Horoscopes: Banishing demons

Horoscopes:
Banishing demons
By Imhotp
Sea Goats, as people born under the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn (22 Dec-22 Jan) are sometimes called, have a tendency to dig their heels in when confronted with unexpected change.
In September Sea Goats will have to undergo many changes in their lives. They don't appreciate being pushed around. But interaction with authority figures or older people might not run smoothly in September. A clash of interests is a distinct possibility. A confrontation, probable. Sea Goats will be banishing the demons before them, and within themselves. It's a battle, dear Sea Goats, that you cannot afford to lose.
Sea Goats accomplished a great deal in August. Russian gymnastics star Svetlana Khorkina, a Capricorn, wowed spectators at the Athens Olympics. And so did Swedish cyclist Magnus Backstedt, another Capricorn. Dutch rider Anky van Grunsven is another Sea Goat also performed splendidly at the Olympics games in Athens.
In September, however, Capricorns will face many challenges. Sea Goats are good at sizing up problems and coming up with solutions. In September, they'll be called upon to resolve difficult dilemmas.
Life might sometimes seem like a labyrinth with no exit for Water Bearers, as people born under the Fixed Air sign of Aquarius (23 Jan-19 Feb) are sometimes called. But, you're going to raise a few eyebrows, my dear Aquarians, over the next couple of weeks, and you'll probably enjoy it. Just don't get too carried away.
Prepare yourselves, my dear Aquarians, for some wonderful long-distance conversation. Someone you haven't seen in a very long time will cross your path in the weeks ahead. Someone who, believe it or not, is still carrying a torch for you. So what are you going to do about this person? Think hard.
Imhotep forecasts September to be a month full of uncanny coincidences for Aquarians. A surprise is due.
You are free, at last, to do whatever you want. But do you really want this much freedom? Let your instincts guide your actions.
Water Bearers will discover their powerful psychic capabilities in September. By the middle of the month, my dear Aquarians, you'll be fighting evil spirits and rescuing fallen angels.
And, Aquarians shall be winners in the arena of romance. Shallow relationships will be replaced by deeper feelings for someone, or something, special. Watch the intensity of emotional energy welling up inside you towards the end of the month.
People born under the Mutable Water sign of Pisces (20 Feb-21 Mar) are in a nostalgic mood, and not at all willing to do anything more strenuous than daydream, reminisce and sigh. Keep in mind, though, my dear Pisceans, that having equally sentimental company would be the most sensible way to indulge yourselves.
If you thought August was exciting, you ain't seen nothing yet. The heavens are still inspiring everyone around you to act impulsively on their feelings.
For Pisceans, close relationships will take on more emotional depth in September. Happily married couples will draw closer. Pre-nuptial romances will flourish more passionately than ever.
In the workplace, however, you'll have to be more assertive and more forward in your career decisions. As long as your thought stays there focussed on what's good, there is no room for fear or anything discordant.
August was a good month for Pisceans to perform wonders which is why the world witnessed a preponderance of Pisceans in the Olympic pools and track events. British diving hero Peter Waterfield, a Piscean, excelled in Athens and so did Dutch Pieter van den Hoogen, another Piscean. And in September, too, Pisceans will have all the drive and energy to accomplish impossible tasks.
Emotionally recharged, Pisceans are about to have the time of their lives. Your homes, my dear Pisceans, will turn into a most lively place over the next couple of weeks. By the end of September it will become impossible for you to keep your feelings to yourself. Your enthusiasm will be contagious. Why fight it? Spread the good vibes around.
Look out next week for Imhoep's reading of Aries, Taurus and Gemini
