Horoscopes: Bright promise

Horoscopes:
Bright promise
By Imhotep
You have the soul of a poet, my dear Scales, as people born under the Cardinal Air sign of Libra (23 Sep-23 Oct) are sometimes called. You are able to see the underlying connections and the subtleties that other people just gloss over. You know that human nature is basically good, even when times seem to indicate otherwise. You are visionary.
There is a faulty point in someone's plan, and while you see it clearly, everyone around you insists on turning a blind eye. Even if they claim it's no big deal, stand your ground and insist on taking another look. Stop working so hard to bring about the resolution that you think needs to happen, my dear Scales, and let the situation resolve itself. Sure going out with a crowd can be fun, but right now a big entourage just obscures your own star power and slows you down. You are much more approachable and you stand out gloriously going solo.
Laugh till it hurts, my dear Eagles, as people born under the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio (24 Oct-23 Nov) are sometimes called, especially if you are dealing with a recent upset or disappointment. Once you're able to laugh at the situation, you'll be able to view the events and the people involved with detachment.
Next stop: forgiveness. You need to spend more time doing the things you love and less time fretting over irritating business.
You excel at keeping up connections and never more so than right now. Your friends know they can count on you to whip up a last- minute extravaganza or come riding to the rescue during a social crisis.
A friend in need is a friend indeed, but even if they are asking for honest opinion about their love life, is that what they truly need? Be gentle and supportive. They've got to make their own choices.
Watch out, Eagles, for the evil eye. Others are green with envy as you seem to have it all. You can ward off the evil eye, dear Scorpions, by launching a charm offensive.
Try to be more attentive to the needs of others, especially those who are not as fortunate as you. Also, be more sensitive to the needs of those closest and dearest to you. A mildly tense domestic drama is in the offing, though, towards the middle of May. At the workplace, too, your authority will be challenged and your patience will be tested to the limit. Stay strong.
It is hard to resist when an opportunity to play Cupid presents itself, my dear Archers, as people born under the Mutable Fire sign of Sagittarius (24 Nov-23 Dec) are sometimes called. But, do those involved really want, or need, your arrows piercing them?
Perhaps there is a very subtle way to put this urge to play Cupid in motion. All your major problems will be resolved if you can just let yourself trust the powers inherent in the universe -- both on Earth and in the Heavens. Somebody thinks they know what's best for you when it come to your love life now, and you're resisting with all your might. But there may be a grain of truth to what they're saying.
Keeping your options open and your heart's goals realistic and your romantic expectations flexible is the way to go now. Something or someone comes along at a surprising moment.
A bracing experience, my dear Archers, will get you back in touch with your innate sixth sense and with the more intuitive awareness side of your natures.
A lost object will unexpectedly be found.
