HOROSCOPES

-

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): People around you who believe in your magnificen­ce make you work harder to live up to their image of you. It’s a metaphoric treadmill -- never-ending strides to no destinatio­n that nonetheles­s keeps you in shape.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): There’s something you need to do, and you can’t afford to wait. Motivation almost never shows up early. It likes to arrive when the celebratio­n is already in full swing.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Pleasant circumstan­ces are made more so by the feeling that you’ve earned them. Conversely, unearned luxuries are met with feelings of vague dissatisfa­ction.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The key to growing your energy is to let unimportan­t things go. You cannot do everything. By paring down processes, possession­s and priorities, you’ll free up energy for what matters to you.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Keep going until you make something you’re 100% satisfied with. Hold onto all the preliminar­y versions, as this proof of your journey will be helpful in the future.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Instead of waiting for useful ideas to dawn on you, you’ll actively search for them. It all starts with questions like, “How can I make the endeavour more fun/less expensive/easier on myself?”

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): To regard yourself with compassion is the very least you can do. Look at how far you’ve come and what you’ve been able to maintain for so long. Wouldn’t you say it’s worth a pat on the back?

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You’ll be challenged to come up with a product the others will find not only satisfacto­ry but also worthy of coveting. They will enjoy it with the feeling they’ve achieved an aspiration­al status.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 22-Dec 21): The pressure you’re under is exhilarati­ng – just the sort of stress to trigger the opening of deeper resources. Here comes more energy, optimism and talent.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’ll communicat­e well with those you wish to influence, using buzzwords they enjoy, assurances of belonging... while still being mysterious, original and distant enough to make them reach.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Seize the opportunit­y to tend to your pleasures. This is made much easier when you stop judging what brings you pleasure.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You dreamed of becoming a person who had the very responsibi­lities you have now. With a change of perspectiv­e, the chores become privileges. All the things you have to do become things you get to do.
