IN THE STARS
ARIES
When you recognise others for their achievements, you fulfill a profound and universal need so primal that many do not even realise they have it: the need to feel important and respected.
TAURUS
Humour is revealing. Joking gives away the truth of the situation. You’ll laugh with friends and be gentle with the humourless. Maybe they are protecting a part of themselves.
GEMINI
Some say the human brain processes one emotion at a time, but you’ll challenge the notion. The duality of your sign engenders complexity. You’ll find yourself taking in all sides of a bittersweet circumstance.
CANCER
Someone will play the comparison game with you. You’re good at this one. One of your best tactics is to be very impressed by your opponent’s play and let them have all the glory.
LEO
The situation is reminiscent of the fable about the ant and grasshopper. You’re the ant, busily storing away grain even when you have plenty. When the grasshoppers laugh, you’ll pity their future selves.
VIRGO
Who will come to the party? Who will participate in your plans? Do they really like you? Yes on all accounts. You don’t even have to try hard. They’ll be swept into your natural enthusiasm.
LIBRA
Sharing what matters to you brings gifts too numerous and subtle to describe. Your arguments get better, and your knowledge deepens as you listen up. All thrive with the discussion going strong.
SCORPIO
As uncomfortable as it can be living with an outspoken inner critic, there are benefits too. Without this voice in your head, you wouldn’t be the profound thinker and industrious individual you are.
SAGITTARIUS
Those who are all over the map are as lost as the mapless. Get a quick overview and then home in on one thing. Believe in it and stick to it until you arrive.
CAPRICORN
If support from well-meaning people feels like pressure instead of motivation toward the goal, you’ll question it. Honor your instinct on the matter. You feel as you do for a reason.
AQUARIUS
To fully appreciate what you have and use it to your best advantage is the greatest win. Once you maximise your existing resources, new ones will become available.
PISCES
You need space in your schedule to do important things, such as nothing at all. You repair and restore yourself in the breaks. Consider making fewer commitments. Your future self will thank you.
