The muses will favour you with practical solutions. You’ll be inspired, not to paint a picture or sing a song but to find the most elegant solution to an everyday problem.

Knowing what’s going to happen doesn’t make the future conceivabl­e. Life can be explained, considered, talked about until faces go blue, but it’s only lived one way, and that is through the experience.

When you love your own camaraderi­e, you’re never at a loss for good company. People will want to be near you today, which fortunatel­y shouldn’t interfere with cherished solo time.

You’ll be a leader. Your ability to navigate the territory will be envied by those who don’t have nearly the same confidence level in a place as you do.

Empathy is at the heart of all you do today, and behind the things you don’t do. You’ll ignore the mistakes of others and overlook their shortcomin­gs in order to praise strengths.

You’re looking forward to something pleasant but trying not to set your expectatio­n too high, as that would surely diminish the moment when it arrives. Happiness is mastering the art of expectatio­n.

Anyone who has told a lie (in other words, just about everyone who speaks a language) knows something about the subtle difference­s between lies and truths. You’ll get a lesson in this today.

Someone will be intent on impressing you. Unfortunat­ely for them, you are not easily impressed, and your reserve will only make this person try harder.

You might be able to put on your old clothes. Even so, when you do, you’re somehow not wearing them. Same goes for your old obsessions. You can go back, but when you get there, you’re never there.

The thing you are trying to do will continue to be a pain, but you shouldn’t let that stop you from doing it anyway. This is important, or you wouldn’t be so frustrated. Keep going at it from different angles.

You really don’t feel compelled to run your ideas by other people for approval, but you should anyway. It’s not because you’ll change your mind but because you’ll learn from your presentati­on.

There’s an endeavour you’d do even if you weren’t paid. You’d wake up early or stay up late to do it. If it were made illegal, you’d risk it in secret. That’s what you should spend the bulk of your time on.
