IN THE STARS

ARIES

What’s the difference between a flaw and a feature? Attitude. It’s all how you spin it, frame it, give it context, dress it up, light it, salt it, garnish it... So go on. You’ll be brilliant!

TAURUS

Animals are experts at being who they are unapologetically, and we can use them as aspirational models today. Shame is unnecessary. Simply own the fact that you’re doing your best.

GEMINI

Your finger just happens to be on the pulse of what’s cool. The more impressive you are, the less you care about impressing anyone. People will envy your style anyway, though.

CANCER

Your first instinct may be to proceed as though your heart is fragile and in need of protection. Then again, your heart may surprise you with a strength and resilience that only emerges when it’s tested.

LEO

You’ll do things that make you feel insecure, and what’s remarkable is you’ll do this on purpose. To build character and strength requires that you find where the weaknesses are and shake things up.

VIRGO

Like an expert poker player who is wise to the fine art of bluffing, you detect untruths, which gives you an edge. There may be an advantage to going along with the ruse for a while.

LIBRA

People know what to do with people who appear to think and behave in familiar ways. So conformity makes people comfortable. For you, there’s quite a lot that takes priority over other people’s comfort.

SCORPIO

The story of the world begins with a word. So does the story of you, the tale of today, the one about the future. Words are the beginning. Nothing becomes something as soon as you start talking about it.

SAGITTARIUS

You don’t want the kind of friends you have to try too hard with. You’ll experiment to find just the right way to let people know who you are, where you’ve been and what you want.

CAPRICORN

People say they’re doing nothing when, of course, that’s impossible. They’re doing nothing worth mentioning, and what you choose to mention or omit will be the secret to your brilliant charm.

AQUARIUS

There are many layers and implications to the state of mind called boredom. Some neuroscientists have begun to study and specialise in boredom. Your boredom will be a kind of passageway today.

PISCES

In order to do a good job, you’ll have to manage your feelings and responses. This emotional labour is the hardest part of a job or relationship and should not be given away for free.
