HOROSCOPE

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 19

Never count on winning the lottery if you haven’t even purchased a ticket; you must sow seeds before you harvest. Don’t become entangled in conflict between friends when there are other more pressing issues to deal with.

AQUARIUS Jan 20-Feb 18

Notice if a co-worker who needs your expertise suddenly gives you a compliment, or if you’re tempted to spend money on a transitory indulgence. You could be blinded by surface appearances for a few hours.

PISCES Feb 19-Mar 20

You have the opportunity of learning something important with every experience. You may feel in your element when you can dress casually and rules are minimal. Ask questions to ascertain clear information.

ARIES Mar 21-Apr 19

You might enjoy the chase the most; a roving eye or enjoyment of flirtation, may not necessarily mean you’re serious about becoming involved in a romantic relationship. You like to make every task a social event.

TAURUS Apr 20-May 20

Multi-task with the best of them. Physical exercise will be more enjoyable when you have a buddy or are in a group. You can be sociable while staying in shape, working on a project, or when doing something constructive.

GEMINI May 21-June 20

To each their own. Although you may find technology or a new concept to be fascinating, someone else might be less impressed. Give a loved one the space and consideration to follow their own unique dreams.

CANCER June 21-July 22

Allow yourself to both give and receive. Make a charitable donation to a worthy cause if someone asks. A little bit of concentrated analysis will show you the way to become freer of seeking outside validation.

LEO July 23-Aug 22

You can be shrewd as well as honest and straightforward. If you adhere to the highest ideals, your business as well as your relationships will thrive. Be open-minded and give a loved one or a friend the benefit of the doubt.

VIRGO Aug 23-Sept 22

Keep your mind focused on achieving the best results. Don’t be afraid to offer imaginative or creative suggestions. Tossing some ideas back and forth may allow you to come up with some ingenious and worthwhile solutions.

LIBRA Sept 23-Oct 22

Exercise with a special someone. Find physical outlets to alleviate any restless energy that’s built up and socialise at the same time. Spend time with someone who increases your enthusiasm for a task.

SCORPIO Oct 23-Nov 21

You cannot hide yourself away if you want to come out on top. A confident approach can bolster your sense of self-worth and reassure your audience. A positive attitude can bring issues out into the open and clear the air. SAGITTARIUS Nov 22-Dec 21 Trust in your ability to handle emerging information with a no-nonsense approach. This will quell any doubts that you’re the right one for the job. Your quick thinking in an emergency may bring high praise.

If today is your birthday:

Your ambitions may be overwhelming as the next three to four weeks unfold but you need to maintain a low profile and avoid any controversy. Write down your financial plans so you can execute them when the stars are more favourable. In October, a materialistic outlook can get you in hot water if it causes you to ride roughshod over other people’s feelings to get your way. Late December and early January can be challenging, especially if you volunteer for extra responsibilities. Do not begin new projects or launch plans as your success might be limited. Remain humble and perform your duties to the letter in January when authority figures may scrutinise your performance. You could be more romantic than usual in February or subject to flights of fancy, making it an excellent time for a relaxing vacation.
