YOUR STARS

(MONDAY, 17 SEPTEMBER 2018)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) – You will have some somewhat outlandish notions but you should let commonsense prevail. There are some rather tedious tasks to be performed; try to do so before those you enjoy and put them behind you. Before you dismiss a matter as being of no importance, examine it again. TAURUS (April 21-May 20) – If you have been made a sweeping promise, you should not expect it to be kept in every detail. There could well be some unexpected outlays and some things will cost more than you had calculated, so do keep a bit in hand for such eventualities. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Seek to avoid a future with someone you do not really love. Make sure you can afford it before committing yourself to a fairly hefty expense that is not essential. Remember that effort is far more easily sustained if it is joined to enthusiasm. CANCER (June 21-July 20) – You must not delay making a decision but do so rationally, not on the toss of a coin. You will find it rather hard to get going this week and will have to make an extra effort. Avoid doing anything that would be unsociable or unhygienic. LEO (July 21-Aug. 20) – If you try to curb a temptation to spend recklessly will you be able to make ends meet. Beware; you are liable to use too much fat when cooking. You should take care not to lose sight of the boundary between investment and speculation. VIRGO (Aug 21-Sept. 22) – You will not be able to afford as much as you would like. Never mind, if you are sparing you will still have quite enough. Before committing yourself, you would do well to seek to elicit a few more facts about the matter. Do make sure you do no misplace your license and insurance certificates. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – Avoid relying on others to do things for you. Instead do your best to become more self-sufficient. Before indulging yourself make sure that your partner and children have no need to feel neglected. If you have reason to believe your partner will not approve of what you plan to do, then think again. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) – Do not expose yourself to excessive noise, nor contribute excessively to the noise level. You cannot avoid getting older, but there is no need to think it is too late for everything. Indeed there are always plenty of things where your experience will compensate for your age. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) – Always ensure that those you have cooperated with you get their fare share of the proceeds. There is a lot to do, but doing things superficially is no answer to their urgency. You would do well to always consider whether you are still heading in the right direction. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) – Do not think you can do all a friend of yours can – without the necessary skill you cannot. If you borrow an item, do make sue you return it on time. You will be tempted to allow your affections to stray but if you do so you will cause yourself and others a great deal of emotional pain. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Your explanation for what has happened is only partially right, so try to get closer. At times you will tend to feel rather dejected and should seize every opportunity to cheer yourself up. Before signing a contract always make sure you understand to what you are committing yourself. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Nothing is quite as it seems to be, so do avoid judging by appearances. You will feel like doing something different but first ensure that your chores have been attended to. You will be more creative than lately but do not let your imagination run completely away with you.
