HOROSCOPES

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Your talent is like a fire. It needs open air to burn. If you hide your light too long, it will be like a flame under a candle snuffer: suffocated and extinguished.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): People who tell you which experiences you should have may be steering you toward an agenda that benefits them. Satisfaction will more than likely be a highly personal and individually customised matter. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Maybe nothing is inherently sacred, but there are plenty of sacred things that got that way by being so imbued with reverence that everyone around was able to feel the blessed energy of them.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The average adult lies one to three times a day, usually to spare other people’s feelings or smooth the way of social discourse. For total honesty, you’d have to avoid certain conversations altogether.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’re like a sculptor who sees a beautiful shape inside a hunk of stone. It may seem you’re hacking away indiscriminately, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The prevalent message of the modern world boils down to two words: Buy more. Today’s solutions will come from thinking beyond the dollar.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): To finish a project, you will need time and undivided focus. These things are hard to come by and you’ll have to be both deliberate and inventive to make it happen.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Other people can’t help but project on to you the person they want and need you to be. Now this projection is also made by algorithms. This is why knowing oneself always requires some solitude. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Your thought processes will be different when you get on the other side of this problem. Keep that in mind while making decisions that will affect future you. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Owing to your versatile, tolerant and socially adventurous style, you don’t always agree with or have much in common with your friends. Seek out a community that resonates with your beliefs. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’ve broken out of the box only to discover you’re in a bigger box. Liberation is one of the most exhilarating feelings, and it’s something to celebrate and savour. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Your blind spots are as dangerous as any totalitarian-type control that asks you to see things only one way. Better the question you can’t answer than the answer you can’t question. 17/11 B
