YOUR STARS

(FRIDAY, 13 OCTOBER 2017)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) – Complete your unfinished business before proceeding to something new. Go a little out of your way to be in tune with a friend of yours. You should try to look more on the positive aspect of the situation without altogether ignoring the less positive ones. Try to spend a little while each day on your own. TAURUS (April 21-May 20) – There is no point in dwelling on something you regret you did not do, too late for that now. Instead, seek not to make any of the same mistakes again. You are liable to treat a shrewd guess as though it were beyond doubt. Instead you should try to examine all the alternatives carefully. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – While striking out in a new and different direction, make sure you do not jeopardize gains already made. Make sure you do not get seriously into debt and weigh up the cost of interest against the fact that with inflation the value of money falls. You are liable to forget something you should have done; CANCER (June 21-July 20) – Do not be too rash to enter into a promise, but once you have done so, keep it. You are liable to make too much fuss about your health, but nor must you neglect it. Beware of doing anything that is likely to give rise to a violent disagreement unless, your most fundamental principles are involved. LEO (July 21-Aug. 20) – Do not read into what others are saying something that is not there. Avoid exaggeration but do distinguish between it and inspiration. If a matter is worrying you, try to do something about it. If however, you cannot do so right now, there is no point in continuing to worry. VIRGO (Aug 21-Sept. 22) – Do not deposit fragile objects where they could easily get knocked over or dropped. This is a good time for travel but make arrangements well ahead. Not everything will be as you would like it to be, far from it. However your strength of mind will help you to deal with an unusual problem. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – Look for clues in the way people are behaving, not just in what they are saying. You will have a bit of a disappointment with the response to one of your ‘good’ ideas. You will be in a more variable mood and should try your best to stay away from controversial subjects if you can. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) – Seek to ensure you do not pretend either to yourself or to others. This is a good time to press far head with your plans. You will have to use a little trial and error and should make notes in order not to repeat them. You are out of space so do not hoard objects which you have no intention of using. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) – Do not spurn a friend’s advice even though it may not be absolutely appropriate. Do not attempt to do things quickly if it also means doing it superficially. Base your opinions on facts not on unfounded assumptions. You will make fast progress in some directions, but you will be held up in others. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) – Do not be too proud to apologize if you have erred. Your diligence in the recent past will now begin to show dividends. You will feel better than you have of late. That is mainly because you have followed a balanced diet and taken enough exercise. Continue to do so and avoid tension and strain. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – An idea that sounds fine in theory may not be so in practice. Something that was missing will now come to light. You will tend to leave rather too much to chance and should do your best to refrain from doing so. You ought to try to bring a bit more commonsense to bear on the matter in hand. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Think of others as well as yourself and do put your partner and children before yourself. Do not let others dictate to you, no more than you dictate to them. Avoid trying to force others to do what they said they would not do. Those of you who are feeling under the weather should try to take it easy.
