IN THE STARS

ARIES

Your warrior nature will be called out in a situation so ordinary and low-key you’ll be surprised at your own reaction. In Mr. Miyagi’s words, “It’s OK to lose to opponent. Must not lose to fear!”

TAURUS

No matter how great your day may be going, there’s always a part of your mind that’s aware that, somewhere in the world, someone is having the worst day ever. Let this help you feel grateful.

GEMINI

Neuroscientists have captured it on film – molecules morphing into memories – so is it such a stretch to say there’s actual mass to what you remember? It will certainly feel as if that is the case today.

CANCER

Social faux pas are easy to make. An unanswered text or the wrong sort of social media comment could cause dissonance. Counteract by being more conscientious than you think you need to be.

LEO

Maybe the repetition of certain behaviours seems silly, but, if it means something to someone, then its significance should be noted. Rituals matter to people. Don’t waste time negating this.

VIRGO

The potential for fresh faces is high today. You’ve the space for a new friend to drop into your world. If the other person also has the room, things will develop very quickly. If not, it will be a slow-grow situation.

LIBRA

Be aware that many don’t have the high emotional intelligence it takes to bridge gaps of understanding between people. You do, and you’ll be called to use this talent today.

SCORPIO

There are several ways out of the entrapment of false need. Being grateful for what we have inoculates us from a lot of superfluous needy feelings. So does differentiating between need and want.

SAGITTARIUS

You’ll wind up in an unexpected yet enjoyable conversation. It doesn’t have to lead anywhere to add sparkle to your life. But, if it does develop into friendship, that will be great, too.

CAPRICORN

There is an exhausting amount of nuance involved in casual social relationships. The trick is to be sensitive to your place without putting too harsh a limit on your natural instinct.

AQUARIUS

You’ve been the “mini-me,” and you’ve had a copycat of your own. These situations usually end with the realisation that the similarities between even very similar people only go so far. Today is no different.

PISCES

There are times for listening, for talking and for saying nothing, just offering a compassionate hug. You’re sensitive to what mode is right for the situation, and you’ll lead with this understanding.
