IN THE STARS

When deeply focused work is at stake, distraction is costly. You’ve gotten so used to putting up with interruptions that you’ve come to think of them as normal. How can you get the peace you so deserve? Today, life is like an ice cream store with an abundance of flavours. You appreciate this because you’ve also had those days when both choices were unappealing – rock and hard place. Beautiful ideas demand their sacrifice. Ideals are not usually easily won or accidentally stumbled into. The difficulty in attaining a thing is intrinsically linked to its appeal. Oddly enough, putting too much thought into a thing can make it less effective. The slapdash version will contain the most honest information whether you’re on the giving or receiving end of it. There is no such thing as mass appeal. The appeal is to one person many times over. Don’t aim your message to all. Aim it toward something very particular in another person. VIRGO Though a mood that’s totally impervious to influence would be an impossibility, you shouldn’t base your happiness on whether another person happens to be pleased with you. LIBRA Some people need longer to process events, especially difficult ones. You know that just because people don’t react the way you would doesn’t mean they don’t have similar feelings about the situation. SCORPIO You offer people encouragement and support. If a proposed action doesn’t come to pass and this becomes a pattern, you’re still supportive, but it’s appropriate to have a different set of responses. It may seem like a fight is necessary, and yet that’s not really the case. You could also just skip it. If not, prepare for tomorrow, when today’s arguments will seem petty and insignificant. CAPRICORN Some interpret news hopefully, and others defensively or cynically. Optimism and pessimism are just different interpretations, neither being better or more correct. Optimistic people are usually happier. You’ll be busy with many areas of life at once, but you’ll also have a sense of spiritual alignment that makes this easier than it sounds. Congruent beliefs and behaviours will turn dreams into tangible results. To learn quickly, practice repetition. Consider using flashcards and reminders – not your idea of fun, but it will help you assimilate knowledge quickly and move to the next level, which you’re going to love.
