By Imhotep Please stay put this week, my dear Rams, as people born under the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries (21 Mar-21 Apr) are sometimes called. Or at least curtail your commute and communication. That's optimal for you now even though you have plenty of restless, nervous energy. The good news is that you can be pretty productive staying put. You are having a hard time believing your eyes, my dear Bulls, as people born under the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May) are sometimes called. Indulge in introspection for a while in the days ahead. See if you can get your friends to chill out while you process the curious information that is coming your way at a rapid chip. Don't be afraid to move some money around fast, my dear Twins, as people born under the Mutable Air sign of Gemini (23 May-22 Jun) are sometimes called. You just have to remember that things are up in the air. You are a normally genial person, but this week you will have to be bellicose and belligerent to get your way. You may feel a little overwhelmed by this week's schedule, my dear Crabs, as people born under the Cardinal Water sign of Cancer (22 Jun-22 Jul) are sometimes called. But there is not much you can move around. Try to get some support from the right people. Don't, however, try to herd friends into politically impervious lobbying blocs. If you are looking for a high-flying academic career or some professional breakthrough that involves deep thinking now is the time to step up and make it happen, my dear Lions, as people born under the Fixed Fire sign of Leo (23 Jul-22 Aug) are sometimes called. The onus is now on overreaching mental capacities. Intelligence unbound beckons. You are a wellspring of creative energy right now, my dear Virgoans, as people born under the Mutable Earth sign of Virgo (23 Aug-22 Sep) are sometimes called. Expect those around you to share in your good fortune. But don't overdo things. Take it easy when you can afford to. Try not to be too competitive for the time being. Fleeing for the paradise you have in mind in despair with an impossible situation will not make it go away, my dear Scales, as people born under the Cardinal Air sign of Libra (23 Sep-23 Oct) are sometimes called. Whether you are chained to your desk or running a neighbourhood haunted house is immaterial. You need to perfect the balancing act. You shouldn't worry about poor communications or missteps, my dear Eagles, as people born under the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio (24 Oct-23 Nov) are sometimes called. The next few days are perfect for making decisions of all kinds, especially those that affect your future in new ways. Do something special for yourself and enjoy the results. Your money situation is a little soft lately, my dear Centaurs, as people born under the Mutable Fire sign of Sagittarius (24 Nov-23 Dec) are sometimes called. You have lost sight of your long-term financial goals. Take time to focus your efforts on making money. Don't let money matters bog you down. You are a free spirit. Make the most of independence. You have been dealing with an emotional barnacle for some time now, my dear Sea Goats, as people born under the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn (22 Dec-22 Jan) are sometimes called. If you are looking for true love now is the time to discover what it takes. Sacrifice is always difficult, but sometimes it is a crucial necessity. After weeks of trying desperately to be good in the finance department and pretty much nailing it, my dear Water Bearers, as people born under the Fixed Air sign of Aquarius (23 Jan-19 Feb) are sometimes called, you find yourself short of funds. You are destined for experiences that don't necessarily entail money matters this week. You may not feel like a muse but that is exactly how you are operating this week, my dear Dolphins, as people born under the Mutable Water sign of Pisces (20 Feb-21 Mar) are sometimes called. Focus on your immediate goals, bearing the long-term goals in mind, too. You'll do swimmingly if you use that intuition you are famous for.
