Horoscopes: Engulfed by intimacy

Horoscopes:
Engulfed by intimacy
By Imhotep
A series of highs and lows could give you a hefty emotional whiplash, my dear Rams as people born under the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries (21 Mar-21 Apr) are sometimes called. The more you can open up with others the more connected you become.
Feeling irritable? Remind yourself that this, too, shall pass. It may be trite, but it is also true. If you make an effort to deal honestly with your feelings, they just might clear up more quickly because of it.
There is nothing wrong with a charming rogue, especially if that person happens to be you. Everyone should have at least one or two completely frivolous romantic encounters in their life.
Eating out suits your needs and emotional disposition and sets the stage where romantic sparks fly about wildly. Just remember that most of your closest friends are feeling a little vulnerable right now, so make sure to avoid touchy topics when possible.
A new emotional outlet will give you more energy by the end of December. And, what is the Stars recipe for fun? Remember that you shine more brightly in the company of others. So get out there, and you might just make a connection that will lead you to a lifelong passionate or professional relationship. Either way, you will be all the happier for it.
Tackle the tasks as they happen instead of letting them pile up into a big, scary heap, my dear Bulls, as people born under the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May) are sometimes called. Work harder, make an effort to spruce up your home, romance your sweetheart and catch up with friends you have not seen in a while.
You are getting fond of it yourself.
Take a look at your lifestyle and see if it suits your soul's needs. How can you improve your quality of life? Even a tiny movement towards change can trigger the universe to fling open the doors of opportunity for you.
And, as with Rams, the more you, Bulls, can open up with others the more connected you become. Intimacy, whether with a lover, business partner or a close friend, happens when people can explore each other's vulnerabilities and still feel safe.
Rather than ignoring those who are trying to reach out to you, listen to what they are saying. A deeper inner truth is ready to emerge. Let it come forward gracefully and your life will evolve.
Don't believe the hype, my dear Twins, as people born under the Mutable Air sign of Gemini (23 May-22 Jun) are sometimes called. Someone is talking a romantic prospect up to the Heavens. But, the Stars bode ill. Don't believe a word they say.
You, softies that you are, want to believe every word of their sweet nothings. Reserve judgement. Meeting in person over a period of a couple of weeks will clarify where you stand.
A very serious promise will be made during a talk and you will probably be initiating the conversation which just cannot help but turn out smashing. Make plans to celebrate appropriately.
Look beyond nostalgia and into the eyes of reality. Everyone around you is thinking about a change for the better. Get them excited about your own very impressive ideas, and they will do the heavy lifting while you stand back and direct.
That higher-up you have been trying to get in contact with? The one who has been next to impossible to find? Keep at it. You may have decided to surrender, but if you give it just one more try, you may be pleasantly surprised. Go on, try harder.
Your instincts are saying one thing, but your insecurities are saying another, and worse, are making you doubt what you are hearing. Heed what your heart and gut instincts tell you. Commit to your intuition, and you shall have a sign that indicates that you are on the right path. A deeper inner truth is welling up inside you, and is ready to emerge. Let it come forward gracefully and your life will evolve.
Look out next week for Imhotep's reading of Cancer, Leo and Virgo
