HOROSCOPE
CAPRICORN
Dec 22-Jan 19 Burning the candle at both ends may be in the stars for you. It could be career objectives that have your attention or a new romance. You possess the stamina to endure tedious, long hours.
AQUARIUS
Jan 20-Feb 18 Applying elbow grease is the best tactic. Put romance on the back burner as serious matters need your attention. Put all your cards on the table even if this means you lose.
PISCES
Feb 19-March 20 There is no such thing as an instant success. All you can do is your very best and hope to avoid criticism and disapproval. If you remain strictly on the up and up and refuse to bend the rules you can pass today’s tests.
ARIES
March 21-April 19 Ambitions grow stronger. Hone your creative skills by practicing diligently and being your own harshest critic. You will be well rewarded for a job well done, although you may not receive any compensation immediately.
TAURUS
April 20-May 20 If you play with the bull you could get the horn. You may end up in a dispute if you interfere with someone who is obsessed by a new idea or business venture. Don’t make major decisions or change key processes.
GEMINI
May 21-June 20 Stop to take a reality check. Some things can be blown entirely out of proportion. You may imagine that money grows on trees or that yours is the only authentic belief system. Avoid making large purchases now.
CANCER
June 21-July 22 Fulfil obligations and don’t slip away into a lazy frame of mind. To gain approval let the need to please the boss outweigh pressing romantic urges. This is no time for slipshod work or taking unnecessary shortcuts.
LEO
July 23-Aug 22 Your high expectations may not be met. Some people may not live up to your standards or otherwise disappoint you. Don’t let small disagreements spoil the harmony of relationships or insist on having your own way.
VIRGO
Aug 23-Sept 22 Tuck your money away in a safe place. You may be plagued by temptations to buy ostentatious or unnecessary items. Someone close may want to spend freely, too. Avoid misunderstandings over possessions or possessiveness.
LIBRA
Sept 23-Oct 22 Remain upright and on an even keel. Going to extremes can be counterproductive and can rock the boat. You may feel obliged to squabble over an issue that in hindsight won’t be as important as you think it is.
SCORPIO
Oct 23-Nov 21 Any job worth doing is worth doing well. Don’t be persuaded to follow along if a companion or a loved one tries to duck out of a responsibility. Put your best foot forward at the workplace or in social gatherings.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov 22-Dec 21 Instant gratification of your desires is a fairy tale. You may temporarily be dissatisfied with possessions, your financial condition or loved ones. Focus on following through on a project.
If today is your birthday:
The upcoming six weeks may bring mixed blessings and you may need to weigh choices carefully. Over sensitivity might be your worst fault and relationships could experience difficulties. You may feel popular in October and impress others. In November your ambitions are on the rise and you must live up to responsibilities. It may seem that no one is willing to give an inch. Issues from the past that you have neglected may cause problems and it is a poor time to risk any new activity. February is the best time to make changes as the stars are shining favourably.
