THE STARS IN THE STARS

ARIES

If you’re willing to subject yourself to it for a few hours (most aren’t), boredom has something to teach you. It can be a kind of meditation in that you do not seek a sense of space and nothingness; rather, it seeks you.

TAURUS

One impulsive person will have unpredictable results; two people acting on impulse will be a disaster. You’ll be the grounded force, the voice of reason and the hand of authority if necessary.

GEMINI

You’ve got a laundry list of desires for the day, but what really matter are safety, health and love. Make those your priority and you can’t lose. Ignore those priorities and you can’t win.

CANCER

The big picture will be hard to see. The best vantage is still around a few bends and up a hill. No matter. The thing to do now is make the next move, and the next move after that. It will be enough.

LEO

You don’t usually need a lot of outside motivation, but today it will make all the difference. A good coach or cheerleader will energise you to reach the goal. It’s even worth paying for if necessary.

VIRGO

You’ll be asked crazy questions and presented with people’s problems as if you were some kind of magic fairy whose job it is to make everyone happy. That’s leadership for you!

LIBRA

Just as being upset leads to an overabundance of negative thoughts, bliss brings on more positive thoughts than are warranted. Both states of mind are untrue, but in the latter case, who cares?

SCORPIO

Before you discount your offering as not enough, consider that you might be giving it to the wrong person. For someone who knows how to use and value your contribution, it will be more than they dreamed of having.

SAGITTARIUS

You look forward to the worry-free moments you’ll have to yourself once you’ve handled a big job. Ask for help. Speed up the process. You owe it to yourself to finish this one quick.

CAPRICORN

Pause to sort out what another person needs and wants. Make no assumptions! Listen more than you talk. This will be easy to mess up. Getting it right will be easy, too (and profitable), but require better listening skills.

AQUARIUS

As an air sign, it’s no fun for you to be grounded when you’d rather be flying. But being grounded is essential to some things. There are many kinds of growth that are only possible through a process of laying down roots.

PISCES

You’ve done quite a lot, and yet, one of the most remarkable things about you is that you don’t let your experience level make you jaded. Today you’ll follow an interest all around the internet, library or city.
