Horoscopes: Revel in the unconventional By Imhotep You need to find a way to shut off your mind, my dear Rams as people born under the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries (21 Mar-21 Apr) are sometimes called, and access inward and spiritual resources that are just as valuable and even more so than the intellect. It is so easy to get caught up in the chatter of your ego. Try walking for long stretches, yoga or some physical activity that gives impetus to the spiritual side in you. It's time to get your body moving. Dancing, yoga and swimming are all activities that will help centre and soothe you. In fact, you might find all that movement helps you solve a weighty problem. Get yourself into the best physical condition to handle all the romantic intensity that's about to arrive in your life, courtesy of the stars. You really want to be fit for all the upcoming excitement. Imhotep knows all too well that the status quo seems silly, especially to such wise old souls such as the typical Rams. You recognise that there is enormous and untapped potential, both within you and the people around you. Push the boundaries. Be that as it may, tread lightly around a certain bossy type. That is a most difficult feat for a typical Ram, alas. Even if he or she isn't literally your boss, they could cause you some hassles if they feel irked by you. Right now, your best defence is to lie low and wait this time out. Please hold your tongue, my dear Ram, and for Heaven's sake, try to be restrained and self-possessed. There is nothing that can kill an innocent romance faster than offering lots of unsolicited advice, my dear Bulls, as people born under the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May) are sometimes called. Keep your mouth shut no matter what -- your special friend may only be looking for a listening ear. However, don't let shyness jeopardise what could be a bright romantic future between you and a new cutie. Learn how to speak in more direct, yet non-verbal ways. Think of how you can communicate without using words. Work on telepathy... it is easy. Give it a go. It's time to take a stand. Tell the universe you've learned your lesson and you're ready for romantic suitors who meet your high standards. Stick to your guns and you'll soon see results. On the other hand, if you are one of those Taureans who believe that they are in the wrong when it comes to a romantic mishap, step up to date the plate and apologise -- and do it with a sincere heart. Right now, nothing will clear the air faster than your good intentions and actions. It is easy to make a million promises, my dear Twins, as people born under the Mutable Air sign of Gemini (23 May-22 Jun) are sometimes called. But, are you willing to follow through on any of them? Be honest about your availability and your enthusiasm for the proposals people are sending your way. Ouch, my dear Twins, a run-in with an ex can be painful. Just make sure you don't do something silly, like offer to double date with them and their new partner. Be smart, my dear Twins, and protect your psychic space. You are in an especially inquisitive mood. Your love of intellectual stimulation will take on new meaning in the weeks ahead. Desire and mental games are destined to be inextricably intertwined in the weeks leading up to St Valentines. There is plenty of room to use your imagination. Dream on, or better still: play out your fantasies. Feel like something or someone is about to extinguish a fire between you and your latest crush? Don't try too hard to keep the flames alive. If it's meant to be, events will conspire in your favour. Still, what's on the surface isn't what really counts, especially when it comes to a certain person's actions. Their motives may be entirely different than their outward persona. Make sure you look at all the details. This, after all, is a strictly hands-off time for you, no matter how much you want to see what your associates and loved ones are doing. Let them finish the job in their own way. In the meantime relax. Look out next week for Imhotep's reading of Cancer, Leo and Virgo
