YOUR STARS

(TUESDAY, 13 FEBRUARY 2018)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) – This is a good period for study but you will have to make an effort; knowledge too will not fall into your lap. You will have a certain amount of personal success but you must not let it go to your head. Try to avoid taking too much tea or coffee and do not eat more sweet things than you should. TAURUS (April 21-May 20) – Promise yourself a small reward when you have completed a task and do not make it too easy to achieve. What you have long been meaning to do in house improvements will now become possible. Do your best to deal with stress and tension or your health might well suffer. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You will be haunted by the past, but by putting a brave face on it you will be able to overcome your fears. Swallow your pride and get in touch with an old friend rather than waiting for him to contact you. Listen most carefully to what you are told if you do not you could well miss a vital detail. CANCER (June 21-July 20) – No need to feel apprehensive about an important telephone conversation; just keep a level head and all will be well. Not all will be to your liking but you will find it easier to tolerate those things that are not and to enjoy those that are. LEO (July 21-Aug. 20) – You need not worry about whether you have made a good impression. Not only have you done so, but also a better impression than anyone else. You will succeed in carrying out a resolution and the results will be most beneficial. VIRGO (Aug 21-Sept. 22) – Do not allow some small dispute to be blown out of proportion. If you do not want to spoil a good relationship, you must do your utmost to curb your impulses. Beware – what you had meant as a joke is liable to be taken seriously. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – You will have an opportunity to make up a quarrel, try not to miss it. You and your partner may not at first agree how to spend your money. Do phone a friend who has moved to another country but do so during ‘cheap’ time. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) – Do not tell others just what to do; they won’t like it, nor will they follow suit. There is nothing to be gained by thinking about doing instead of getting on with doing things. Someone with whom you were just friendly will prove to be a really good friend to you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) – Do not break a promise that is hard to keep; be honest about your difficulties and the person to whom you made the promise could release you from at least part of it. Avoid lingering but do not be in too great a rush either. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) – Things are not what they seem and you would do well to try to look beneath the surface. You will find it a little difficult to come to a decision, but if you delay it will become even more difficult. It is very much in your interest not to procrastinate but do seek to take all relevant factors into account. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Impose more self-discipline on yourself and not so many excuses. Do not eat anything that is stale or has not been properly washed. You should take your responsibilities more seriously and do all that is needed to meet your commitments too. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – The more resolutely you get on with those boring tasks that have to be done, the more quickly they will be out of the way. Never try to dominate the conversation – you have far more to learn and gain from listening to others than from seeking to make your voice heard.
