HOROSCOPE

CAPRICORN

Dec 22-Jan 19 Criticisms may hold merit. Don’t be so quick to discount someone’s assessment of your performance as their analysis may prove helpful in the long run. A social gathering may lead to a trip down memory lane.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20-Feb 18 There’s always a catch. Bide your time before buying into an opportunity as there might be hidden costs and fees that will surface later. The object of your affection may offer a special treat.

PISCES

Feb 19-Mar 20 An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It may prove disastrous to start a project before you are properly prepared. Nip potential problems in the bud with careful planning. Small purchases may quickly add up.

ARIES

Mar 21-Apr 19 Waste not, want not. Read reviews and do research before making purchases or you may end up with something of poor quality. You can pamper a loved one without spending exorbitant amounts of money.

TAURUS

Apr 20-May 20 See things through to the end. You may feel better if you keep working past quitting time to finish a project rather than letting it sit over the weekend. Someone who picks up the tab may expect something in return.

GEMINI

May 21-June 20 There’s more to it than meets the eye. Someone who is overly generous or complimentary may have ulterior motives for their behaviour. Avoid volatile situations as you could quickly become involved up to your neck.

CANCER

June 21-July 22 A change of pace makes things interesting. Visiting new places or meeting new people should be enough to satisfy your urge for adventure. Taking a risk with finances or investments may only make your piggy bank lighter.

LEO

July 23-Aug 22 Put things on hold for now. You may be too close to a problem to solve it, so it may be best to leave it alone until next week when you can make a fresh start. Be sure that you know the costs of items beforehand when on social outings.

VIRGO

Aug 23-Sept 22 Take it with a grain a salt. It may be healthy to be sceptical when someone pitches a can’t-miss offer or makes outrageous claims. You may enjoy a quiet evening with a few close friends more than a big bash in a crowd.

LIBRA

Sept 23-Oct 22 Take nothing for granted. If you expect someone to help you pick up the slack, you could be in for a rude awakening. Keep working at projects and assignments until they are completed as putting things off will only create more work.

SCORPIO

Oct 23-Nov 21 Stay grounded in reality. Make sure that you are seeing things as they really are, rather than how you would like them to be. It may be necessary to tackle responsibilities in order of importance as there may not be enough time.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 22-Dec 21 Don’t raise the bar too high. You’ll prevent disappointments if you keep expectations low and reasonable. Use the experience of past mistakes to help keep you from making the same errors all over again.

If today is your birthday:

Social activities and networking may play a large part in your daily routines during the upcoming three to four weeks. In March you may be more competitive and ambitious, so you may tend to go too fast and could be somewhat aggressive about getting your own way. Sidestep crucial decisions and commitments in late May and early June when you may be overconfident of your abilities. New romantic relationships may fulfil your fantasies, but contain fatal flaws, in August. Your determination to succeed increases in October and spikes in November, so this is a good time to begin anything that requires immense drive and concentration.
