HOROSCOPES

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Your mind does funny things, mostly habitual. To think on purpose is to reject a lot of what your mind throws into the mix. Just because you happen to think something doesn’t mean you should believe it.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Make a note of the date and your ideas because you will be struck with notions that, if expressed, wouldn’t win a popularity contest right now. But in about five years, everyone will know this is spot on. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): What you learned in school wasn’t gospel. It was a group of opinions gathered together by people with varying degrees of expertise on the subject. Seize the chance to go see for yourself.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You are being constantly cued to ask the next question, take the next step, buy the next thing. It will be refreshing to interact with things that are so complete as they are that “next,” if it exists, is irrelevant.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Not all thoughts are built alike. Some are straight as arrows; others are so loopy by nature that you’ll circulate accordingly. Think twice before you pick up that kind. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’ve a gift for recognising what people want, sometimes even before they realise it. You can use this talent for fun and profit.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Relationships have blissful turns, peaceful passages and rocky stretches. The best motto when things get tense: “Fewer words, more time.” Silence makes healers out of the hours.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Of all the things to be loyal to – and there is so much that is worthy – one thing that can go without your devotion is suffering. You’ve put in your time. Let it go. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Author Sylvia Boorstein said that anger wrinkles the mind. “If you want to think clearly, you can’t be mad at anything.” Clarity will be essential to take advantage of the big things coming up for you. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): A person who is bathing isn’t necessarily aquatic. A person eating a vegetable isn’t necessarily vegan. Who you are is not always who you’re being in the moment. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): People will tell you what they want. This isn’t what they really want and it’s certainly not what they need. With a radical amount of empathy, you’ll listen through to the truth and deliver like no other.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): When atop a slippery slide, there is no deciding to wind up at the bottom. The bottom is an inevitability. Recognise which situations fit the bill, and avoid. 26/1 B
