YOUR STARS

(MONDAY, 17 JULY 2017)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) – You will find it rather difficult to get down to things and will have to use all the willpower you can summon up. Work hard, but not to the extent where you have no time or energy for your personal affairs. Try not to do anything that is likely to arouse resentment, but do not abandon your principles. TAURUS (April 21-May 20) – Go out of your way to please your partner and those close to you and do not do anything that might upset your colleagues and friends. Expect changes so be flexible to make the necessary changes too in your plans. Get down to what has to be done now and do not be awed by the difficulties. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Something you have been looking forward to will prove to be a little disappointing but will not be as bad as it first seemed. If and when you are not sure of something, wait awhile until your doubts will clear up. When spending on little ‘treats’ see to it that they are for your partner and family first. CANCER (June 21-July 20) – You are more inclined to miss out some essential details but you will be able to recall them just in time to correct a near mistake. Study all the alternatives carefully and choose the right ones. You will have some personal success but you must not allow it to go to your head. LEO (July 21-Aug. 20) – You are inclined just to let things happen and a little more self-discipline would be advantageous. Do not turn your back on unpleasant facts, but try to see them in conjunction with more pleasant aspects of the situation. Do not act upon assumptions that have a doubtful foundation. VIRGO (Aug 21-Sept. 22) – Do not try to proceed more quickly than you can without becoming slapdash. Make a resolution not to allow yourself to believe that all is as you would wish it to be. Aim at making things in the future better than things in the past. Seek to lead the way rather than always being content to follow suit LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – You will tend to tire rather easily and must always seek to tackle what requires most energy earlier in the day. Do not try to deceive others as they will not appreciate it any more than you would. By making an extra effort, you will succeed in doing something you had in mind. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) – It will be harder for you to concentrate and you simply have to make a greater effort to do so. Avoid doing anything that you feel you might come to regret. Remember that even the most user-friendly of devices requires a certain amount of knowledge and application from you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) – Many things will not be to your liking but you will be able to cope with them nonetheless. You will have to keep in check a temptation to blame others for what is partly or wholly your own fault. Better to spend a little longer getting things right than spend a lot longer to do them all over again. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) – Make allowances for other people’s strengths no less than you take their weaknesses into account. Instead of worrying whether you will finish on time, just get on with it without permitting yourself to be. You would do well to think a while longer before putting pen to paper. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Pause to think for a while about and if necessary reorganize your plans for the immediate future. There is no need to be sorry for yourself, indeed at most times you have a lot to be grateful for. The more dependent you are on yourself, the more likely are you to succeed. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Tackle a family problem right away; it will get worse the longer you leave it. Seek not to forget that what you remember is already the past. It will be easy to give up too soon and tenacity is needed to avert this inclination. If you show more consideration for others they are more likely to do the same.
