YOUR STARS

(SATURDAY, 23 DECEMBER 2017)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) – Some initial doubts will easily be overcome, but do beware of becoming over confident. Once you have decided to make any changes do not make do with half measures, go the whole way. That your friends are asking more from you than giving in return is what friendship means. TAURUS (April 21-May 20) – You will now have the ability to cope with the situation but that is not enough; willpower and motivation is also needed. And keep your objectives in sight. Living with one eye on the past is fine for some of the time, for most of the time better have both eyes on the present and on the future. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – If you begin to have doubts about whether you are doing the right thing, don’t do it. You should make some contingency plans in case what you are about to do involving an element of risk does not succeed. This is not time for extremes, keep within safety limits. CANCER (June 21-July 20) – Endeavor to avoid doing things that could annoy your partner. Do not take a remark that has been made so personally it was not addressed to you in particular. Do not think that you have all the answers; the more you think you have, the less you actually have. LEO (July 21-Aug. 20) – Do your best to refrain from vindictiveness particularly where a member of your family is concerned. A new idea of yours is a little too advanced just now, but do keep it in mind. You will have to come to a difficult decision; make sure your partner has a say in it. VIRGO (Aug 21-Sept. 22) – Go out of your way to avoid recrimination as well as refraining from taking revenge. Instead of seeking to get your own back, why don’t you forgive and try to forget? Once you have made up your mind to do so, you will find it easy. Make every effort to balance physical with spiritual love. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – Having agreed with your partner’s plans, play your part in them. Instead of finding faults in these plans, do your best to augment them. A friend will ask more of you than you are prepared or able to give. Using all the tact you can summon, acquaint him with the facts in this respect. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) – Make yourself a timetable and try to adhere without becoming a slave to it. Try to avoid getting yourself a bad reputation, but do not be too concerned with what others think of your justified actions. Remember that you are no less prone to heat stroke than many and more than some. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) – The path to success will not be quite straight, but you should try not to deviate too far. Do not let your sense of humor to grow stale, but do seek to distinguish between what is and what is not serious. You must resist a tendency to allow an attraction to become fatal. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) – Try to avoid doing anything you have reason to believe would be on your conscience. There is an inclination to envy those luckier than you instead be grateful you are luckier than others. You will tend to be rather apprehensive but there really is little or nothing to be apprehensive about. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You will tend to feel rather out of sorts, so make an extra effort to avoid getting on other people’s nerves. There are some tedious tasks to be performed, try to do so before those you enjoy. You will meet someone of professional interest to you in a most unlikely place. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Seek to reduce the amount of acrimony in a relationship that is under some strain just now. There is nothing to be gained from being excessively obstinate, but that does not mean you should not stick to your principles. Take enough exercise but not to the point where you feel exhausted.
