IN THE STARS

- with HOLIDAY MATHIS

ARIES Of course you have more power than you are exercising, but you use it wisely. True influence isn’t about what you can get people to do; it’s about what you can inspire them to want to do.

TAURUS The absence of a person can be a presence – a presence so strong it dominates the room, the hour, the talk and the feeling of the day. This is how humans can transcend the laws of space and time.

GEMINI You’ll be the one with the news soon enough. Today you’ll get a chance to practice reacting to the news of others. In a way, you’re modeling the reaction you’d like to get when it’s your turn to be the messenger.

CANCER Setting yourself up for success will be a matter of casting the right people in the right roles of your life. You need someone to impress, someone to learn from and someone to cheer you on.

LEO You’ll talk on a number of broad topics and make people laugh, too. But your secret to relating to people is not in expressing yourself exceptiona­lly well; rather, it is in observing exceptiona­lly well.

VIRGO If it’s true that the external circumstan­ces exist to balance and harmonise what’s going on inside you, you should be able to change your interior world through a rearrangem­ent of your environmen­t.

LIBRA It is your desire to be a delight to others. You won’t have to do too much to achieve this effect – maybe slightly more than your usual self-care and making an effort to put yourself in their presence. That’s it!

SCORPIO “How my achievemen­ts mock me!” said one character in a Shakespear­e play. It’s the sentiment of everyone who’s ever done something remarkable and been daunted by the prospect of repeating it.

SAGITTARIU­S Because you know yourself well, you see the world with greater accuracy. You can take your strengths and failings out of the equation and try for an unbiased view, to whatever extent that is possible.

CAPRICORN Plant your affection and something will grow. Maybe it won’t be what you expected. Every location is different, and some ground is more fertile than other ground. But something will come of it.

AQUARIUS To think deeply into seemingly shallow things is the tendency shared by poets and storytelle­rs, mystics, and pied pipers of all sorts. Caution: Some frivolous wastes of time really are just that. Be discerning.

PISCES You can’t learn what you already know. So you might have to kick around some of the beliefs inside your head to see how sound they are. Believing in untrue things can prevent future learning.
