Horoscopes: The food of love

Horoscopes:
The food of love
By Imhotep
You are not really for public displays of affection my dear Crabs, as people born under the Cardinal Water sign of Cancer (22 Jun- 22 Jul) are sometimes called. Instinctively, you prefer to keep the public well out of your private affairs. That might not be possible at this particular moment -- but strangely enough these days you don't really mind sharing your private bliss with others. Happiness, after all, is meant to be shared.
Sheer emotional torrents would be released in the weeks ahead my dear Crabs. Love is in the air, and you demand romantic fulfilment. Amorous abandon is your inalienable right, my dear Crabs.
You can be brazen about it if you need to be, but a soft touch is far better. Truly entitled people take what's theirs without announcing it. Anyone could do this, but luckily for you, the stars decree that its your turn.
Ruled by the Moon, Crabs are among the most sentimental and sensual of creatures. And, mind you, a casual glance that lasts a bit too long will set your heart aflutter in mid-May.
Expect a pleasant and romantic evening by the middle of May. You're destined, my dear Crabs, to enjoy a tender meeting of like minds over a delicious repost and luscious music. And God knows, you my dear Crabs are in the mood for beautiful words and soothing sounds and conversations about tender topics.
Deep inside you don't really give a damn about what people say about you. But, you do want to know what your loved ones make of you.
Throughout May, half-formed thoughts will race through the minds of people born under this most impressionable of Sun sign.
An exciting, fiery energy will grip Lions, as people born under the Fixed Fire sign of Leo (23 Jul-22 Aug) are sometimes called, into doing something that they've never thought they'd do before by mid-May.
Go on, try. You'll never look back. Firey? Impulsive? Who are you my dear Lions? Not ordinarily. Lions are level-headed creatures, but there are exceptions to every rule... and you, my dear Lions, are due for one right now. This exception may last for a while, so you might want to warn your friends now.
Imhotep sees your hearts swelling with pride my dear Lions in the weeks ahead. Even though, a clash between the desire for emotional security and a desperate need for creative expression awaits you my dear Lions in May. You will be forced to retire into your den. But, the need for communication and, yes I repeat, creative expression, shall take hold of you.
Eat and be merry. Forget about your figure. The Lions shall enjoy healthy appetites in the weeks ahead. For food, is indeed, the shortest cut to a man's heart as many a Lioness knows. But Lionesses, too, shall reserve a seat for themselves at the Banquet of Plenty that awaits them in May.
People born under the Mutable Earth sign of Virgo (23 Aug-22 Sep) are a sensitive lot. Even so, don't you dare, my dear Virgoans, let anyone put a damper on the fine mood you are in -- especially that one particular individual who's world famous for his ability to find the dark lining on any silver cloud.
Virgoans can be moody and impressionable. Brace yourselves, my dear Virgoans, for especially emotional weeks ahead.
Just a few more weeks and you will be free from responsibility, and most importantly, from the pessimistic comments of a certain person who seems bent on ruining your happiness.
Whatever you're feeling my dear Virgoans will tumble from your mouths if you're not careful -- but that will work out just fine.
Ready to whisper a secret in the ear of someone you love? You'd better be, because they're just waiting to hear what you have to say. They are also ready, willing and completely able to make a commitment -- yes, contrary to your worst expectations my dear Virgoans.
