YOUR STARS

(TUESDAY, 31 OCTOBER 2017)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) – You will have a basically good idea, though there are snags which will have to be and can be overcome first. You would do well to seek to lead the way rather than always being content to follow suit. Try not to do anything that is likely to arouse resentment, but do not abandon your principles. TAURUS (April 21-May 20) – Someone who thinks he knows more than you will try to tell you what to do. Do not spend too much time recalling childhood memories. Get down to what has to be done now and do not be awed by the difficulties. There will be a lot of alternatives, choose the right ones with care. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – If and when you are not sure of something, wait awhile until your doubts will clear up. Do what you think has to be done, not just what it is the fashion dictates you to do. When spending on little ‘treats’ see to it that they are for your partner and family before they are for yourself. CANCER (June 21-July 20) – You will have some personal success but you must not allow it to go to your head. Work hard, but not to the extent where you have no time or energy for your personal affairs. Make a resolution not to allow yourself to believe that all is as you would wish it to be. LEO (July 21-Aug. 20) – Do not act upon assumptions that have a doubtful foundation. Do not try to turn your back on unpleasant facts, but do try to see them in conjunction with more pleasant aspects of the situation. If you just hope for the best, you will end up having to settle for the mediocre. VIRGO (Aug 21-Sept. 22) – It would be best to attend right away to details that could otherwise easily be overlooked. Do not try to deceive others as they will not appreciate it any more than you would. There will be a change of circumstances – be sufficiently flexible to make appropriate alterations in your plans. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – Do pay a compliment were this is due and do not take too much for granted. Make allowances for other people’s strengths no less than you take their weaknesses into account. Make an extra effort, and you will succeed in doing something you had in mind, but a lot still remains to be done. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) – There is a tendency to think that what used to be was better. Instead you should aim at making things in the future better than things in the past. Avoid doing anything that you feel you might come to regret. Do not leave it too long after you have made up your mind to act. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) – Remember that you cannot please everyone so seek to please your partner and yourself. The more dependent you are on yourself, the more likely are you to succeed, but ensure you do not equate this with being selfish. You will be tempted to do what your really know you shouldn’t so don’t. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) – Instead of worrying whether you will finish on time, just get on with it without permitting yourself to be distracted. You would do well to think a while longer before putting pen to paper. Better to spend a little longer getting things right than being obliged to spend a lot longer to do them all over again. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You will be able to manage your financial affairs only if you watch smaller expenditures as much as large ones. There is no need to be sorry for yourself, indeed at most times you have a lot to be grateful for. Keep in check a temptation to blame others for what could be partly your fault. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – An offer is best accepted just now, even though there are some strings attached. You will get a chance to pull a few strings too. 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 for you.
