HOROSCOPE

CAPRICORN

Dec 22-Jan 19 Don’t covet what isn’t yours. Put the best interest of the other people in your life ahead of your own wants. You can be fair and equitable without being seen as a pushover.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20-Feb 18 Put your defence mechanisms aside. You are brave enough to show your true self. Let others peek beneath the armour at all your tender spots and they will see there is nothing to fear.

PISCES

Feb 19-Mar 20 Your energy and initiative could be wasted if you fall prey to reminisces or get caught up in sentimental daydreams. Rational decisions are put at risk by emotional input.

ARIES

Mar 21-Apr 19 You possess an abundance of energy, so this is a good time plan to tackle projects that have been sitting on the back burner. You may meet people who promise more than they can deliver.

TAURUS

Apr 20-May 20 You are never too tired to be inspired. Mesmerising romantic encounters are entirely possible. You could luck into the perfect alliance for money-making partnerships or business as well.

GEMINI

May 21-June 20 Social contacts can be used as a means to an end and may not mean what they say. New hookups may have too many stars in their eyes for a long-term relationship, but a flirtation is possible.

CANCER

June 21-July 22 It is important to maintain faith in your friends even when they complicate things. Keep your thoughts aimed at creating the future you visualise and don’t be held back by the past.

LEO

July 23-Aug 22 Photograph two birds with one shot. No one kills birds anymore. Take care of the things under your control by being efficient and self- disciplined so you have more time to relax.

VIRGO

Aug 23-Sept 22 Moneymaking activities only need a touch of dedication and a dash of initiative to succeed. A kind and loving partner may act as an inspiration or encourage you to make a purchase.

LIBRA

Sept 23-Oct 22 Career matters may motivate you all day long. When evening falls slip into something comfortable and treat a favourite someone like royalty. A surprise dinner for two could ignite romantic passions.

SCORPIO

Oct 23-Nov 21 You may share heady dreams of a successful future with a romantic partner making this a formidable pairing but may struggle with differing attitudes toward money.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 22-Dec 21 Please yourself. Your purest motives are shining the brightest even if clowning around is the only way you get attention. Others will be amused and tolerant of your little idiosyncrasies. If today is your birthday:

You are likely to be more romantic than usual as the next two to three weeks unfold, but you are somewhat starry-eyed, too, so could be easily misled by a new hookup. You are more practical and shrewder in late December, making that a good time to address your financial security and make end of the year tax decisions. Wishful thinking and the influence of friends can cloud your thinking in January. You may become more ambitious and more willing to roll up your sleeves to do the necessary work to achieve material success in the spring. Don’t overlook helpful advice or an opportunity that arrives in July as it can improve your overall wellbeing for a long time to come.
