Horoscopes: Love speaks softly Look out next week for Imhotep's reading of Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius You're not exactly the soul of frugality my dear Crabs, as people born under the Cardinal Water sign of Cancer (22 Jun-22 Jul) are sometimes called, so just don't get too crazy in December. Stay within your budget. Intense disagreement over money matters, however, might lead to a row with a close family member by the beginning of December. Take it easy. Moneywise, act like a thrifty, but risk- taking tycoon: be clever with your money and watch it grow. A dear friend is inching ever closer towards asking for a commitment. You've been thinking about it more and more, wondering how it will all work out. December, my dear Crabs, is a great month for promises that are to be kept forever. Still, you know you need to break down a few barriers before you can get closer to You Know Who. Women Cancerians might have an emotionally turbulent time in the weeks ahead. Don't venture out of the house, my dear Cancerians, if you're not armed and ready for emotional outbursts. Carry disposable tissues and your mobile phones just in case you need to reach out for your best friend at a moment's notice. Pour your hearts out to those who care to listen sympathetically. Cry buckets. Cry and don't hold back those tears. It'll do you plenty of good. You've always been good at expressing yourself, but by mid-December you'd be truly excellent at it. December is a month when Lions, as people born under the Fixed Fire sign of Leo (23 Jul-22 Aug), are sometimes called, will meet interesting people with a deliciously exotic air about them. Use these chance meetings to zoom ahead. You have the opportunity to redirect the course you're taking. Where do you want to go now? This is a rare opportunity for you. Grab it. Talk about single-minded -- you'll be absolutely impossible to tear away from your intended course of action throughout December. Don't let anyone even try to distract you. You know what you need to do and exactly how to get it done. Listen to your inner voice, keep vigil. The New Year is fast upon us, be prepared for a series of pleasant surprises. Far above the storms of life, you shall prosper and be happy. But it is a different kind of happiness than what you are accustomed to. December, however, comes loaded with fresh challenges for Lions in the arena of romance and affairs of the heart. Indeed, the month heralds lots of changes. December might be full of emotional challenges, but in other spheres of life the month will treat you kindly, my dear Lions. Live and let live. Occupied with home and hearth, people born under the Mutable Earth sign of Virgo (23 Aug-22 Sep) have plenty of house-cleaning opportunities in December. More than anything, my dear Virgoans, declutter your home. Throw out rubbish you've been hoarding and watch how your life changes for the better. You are, my dear Virgoans, thinking about making dramatic changes to your home. Go ahead. December makes for perfect timing. Treat yourself to something special. Your emotions will be right over the top, so doing something nice for yourself certainly couldn't hurt. That includes spending time with someone you love, of course. My dear Virgoans, what happens in December might be unexpected, but you'll quickly see that it could work out to your advantage. Don't try to control something which should be allowed a life of its own. December is a month when you shall live your life to the fullest. A celebration or festive occasion will surely gladden your heart towards the end of the month. Let go, let your feelings show and have some real fun. Your keen business sense has never been sharper. Closing a deal is a fine art. Keep family and friends out of your business. Tell them to mind their own business. The deal will be struck with a perfect stranger. Staying flexible is the key.
