Horoscopes: Payoffs and pleasantries You put the fun back into funny towards the end of August when your wit takes centre stage, my dear Sea Goats, as people born under the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn (22 Dec -22 Jan) are sometimes called. There is some kind of payoff for staying in this situation, otherwise you wouldn't be so reluctant to move away from it. Be honest with yourself about where you are and why. That small mental shift could put real change in motion. Press on. Sea Goats have big plans, in the weeks ahead, but are hesitant about going ahead with their carefully thought-out schemes. The details of your plans are getting a bit hazy in your minds at the moment. Don't worry, once you put your heart to it, you can work wonders. Ready or not, it is all going to pour out of you now. Every emotion, every word, everything you've ever thought you should mention but didn't ... and all to keep the peace. Good for you. Don't feel bad about it. Speak your mind. Your instinct tells you to get straight to the heart of the matter. Please do. Yes, Imhotep realises that you feel trapped, anchored in one spot and unable to move forward. Be patient. New openings shall unravel in late August. Step up and say what is on your mind as only you can, my dear Water Bearers, as people born under the Fixed Air sign of Aquarius (23 Jan-19 Feb) are sometimes called. There are a few people in the audience who are quite interested in what you have to say. Regardless of how you feel about accepting assistance, you really should allow friends and family to help you. It is your turn to be pampered. In the meantime, go camping or go on some other retreat that refreshes your body and soul. Communications is definitely favoured now -- and if it is the romantic variety -- even better. Telling someone special how they really are and how much you feel for them is vitally important at the moment. Tell it to them in words, in writing, or even singing -- just tell them how much you care. It is great that you are so motivated to resolve all your romantic issues at once, but is that really possible? Actually, is it even desirable? Instead, find someone who laughs at your jokes and makes you laugh, too. Engage with the love of your life even more now by exercising your powers of communication. Indeed, you need not even reach out for people -- they'll come to you. Without even trying, you will be the entertaining member of any group in the weeks ahead. People will be intrigued by you, my dear Water Bearers, so take advantage of the attention and cultivate some key relationships you've been thinking about. Few have your ability to be truly vulnerable, my dear Dolphins, as people born under the Mutable Water sign of Pisces (20 Feb -21 Mar) are sometimes called, and to see the strength that comes with revealing all parts of yourself. You are sure of your inner strength, so be proud of who you are and how you can relate to others people. Not many have that gift. Just in the nick of time, someone will give you the opportunity to invest all that energy you're feeling in an entirely different type of activity than what you were using it for. So smile, laugh and be pleasant. No more bickering and bad-mouthing. Go easy on anyone who innocently suggests that you make contact with an old flame now -- or even just an old friend you're not in the mood to speak with. It is time to focus on those around you. Reconsider your old positions when it comes to love. Before you make a choice put a hold on any decisions and examine what's been going on and where you want to go. Being honest when it comes to romance is brave. If you are involved in a situation that you know is holding you back from meeting someone who belongs in your life, do the courageous thing and break it off.
