Horoscopes: Finances and feelings

Horoscopes:
Finances and feelings
By Imhotep
Get-the-job-done Sea Goats, as people born under the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn (22 Dec -22 Jan) are sometimes called, need a break in the weeks ahead.
The stars guarantee extra amounts of willpower in the weeks ahead. And, Sea Goats are well-known for their iron will. They are not intimidated or influenced by the diverse opinions and opposition.
However, a complicated co-worker might excel at making matters more complicated and lately you feel that they've gone out from mild nuisance to outright liability. Stick things out and you'll see your efforts rewarded. You know how to handle these sticky matters, my dear Sea Goats. It is tempting to offer two pounds with regards to a certain romantic situation now, but minding your own business while it settles out is probably a better plan. A group adventure you planned will be lively, sheer fun and excitement. The planned adventure will move you one step closer to letting everyone know how you feel about a certain burning issue.
Get ready for a secret to be revealed unceremoniously. You already know what it might be. Your mission now is to figure out how to cover your tracks and keep smiling.
Imhotep knows that prying yourself out of bed might appear to be the biggest challenge for you at the moment, my dear Water Bearers, as people born under the Fixed Air sign of Aquarius (23 Jan-19 Feb) are sometimes called. You went out looking for friends and you ended up with a passel of friends. While you may be taken aback at this tun of events, you cannot say you are displeased. After all, you can never have too many friends. Being single is a luxury, because it gives you time to determine what changes you want to make in life. You can transform ad rediscover yourself in any way you would want -- you control your own destiny, not others around you. Remember that, always.
You could feel like love is a maze now, and you are the little mouse trying so desperately to get to the cheese at the centre of life. You actually have a much better idea of the overall layout of it all than you think.
You're not exactly the soul of frugality my dear Water Bearers, so just don't get too crazy in October. Stay within your budget. Moneywise, act like a thrifty, but risk-taking tycoon: be clever with your money and watch it grow.
Intense disagreement over money matters, however, might lead to a row with a close family member by the beginning of October. Take it easy.
The gift for processing feelings is a rare one, my dear Dolphins, as people born under the Mutable Water sign of Pisces (20 Feb -21 Mar) are sometimes called. And, you have it in spades.
Dolphins are able to understand the highest highs and the lowest lows, all without losing that inner sense of satisfaction and balance -- especially so when the Ascendant of a Piscean is Libra.
The astrological powers in charge want you to explore your emotional depths, my dear Dolphins. And, what you find might surprise you. True, you were born with certain boundaries, but ultimately you decide your own character. Do it swimmingly.
Just when you thought things were calm and settled, surprises leap out at you from nowhere. While all this stimulation leaves you feeling a little on edge, you have to admit that you've never felt more alive.
What should you do with all this energy? focus on the people who need you. Generosity is an integral part of your nature, my dear Dolphins. What is more, you look for anonymous ways to be charitable, thus demonstrating the true meaning of the word. The Stars approve of your altruistic impulses.
Attending your responsibilities satisfies your soul. Remember, though, to keep some of that sparkling vitality for yourself while you are at it.
Look out next week for Imhotep's reading of Aries, Taurus and Gemini
