HOROSCOPE

CAPRICORN

Dec 22-Jan 19 Subscribe to the one-hand-washes-the-other theory. Get your point across by emphasising the benefits for everyone else rather than simply focusing on your own advantages.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20-Feb 18 Dare to deal with dusty domestic matters. Sweep away problems that have been neglected. Group dynamics issues could alter the atmosphere so keep your nose to the grindstone.

PISCES

Feb 19-Mar 20 Don’t rely on something that could be as fallible as the weather forecast. Everyone talks about the weather but there isn’t anything anyone can do about the forecast when it is wrong.

ARIES

Mar 21-Apr 19 You may risk a little to gain a lot. Keep an eye open for unexpected opportunities that arrive thanks to someone you meet over the next few days. Travel plans could become a hot topic.

TAURUS

Apr 20-May 20 A determined drive to succeed can be used to follow through with studies and creative projects. Your mind may wander when you should be paying attention to financial details.

GEMINI

May 21-June 20 Avoid mindless chatter, which could detract from your charm. A lack of concentration may cause you to stumble over your words. You may end up with a foot stuck in your mouth.

CANCER

June 21-July 22 Your head may be flooded by imaginative and constructive ideas. Draw others into the circle to successfully start joint projects. Someone else’s enthusiasm will light your fires, too.

LEO

July 23-Aug 22 Have a knack for staying in the black. Give the bank account balance some attention. It is said you must spend money to make money, but you must be sure the intake outpaces the outflow.

VIRGO

Aug 23-Sept 22 Where there is a want, a wish or a will there is a way. Whether you want to impress a new contact with your charms or make extra money you will have plenty of inspiration to draw upon.

LIBRA

Sept 23-Oct 22 Get grounded. A kite will only fly when it is controlled from the earth. You may have numerous ideas and a vivid imagination, but they must be used for practical purposes.

SCORPIO

Oct 23-Nov 21 Trust that others have your best interest at heart but don’t jump to conclusions. You may have an urge to be extravagant. Keep your money in your wallet and take time about key decisions.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 22-Dec 21 Your path to success is found by exploring creative ideas and gaining co-operation from others. You could be caught up in your enthusiasms and inadvertently go to extremes.

If today is your birthday:

You may think there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow during the next two to three weeks. By mid-December, however, you will be more realistic and willing to work hard to create your own pot of gold. Your ambitions take precedence as the new year rolls around, and anything you initiate is certain to be a success. However, you might not be able to rely on a partner or friend, so it is best to oversee all the details yourself. In March you might be filled with false confidence or lose traction if you slip back into counterproductive activities. Be on the lookout for golden opportunities in June that can raise your life to a higher plateau and solve problems permanently.
