HOROSCOPE
CAPRICORN
Dec 22-Jan 19 Playing a shell game with hard earned money is risky. Take extra precautions when making major purchases, lending money, or signing contracts. Tighten your belt temporarily and wait out confusing conditions.
AQUARIUS
Jan 20-Feb 18 Pass up the opportunity to purchase a passing fancy. It is better to want something you don’t have than to get something you find that don’t want. You can make an error of judgement with your piggy bank.
PISCES
Feb 19-March 20 Success comes to those who are too busy to look for it. Friends and group activities might distract you or briefly prevent you from concentrating on career, but your networking will pay off in other ways.
ARIES
March 21-April 19 Caution is better than carelessness. It is possible that suspicions are unfounded, but it is always wise to double check the facts. You must choose between following a well-worn path and blazing a trail.
TAURUS
April 20-May 20 Let calls go to the answering machine and avoid making a bad choice. You have worked, scrimped, and saved so this could be a good time to think about ways to protect your nest egg.
GEMINI
May 21-June 20 Crafty manoeuvring and outfoxing others might be a temptation you simply cannot resist, but if you are not completely forthright and honest you won’t succeed.
CANCER
June 21-July 22 The answer to all your prayers is right at your fingertips. You may however be overly optimistic about a financial situation. This is a time when you should go along with the crowd and gather opinions from friends.
LEO
July 23-Aug 22 A true craftsman never blames his tools for errors. Make sure the blade is sharp and measurements are accurate before you begin something important. Focus on creating lasting results and own up to your mistakes.
VIRGO
Aug 23-Sept 22 Tackle mundane tasks with efficiency. Keep the emotional side of things in perspective and apply logic to the dollars and cents. A significant other may understand your motivations better than you do yourself.
LIBRA
Sept 23-Oct 22 Enjoy honouring commitments just as much as you enjoy freedom of action. Use your business know-how to handle finances with finesse or hook up with someone else who has an abundance of the skills you lack.
SCORPIO
Oct 23-Nov 21 Overwhelming jobs get handled very quickly when you ask for assistance. A cheerful, positive attitude and team spirit can outwit and overcome the competition.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov 22-Dec 21 You might be at odds over the particulars, but you and a constant companion, can agree that through teamwork you can try to make things as good as they can be.
If today is your birthday:
During the next six weeks you can be more detached and objective than usual, but you may be easily distracted from what is important. You may be sidelined by financial ambitions or engage in business activities that might strain your abilities. A new romance or business proposition could come your way in July, but you might be blind to pitfalls. Take a vacation but don’t sign on the dotted line. You might be considered lucky in late September and early October, especially if you take advantage of helpful opportunities that knock on your door. Wait until then to make irrevocable decisions, job changes, or romantic commitments while you are wiser than usual.
