Horoscopes: Musical chairs By Imhotep Maybe it is time to play musical chairs in a budding relationship, my dear Scales, as people born under the Cardinal Air sign of Libra (23 Sep-23 Oct) are sometimes called. Especially if the two of you are already sitting in clearly defined roles. Being beginners together can really set the stage for romance. Opposites attract? That is only for books and films. But do not be so hasty. Some of those clichés have a little truth in them. Someone who is rock-solid provides just the foundation you need to soar. Sometimes you just need to tell people what the desired results are and let them surprise you with their ingenuity. Trust others and learn how to delegate authority. No matter how powerful you are, you cannot do everything single-handedly. This soulful connection is so strong that you are tempted to drop everything to try and make it happen. Please, don't. Imhotep counsels caution. If it is meant to be, nothing you can do can mess it up. If, on the other hand, it is wrong or harmful to you in the long-run, then nothing you can do can make it work. Though the wintry clouds cast shadows on Eagles, as people born under the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio (24 Oct- 23 Nov) are sometimes called, they have no lingering power to block the sun. Eagles are attractive people who become even more enticing under the astral energies circulating during the festive season. Just make sure you are not so entranced by the frosting that you do not check out the cake too. Right now, the home fires will warm any cold place in your heart. It's time to get comfortable in the bosom of your family and heal any old hurts and scars that time hasn't taken care of. Get to it. It is an Alice-in-Wonderland world of improbable statistics. The process of rediscovering yourself after a couple of weeks in limbo is fun. But, it can also be somewhat disorienting. Spend time with a close friend who knows you better than anyone else. Please don't become susceptible to the poisonous blandishments of family and fake friends. They want you to bend over backwards for their own selfish ends. And, they are unwilling to apply the logic of their arguments to themselves. You must make them listen to what you have to say and to consider your own interests for a change. That has been the missing ingredient. Feeling defensive and stubborn, my dear Archers, as people born under the Mutable Fire sign of Sagittarius (24 Nov-23 Dec) are sometimes called Brush off past criticisms, including your own, and focus on the present and future. Resolve to correct any inappropriate behaviour and take a look at what you can for the better. Rushing to judgement is never so tempting but hold off and get all the facts before you pass down a verdict. Do you really know every single detail about who this person is that is preoccupying your thoughts? Or why he or she is reacting the way they did? You feel things deeply which is good -- you understand nuances about other people that fly over your friends' heads. However, this might make you a touch more sensitive than necessary when it comes to dating. What's considered normal and even desirable by popular standards will seem suddenly laughable and quaint. You are more advanced in your ideas than most people. View them as proof you've moved on emotionally. An urge to live authentically won't be ignored. It is time to put your money where your mouth is and pay attention to what matters. Stick to your guns and listen to your instincts, even if it means leaving a situation. Someone has put you into a fog of confusion, forcing you to deal with romantic puzzles and riddles that aren't very funny at all. Evaluate whether or not their company is worth all the frustration and game playing. Look out next week for Imhotep's reading of Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces
