HOROSCOPE

CAPRICORN

Dec 22-Jan 19

Acting impulsively on a passing brainstorm might create a few loose ends. A project may go awry unless you listen to the voice of reason. It might be wise to keep your money in your pocket and avoid long-term financial agreements now.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20-Feb 18

A strict regimen and careful organisation will help you achieve everything you set out to do. Adhere to your own standards even if it sometimes seems that other people let things slide. What goes around comes around.

PISCES

Feb 19-Mar 20

Your high ideals let you rise above petty problems. You should feel secure in your key relationships and completely at home in your work environment. Keep an eye on your bank account, as you might accidently press the wrong button.

ARIES

Mar 21-Apr 19

Don’t let your imagination get out of hand or do more than is required to get the job done. You may meet someone who tries to spin the facts in their favor. Rely on a well-developed sense of ethics to handle anything questionable.

TAURUS

Apr 20-May 20

Apply rational thinking to achieve balance. Your no-nonsense attitude and practical solutions might be drowned out by the clamor of those who are overly optimistic. Explain the facts in a calm and reasonable manner to save the day.

GEMINI

May 21-June 20

There may be a few hours today when you feel buried in drudgery and work. Luckily, a friend or family member will offer you something more cheerful to think about. Stay in close communication with trusted loved ones.

CANCER

June 21-July 22

What goes down usually comes back up. Your feelings may be submerged early in the day but should bob back up to the surface once tensions are released. A partner or loved one will be in the mood for some unbridled fun.

LEO

July 23-Aug 22

Bait the hook. If you want to catch fish, use worms or minnows, but if you want to capture someone’s heart, use kindness and romantic words. Your partner or favorite companion might be engrossed in a tightly bound schedule.

VIRGO

Aug 23-Sept 22

When it comes to buying something or using your money, you could take a chance and hope for the best. You will probably be much more cautious when your work is involved. Don’t go overboard when shopping, as you might be disappointed.

LIBRA

Sept 23-Oct 22

Be human Velcro and stick to the ones you love. You might not feel that you look your best under these stars, so reach out to loved ones by phone or email. It may be necessary to sift the wheat from the chaff and separate fact from fiction.

SCORPIO

Oct 23-Nov 21

A calculated risk might entail more risk than calculation. Any overconfidence could stretch your financial resources. Don’t invest your money without adequate forethought or just because a group of friends encourage you to act.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 22-Dec 21

Weigh enthusiasm against common sense. You may be carried away by a whim or let a friend drastically alter a plan. Everything will likely turn out for the best if you discuss all the ramifications of a proposed change.

If today is your birthday:

As the next three to four weeks fly by, you might be fascinated by someone or something that isn’t quite as substantial as you imagine. At the same time, you may be a whizkid when it comes to making money through the careful handling of your assets. Stick to things that are black and white and ignore any flights of fancy. In late June and early July, you might mistake a friendly invitation for a romantic proposal. This awkward situation may seem exciting, but misplaced affections could let you down in the end when the facts are revealed. Late July and August is a good time to begin an exercise routine and get in shape. Your competitive juices may be stirred, and throughout September you should be a popular figure if you participate in group or team activities. December and January are excellent times to change jobs, look for a new position or make a serious romantic commitment while your charisma is at a high point.
