YOUR STARS

(THURSDAY, 3 MAY 2018)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) – A project at work will proceed better than you expected. There is however no excuse for complacency. Do not think that a difference of opinion need always develop into a quarrel, far from it. If you feel that what you are about to do is somehow not right, then don’t do it. TAURUS (April 21-May 20) – You will tend to feel sorry for yourself. Cheer up; things are not nearly as bad as they seem to be. Provided you do not just sit back and wait for things to happen, all will be pretty well. Having come to an agreement, do not waste time in executing it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Do not hesitate to admit it if you do not know or if you turn out to be wrong. Always be prepared to learn, and do not think that you can learn only out of books. Consider whether replacing an aging device with a new and more sophisticated one is better than repairing it. CANCER (June 21-July 20) – If you are somewhat out of practice do not be surprised if it takes a little while before you regain your previous skill. Do not begrudge the extra effort needed; it is worth it. If you do not know you had better ask rather than assuming. LEO (July 21-Aug. 20) – There is no need to abandon your pride and to admit it when you are wrong certainly does not entail so doing. If you are not sitting comfortably you cannot expect to produce the best results, so do check that you are. You will have plenty more good ideas and the next one could fare better. VIRGO (Aug 21-Sept. 22) – Do what you can to improve the quality of life for your partner and family. You will find that in the process you also greatly improve the quality of your own life. Things change very much and it is up to you to keep yourself up to date. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – You would do better to take things one step at a time. Do all you can to ensure you build on firm foundations. Do not just pocket your change; count it first and you will be surprised at the result. Remember it is easier to be consistent and credible if you are telling the truth. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) – You expect good quality from others and are right to do so. Do however ensure that others receive good quality from you. Avoid copying others too rigidly; what is right for them may not be for you. You will be tempted to spend far more on a holiday than you can possibly afford – just don’t. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) – Facing up to the truth will require something of an effort. Once however you have done so, things will not be as bad as you had feared and you will be on the way towards solving the underlying problem. What you are about to do is right but ask yourself whether this is the right time to do so. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) – Do not allow others to prey on you; nor permit yourself to be a nuisance to them. Try to stay friendly with your business contacts even those with whom you are now in rivalry. There could soon be a time when you will be able to cooperate profitably on a venture. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – One manifestation of tension could be how soon you begin to feel tired. Try not to take everything quite so personally and do have a good laugh at yourself. You will have to make a few changes, but consider them carefully first; not all change is for the best. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Misunderstandings are more likely so do your utmost to make your meaning clear. Seek to ensure that you do not keep others guessing. The fact that someone with whom you are dealing is prejudiced should not cause you to follow suit.
