Horoscopes: Tribulations of Touba By Imhotep A very profound promise will be made during a talk, my dear Rams as people born under the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries (21 Mar-21 Apr) are sometimes called, and you will probably be initiating the conversation which just cannot help but turn out well. Make plans to celebrate appropriately. Allowing friendships to evolve leads naturally to bigger and better things right now. It pays to listen when your heart speaks, my dear Rams. Your mind is saying it is time to rest, but an inward drive is pushing you to mix and mingle. New people bring out sides of you that you didn't even know existed. Remember to eat in an appropriate manner. Don't be tempted to binge. Especially in mid-winter. January, which roughly coincides with the Coptic month of Touba, the coldest month of the Coptic calendar, bodes ill for gluttons. Watch yourself if you start eating to comfort other, more emotional needs. And, don't drink excessively either. Gulping down gallons of water would do you no good. Schedule a date with yourself as soon as possible. Read a best-selling book or heart-warming novel, go for long walks or to the cinema and relax. Try breathing exercises. Vacations don't have to mean lots of planning and money. Turn off your phone and computer and snuggle up for a few days with your favourite person. But, stay away from snacks and junk food please. Get a good book and sit in the tub -- yes have a bubble bath with some soothing aromatic oils. Go on, indulge. You need some downtime. Unwind and have fun. Look beyond nostalgia and into the eyes of utility, my dear Bulls, as people born under the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May) are sometimes called. Everyone these days is thinking about a change for the better. Get them excited about your idea and they will do the heavy lifting while you stand. Here you thought you buried that bit of business forever, but something from the past keeps popping up when you least expect it. Be brave and explore this old issue without judgement, and you might finally see through the last of it. Indeed, it is time to make plans -- big plans that you are comfortable with. It is about time you acknowledge the wonderful person you actually are. Throw out any old fears or expectations of what you can and can't do. The universe wants you to succeed. And by the way, if you want to pique the interest of someone special be vague and coy. Don't get too specific about what you have in mind. Let them be the first one to move things forward. It is time to let someone else lead the way. The Heavens are in the mood to help you get close and personal with someone. If you are dating, expect to take one giant step towards closeness with someone. If you are not seeing anyone, expect that to change pretty soon. Your instincts are saying one thing, my dear Twins, as people born under the Mutable Air sign of Gemini (23 May-22 Jun) are sometimes called, but your insecurities are making you doubt what you are hearing. Heed what your heart and gut tell you. Commit to your intuition, and you'll get a sign that indicates you are on the right path. A proactive approach works wonders when it comes to the love department now. How, exactly, can you be proactive regarding the mysteries of romance? Decide what you are looking for and find new ways to seek it. So you can be gullible sometimes, but not right now, and especially not in the realm of romance. A relationship might be quite what it seems at the moment, but you of all people can see through to the real possibilities. Look deeper to gain better understanding of where this may be going. Engage your interactive mind as well as your naturally optimistic heart. And, above all keep your hopes within the realm of the realistic.
