IN THE STARS

ARIES

No matter how strong a person is, it’s foolish to waste muscle power holding up walls that already stand or pushing things down that are already falling. Let gravity do its work.

TAURUS

When the solutions don’t work, try different ones. The answer is out there somewhere. Just keep going, being resilient and experimental, and you’ll eventually unlock the mystery.

GEMINI

One of the perks of belonging to a group is that you get to share accountability for both the successes and the failures. The strength of numbers makes the wins sweeter and the losses more bearable.

CANCER

Say yes to less. Make the criteria more extreme. Say yes only when you’re totally into it and immersed in all the accompanying excitement that comes with that sort of full commitment.

LEO

You’ll manage to do about three times the work that the others around you are doing. This is what experience brings you: efficiency routes developed over time and impressive powers of focus.

VIRGO

The people who don’t follow up with what they say they are going to do lose credibility and are worse off than they would have been if they had said and done nothing at all. It’s important to follow up.

LIBRA

True partnerships are mutually supportive. When it’s only one person doing the supporting, it’s not a partnership but a service. Both cases can work, so realise which one you’re in and don’t confuse the two.

SCORPIO

The quickest way to take your mind off your own troubles is to take care of someone else. You’ll derive satisfaction and pride from providing just what someone needs.

SAGITTARIUS

Some goals take a long time to realise, and it would be pointless to rush them. Lose the stress, guilt and frustration over this. It’s all happening in its own time. A little work every day will add up.

CAPRICORN

Make your plans and know that life will not feel obligated to follow them. That’s okay. Experiences are richer and more interesting for the winding journey they take to destinations far from their origins.

AQUARIUS

If a thing is overly complicated, it probably won’t get done today. Results depend on a simple process. And as the process develops, it gets even simpler.

PISCES

Often doing what works will also please people, especially people who like things to function properly. But that’s not everyone. Some people benefit from dysfunction. Watch out for them today.
