Horoscopes: Secrets of success By Imhotep All your personal encounters will take on a tone of intensity and passion now, my dear Rams, as people born under the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries (21 Mar- 21 Apr) are sometimes called. Even ordinarily casual acquaintances will suddenly seem to want more from you. Think about what you're getting into before you step up. That higher-up person who's been grilling you lately is on your mind. Relax. Go easy on them. They're already returning the favour. They may even be overlooking certain shortcomings to bump you up a step or two. So be nice. Just in case. Still mad about last month? It might be time to let go, if for no other reason than to relieve yourself of this unnecessary burden. You don't need this, and you know it. Wiggle out of it. Don't worry, be happy. Also, be more sensitive to the needs of those closest and dearest to you. A mildly tense domestic drama is in the offing, though, my dear Rams. At the workplace, too, your authority will be challenged and your patience will be tested to the limit my dear Rams. Fear not, thank your lucky stars. Your mission now is to figure out how to cover your tracks and keep smiling. Rams will be called upon to prove their mettle. Most Rams will succeed in showing that they are worth their salt. Mind you. Try to be more attentive to the needs of others, especially those who are not as fortunate as you. A very sexy visitor will cross your path soon my dear Bulls, as people born under the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May) are sometimes called. If not this week, then within the next month. February is dynamite for sensual Taureans. Once they arrive, lots of things will have to change. Your organised schedule, for one. Not that you mind, of course. You're in for a bit more excitement of the entirely surprising variety. Unexpected news is on the agenda for at least the next three weeks. You may need to keep it a secret, but for a delightful reason. Keeping a secret quiet now may be tough, but it will be the best thing you ever did for yourself, and for all parties concerned. And, isn't it more exciting anyway? It's not that you just adore secrets, my dear Bulls, although you do. Right now, they'll be coming your way from all directions. Prepare yourself to keep these top secrets entirely to yourself. Slow fades are worse than sudden endings, my dear Twins, as people born under the Mutable Air sign of Gemini (23 May-22 Jun) are sometimes called. You have plenty of time to worry about your final gesture. Split the difference. Do something that seems appropriate for now, and work on your other plans and good ideas for next time. A sincere effort may be sloppy. You'll know when you've gone far enough. Outside guidance is welcome, although you'll never learn if you lean too much on others. This is the first stage of becoming an expert, my dear Twins. That means that you must not make big decisions in isolation, nor that you have to do everything yourself. You know that you are passing through a critical phase of your life. But remember, dear Twins, that each successive stage of existence unfolds more goodness and love. Children might short your fuse easily in the weeks ahead, but you must learn to be patient with the little ones, Imhotep counsels you to take a calm approach to difficult situations. Beware of testy impatience. A less self-centred approach to life might lead you to a happier state of affairs in February. Your life would then be full of fun and reverie.
