IN THE STARS

- with HOLIDAY MATHIS

ARIES

You do what you need to do. Then you no longer need it. The thing you’re trying to do with sheer willpower can be easily accomplish­ed with a better understand­ing of your real needs.

TAURUS

Humans are complicate­d, and often their own worst enemies. A person has to be cunning to outsmart his or her own worst tricks and self-sabotaging behaviours. Such is the mastery of living.

GEMINI

The thing that ultimately drives change is your desire for the change. But how can you make yourself want something more than you do? Seeing someone who has it will – that’s the magic motivator.

CANCER

You can’t understand the fight within until it’s projected outside yourself, depicted in some friction going on in your world. Conflict is rarely about what it seems to be about.

LEO

Lively characters come into the picture, influencin­g you in the moment and giving you something to think about later, too. The day features mutual admiration and respect.

VIRGO

Fear will stand between you and opportunit­ies that are waiting to be seized. But you don’t always have to fight fear. You can simply turn it like a dancer, or say “boo,” or just ask it to move.

LIBRA

It’s hard to know the scale of a project until you get in there and start doing it. Some things you think will be easy will take forever and what you thought was a big deal could snap together in an instant.

SCORPIO

You may philosophi­se brilliantl­y, though the strange thought loops never arrive at a conclusion. All pondering and argument will end with practical measures that solve the problem.

SAGITTARIU­S

Some turn minor criticisms into major arguments and take helpful comments as personal slights. It’s a distortion that’s not so much an invitation to quarrel as a call for help.

CAPRICORN

There are qualities in which you surpass the others. Take charge of those, not just because it will make life more interestin­g and enjoyable for you but because it will be better for all involved.

AQUARIUS

Clarity can come in an instant; thoughts can stream in faster than a high-speed download. It takes time to get into the state of body, mind and spirit that makes clarity possible. Rest is a huge part of this.

PISCES

The past can be glamorised, idealised, regretted, distorted, used as ammunition or motivation, retold, grieved and celebrated. The best thing you can do with the past is learn from it.
