YOUR STARS

(TUESDAY, 24 JULY 2018)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) – You will have a disappointment but at least you will be able to learn a very important lesson from it. You would do well to spend a little longer on a project if this ensures you do not have to do anything all over again. Try to avoid making an intricate matter more complicated. TAURUS (April 21-May 20) – An obstacle you had not anticipated will prove formidable but quite within your capabilities. Although not at first, you will in the end realize that you have been given good advice. Something you have not been able to do for ages will now become possible though it will not live up to your expectations. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You may have to make a few concessions, but you will gain more than you give. You should not judge a matter in the heat of the moment or make any snap decisions. You should not try to do more than you have time for but do not slacken your efforts. CANCER (June 21-July 20) – You will have the flexibility, energy and application needed to succeed. However, you should not neglect some personal matters. Someone will give you a present which will not be of much use to you but it would be wrong to be seen as ungrateful. LEO (July 21-Aug. 20) – There will be some conflict of opinion, but it will be possible to find a reconciliation. You will have to make up your mind on a problem involving technicalities and should not spurn expert advice. You are liable to eat too quickly and indigestion will result, so eat a little more slowly. VIRGO (Aug 21-Sept. 22) – You will feel somewhat better than done of late; better able to face the challenges in front of you. You are not going the right way about things and would do well to try a different approach. There is nothing to be gained by ‘pressing hard’ where a gentle touch will do. You will just exhaust yourself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – You may not find it at all easy to conform, but for the moment you must do so. You will be rather upset by what someone has said but think again; you may just be putting meaning on it which is not really there. If you receive criticism, do not resent it but instead try to ameliorate your behavior. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) – You may not feel your best today, but by using jut a little more effort and willpower you will be able to do what has to be done. If you do not pay attention to what you are doing, you could well make a very serious mistake so beware. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) – You will be more persuasive but there are still certain matters in respect you will not be able to sway others to your point of view. A great suggestion of yours will get general approval but do expect a few dissident voices too. Something that you have been assuming will turn out not to be the case. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) – Avoid doing in public anything that is likely to cause embarrassment to others. There is a need for a little more modesty. What you have is reasonably good; do not worry if others have better things. Others will be more kindly disposed towards you and you should return the compliment. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – If you are not feeling very well, try to take things a little easy but do not give up altogether. Try to be a little more adaptable and a little less set in your ways. You would do well to slow down a little and put the emphasis on accuracy. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – A solution to a problem will not be quite ‘right’ but it will work until you find something better as you should make every effort to do so. You should cut down on things known to be bad for your health such as fat, smoke and alcohol. Do not think there is nothing left to enjoy without health hazards.
