YOUR STARS

(FRIDAY, 31 AUGUST 2018)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) – Make sure you do not neglect activities that are connected with you present work. What initially seemed like a senseless conversation will have more meaning than it first appears. Instead of having regrets that you are no better off, just think how worse things could have been. TAURUS (April 21-May 20) – Avoid entertaining commitments which you doubt whether you could meet. You will find yourself in a situation where you will find it difficult to make up your mind on a personal matter. No sense worrying about it; in the end you will make the right decision. GEMINI (May 21-June 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 problems. Try to keep calm and composed in a rather tense atmosphere. CANCER (June 21-July 20) – Fight for your own rights and support the rights of others. After all, one day you could be in their situation. Remember that gratitude too has to be earned. If you are not really sure of what to do, try to deliberate a little longer instead of just doing what comes first to mind. LEO (July 21-Aug. 20) – You would do well to rely more on your own efforts and less on others doing things for you. You will feel a little sorry for yourself – try to snap out of it. Just think how much worse things could have been and get on with it. VIRGO (Aug 21-Sept. 22) – Be careful about giving out criticisms especially to close relatives; they might get the wrong impression. You will have a little more energy than of late but you must still not squander it nor do you have any time to waste. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – You will be faced with a challenge that will give a chance to accomplish something greater than you ever thought was possible. Take it easy and do your utmost to avoid tension especially between you and those close to you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) – Monetary prospects in the near future are not so rosy, so think again before pushing through with new expenditure. You will find it rather impossible to make progress at the rate you would wish; indeed you will have to make a great effort to stop falling behind. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) – You should not think quite so much about yourself and a little more about how you might be of help to others. You do not need to know everything to know something so do not be daunted by how much there is to learn. The important thing is that you have the willpower that is needed. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) – Before you dismiss a matter as being of no importance, examine it again. You will have a pleasant experience but do make sure you do not get it out of perspective. You will be able to promote one of your new interests, but do not allow it to take over. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – There is everything to be said for acting quickly, but you should not act without due thought and deliberation and without thinking what could be the effect of your immediate action on others. Try your best to be systematic and spend a little more time better organizing yourself. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Trying hard by itself is not enough; also seek to improve your skills. Concentration will not be easy but if you use your willpower of which you are capable of, you will succeed. Though you may not like it when you are criticized, it would do you good to listen and take note of well meant hints.
