Horoscopes: Know yourself

Horoscopes:
Know yourself
By Imhotep
You are in a pretty good mood these days, Sea Goats, as people born under the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn (22 Dec-22 Jan ) are sometimes called. And, you do deserve a break. Leaving the office early isn't just for wimps, my dear Capricornians. Please take note of Imhotep's warning. Health concerns are on the horizon. You seem to become physically ill more than you should these days. Don't worry about the feeling of utter exhaustion that sometimes overwhelms you. It is simply a warning that your body needs rest.
You simply must accept that you cannot always face the stresses and the strains of your job, my dear Sea Goats. So, take it easy.
Maybe it is time to get out of the rat-race and go work on a farm or become a life-guard on some remote stretch of beach. It's not a long-term solution, but it's well worth a try. There is a rising risk of disease from doing nothing about your situation. Don't work yourself to death. You can decide about all this for yourself next weekend.
The clock is ticking for Water Bearers as people born under the Fixed Air sign of Aquarius (23 Jan-19 Feb) are sometimes called. A time bomb is waiting to explode. Only you can diffuse it.
And, a note of warning for Aquarians this September: you'll have to make a little go a long way. Water-Bearers are notorious for their unexpected swings of mood. But whatever their faults, Aquarians cannot be accused of being dull and unimaginative. Water Bearers are gregarious creatures, even when they do not have much to celebrate.
Aquarians do not share the Pisceans' rather relaxed view of matrimonial betrayal, but they can be pretty playful themselves. A typical Aquarian will never discuss fidelity. Very wise, indeed.
September is a month when some Water Bearers will feel ill-at-ease in personal relationships. A typical Aquarian will be tempted to indulge in fantasies and might conjure up wild schemes in the middle of the month.
Aquarians do not share the Capricornians great respect for authority. They speak their minds and are prone to clash with both boss and underling when in a bad mood.
Next time you speak to the boss, be careful what you say. Express your feelings, but do it with tact. Think of a resourceful way to keep evil at bay.
By the second week of September, Aquarians will be running into problems they have not anticipated. The Water Bearers will try to keep things as normal as possible. Few others will notice how adverse the situation is.
By the end of the month, there will be one or two news items to cheer up even the most depressed Water Bearer. With their world brightened up, Aquarians can expect merriment and excitement.
Women born under the Mutable Water sign of Pisces (20 Feb-21 Mar) often make great agony aunts. And friends and family will confide in them this September. But, they must be careful not to get too overwhelmed by the cries of help. Don't waste pity on the undeserved. Don't go too easy on those who need some discipline. Try not to let people walk all over you.
September is a month when unscrupulous people will try and take advantage of you and your good nature.
Pisceans test the waters of affection gingerly. They are non-committal and cannot be pinned down. There is nothing a Piscean loathes more than a loveless affair, but sometimes they are prone to take lovers out of bitter revenge for an earlier betrayal.
Pisceans, Imhotep advises, should reflect on what they believe and trust. They should strive hard not to fall below their high standards.
September is a month when Pisceans will experience something of a spiritual uplift. A sea- change in the thinking of Pisceans towards a former lover, business partner or colleague at work will be epitomised by a typical Piscean determination to bury all the bad feelings of the distant past. Pisceans know how to forgive and forget.
Look out next week for Imhotep's reading of Aries, Taurus and Gemini
