The pen is mightier than the sword - A picture is worth a thousand words
More than seven years prior to the events in the novel, Anne Elliot falls in love with a handsome young naval officer named Frederick Wentworth, who is intelligent and ambitious, but poor. Sir Walter, Anne's father and lord of the family estate of Kellynch, and her older sister Elizabeth are dissatisfied with her choice, maintaining that he is not distinguished enough for their family. Her older friend and mentor, Lady Russell, acting in place of Anne's deceased mother, persuades her to break off the match.
Now, aged 27 and still unmarried, Anne re-encounters her former fiancé when his sister and brother-in-law, the Crofts, take out a lease on Kellynch. Wentworth, now a captain, is wealthy from wartime victories in the Royal Navy and from prize-money for capturing enemy ships. However, he has not forgiven Anne for her rejection of him.
The self-interested machinations of Anne's father, her older sister Elizabeth, Elizabeth's friend Mrs. Clay, and William Elliot (Anne's cousin and her father's heir) constitute important subplots.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You have great insight into other people's motives. This gives you an edge in negotiations. Take this opportunity to carve out a comfortable niche. Getting your own office is within your grasp. This will cause your peers to gossip, as they haven't been afforded the same privileges. Let them talk. You need privacy to operate effectively. If there's anything you hate, it's having some nitpicker look over your shoulder while you work. Stick to your guns; your persistence will pay off.
.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Emotions are very close to the surface and you won't be able to contain your anger at a member of the opposite sex. They have offended you with their crass comments and crude behaviour. The only way to put an end to this is to publicly confront them. This runs contrary to your reserved and understated way of doing things, but it has to be done. People like this get away with murder because they operate in the shadows. Shed a little light on the situation.
.
Gemini (May22/Jun21) You inspire confidence wherever you go. Taking the helm of an ambitious project will cause your star to rise. Remember there is a lot of work to be done between now and then. There won't be many rewards until you cross the finish line. Working in obscurity is never fun, but it will help you avoid interference from your superiors. So long as you don't draw attention to yourself, you'll be able to put creative touches on this endeavour that would otherwise be impossible.
.
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Your reputation for being sympathetic and understanding makes you a popular figure. Someone who is undergoing a difficult time will seek your advice. Don't hesitate to deliver some painful truths, as the person in question needs to hear them. Fortunately, you will not be punished for your candour. On the contrary, you will be commended for your help and may be given access to an exclusive club or party as thanks. Steer clear of a small minded fellow worker who is trying to stir up trouble.
.
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) It's important to remain detached when dealing with a sensitive matter. A relative who has taken advantage of your generosity needs to be confronted. In the past, you were very sympathetic to their plight. Now you realise their sob stories were just fiction. If you're going to avoid being manipulated, you need to set some firm personal boundaries. Stop giving them access to your home and property. Don't let them call at all hours of the night and don't fall victim to their guilt trips.
.
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Your powers of discrimination serve you well. You know the difference between skim milk and cream, particularly when it comes to friends. If you sense somebody has made your acquaintance for opportunistic reasons, steer clear. You have better things to do with your time. People will be surprised by your aloof behaviour, but that's because they haven't detected this manipulator's true motives yet. Don't worry they'll soon find out the truth.
.
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) You're a very popular figure, but have difficulty forming close relationships. It's because you're afraid to let down your guard with new acquaintances. Someone from your past betrayed your trust, and it's left a deep scar. Unfortunately, this has prevented you from enjoying the warmth and closeness of an intimate friendship. Drop your professional attitude with someone who has recently demonstrated kindness and compassion. Together, you will make a great team.
.
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Putting on an aloof act prevents people from knowing how deeply you feel about certain matters. You're sick and tired of seeing one of your colleagues being bullied. Coming to their defence hasn't made any difference. In fact, it's only compounded the problem. Maybe it's time to bring the problem to your boss. If that's not an option, you need to find a healthier work environment. Look for a job involving education, travel, or publishing.
.
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) If there's anything you hate; it's being on your own. Social pursuits make you feel alive and happy. If there's no party scheduled for this evening, invite some friends over for dinner and cards. You'll enjoy unwinding with your nearest and dearest. Money from a tax refund or inheritance helps you travel and see a little more of the world. Schedule a trip to visit a relative who lives a few towns away. The change of scenery will do you good. It may even inspire you to write a song or story.
.
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You prize sincerity over all things. Someone who has proven their loyalty keeps rising in your esteem. It's possible you have developed romantic feelings for them. If that's the case, you need to make your desires known or you will suffer in silence when you could be deliriously happy. If you're already in relationship, try rekindling your passion for your amour. It's only a matter of returning to the early days of your courtship. Where there is a will, there's a way!
.
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Having a mind like a steel trap will come in handy. Someone who underestimates your abilities will try to confuse you. By spelling things out for them in words of one syllable you can quickly and easily set the record straight. This isn't the best time to ask for a raise or promotion. You'll make better use of your time by focusing on a small, seemingly insignificant job. By doing this task without complaint, you'll attract the attention of someone who admires your work ethic.
.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) The last thing you want to do is attract attention. You're far more comfortable sitting on the sidelines than occupying the spotlight. What you may not realise is that your shy attitude acts like an aphrodisiac on an admirer. Don't be surprised when someone comes forward to confess their undying love. While this attention is flattering, you're not especially interested in embarking on an affair. You cherish your independence too much.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Your self image is caught up with your family. The values with which you were raised have a huge impact on how you see the world. Whether you embraced these beliefs or fought against them is immaterial. The important thing is these philosophies have shaped your personality in fundamental ways. If you are starting to see some shades of grey instead of only black and white, that's good. It means you've become more nuanced in your outlook.
,
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Advancing a political cause is your first order of business. Most people will be receptive to your message, but a few will challenge it. Be prepared to give a rational argument in the face of an impassioned zealot. Beware of discussing controversial issues at work, as this could get you fired. Even if you own the place, you can't afford to offend customers. Find a more appropriate forum for your speeches. Working on behalf of children gives you a sense of purpose.
,
Gemini (May22/Jun21) There's never been a better time to renegotiate a contract. Asking for a raise is favoured, too. Your powers of persuasion are such that an adversary will have little choice but to agree to your demands. That's because you attack on both logical and emotional fronts. People will think you are being manipulative, but secretly wish they had your ability to advocate for their own interests. Why sit around waiting for your ship to come in when you can take control of the situation?
,
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Your kindness and compassion make you a popular figure. A relative, workmate or neighbour may confide a secret. Don't betray their trust. Being the only person who is privy to this information gives you an added element of power. Use it wisely. For instance, you can take charge of the household finances. Open a college, retirement or savings account and put a set percentage of your income into it each week. Even the smallest contribution will add up over time.
,
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Behind the scenes discussions will lead to more creative freedom. You are anxious to work without supervision. By forming an alliance with a powerful colleague, you will be granted this wish. If you're thinking of writing your memoirs, get started today. Words will flow from your subconscious like a mighty river. Don't show these pages to anyone until you've completed the first draft. Premature criticism will undermine what could be a great work.
,
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Assert yourself at important meetings and don't let a loudmouth shout you down. By sticking to your guns, you'll win an important point. Your powers of analysis let you see warning signs that have escaped the other members of your team. By alerting them to a dangerous situation, you'll avoid trouble. Be sure you get the credit, or an ambitious colleague will claim ownership of it. You're tired of doing all of the work and getting none of the acclaim.
,
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) This is a good time to talk with your boss about future prospects at your company. If you own your own business, take this opportunity to interview potential employees. You'll find several good candidates. Choose the one who listens more than talks. You'll be pleasantly surprised to discover this employee has strong leadership skills. At long last, you'll be able to delegate some heavy responsibilities to your new recruit, giving you more time for leisure.
,
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) You'll get favourable feedback from an expert in their field. Let this be the validation you need to move forward. In the past, you may have struggled with studies because you were focusing on a subject that held very little interest. Now you're able to pursue a field you have always been fascinated by, it's evident you're a gifted student. The opportunity to study abroad will arrive quite suddenly. Have a small bag packed so you'll be ready to go.
,
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) It's time to consider your long term financial future. As a general rule, you're not very materialistic. Money will never rule your world. Still, that doesn't absolve you from providing for you and your loved ones. By putting some of your earnings into savings, you'll keep the wolf from your door. You'll also give yourself an added measure of independence. It's much easier to leave an unpleasant job when you have a cushion against poverty. Let that be your incentive to save.
,
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You closely identify with your best friend or romantic partner. As a general rule, you're very businesslike when conducting yourself in the public sphere. In private you're a much different person. It's a relief to let your hair down with someone who understands the real you. Outsiders would be astonished to realise how tender and compassionate you really are. The temptation to hide these traits is understandable. There are so many opportunists ready to take advantage of kind people.
,
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) You could finally get relief from a troublesome illness. Seek out a health professional with a reputation for kindness and compassion. Their receptive attitude will encourage you to drop your defences and discuss the full spectrum of your symptoms. Together, you will arrive at a remedy that will treat the cause of your illness, rather than the symptoms. Don't be afraid to try an unorthodox therapy. Sometimes the strangest methods are the most effective ones.
,
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Your vivid imagination attracts lots of romantic interest. If you're single, you could meet someone special at a cooking, gardening or interior decorating class. Keep your ears open for somebody with a rowdy laugh. If you already have a partner, the two of you may decide to put down roots and start a family. Alternatively you may decide to go on your travels or start applying for jobs overseas, they are both worth thinking about.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Don't let personal ambition get in the way of doing what is right for your family. Cutting back your hours or leaving a stressful job may be the only way you can attend to a domestic problem. Naturally, the prospect of leaving this position scares you. You've worked hard to get where you are, and hate the idea of relinquishing a steady source of income. What you don't realise is how such a gesture will impact your nearest and dearest. Their respect for you will only rise. . Taurus (Apr21/May21) Avoid controversial topics like religion and politics or you'll deeply offend someone you have always respected. Although it's admirable you feel so strongly about such subjects, you must allow for individual differences. You don't like it when people call your ideals into question. It may be impossible to get access to an impressive institution. Be patient and persistent. Very few people get through at the first try. That's what makes this organisation so desirable! . Gemini (May22/Jun21) Problems with tax, insurance, or an inheritance are giving you a tremendous headache. You're sick and tired of squabbling over money. Resist the urge to throw in the towel. The funds in question are rightfully yours, and yielding them to a greedy institution or individual will have a terrible impact on your dependents. When you feel anxious, take a deep breath and turn your attention elsewhere. Working with your hands can relieve stress. . Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) A friend or romantic partner is pressuring you to go against your conscience, but you need to stick to your principles and not let people divert or distract you. If that means defying your loved one in public, so be it. People will respect you more when you speak truthfully to someone in power. An abusive relationship is about to come to an end. Although it will leave a big hole in your life, you'll feel much better when you are free of this tyrant. Choose your friends carefully. . Leo (Jul24/Aug23) If you want to keep your job, you'll have to work hard; a rival is waiting in the wings to snap up your position. Be willing to learn new skills and try your hand at different responsibilities. Today's economy won't support slackers. If you're looking for work, you need to broaden your search. You could find a position related to property management, banking, or management. Although this work won't be especially glamorous, it will pay your bills. . Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Although the sexual sparks between you and an admirer are undeniable, there's little else to draw you together. Think twice before pursuing a purely physical relationship. Sure, you'll be happy while you're together, but has this relationship really got a long term future? You need someone who is both smart and sexy. Seek your soul mate at a book club, library, or classroom. Gym bunnies are plenty cute, but they don't afford the intellectual stimulation you crave. . Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Domestic power struggles are sapping your energy. You're tired of arguing over who should preside over which responsibilities. As far as you're concerned, you don't care who does which chores, so long as they are done in an efficient manner. Unfortunately, your relatives don't share your opinion. They are more interested in telling everybody else what to do than performing their jobs. Don't get in a war of words with a relative or neighbour. This character isn't willing to listen to reason, anyway. . Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Schemes and plots abound wherever you look. It's hard to trust anybody, even your closest friends and relatives. Keep plans a secret. Have an evasive answer ready when someone asks you a direct question. Fortunately, you're very good at keeping your own counsel. Postpone a short trip until an important decision is made. You want to be around to defend your interests to the powers that be or a rival could spread an ugly rumour about you. . Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) It's important to pay what you owe or your reputation will suffer. Stop trying to get around the system by making legal claims and counterclaims. If you borrowed money from a friend, pay it back as soon as possible. When forced to choose between paying a credit organisation and a friend, choose the latter every time. Sure, you'll have to pay penalties to the bank, but that's better than letting a loving relationship fall by the wayside. Keep your priorities straight. . Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You're picking fights wherever you go. No wonder everybody flinches when they see you coming! Maybe it's time to soften your tone. Sure, steamrolling over the opposition results in getting your way, but you will be left alone to enjoy the spoils of victory. You have to admit, companionship has been elusive. If you are lucky enough to have a romantic partner, express your appreciation with both gestures and words. A beautiful gift wouldn't hurt, either. . Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) A secret enemy is questioning everything you say. These insidious remarks are starting to hurt your reputation. You've got to nip this problem in the bud. Confronting your detractor out in the open will undermine their authority. It will also help you move forward with a stalled project. Fixing a broken household appliance will make your daily life much easier. You've become so used to working without it you've forgotten how much time this device saved.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Selfish motivations could pull a cherished friendship apart. Stop thinking in terms of what you want and start considering what a loved one needs. If your friend is overwhelmed, perhaps you can offer to baby sit or run errands. Often the most practical measures are the most helpful ones. Yes, you may have to cancel plans to accommodate your loved one's schedule, but it's really not a big deal. There will be plenty of time to socialise later.
