Horoscopes: Festive exuberance By Imhotep You are coming into your own, my dear Crabs, as people born under the Cardinal Water sign of Cancer (22 Jun-22 Jul) are sometimes called. But this process, while rewarding, can also be challenging. There are situations that you would like to take for granted, but these foundations must change to allow for real growth. Oh, you lovable worrywarts. When good things are happening is no time to worry about the bad things that might be around the corner. Christmas, New Year's Eve and Eid Al-Adha are upon us. Excitement is in the air. The Stars predict that you shall enjoy the festive season while it lasts. Good fortune, my dear Crabs, usually begets more. You feel like cupid when you set a friend up with an old flame. Wait a minute, though. Could it be that your action causes you to realise that your feeling for them are not quite as dead as you thought? Your friends adore you, my dear Crabs. And, it is no wonder. You are the soul of compassion and generosity. Lately, it seems as if your home has become a clubhouse. You love the company, it provides your social energy with a great outlet. Lately it seems as if up is down and black is white, my dear Lions, as people born under the Fixed Fire sign of Leo (23 Jul-22 Aug) are sometimes called. Sure playing games can get tiresome, but the point of games is that they can be fun and pointless, too. The less important the stakes are to you, the more enjoyment you will have. Relax and let yourself go. What your love life needs is some pointless adventure. So go out with someone you know is all wrong for you, but who is ever so charming and adorable. What is life without a little mischief? Leo is the central sun of the zodiac, and whether you are single or attached, my dear Lions, it is always nice to be reminded that you can turn heads. It does not take a glossy surface to do it either. Wit, charm, intelligence -- your inner beauty brings all eyes to rest on you. So cheer up. You have been feeling vulnerable and in need of protection from things that you perceive as dangerous. This is understandable, but do not shut down completely. After all, there is a lot out there that is working for you, too. Be positive. You are a seeker of knowledge from spiritual spheres to the material world, my dear Virgoans, as people born under the Mutable Earth sign of Virgo (23 Aug-22 Sep) are sometimes called. Keep a beginners mindset no matter how much you learn. This attitude will do well when it comes to facing a new challenge in your life. A date is suddenly playing mysterious and hard to reach. How strange? Do you really need to have a heart-to-heart at this stage or can you figure out what is going on by simply watching and waiting? You are suspicious of someone's repeated offers. Listen to those instincts. It is a good idea to remain wary if someone new keeps offering help when you last expect it. They may not be as innocent as they would like to seem. Take a new look at this person. Did he or she really change, or is it just that you are suddenly willing and able to see them from a completely different angle? Suddenly, the possibilities are endless. Look out next week for Imhotep's reading of Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius
