Tonight: Horoscopes

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

It seems that you now have no choice other than to accommodate yourself to the wishes of a certain someone so as to gain an advantage. Pay the piper for the time being - you will eventually manage to break that person's power over you.


Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Watch out for a jealous rival in the commercial sphere. Chances are that subversive tactics will be used against you. Keep your wits razor-sharp and stay calm, as you will not win through if you allow fear and confusion to grip you.


Gemini (May 21 - June 21)

There are times when you are thoughtless and impatient but this appears to be a round in which you could carry those traits to extremes. Unkind or tactless behaviour is unbecoming, and you could thereby bring about your own downfall.


Cancer (June 22 - July 22)

A time to closet yourself away from people in general. Make time for yourself or you will not get a chance to resolve personal difficulties. Other problems demand your attention but you ought to first get your own affairs sorted out.


Leo (July 23 - August 23)

Move one step at a time and make certain that each and every step is firm and sure. Much time might be wasted if your attitude is reckless and your plan is incomplete. Inattention to detail will trip you up and may be terribly costly.


Virgo (August 23 - Sepetmber 23)

Anxiety may haunt you in connection with fiscal matters. The solution to your worries is to be found in better money management. The problem will remain or even greatly escalate unless you become more economical with immediate effect.


Libra (September 23 - October 23)

Guard against getting caught up in illogical thinking and irrelevant matters. You must be entirely sensible and practical at this time - must focus on vital personal and worldly issues and resist the attractions of costly distractions.


Scorpio (October 24 - November 21)

If you cannot have fun in your own home, you can certainly have good times in other places. This could be a round in which a relative who habitually puts a damper on cheerful events gets to you. Do not allow your spirit to be stifled.


Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Your brash or nasty side might surface during this negative round; could cast you into disfavour with all and sundry in your environment. Bossy and demanding behaviour could actually seriously dent your image and upset your dreams.


Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Your work zone might be a rumour shop, considering what is being said and implied at this time. You are advised to accept only confirmed facts and figures; moreover, must not help to propagate rumours, which may stir up confusion.


Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Some of your closest companions are now apt to be sources of aggravation, and you are recommended to keep only your own company until the angst has departed from partnership and friendship. Do not permit others to meddle in your plans.


Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

You may be locked into your fixed and immobile mode at a time when you really need to be adaptable and flexible. You have a lot to gain by moving in tandem with the trend of this round - by matching its tempo with positive manoeuvres.
