IN THE STARS

- with HOLIDAY MATHIS

ARIES

The Mercury change presents a real opportunit­y for you to start ticking things off your to-do list. First step: make the list. It will bring so much satisfacti­on to organise your thoughts this way.

TAURUS

A long stretch of the same activity over and over will kill your enthusiasm. So keep changing it up. Every time you start a new exercise, your energy will renew and you’ll mentally refresh and become more alive.

GEMINI

Motivation is unreliable. It surges at random times and then suddenly disappears. To counteract the unpredicta­ble nature of motivation, set up your own encouragem­ent instead of expecting it to drop in.

CANCER

Strictly speaking, wanting a thing isn’t enough to make it so. But wanting a thing over and over, deeply and with great willingnes­s to do quite a lot to bring it into reality – that’s what makes things happen.

LEO

There’s a habit-swapping opportunit­y today. Giving something up is hard, but it’s made easier when you do it at the same time as starting something new to take its place.

VIRGO

“Is this really necessary?” That’s the question in the back of your mind. You can’t just get rid of all the unnecessar­y things at once, but you’ll be amazed at what a few cuts will do for you.

LIBRA

You have a sense of direction and it extends in many areas of life – physical, spiritual and emotional. Of course, what good is knowing where to go unless you actually go? Take courage and make your move.

SCORPIO

Looking for answers in the familiar places will bring you common, acceptable solutions. It’s fine for most of what you seek, but not for all of it. Unusual problems may require unusual solutions.

SAGITTARIU­S

If you were to put your own health and joy at the top of your priority list, this would jostle your schedule a bit. You’d do some different things and some of the same things, only you’d do them differentl­y. Try it.

CAPRICORN

Sweet attraction­s have a shelf life. Some disappear quickly like a popsicle in the sun and some last as long as Twinkies, and for reasons just as mysterious.

AQUARIUS

You need to nudge things into being more of what you want and less of what you don’t. It’s work. But it doesn’t have to be uncomforta­ble work. What can you do to make the process more pleasant?

PISCES

While logical thinkers may have an advantage with today’s task, those who think differentl­y will get there with a little more effort. Anyone can learn how to set goals and go about them systematic­ally.
