ACTIVITY 41: You are going to read horoscopes A-D. For questions 1-5, choose the horoscope which you think best fits according to the text. Then check the correct answers.

 

HOROSCOPE A

 

HOROSCOPE B

PISCES
February 20 to March 20
This month you come face to face with a number of purely practical issues involving property, possessions and partnerships. Begin with some heart-searching: can you afford to continue as you are? Are you living beyond your means? How much security are you guaranteed in your present job? Are you being given the scope you deserve? No matter how much you are enjoying your work, you probably feel that you need more freedom to display your talents. If so, this is a perfect time to put forward your case and ask for promotion. Sadly, money matters look a lot less straightforward.

 

LEO
July 21 to August 21
Mars continuing to cross your sign restores confidence, renews ambition and raises your hopes. So whatever happens - and quite a lot will - you will have the strength and optimism to stay on top. But it is vitally important that you channel your new-found drive in the right direction. You may have to sacrifice your social life - at least for a while - in order to concentrate on other things. You will be forced to face up to your responsibilities, both personal (involving family, relatives and friends) and financial (in the form of joint commitments, overdrafts, loans etc.), and you can no longer afford to ignore the boring paperwork.

     

HOROSCOPE C

 

HOROSCOPE D

LIBRA
September 23 to October 22
October should prove a boom month. Be brave. Be bold. Be daring. Don't hesitate to take on extra work - even if you feel you won't be able to cope (you will!). Seize any opportunity which may further your career (there will be plenty). You should be ready to work and play hard. There will be exciting developments on the social front, bringing new people into your life and giving you every chance to extend your circle. Even business trips look surprisingly enjoyable.

 

CAPRICORN
December 21 to January 19
It is quite clear that the most pressing factor in your life at the moment is your career. There are two main points to consider: first, be sure to give colleagues and employees the incentives and encouragement they deserve, and second, try to prepare yourself for a number of minor difficulties which could easily sap your confidence and play on your nerves. There will probably be some moments of despondency and self-doubt and you will have to fight hard to ward them off.
