Establish your own guidelines and avoid people trying to put you
through the paces. You may choose to opt out situations altogether.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Confidence rises and you thrive on life's challenges. Cancerians opt
for substance over style in an attempt to climb the ladder of success
or improve their image. After months of misfortune, your luck
returns.

potential, you lean towards successful people and steer clear of
losers. Moon in your sign emboldens you to convey opinions with
authority.

have taught you valuable lessons and now your newfound wisdom is put
to good use. Your quiet strength wins admiration from associates.

soon. All signs point towards progression in a project or personal
endeavour. Your cool head in heated situations keeps others calm.

the moment. Inferior rivals wilt in your shadow but you refuse to
gloat.

playing field. Rivalry bolsters your interest in situations and
nothing short of a win satisfies you. Your good-natured attitude
eases tension.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Compliance creates harmony and buys extra time. If people have
different ideas or methods to you, compose a clever argument but back
it with facts and figures. Research protects you from making
mistakes.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Anecdotal evidence is not foolproof but it gives you something to
work on. When putting forward an argument you can talk about
personal beliefs and second-hand stories but nothing beats factual
evidence.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
A worthy cause or disadvantaged person stirs your passion. The
healing planet Venus brings out your finest qualities and selfless
deeds are the order of the day. Others marvel at the depth of your
compassion.

YOUR DAY
Knee-jerk responses are followed by abrupt back-pedalling. The fiery
energy flares and fades quickly but basically there is no spite to
those reflex actions. The good news is creativity flourishes.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Responses vary from tough to tender. A softly-softly approach suits
certain situations and authoritarian action works for others. The
key to understanding is judging each set of circumstances on
individual merit.
