VITAL

- BY WILLIAM SMITH

ARIES: Mar 21 - Apr 21. Avoid rich foods and gassy drinks, get sufficient sleep, and give more attention to your well-being. Do nothing to upset your constituti­on and take extra care to bypass all dangers. Otherwise, an ailment or mishap might lay you low. TAURUS: Apr 21 - May 21. Your social life tends to be rather erratic; it’s fully exciting one moment and quite boring the next instant.You will not get the attention you want from a certain person but could find yourself getting on famously with somebody else. GEMINI: May 21 - Jun 22. It seems that nothing can prevent your progress at this time except you yourself. It could stem from a lack of commitment if you fail to achieve anything significan­t. Guard against succumbing to unworthy influences and distractio­ns. CANCER: Jun 22 - Jul 23. In order to realise the fulfilment of your worldly aspiration, you must acquire more knowledge.Then your applicatio­n to your aim will conduce to success.Without that necessary know-how, your desire will remain just a dream. LEO: Jul 23 - Aug 24. You must now depend only on yourself.You may be let down by somebody or disappoint­ed in a developmen­t. Refrain from showing bitterness and launching reproaches. Control your feelings, as difficult as that may be. VIRGO: Aug 24 - Sep 23. There could be unexpected happiness in store for you but your joy could be short-lived owing to a friend’s bad luck.You may be prevailed upon to lend a helping hand.That done, you could perhaps restore your bliss. LIBRA: Sep 23 - Oct 23. You may shun the company of wise people because you are currently overly aware of your limitation­s. But you have admirable strengths to work on, and you can learn much by listening to smart people. SCORPIO: Oct 23 - Nov 23. You appear to have mixed fortunes at present. Chances are that your setback will be linked to your most important design. Gear yourself to struggle through and try again later on. SAGITTARIU­S: Nov 23 - Dec 22. Be on your guard because it could happen that your happiness and security are being threatened by misfortune.You must reason cleverly and quickly in order to avoid disaster. Keeping sadness and trouble at bay could prove enervating. CAPRICORN: Dec 22 - Jan 21. If you study your thoughts and beliefs closely, you will find that you have unconsciou­sly been deceiving yourself.You have to make important decisions on your own behalf; must stick to an entirely practical line of thought. AQUARIUS: Jan 21 - Feb 20. You may have to censure a member of your household.All domestic problems are in need of your earnest attention. Nip new difficulti­es in the bud, and stand no further nonsense with existing disputes. Demand the co-operation of others. PISCES: Feb 20 - Mar 21. High romance and deep disappoint­ment appear to be a strong probabilit­y.You could find amour to be fulfilling only to have an unfortunat­e misunderst­anding wreck it soon afterwards. Jealousy could rear its ugly head for no real reason.
