YOUR STARS

(THURSDAY, 12 OCTOBER 2017)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) – Keep a better check on your finances; you may not be as well off as you think you are. Not all will be to your liking but you will find it easier to tolerate those things that are not and to enjoy those that are. This is a good time for study but you will have to make an effort; knowledge will not fall into your lap. TAURUS (April 21-May 20) – Things are once again taking longer than expected but rushing and doing things by halves is not the answer. Try to work more intensively avoiding all kinds of distractions. If you do not want to spoil a good relationship, do your utmost to curb your impulses. Listen carefully to what is being said. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – If you act fast, you will still be able to get most of your way. You will be haunted by the past, but by putting a brave face on it you will be able to overcome your fears. Do not tell others just what to do. Listen most carefully to what you are told; if you do not, you could well miss a vital detail. CANCER (June 21-July 20) – Let others have their say and take their views positively into account. No need to feel apprehensive about an important telephone conversation; just keep a level head and all will be well. You will have a certain amount of personal success but must not let it go to your head. LEO (July 21-Aug. 20) – You will find it rather difficult to come up to a decision but there is no point in trying to evade doing so. You need not worry about whether you have made a good impression. Promise yourself a small reward when you have completed a task and do not make it too easy to achieve. VIRGO (Aug 21-Sept. 22) – A lot depends on you so you should ensure that you pull your weight in a cooperative venture. Do not allow some small dispute to be blown out of proportion. Do your best to deal with stress and tension or your health might well suffer. Repairs you have wanted to do at home will now become possible. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – Conserve your energies and do what is most important and demanding first. You will have an opportunity to make up a quarrel, try not to miss it. You and your partner may not at first agree on how to spend your money but soon you will be able to come up with a common decision. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) – You will tend to be a little too complacent instead seek to be a little more self-critical. It will be very much to your interest not to procrastinate but do seek to take all relevant factors into account. There is nothing to be gained by thinking about doing instead of getting on with doing things. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) – You will come to regret it if you spend more than you can readily afford. Do not break a promise that is hard to keep; be honest about your difficulties and the person to whom you made the promise could release you from at least part of it. Avoid lingering but do not be in too great a rush either. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) – Do not diffuse your interest so much that you have too little time to appreciate everything properly. Avoid eating anything that is stale or has not been properly washed. You will succeed in carrying out a resolution and the results will be most beneficial. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – If you try to do too many things all at once, you are bound to get some of them wrong. Impose more self-discipline on yourself and not so many excuses. You should take your responsibilities more seriously and do all that is needed to meet your commitments too. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – While there is no need to be too suspicious, you should always avoid taking everything at its face value. Never try to dominate the conversation – you have more to learn from listening to others than from seeking to make your voice heard. Things are not what they seem; look beneath the surface.
