IN THE STARS

- ARIES TAURUS GEMINI CANCER LEO SCORPIO SAGITTARIU­S

Every successful person has a story of pain. It’s what makes attainment worthwhile. While you don’t seek pain, you don’t run from it, either. You learned long ago that the only way out is through.

Announcing your plan is dicey. What if you don’t follow through? What if telling everyone is so exciting that actually doing it seems far less fun and you lose motivation? Keep your intentions on the down low.

Some of the big thinkers have declared the power of thought immeasurab­le, while others categorise thought’s usefulness differentl­y, downgradin­g it from the wisdom of just being. What’s your take?

In over your head? That’s what those swimming lessons were for. All the same rules apply. Don’t thrash. Make the moves that will get you to the surface where you can float.

Everyone around wants you to succeed. Even the ones who know they’ll be jealous are rooting for you nonetheles­s. Launch now while the wind is beneath your wings.

VIRGO

Your expectatio­ns will be revealed through your behaviour. They will learn your rules by observing the reactions you give when your expectatio­ns are met, not unmet or surpassed.

LIBRA

Changing your learning habits changes everything. Having greater knowledge of an area will allow you to master it and be rid of a certain related problem forever.

Find someone who has danced in this field before and knows where all the slippery slopes, rabbit holes and traps are. Connect. Ask questions. Request guidance. Take a lesson. Make a plan.

Some people don’t like it when people tell them more than they wanted to know, but for you it’s pure entertainm­ent. They’ll spill their colourful pasts and secret intentions. Riveting!

CAPRICORN

You are living a truly interestin­g life and have interestin­g things to talk about, although you may not realise it until you have the benefit of contrast. Go forward and converse.

AQUARIUS

Facts don’t get to be facts just by professing to be factual. That’s why publishers, law enforcemen­t and parents of teenagers apply the magic of fact-checking. Apply the same rules to feelings.

PISCES

You can feel when the energy goes out of a room, a conversati­on or a task. This is the natural progressio­n, but it’s just as natural for you to drum it back up if that’s what you need to do.
