IN THE STARS

- with HOLIDAY MATHIS

ARIES

It’s once again time to check in with yourself on the higher thinking levels. Stop and ask yourself what you believe. Sure, you’ve done this already, but things have changed, and so have you.

TAURUS

In a sea of retweets and homogenise­d opinions, you have a chance to put something out into the world that wasn’t there before. People need to hear something that’s not being said. You can say it.

GEMINI

You think of someone, but you’re not exactly sure what you need to share about that thought process. Relationsh­ips are a dance, and you’d rather err on the side of not stepping on toes.

CANCER

Everyone wants love, attention and credit where it’s due. Some want passion, all the attention and all the credit, too, due or not. Place your effort where it’s going to be reciprocat­ed.

LEO

No one is you. You make sure that your work reflects this, too – that no one will be mistaken for you. Self-critique and quality control will set you apart from the competitio­n.

VIRGO

Confirmati­on bias suggests that humans tend to believe first and find supporting evidence second. This order makes it impossible to root out factual truth. Fight the phenomenon. Question your motives.

LIBRA

For greater clarity and insight, consider the treadmill. Humans tend to stabilise to their own set point of happiness, despite the temporary highs and lows that life offers.

SCORPIO

You’ve been amenable to the suggestion­s of your crew, and occasional­ly, there are those who will take advantage. Now it’s time to be particular – difficult, even. What’s in it for you?

SAGITTARIU­S

You’re not looking for validation, agreement or even support. You don’t need anyone else to approve of you in order to approve of yourself. That said, you deserve respect. Don’t accept less.

CAPRICORN

Maybe it’s true that you already have all you need, though it doesn’t exactly feel true today. Ironically, you actually feel like you need fewer things.

AQUARIUS

The criticism we have of others is self-criticism, and the same goes for the praise. When working on self-love is difficult, switch to other-love. It will have the same effect.

PISCES

Though you may be all too aware of the mistakes your loved ones have made, you’re also loyal. With loyalty comes discretion and a willingnes­s to focus on strengths as you support your tribe.
