Horoscopes: Bouncing back You are eager, my dear Rams, as people born under the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries (21 Mar-21 Apr) are sometimes called, even if no one else shows much enthusiasm. Don't miss any sleep over other people's sluggishness. Whip them into line. Let them get in line when they see what they are missing. You, my dear Rams, have the foresight. And, you know it. The second half of January bestows many blessings on people born under the Sun sign of Aries. Most people around you, my dear Rams, aren't expecting you to shape things up. But, once you get their attention, make your point in the most dramatic and creative way you can. Getting up close and personal with someone you just adore will be easy as pie -- and probably unavoidable, my dear Rams. Don't shy away from exchanging promises. Rest assured they'd be kept. The last week of January is very special. If you've been waiting to take that last giant step towards intimacy -- whether it's emotional, spiritual or physical -- wait no longer. Turn down the lights and reveal your deepest feelings. Imhotep predicts true happiness and self-fulfilment for people born under the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May). The weeks ahead are full of promise. People remember you as the person you used to be, my dear Bulls -- as Taurean are often called. You should be able to change your image in 2005. Stay true to yourself, whatever alterations you make. And, remember that some things about you will never change. If you've been pacifying someone, and feeling you've let it go on for a tad too long, consider applying the brakes. Tap them a few times before you come to a complete stop -- but do stop. The person who offered you so many options a month or two ago now pressures you for a decision. Take your time, think and re-think before you give an answer. Keep your ears open, my dear Taureans, for someone who'll express an extremely different point of view than most people you know. They'll fascinate you and maybe intimidate you a little, but you'll definitely learn something in the process. This looks like a no-win situation only because you chose to see it in terms of winning and losing. It's a hungry world and supplies are limited. You, my dear Taureans, must demand your share of the cake. However you slice the January pie, you'll get a bigger share. Enemies would be happy to see you fail, my dear Twins, as people born under the Mutable Air sign of Gemini (23 May-22 Jun) are sometimes called. In the end, you are the one who'll decide whether your boat will float or sink. Friends wish you well, but their own business keeps them from getting involved. Enemies, on the other than, will busy themselves in your personal and professional affairs. Suddenly, competition feels like a fine idea my dear Twins. Your thirst to learn anything and everything you possibly can, regardless of the subject matter, will be relentless by late January. Make sure your library card is current, and prepare to spend lots of time sleuthing. Nothing brings applause like responsible behaviour. Do your best to take care of others. If this means burning the candle at both ends, set aside and tend the home fire instead. The future matters more than ever. You're running on empty. Slow down before you have an accident. If you must keep going, fill the next few weeks with simple, unimportant things. In the best of all worlds, you'd step back from the edge and sit down. Exactly what were you expecting to happen in January my dear Twins? Reshape your beliefs into something better suited for the real world and something might happen. It's never easy but always worth trying.
