HOROSCOPE: Your stars today

Be prepared for romance. A loved one might meet all your romantic expectations and briefly be placed upon a pedestal. You can perform well in the public arena and enjoy a dreamy interlude tonight.

You attract admiring glances. Your independent streak could make you seem daring and exotic. People are more than willing to work with you because they assume you know what you’re talking about.

Increase your income by using common sense. You can easily grasp deep subjects and concepts. Even if you aren’t in the mood for lighthearted chats, a measure of small talk may be essential to your success.

You might not need a genie in a lamp to grant your wishes for more financial stability. You could be made aware of an array of subtle influences that affect your key relationships.

Facts are based on real and provable things, but your fantasies can be as good as you make them. Someone you meet or something you see could inspire you to learn more about a subject that raises your spirits.

Now is the time to investigate before you buy. To own the very best products, you may need to be careful about your purchases. A pretty package might cause an inferior feature to be overlooked.

You could be misled by casual assurances from co-workers or friends who are anxious to please. Though they likely have the best of intentions, it’s still important to cut through to the truth.

Lavish your loved ones with affection in imaginative ways. Your enthusiasm can be contagious, so discuss a wide array of options whether you are planning work projects or family entertainments.

Hard work never hurt anyone, so if you aspire to power, greatness or just having some extra money in your bank account, roll up your sleeves and don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty.

One of your most powerful career or business dreams may come true. It might take extra effort on your part to achieve your objectives, but you will be helped along by a positive attitude.

Some things that sound too good to be true are real and tangible. When someone is affectionate, there is no hidden agenda. A partner or loved one could prove their loyalty and solid commitment.

The simplest solution may solve the most complicated problem. An assessment of your tangible resources makes you realize that you can allocate funds for savings yet still have some cash for fun.
