YOUR STARS

(SATURDAY, 9 DECEMBER 2017)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) – As quickly as you think of excuses for not doing what should be done, you should find reasons for doing it. Do not waste time, but do not think that relaxing and ridding yourself of tensions is a waste of time. A change of atmosphere will do you good. TAURUS (April 21-May 20) – Make every effort to balance physical with spiritual love. Extra energy coupled with a greater degree of efficiency will be in your favor today. Learn to distinguish between a definite no and ‘no’ that means ‘not sure’. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Always remember that a hobby is only a spare time occupation and you must not allow it to predominate. Now is a good time to tackle an awkward problem; you have lived with it quite long enough. Put your mind to solving it and you will arrive at a solution. CANCER (June 21-July 20) – Avoid postponing things; there is no more time ‘later’ than now. You will have a great deal to do. Do not allow yourself to be daunted by it; just get on with it as best as you can. Instead of complaining about things not to your liking, concentrate on those that are. LEO (July 21-Aug. 20) – Try to control your reactions and do not insist on having your own way in all things. An innovation will help you to deal with an unusual problem but it has to be handled adeptly. What you had not expected will take place and the results will exceed your wildest dreams, but exercise restraint. VIRGO (Aug 21-Sept. 22) – There is a tendency to worry too much about trivial happenings and you should try not to. A family misunderstanding should not be allowed to cause resentments, deal with such overtones right away.Do not just make do with good intentions, carry them out as well. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – Make sure you can afford it before committing yourself to a fairly hefty expense that is not essential at present. There is a tendency towards forgetfulness and you would do well to ask yourself several times a day whether you have left anything undone. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) – If you look methodically for what you are doing wrong, you will at last find it. It would be best for you not to be too adventurous today. However, that does not mean being completely moribund. Your attention is inclined to wander unless you take firm steps to prevent this from happening. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) – If it seems that you have forgotten something you recently learned, do not worry – if you make an effort it will soon come back to you. Seek hard to distinguish between a lasting trend and a passing fancy. Tackle a matter you have been neglecting without further delay. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) – Make sure you replace a worn part in good time; there is nothing to be saved by not so doing. You will hear something you would like to believe. However you would do well to be a little critical, it is not all as it appears to be. Your watch may not be accurate so check it once or twice. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Seek to ensure you do not fail to learn the lessons the past might provide. Do not rely more than you have to on guesswork and though your first thoughts on the subject may be right, do also consider the alternatives. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – A certain lack of imagination can be made up by more determination. Try to formulate your ideas more clearly; so long as they remain vague you will not know whether they are heading in the right direction.
