun will come out tomorrow. Realise that a cold reception from others or criticism is merely temporary. This isn’t an auspicious time to enter into an important deal or to achieve a compromise.

VIRGO Aug 23-Sept 22 Don’t be dismayed by deadlines. Spend time prioritising tasks. Get organised. Make a list to avoid time wasting confusion. You may see that you are making a mountain out of a molehill.

LIBRA Sept 23-Oct 22 A fervent interest in work, career, or business could occupy every waking minute. Conversations with romantic partners may lack warmth on the surface but joint interests will be achieved.

SCORPIO Oct 23-Nov 21 No one ever publishes the first draft. You may need to work long hours to attain perfection but it will be worth it in the end. Don’t take on extra obligations or ignore responsibilities.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 22-Dec 21 Enthusiasm may be drained in mysterious ways. It isn’t a good time to tackle new projects, especially if they require muscle or physical exertion. Loved ones could be touchy.

If today is your birthday:

Hold off on making major changes to your job, business, career or finances during the upcoming eight to 10 weeks. You may be currently motivated by worthy ambitions but it might be March or April before they can be realised. May and June is the best time to ask for favours, make significant decisions, or accept any beneficial opportunities that pop into the picture. Next May can be an extremely romantic time for you and a special someone, so it will be a great time to make a proposal or a commitment. Your charisma will be at a high point so it is a good time to make a job or career change as well.
