Colorful Horoscopes

CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19)

Did you know that goldfish have memories of about three seconds. That means that every time they pass through the little plastic castle, it is, for them, the first time. You can learn quite a lesson from the tiny carps: Over the next few days, don't count on anything, and don't take anything for granted. Give up all your dreams and long-held conclusions about how the Universe works. If you can adopt an attitude of openness and innocence, you will find joy in odd and mysterious places.

AQUARIUS (Jan.20 -Feb.18)

You return to square one, and you find yourself back as you were when you were a kid. Haven't you learned anything after all this time? Believe it or not, you are really an old pro at this particular "game" that you are playing, and the more you are willing to believe in your abilities, the more progress you will make.

PISCES (Feb.19-Mar.20)

Just because things are in a certain place right now, that doesn't mean that they'll be exactly as they are in another week -- let alone in another month. Things are changing, and they're changing much faster than they ever did for your parents and grandparents. Thus, it's up to you to take control of what you can and recognize what issues can't be forced.

ARIES (Mar.23-Apr.19)

While you are usually in favor of rugged individualism, you will do well to turn on your charm and become a team player. Don't go it alone for the next few days. If you do, you could run into trouble by straying into the wrong place at the wrong time. If you don't have the perfect person on call, ready to hold your hand and provide moral support on all levels, then you need to find somebody who is less than perfect but trustworthy.

TAURUS (Apr.20-May.20)

Right now you know there are two paths available to take. While the choice may look rather easy, you need to be wary. Consider that if you can't get what you want by being upfront and forthright, perhaps you need to back off and start working on something else. Trying to manipulate that other person may get you what you want in the short term, but the long-term consequences will be destructive.

GEMINI (May.21-Jun.20)

Don't chase your tail any more than you have to. And how much do you have to? Well, the answer to that question may be rather obvious. If you're going to try to recapture the person whom you were way back when, you may be expending a lot of energy for very little gain. Perhaps it's time you concentrated on building new feelings of happiness and respect. There is new terrain to be explored. You need to think about creating a prosperous and sound future rather than correcting the past.

CANCER (Jun.21-Jul.22)

Making your point will involve much more than figuring out what you want to say and to whom you need to say it. You need to communicate in ways that will be well received. Right now, everybody is wallowing in their own melodramas, so this may be no small feat. The key is to be responsive and to say the right thing in the right way at the right time. It may take a couple of tries to get it right, so you need to be patient. Make sure you're not merely hearing what you want to hear.

LEO (Jul.23-Aug.22)

Are you getting tired of arguing with yourself lately? It seems that what you want and what you need are two very different things right now. You want paradise and a rose garden and someone to hold hands with. What you need, however, is someone who will accept you for what you are and not for what they expect you to be. Don't let yourself be fooled by appearances. What that other person says they're willing to give may change when they find out what you're hoping to receive.

VIRGO (Aug.23-Sep.22)

You may not be on the same wavelength with the rest of the world, especially when it comes to emotional expressions from the very core of your being. If you cannot get the other person to understand what you're saying with words, then you need to employ other means of communication. Be sure that you've laid a good foundation before you build the proverbial skyscraper.

LIBRA (Sep.23-Oct.22)

Are you feeling that you are the rope in the tug-of-war? Money and love seem to be vying for your attention, and neither seems to be willing to give up without a fight. Thus, much of the burden of choice needs to be resolved by either your wisdom or your decision to take control. You can either cut a few corners and compromise with each or you can shortchange one of them. Or else you can put your brain and your negotiation skills in high gear and figure out a way in which one can serve the other.

SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov.21)

You feel that you've been down this road before, and that it will only lead to bad places. And while the scenery may look rather familiar, the simple truth is that you're different than you were back then, and thus the road is different as a result. Rest assured: A bridge is revealing itself slowly but surely. It begins on the firm ground of reality and extends into the fog of fantasy. Dare you begin crossing it? The answer is an unequivocal and enthusiastic 'yes!'

SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22-Dec.21)

While you needn't push everything that is important to you to the back burner, you can forget about a few desires, at least for now. Forget about coming out on top, making a profit or seeing your name in lights. In fact, you should consider abandoning all that you've been working for, especially in the arena of professional development. Right now, it seems the more freely you give, the more you will gain. This means that you should bend a little.
