YOUR STARS

(FRIDAY, 10 NOVEMBER 2017)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) – Before you ask a friend to do you a favor, make sure it will not embarrass him and give him ample opportunity to say no. You will be able to have some useful exchange of ideas with those whom you work closely with. Concern yourself less with what has happened and more with what will happen. TAURUS (April 21-May 20) – A decision you came to recently should not be shelved but put into action. You would do well to consider whether the time has not come to make a change in the direction in which you are heading. With an effort of will, you will now be able to overcome a degree of timidity. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You will not be able to do one thing while waiting for another to take place. Do not however permit yourself to be distracted. Do not attempt to imitate others just now. What works for them would not work for you at this time and their situation is different from yours. CANCER (June 21-July 20) – You are rather too inclined to think that every acquaintance is also a friend – instead be amicable but maintain a certain reserve. Remember that even close relatives will put their own interests before yours. Do pay for your own share or when it is your turn; do not abuse other people’s hospitality. LEO (July 21-Aug. 20) – Always make it a point to test yourself on something you think you have learned; you might then come to a different conclusion. Do not spend too much time considering what might have been, too late for that. Instead seek to make the most of the time ahead of you. VIRGO (Aug 21-Sept. 22) – You are slightly on the wrong track, but it is still not too late to change course. Pluck up your courage and in the end you will be glad you did so. You have ample commonsense, but you must ensure that you use it too. Make sure you do not mistake the day on which you have an appointment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – While listening to old favorites, do not close your ears to new compositions. An innovation will be effective only if you make an extra effort to get it to work smoothly. There is nothing at all demeaning about saying you are sorry if you have something for which to apologize. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) – Avoid deliberately telling a lie. And do not forget: at times not admitting that you are guessing is equivalent to not telling the truth. There will inevitably be some tensions – do not permit them to throw you off your balance nor disturb your inner peace of mind. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) – Try hard to avoid or stop doing something that you know is bad for your health even should there be a short term advantage in carrying on with it. Your intuitive powers are liable to deceive you, so place far more reliance on your reason. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) – Try to keep calm while dealing with a matter about which you feel deeply. Your intuitive powers will be more acute but you would still do best to let reason have the last word. You would do well to consult a dictionary if you come across any words the meaning of which you do not know. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – There is no need to take things all too seriously, but there is little room for frivolity just now. Do not miss an opportunity to enlarge your vocabulary. Remember that in a conversation others too should be allowed to express their views. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – There is just enough time to correct an error resulting from wrong information. A financial matter needs prompt attention: the longer you wait the more difficult it becomes. You will have a good idea but it will need some elaboration before it is applicable to your situation.
