Horoscopes: A passionate moon By Imhotep Crabs, as people born under the Cardinal Water sign of Cancer (22 Jun-22 Jul) are sometimes called are practical people in spite of their reputation as dreamers. But, Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and Cancerians are very strongly influenced by the Moon. Crabs can be moody. The Moon, in astrological parlance, stands for emotions. Deep emotions, passion. There is, my dear Cancerians, a distinct possibility that you might rekindle an old flame in the weeks ahead. Crabs do not wear their hearts on their sleeves. It is very difficult for others to tell what the secretive Cancerians think. In September, Crabs would be well-advised to keep their innermost thoughts to themselves. This particular character trait will stand you in good stead this September. Crabs are daydreaming poets even though they often fancy themselves to be rational scientists. In October, Cancerians must not dream on. The social acumen and conversational skills of the Crabs are some of their most important assets. But please, my dear Crabs, don't divulge any information and don't gossip. October bears good tidings so don't ruin the fun. Take heed of these warnings. Lions, as people born under the Fixed Fire sign of Leo (23 Jul-22 Aug) are ruled by the Sun. Some Lions think that they are the centre of the universe. By late September, some Lions will have good reason to believe otherwise. Lions are seldom good judges of character. They must take extra care to choose their friends carefully in October. Friends and family might offer lots of advise and assistance. But don't count on them. That does not mean you have to make decisions in isolation or that you have to do everything yourself. Just watch what you say, and how you say it. So-called "friends" will slander you behind your back. But, they dare not utter a word to your face. Don't be picky, my dear Lions. Someone you love dearly may push you in a certain direction, but there's only one way to handle it, and in your hearts of hearts you know it. Be understanding, be patient and remember what you mean to each other. Don't remember the difficult moments in your relationship. Don't let horrible thoughts haunt you. That's all water under the bridge now. Change is in the air for people born under the Mutable Earth sign of Virgo (23 Aug-22 Sep). October, and especially so towards the middle of the month, is a time when you can better appreciate the beauty in your life, my dear Virgoans. Your life will take on a new turn. At first change might appear to be perplexing, not quite what you imagined it to be. Humility is not something that comes naturally to a Virgo. In October, there will be many humbling experiences for people born to this Sun sign. So curb your pride, my dear Virgoans. Stop playing the stoic clown. And stop blaming others for your misfortunes. Examine your motives more closely. Perhaps, you made one of your blithe comments, and hurt someone close and dear. Please do not ride roughshod over the sensitivities of others. Don't jump to conclusions. You must have misread the instructions or even the rules of the game. Try starting again with a clean slate. Some problems continue to dog you even with the changes you've made in your life. Don't lose any sleep over it. Love is in the air. Romance will catch up with you, my dear Virgoans. And don't get worked up about getting bruised again. You shall escape without a scratch, because this time the heavens pronounce it to be true love.
