Your Stars

2019-08-03 -

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You don’t have to believe in a thing for it to help you. Being respectful of the ways other people believe and live puts you in the receptive attitude that attracts maximum assistance from everywhere.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Your capacity to question things is at the heart of your being. Anyone who discourages your curiosity is discouraging you. Let that be a red flag – an indicator that there is something to hide.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You weren’t trying to impress anyone, but they got impressed anyhow and now you feel some pressure to keep this up. Step back. You’re not here for their entertainment. Go back to pleasing yourself.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Your work has gotten better, so much so that you would cringe at earlier efforts if that weren’t such a disservice to your earnest, hardworking, well-intended former-self.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’re a passionate and complex person with your own point of view that won’t seem to match up to what’s popular. It might not even match up to a single other opinion out there. Stand tight. Hold the position.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): What’s important to you won’t hold the same priority or meaning for everyone. But knowing that matters of health and safety will eventually affect all, you’ll make your choice.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Alluring language, intriguing ideas... you know a chance at being transported when you see it. You won’t hesitate to hop on board for a fun excursion out of the usual reality.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The situation is less than ideal. Truth hasn’t exactly been upheld here, at least not to your standards. But you’d still rather stay and be helpful.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Just because knowledge on a matter is unavailable doesn’t mean it’s nonexistent. From germs to quasars, theories are proven all of the time. You’ve a theory you can safely act on; no need to wait for proof.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Your definition of happiness will dovetail with that of another, and together you’ll do the things that make both of you smile. You could get along with lots of people, but not this well. This is special.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): When very young people say certain things that don’t strike you as quite right, you’ll excuse the error, extending the same grace that was afforded you by your elders.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Stick to the original plan. Adhering to a schedule, or at least to an order of events, will keep you feeling productive even when the evidence is slow in coming.
