IN THE STARS

ARIES The rules of your social life are different depending on which strata you’re dealing in. To act intimately with the outer ring or respectfully distant with the inner ring is a breach of unspoken contract. TAURUS You like people, but you don’t cling. You’re confident that you can find kinship with any number of people in the world. You’ll wait for a love that’s intriguing. For you, curiosity is a key component in attraction. GEMINI You’re a naturally hospitable person, so you can’t fully enjoy yourself unless you know that everyone is having a good time. Your generosity in this regard won’t drain you; it will actually renew your energy. CANCER Account for what is going right for you: So much is that this will be a very long list. Your focus on the positive will reduce your worries. Your lighter, more joyful heart will attract the same. Two people make the same mistake. One agonises over it; the other ponders what happened just long enough to decide what the takeaway is then moves on to new mistakes. Be like the second person. VIRGO You have the chance to work behind the scenes. Is that really where you can do the most good? What if you put yourself front and centre instead? You’re in fine form and have something unique to contribute. LIBRA It’s inside you now – that impish urge to upset the applecart. You know better, and you won’t make a move, but someone will find the daring gleam in your eye very intriguing. SCORPIO You don’t preserve your self-esteem by doing things perfectly. Self-esteem is built through realising that even when you make mistakes you’re still awesome and worthy of your own love and the love of others. Everyone needs help from time to time, but even if you don’t really need it, you should ask for it anyway. Because people need to give you help. The help they give makes them like and understand you better. CAPRICORN How much do you want to accomplish? With little on your plate, you’ll work slowly and take detours. With lots on your plate you’ll work quickly, take shortcuts and just barely meet your deadline. AQUARIUS What stops people from having fun together is an entire story in their heads about how it should go – a story based on their assumptions about each other and not based on getting to know who is really there. PISCES There’s an art to making mistakes well. The weak way is to pass the blame. The strong way is to think in terms of cause and effect instead and then just figure out how to fix things.
