Horoscopes: Fresh initiatives By Imhotep Talk about single-minded -- you'll be absolutely impossible to tear away from your intended course of action throughout September, my dear Scales, as people born under the Cardinal Air sign of Libra (23 September-23 October) are sometimes called. A small misunderstanding may flare up into a full-on fight with your partner or a close friend. So do your best to be as clear as you can be. If worst comes to worst, though, let nature take its course. Be strong. Children might shorten your fuse easily, but you must learn to be patient with the little ones. Imhotep counsels you to take a calm approach to difficult situations. Beware of testy impatience. Brooding resentment and self-pity will get you nowhere. A less self-centred approach to life might lead you to a happier state of affairs in September. Your life would then be full of fun and reverie. Summer is over, for all practical intents and purposes. Lay the foundation for future success by moving slowly. You have more time available than you think. Plan your next move carefully and examine your resources before you jump into anything. Assess your resources -- emotional, mental as well as financial. Let your creative side guide you through this phase of life. You might not be too sure what you're doing consciously, but the deepest part of you is dead certain what it wants. It may not be New Year quite yet, my dear Eagles, as people born under the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio (24 October-23 November) are sometimes called. But, that doesn't mean it is not the time to clear out old baggage and make way for new business. This is equally true in all areas of your life so don't neglect any project or person. Indeed, remember, the Coptic New Year, nawruz, is upon us. This is the ancient Egyptian festival of renewal at the height of the inundation of the eternal River Nile. Take heart, renew your spirit. Refreshing your soul is your birthright. Press on. 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. More than anything, my dear Eagles, declutter your home. Throw out rubbish you've been hoarding and watch how your life changes for the better. And by the way, is someone trying to rock your boat? It is up to you to figure out what is happening and why. Why do they feel the need to turn a smooth ride bumpy? Use your powers of observation before you start talking. September might be full of emotional challenges, my dear Eagles, but you are brimming with energy at the moment and ready for anything. But in other spheres of life the month will treat you kindly. Most Eagles will succeed in showing that they are worth their salt. You're not exactly the soul of frugality, my dear Archers, as people born under the Mutable Fire sign of Sagittarius (24 November- 23 December) are sometimes called. So just don't get too crazy by early September. Money-wise, act like a thrifty, but risk- taking tycoon. Be clever with your money and watch it grow. Ramadan is upon us, but that is no excuse to get into a buying spree. Try to be more attentive to the needs of others. Be more sensitive to the needs of those closest and dearest to you. A mildly tense domestic drama is in the offing, though, my dear Archers. Try to make peace, and you will be happy -- exceedingly happy. You are at your strongest on your own turf, and will make a seriously positive impression. Don't insist, but do make reconciliatory moves. With such indescribable happiness will come a great deal of satisfaction and an overpowering feeling of warmth and affection for others. No one can snatch your newfound happiness away from you in the weeks ahead. And, money does not buy happiness. Love guarantees bliss.
