YOUR STARS

(FRIDAY, 10 FEBRUARY 2017)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) – Keep in mind that you cannot make progress without working hard for it. There are some rather tedious tasks to be performed so try to do so before those you enjoy and put them behind you. If you do what has to be done as it arises, it will not seem so difficult to tackle as if you let it accumulate. TAURUS (April 21-May 20) – Do not think others always have your best interests in mind. Nor however should you think that they always wish you ill – neither is wholly true. You are liable to distrust others to a greater degree than the situation warrants. Use a little more tact and discretion where social contacts are concerned. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – This is a good time to take the initiative but you have to plan well before you act. Try to avoid making assumptions without a proper basis and do not speculate too much. Do not be too indolent to check that your facts are up to date or there could be some unpleasant, to say the least, consequences. CANCER (June 21-July 20) – Do not spend too much time contemplating a possibility that you know is most unlikely. Tie up some loose ends that would otherwise threaten to destroy what you have accomplished. You will find it a little hard to understand what others really mean. Do not hesitate to ask and to discuss. LEO (July 21-Aug. 20) – Though you may know what is best for all concerned, you cannot expect each one of them to follow at an instance. Some may need a bit of explanation, finding things quite unclear. Something you have been feeling apprehensive about will turn out to be a storm in a tea cup. VIRGO (Aug 21-Sept. 22) – Instead of seeking to get your own back, why don’t you forgive and try to forget? Once you have made up your mind to do so, you will find it easy. There is a tendency to generalize and use stereotypes and you should make an effort to refrain from so doing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – By keeping your mind on what you are doing, you will be able to avoid some complications. Something you never thought even in your wildest dreams would succeed will prove you wrong. Good for you not to have given up despite the enormous obstacles. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) – Some opportunities come to you because of the failure of others so take advantage of the situation. It would be right to be a bit compassionate but do jump on them and don’t let them slip away. Continue your efforts and you will definitely make better progress. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) – By making a special effort, you will be able to advance your career considerably in this period. Do first what needs to be done by a certain time and only then proceed with what also has to be done but not quite so urgently. If you think well of others you will at least have a clear conscience. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) – It will now take a little longer than you had expected to see the results of your actions. Never mind, you are on the right track. You will be asked for your advice and should beware of being too positive in respect of something you are not really sure about. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – If you are sure you are right, then don’t hold back and share the knowledge you have with others. It does not take anything away from you. There is often a lot to be said for compromise, but only where this does not involve abandoning your principles. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Do not allow your imagination to take hold of you. You could lose your focus and initiative thereby diverting you to the wrong direction. If you expect to have love without loving in your turn, you will be most disappointed. While loving too little is easy, loving too much is hard, but well worth the effort.
