IN THE STARS

- with HOLIDAY MATHIS

ARIES Unless this story is a melodrama, the hero won’t be the seemingly perfect character who always does what’s right, and the villain won’t be sheer evil, either.

TAURUS Your needs, wants and future projection­s are changing. Don’t be intimidate­d by accounting! You’re probably doing fine, but you won’t really know until you shore up the short-term gains against the long-term costs.

GEMINI The mind at work won’t be a tight essay or neat maths problem; rather, it will resemble a rambling, shapeless amoeba gaining organisati­on as it finds the direction of growth. In other words, be patient.

CANCER There are certain qualities that are more universall­y attractive than others. Generic attributes aside, affinity will be created through your individual intelligen­ce and sparkle.

LEO On your way to fun and success you’ll blow past obstacles that used to stop you. Maturity is realising that most inconvenie­nces are not catastroph­es and unfortunat­e events don’t dictate your mood.

VIRGO Growth is uncomforta­ble. It entails understand­ing what you couldn’t conceive, feeling what you’ve never felt, doing what you haven’t done. Be patient in these early stages.

LIBRA No one gets into the boxing ring without getting punched. No one gets into a pool without getting wet. The correct time to be aware of the tone of a place and the game being played is before entering.

SCORPIO When dealing with yourself, try to provide the same atmosphere of warmth you so hospitably use in your approach to others. It will make change less scary. The change most needed is small, specific and personal.

SAGITTARIU­S You’re large and in charge sitting at the royal throne of your life, and yet you realise, as most rulers do, much that happens in your kingdom is beyond your control. Calmly handle what can be handled.

CAPRICORN There’s an art to giving and receiving. Wasted is the opportunit­y given to one who is ignorant of its significan­ce. If you’re going to ask for more of anything today, ask for more wisdom.

AQUARIUS Profession­als see rejection as inevitable. Superstars see rejection as a skill. When you’re good at rejection you learn more, take the idea to more people, pitch more and ultimately succeed more.

PISCES Like most people, most of the time you’re the one on your mind. Taking care of your own needs serves all. That said, the hours you spend focusing on someone else’s enjoyment will be the best of the day.
