STARS AND PUZZLES
CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 19
Avoid looking like a piñata if you are surrounded by people carrying sticks. It is too easy to be at odds with others over possessions. Don’t brag about your successes and conquests.
AQUARIUS Jan 20-Feb 18
Focus on friends and enjoy group activities. This is a good weekend to learn something new in a social setting. Share homespun delights and insights with a special someone.
PISCES Feb 19-March 20
Use crystal clear persuasion. Coax someone to support you in an idea or project. You can achieve an honourable compromise if you are sincere and follow through on commitments.
ARIES March 21-April 19
Someone’s trendy and liberated style might tweak your interest, but you might have long term commitment in mind. A friend’s companionship might not satisfy a need for deep intimacy.
TAURUS April 20-May 20
Don’t enter any contest you can’t afford to lose. It is easy to overlook the loopholes hidden in the fine print. Watch what you say and take what others say with a grain of salt.
GEMINI May 21-June 20
Take your heart off your sleeve. If you make a proposal or commitment it could create misunderstandings. Someone may give you a very slight reason to mistrust their intentions.
CANCER June 21-July 22
Conflict could freeze up your plans or your heart. You could feel that a confrontation is similar to the Titanic and the iceberg. You should move out of the way because the iceberg won’t.
LEO July 23-Aug 22
New conquests could spice up your weekend or provide exciting new adventures. Don’t expect the euphoria of a casual fling or new relationship to last after the lights come back on.
VIRGO Aug 23-Sept 22
Some children’s rhymes are wrong for adults. “Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me” might not be applicable. Steer clear of disputes and disagreements.
LIBRA Sept 23-Oct 22
Duck the lasso. Someone may think your friendship holds more promise for intimacy than intended. Be cautious as your warmth and enthusiasm might inadvertently lead someone on.
SCORPIO Oct 23-Nov 21
Your education is measured by the worthiness of your teachers. If you learn something from a wise and caring person you will rise higher than you will if you learn something the hard way.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 22-Dec 21
Excuses won’t excuse bad behaviour. Don’t paint yourself into a corner where you will be placed on the defensive. Telling lies or avoiding responsibilities will cause problems.
If today is your birthday:
The next four to five weeks you can make major changes, decisions, or commitments that will live up to their promise. Because people will admire you and appreciate your abilities it is a good time to seek a new position or to find the person you have always dreamt of meeting. In December and January your judgement is off base, so you can make financial mistakes or romantic blunders. Wait until late April or early May to make changes to your financial situation or business decisions while your street smarts and shrewdness is in tip top condition. You will be wise to maintain a low profile in June, but your hard work and attention to your responsibilities will pay off.
