DAILY HOROSCOPE

Jeraldine Saunders

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 19

Let things slide for now. You’ve done enough work this week so just kick back and relax for the time being. A quiet evening at home may result in you finding perfect harmony with a loved one.

AQUARIUS Jan 20-Feb 18

You can always do better. Don’t get too content with a good performance as the next step is to raise the bar even higher for next time. Be wary that a kind act doesn’t have romantic overtones.

PISCES Feb 19-Mar 20

Dare to be different. Going through the same old motions is likely to put you to sleep so be on the lookout for something exciting and new. Those who pique your interest today may be out of your usual set.

ARIES Mar 21-Apr 19

Rome wasn’t built in a day. Be patient and allow events to unfold before you decide that you need to make sweeping changes. Your first impression of someone may be off the mark so reserve judgement.

TAURUS Apr 20-May 20

The buck stops here. Own up to mistakes and don’t try to blame a poor performance on someone or something else. Let someone divulge private information on their own, don’t force the issue.

GEMINI May 21-June 20

Make dreams a reality. It may be worth checking out if a good idea has a feasible chance at working. As time marches on it may be necessary to assess whether you need to replace the old with the new.

CANCER June 21-July 22

Don’t hesitate to speak your mind. It would be foolish to go along with a plan that isn’t working so be sure to let everyone know what you think. A disagreement does not need to turn into an argument.

LEO July 23-Aug 22

Step back and count to 10. Trying to accomplish too much in too short of a time may leave you frazzled so just take a break when needed. Your own perfectionism may be what makes a task too difficult.

VIRGO Aug 23-Sept 22

Even a rerun is new to you if you haven’t seen it before. You may only have to travel to your own backyard to discover something new and exciting. Go out of your way to meet new people and make new friends.

LIBRA Sept 23-Oct 22

Take the wind out of their sails. Someone may be itching for a fight, but you can easily diffuse the situation with wit and humour. Today you can’t talk your way through anything unless you pour on the charm.

SCORPIO Oct 23-Nov 21

Butting heads only give you a headache. Don’t get drawn into a confrontation, especially for silly or frivolous reasons. Solving a difficult problem may prove to be a stimulating way to pass the time.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 22-Dec 21

Don’t jump the gun. Be sure to have all available facts at your disposal before making a tough decision. Those who are pressuring you to act quickly may not really be on your side.

If today is your birthday:

As the next five to six weeks unfold you will be more practical and businesslike than usual, making this a good time to reassess your financial status and business goals. By September you might be more inclined to fritter your time away on impractical ideas and projects. Avoid drowning in a sea of unrealisable notions and romantic follies and instead focus on the things that reflect reality. Your ambitions may grow throughout October, but it is best to wait until late November to start any major undertaking. In November you will benefit from sage counsel and people who have your best interests at heart. You may be offered a golden opportunity that will have a positive effect on your future.
