Horoscopes: Unmasking emotions By Imhotep Crabs, as people born under the Cardinal Water sign of Cancer (22 Jun-22 Jul) are sometimes called, are in the mood for beautiful words and soothing sounds and conversations about tender topics. Typical Cancerians want to be up close and personally involved with everyone. That goes double for your loved ones, my dear Crabs. However, even strangers will want to tell you their life story. Get ready to hear some astounding revelations. Spend your time, my dear Crabs, with those you consider just as beautiful on the inside as on the outside. Cancel all unimportant appointments. Spend your time, my dear Crabs, with those dearest to you. Your primary partner or best friend in the whole wide world will take a starring role in your life -- much to your delight and theirs as well. Christmas and the New Year are upon us. So what does the festive season have in store for sensitive Cancerians? Your emotions, my dear Crabs, are running on high at the moment -- and you're in for an explosive festive season. That means it will be so easy for you to express yourselves and even easier to find sympathetic listeners and kindred spirits. Anything less than a profound exchange will leave you cold this Christmas, my dear Cancerians. So if someone approaches you hoping to have some light conversation on New Year's Eve, better warn them in no uncertain terms: No fluff. Deep stuff only, please. December is a month when Lions, as people born under the Fixed Fire sign of Leo (23 Jul-22 Aug) are sometimes called, will be deeply drawn into affairs of the heart. You, my dear Lions, are going to have what can only be described as an emotional moment towards the end of the month -- probably because of someone you've only known for a little while. Even if you're totally fascinated and ready to begin an affair immediately, you really should take time and think this over carefully, my dear Lions. There's more to life than just excitement, hedonistic pleasures and being physically fulfilled. You'll be hard not to be noticed for the best of reasons during this festive season. Whether it is because you are trying to catch someone's eye -- or simply being yourselves. Lions love to lead the parade, anyway. It may not be easy to keep the plans you've made with lovers, friends or other playmates -- my dear Lions -- but if you're patient and you go along with the flow, you'll have a great time in the weeks ahead. Easy now, Lions. An exciting, fiery energy will push people born under the Mutable Earth sign of Virgo (23 Aug-22 Sep) into doing something that they've never thought they'd do during the festive season. Go on, try. You'll never look back. Whatever you're feeling, my dear Virgoans, will tumble from your mouths if you're not careful -- but that will work out just fine. It is important to liven things up a bit every now and then with an unexpected declaration -- and never more so than during the festive season. It's just your turn now, my dear Virgoans, to speak out loud and clear about your innermost feelings. You'll also raise some eyebrows in the weeks ahead. When all is said and done, one particular person will take up the majority of your time, energy and emotion. If you're exhausted, take some time out and away. Don't be so devoted, my dear Virgoans, that you forget about yourselves. But a word of warning. Don't even bother arguing with authority figures in your life. They'll have their arguments carefully prepared and effectively laid out. Your best defense, my dear Virgoans, is to retreat until you're equally prepared -- perhaps in the first two months of 2005. And Imhotep assures all Virgoans, the way you're feeling, it wouldn't take too long.
