YOUR STARS

(WEDNESDAY, 22 AUGUST 2018)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) – You will find it easier to concentrate if you are more enthusiastic so do all you can to foster this. You will be able to make some changes for the better. It is time to concentrate on dealing with some personal affairs that you have been leaving to one side. TAURUS (April 21-May 20) – A new gadget will help you to speed up your work rate but that is of no avail if you do not put the time saved to good use. You will tend to rely too much on your own legal knowledge; better to desist and seek confirmation from someone more expert than you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Few things are as you would like them to be. Indeed quite a few are positively as you would far prefer them not to be. Avoid a temptation to take longer lunch breaks than you know you should. What you require will cost more than you had expected. You will now have to cut down elsewhere. CANCER (June 21-July 20) – If you are in good health, the more should you make sure you do not do anything that is certainly not good for your health. Seek to avoid all sorts of pettiness and all kinds of recrimination. You should try to accept rather than fight against the inevitable; it will not be nearly as bad to do as it first seems. LEO (July 21-Aug. 20) – Avoid spending recklessly – were you to do so you would very much live to regret it. Try to concentrate on dealing with some personal affairs that you have been leaving to one side. Do not indulge in too many daydreams but nor let your imagination run dry. VIRGO (Aug 21-Sept. 22) – You have a lot to be grateful for and should not forget this fact. Do what you think is right even if this makes you a bit unpopular. The more you insist on having your own way, the less likely are you to get it. Do express your point of view, but do not feel offended or upset if it is not accepted. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – Once you have undertaken to cooperate with others, do make sure that you play your part. Avoid asking too many questions, the answers may not please you. You can learn more by listening to others as well as studying books. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) – Know the minimum you are prepared to accept, but do not let others know about it just now. There will be some provocation and you should try not to let it affect you. Have a quiet day and avoid getting into an argument; do not allow your emotions to predominate over your reason. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) – When visiting an old acquaintance you have not seen for some time, try to take a small present like sweets or wine. You will receive some fairly good advice and it is up to you whether or not you avail yourself of and profit from it. Try to combat a tendency to say what you do not really mean. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) – What at first seemed to be a purposeless discussion will have more meaning than it first appears. There will be some new elements – take them into account or you will reach wrong conclusions. Beware; you are inclined to return to a certain bad habit as well as to fall into a few new ones. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Some people will urge you to reverse a previous decision; hold out a little longer to see whether you were right as is likely. You will get some good advice and would do well to take it. You are liable to spend in one direction and will have to cut down in other respects. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Something about which you have been deliberating must now be decided. Your mood will have its ups and downs so make an effort not to get on other people’s nerves. Everything will tend to be just that much more expensive nowadays so take more care when you go shopping.
