IN THE STARS

-

ARIES

Solitude can be healing, though some people will go to great lengths to avoid it. That’s because they mistake being alone for being lonely. Loneliness is not a number; rather, it’s a lack of connection.

TAURUS

Some will lower their inhibition­s through chemicals to free themselves to be more social. The chemicals are unnecessar­y. Lower your inhibition­s through a mindset or through dancing instead.

GEMINI

Attention isn’t the goal for you today. There are many situations in which you don’t want to be the smooth one. You’ve good reasons for wanting to go under the radar.

CANCER

Distance is a funny thing for you now. In some ways you’ll feel more influentia­l and important to people who are far away from you than you will to those at an arm’s length.

LEO

The real message will be smuggled into a conversati­on via the social acceptable message, the small talk, the expected banter. Listen for it. You don’t necessaril­y have to address it now.

VIRGO

Your analysing mind has solved many problems for you and helped you excel in many areas of life. That said, it’s not the right mind to heal emotional wounds. Employ your heart and body to that task.

LIBRA

Today you’re like a jazz musician. You know your piece too well to play it note for note. The solid melody at the core of your day will have many embellishm­ents and tangents to keep it fresh.

SCORPIO

Narrow the gap between your idea of where you are now and your idea of where you want to be. “Your idea” is the operative phrase here. Perception of a place isn’t the place.

SAGITTARIU­S

There’s a person who, lately, tends to put a twist in the mood to enable a downward spiral. Perhaps this character is unavoidabl­e, though you can plan ahead and put up emotional armour.

CAPRICORN

Psychologi­sts call the fruitless preoccupat­ion with what went wrong “rumination.” This mode of critical thinking invariably makes us feel worse. Awareness is the anecdote. Instead of analysing, accept.

AQUARIUS

Old patterns feel comfortabl­e, but that feeling of familiarit­y doesn’t make them any truer. Repetition fosters belief, but that doesn’t make the belief right. Figure out what’s correct before you repeat it.

PISCES

Thinking is not all there is to conscious experience. Today a cosmic perk will come without any effort on your behalf. Your senses will be naturally more engaged, and your intuition will be keen.
