IN THE STARS

- With HOLIDAY MATHIS

ARIES

It’s hard to say which is more difficult – the battering down of instinct necessary to resist the temptation your inner animal is lunging for, or the consequenc­es that go along with giving in.

TAURUS

You think you know what you have, but you really don’t. This is why it will be a delight to hear your admirers talk. Bonus: The compliment­s don’t go to your head. You’ll use your charms to make other people feel charming.

GEMINI

First, you were dazzled by the potential in a person, and later you asked yourself, “What did I see in that person?” The answer: what you wanted to see. Your vision becomes more accurate with every experience.

CANCER

Anything that pays off intellectu­ally pays off – period. If you’re wondering if you’re going to make money, consider that may be an irrelevant question when it comes to pursuits likely to polish your mind and soul.

LEO

Context and culture play a huge part in people’s decision-making. Your work goes better when you dive deeper into understand­ing the values and challenges of the people you’re trying to serve.

VIRGO

Sometimes, you are most helped by your supporters, but more often it is your competitor­s and enemies that are the true MVPs of your life. They inspire your best and sharpest.

LIBRA

What is painstakin­g is also rewarding, and what is rewarding is also painstakin­g. The two cannot, in fact, be separated as the pain is what gives the reward its value.

SCORPIO

No one is born with the stuff that will automatica­lly make them popular or rich. Even those born to the monarchy must earn their status in the eyes of their court and country. You rise to the challenge.

SAGITTARIU­S

To bring the vision of your mind into a form that others can see, too, you must build a bridge. It will require trial, error and excellent communicat­ion with cooperativ­e entities.

CAPRICORN

You’ll ask yourself the questions that matter. How are you contributi­ng? Who is better off because of your involvemen­t, care and presence? And finally, what can you do to step it up a notch?

AQUARIUS

If people who functioned perfectly fine before they knew you now seem hopelessly dependent on what you do for them, this is an illusion and one that’s healthy to shatter.

PISCES

Don’t forget about the part in the cycle of productivi­ty in which nothing happens. This dormancy is as crucial as sleep, which all living things do in their own way, even the trees and the mushrooms.
