YOUR STARS

(SATURDAY, 18 NOVEMBER 2017)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) – Do not allow yourself to become perturbed by what remains to be done, just get on with it as quickly as you can. You will not feel all that affectionate; make sure that your children and partner do not suffer in consequence. There is liable to be some confusion; take care to avoid adding to it. TAURUS (April 21-May 20) – Success is more likely but only if you persist and work hard towards your goal. However old you are, you are not too old to grapple with new ideas and should in fact do so. The more goodwill you show, the less you need to reproach yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Beware of buying cheaply at the expense of shoddiness, but do not hesitate to establish whether something of the same quality may not be available more cheaply. An ancient memory will come back to haunt you if you allow it to; just, don’t. CANCER (June 21-July 20) – You will tend to feel others are not giving you full recognition, but the boot is just as liable to be on the other foot. The greater an effort you exert to reach an understanding with a friend, the more likely are you to be able to do so. Persevere, and do not expect to become proficient with anything overnight. LEO (July 21-Aug. 20) – You have a tendency to be rather too fanciful and should use al the commonsense you know how to summon up. You should avoid placing too much reliance on help and support from others. You will find lots of doors open to you, but do deliberate a little before deciding on which to take. VIRGO (Aug 21-Sept. 22) – Avoid an excess of noise and if a particular piece of machinery makes too much noise than usual, try to check it. Do make sure that the air in the room in which you work is not stuffy. Do not consider you cannot do something if you have the least reason to think you can. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – Trust those with whom you work with and see to it that they can also trust you. Try to be sympathetic towards a close friend who has encountered an unusual problem – it could have been you who did so. Try to be a little more flexible and receptive to new ideas. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) – You may be absolved from making any spelling mistakes but you must be careful with your computations where you could well be a little erratic. Avoid doing anything that would draw too much attention to yourself. Not everything is what appears, so try looking beneath the surface. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) – Think more constructively and do not allow yourself to be overtaken by gloom. A suggestion you have made previously will not be met with much favor but never mind, the next one will. You will get much farther by using your charm and powers of persuasion than you could by a show of force. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) – Do not delay any longer something you have in mind; it may be too late. You will be better able to reconcile the dictates of reason with your emotional needs. You will finally find the right way to deal with an unusual situation. A re-adjustment in your working methods will produce excellent results. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Act swiftly to avoid making a bad mistake. If you put your eggs in one basket, things are more liable to go wrong and you will then only have yourself to blame. Do not attempt to escape a task that is not much to your liking, it will not just go away. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You should make efforts not to think worse of others and do not believe what is maliciously said about them. Your financial affairs will be under more favorable influences but there is still the need for frugality and no room for profligacy.
