IN THE STARS

- with HOLIDAY MATHIS

ARIES Think of your offender as much younger than they are, infantile perhaps, because in some ways we are all immature, and indeed it is immaturity that has caused the rift.

TAURUS The good opinion of others can be a seduction. The trick is to accept people’s interest in you as a compliment, and yet not let their attention or opinion of you change how you think of yourself.

GEMINI Trees give us oxygen and animals give us the spiritual equivalent. Your admiration of an animal will buoy your spirit. Taking the time to learn more about this animal’s nature will lift you even more.

CANCER Honesty can be hurtful, crass and ugly. It can also be beautiful, and that takes more considerat­ion and compassion to craft, or it takes purity and innocence such as that which comes from a child.

LEO Negative experience­s have blocked the flow of love in your life in some way, causing injury. Maybe you’ve developed a behaviour that hides the injury, but not from yourself. It’s time to give this wound a look.

VIRGO As reasonable as you may be about most things in your life, matters of the heart are impervious to reason. Your heart won’t be swayed by even the most logical argument. It wants what it wants.

LIBRA Thoughts, like cats, are a hard thing to discipline, but they can be led. With cats, it’s opening up a can of food. With thoughts, it’s providing yourself with lots of better, more attractive things to think about.

SCORPIO Noticing what people like, producing what they want and predicting what they’ll need – these skills solidify relationsh­ips. But it’s only sustainabl­e if you figure out what’s in it for you, so get compensate­d.

SAGITTARIU­S Maybe you’re afraid to expect better of people, but do it anyway. They may not meet your expectatio­ns, but they’ll rise higher. Plus, it encourages you to be better, too, and this you can deliver on.

CAPRICORN Sometimes you act. Also, you’ve been known to plan and then act. Then there’s when you dream, and then plan, and then act. That third way produces the most interestin­g results.

AQUARIUS You hate to admit when you’re bored, but maybe it’s time to recognise that a certain situation has lost all superficia­l appeal to you and must be enlivened in some way. Go deeper. Or just get out.

PISCES It would seem that enjoying what you have shouldn’t be so difficult. After all, you acquired it at some point and wanted it very much back then. Find a way to reconnect with that feeling. A picture will help.
