YOUR STARS

(THURSDAY, 22 FEBRUARY 2018)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) – Listen attentively and deliberate carefully upon your reply. Remember that a good idea will come to nothing unless you spend a little more time and effort developing it. You will at times tend towards a certain degree of superficiality which you should try to restrain. TAURUS (April 21-May 20) – There is no need to feel apprehensive about an important telephone conversation; just keep a level head and all will be well. Do not let yourself think that being magnanimous requires financial resources you do not have. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Keep your eyes open and do not allow yourself to be deceived. However, do not become too suspicious of those who work closely with you. You will tend to take matters more seriously than they warrant, but there is nothing to be gained by considering everything to be a big joke. CANCER (June 21-July 20) – You will have to face an unexpectedly high expenditure and you would do well to make provisions for it. There is nothing to be gained by thinking about doing instead of getting on with doing things. Look up your diary every now and then; you may well have got the wrong date fixed in your mind. LEO (July 21-Aug. 20) – Try harder to understand a matter of more concern to a friend than you. Do not be too shy of saying ‘thank you’; do not take it for granted that your gratitude shows. You will have a certain amount of personal success but you must not allow it to go to your head. VIRGO (Aug 21-Sept. 22) – Avoid being extravagant and try to look at a few alternatives before buying an item that is essential. A problem can be overcome by somewhat unconventional means, which do work. You will finally succeed in making some amendments to counteract mistakes you were too late to remedy. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – Do all that is needed to convince your partner of your abiding love. Try to take a disagreement with your partner in your stride employing a bit more good humor. Show your love even if this is not at first reciprocated. You will tend to be a little tense and anxious and should do all you can to relax. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) – A familiar sight will now reveal an interesting new aspect you have always missed. Instead of just looking for what no one sees, also look for what on one sees behind what everyone sees. Things may not be what they seem at first and you would do well to try to look beneath the surface. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) – There is no point wasting time having regrets – be contented insofar as you have done your best. And even should you not have done so, only in time to come will you be able to make amends. You are inclined to spend far more time on details than you have time for. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) – If you start to think that you are more superior to all others, then you are in for a rude awakening. What begins as a harmless and friendly discussion with a friend is all too liable to turn into a violent argument. Some initial doubts will easily be overcome, but do refrain from being too over-confident. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – If there seems to be a simple solution and one that is more involved, examine the later carefully, it may well prove the right one. You would do well to impose a little more self-discipline, avoid making so many excuses for yourself. You are inclined to the idea that what you believe to be true is true. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Your health is a little more precarious and you should take reasonable precautions without becoming too much of a fad about it. Do not give up with something you are seeking to learn, but do try a new approach. Do your very best to resolve some inconsistencies.
