Horoscopes: Missing ingredients By Imhotep Your impassioned public eloquence, my dear Sea Goats, as people born under the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn (22 Dec-22 Jan) are sometimes called, will save many lives. Reading the little details that tell you about the bigger picture is of vital importance. There is a new optimism in the air, and you are part of it. You have been through the familiar cycle from euphoria through betrayal and depression. You are no longer hobbled by the deadweight of the past. Now that you are seeing things more clearly, luck's suddenly on your side -- funny how that works. It is by just opening your eyes, you are able to draw great experiences and greater people to you. Roadblocks, delays and last minute turnarounds make Sea Goats go crazy. And, especially when you are already feeling a bit on the vulnerable side. If they happen along now, though, you'll handle them just fine with your secret weapon: optimism. Indeed, the two missing ingredients, my dear Sea Goats are love and optimism. Give and be generous and hope for the best. Don't forget that you got where you are through opportunity... and conviction. You encapsulate all that is possible, my dear Sea Goats. Avoid, at all costs, a grandiose sense of self-importance. You, my dear Water Bearers, as people born under the Fixed Air sign of Aquarius (23 Jan-19 Feb) are sometimes called, have swallowed every half- baked nostrum thrown at you. Only, to be told that a better one is on its way. Imhotep knows that you have suffered long enough. Press on. You, my dear Water Bearers believe that when thousands of like-minded people refuse to look away and stay silent they make a difference to what the people in power do and say. It is an Alice-in-Wonderland world of improbable statistics. The process of rediscovering yourself after a couple of weeks in limbo is fun. But, it can also be somewhat disorienting. Spend time with a close friend who knows you better than anyone else. Please don't become susceptible to the poisonous blandishments of family and fake friends. They want you to bend over backwards for their own selfish ends. And, they are unwilling to apply the logic of their arguments to themselves. You must make them listen to what you have to say and to consider your own interests for a change. That has been the missing ingredient. If you've hit an impasse, don't assume that things are over. Sometimes when things seem like a dead end, there's only one direction to move -- and that is up. Your luck is about to turn, my dear Water Bearers. A dramatic change is in order at your workplace, my dear Dolphins, as people born under the Mutable Water sign of Pisces (20 Feb-21 Mar) are sometimes called. This could mean more money, more responsibility, a bigger office or all three. It might mean something as drastic as a change of locale. Whatever it is, you are up for it. Temper the outrageous with the realistic and tell the powers that be what you need from your job. You might be surprised and delighted at their response. They've been observing all your hard work. As practically as a professional dreamer, you are more in touch with realms beyond reality than most. Right now the dream world has something to tell you about the realm of romance as it relates to your future. Whose your mentor in the realm of romance? What? You don't have one? Think of the wisest, happiest-in-love person you know. Make them your confidante, your personal adviser or just role model. Apply your ample creative powers to the realm of romance now, my dear Dolphins, and you'll get fabulous results. Think of a fresh, interesting or downright odd way to meet people. Love presents its own challenges, a preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success. And, least I forget: Travel is in the air, my dear Dolphins.
