Horoscopes: Keeping cool By Imhotep In this critical time, my dear Sea Goats, as people born under the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn (22 Dec-22 Jan) are sometimes called, keeping your nerve is key to getting what you want and deserve. It may take more effort than you initially thought it would require, but take heart -- after all, anything worth having takes sacrifice. Press on. You have been taxed to the limits, but you will see all your efforts pay off in the very near future. Soon you will find yourself in the position that was meant to be yours all along -- but now you are fully equipped to handle it. Someone who has been blending in with the wallpaper could suddenly stand out now. Try looking at those around you from a fresh perspective -- the one you've been seeking could be right there. You've got lots of energy when it comes to the love department now, but you are a bit of a loose cannon. Direct your firepower where it will get results -- follow up on an existing flirtation. It may be tempting to settle for a close facsimile of what your heart's looking for. And, you don't want to be too critical, but you know you're fully equipped to handle it. Go ahead, try your luck. Be a leader, my dear Water Bearers, as people born under the Fixed Air sign of Aquarius (23 Jan-19 Feb) are sometimes called, but an unobtrusive one. You have the ability to truly influence people's hearts and minds, but from behind the scenes. Let others think the good ideas were their own. You can do a lot of good this way. And, you do want to make good, don't you? A certain situation is trying your patience, but just when you think you can't take it anymore, you get a second celestial wind. The stars even let you see some humour in what's going on, and that makes all the difference. Strike while the iron is hot, my dear Dolphins, as people born under the Mutable Water sign of Pisces (20 Feb-21 Mar) are sometimes called, especially when it comes to professional matters. Your hard work, experience and stellar reputation will help put you in the driving seat, and you will leave the rest of the competition in the dust. Your imagination is an amazing gift when things aren't quite to your liking, you're able to envision an alternative world to escape to. What's more, you glean inspiration from your mental wanderings to improve your reality. Dream on, Dolphins. The month of May may find you in a fantasy world of your own making, and you should enjoy it as much as possible. By mid-May, especially, when it comes to your love life, you are uncharacteristically for a Piscean, going to analyse with the keen eye of an accountant. And the hits just keep on coming. These days, you can do no wrong. Even your mistakes end up looking like strokes of improvised genius. Enjoy this sweet period of success and store up points for the future. A moon as great as this is for going on from height to height. Reach for the stars, my dear Dolphins. A special date doesn't come along every month. So make haste while the stars are shining bright right on you. Enjoy the spotlight. Dress a little sexier than usual. Strut your stuff. Even a small change, a new hairstyle, a new pair of shoes, walking in a different way to work, adopting a different attitude to the office, keeping office politics at bay, agreeing on a coffee date with a friend you haven't seen for a long time... whatever. Give your heart a happy new attitude and a new direction to go in, too. Be happy, the world is your oyster.
