YOUR STARS

(MONDAY, 20 FEBRUARY 2017)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) – There will be some malevolence on the part of others – instead of being irritated or resentful try to learn from it. Do not be offended by advice that is not appropriate, it is well-meant. To deal satisfactorily with your present situation, try to be more adaptable and avoid getting into set habits. TAURUS (April 21-May 20) – To keep a relationship working, do not expect the other person to behave exactly the way you would like them to. Take extra care before you do anything you are not quite sure about. Do not hesitate to experiment but do leave yourself with at least one alternative before you do. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You will have good reason to be grateful, do not hide the fact that you are. The prospects are good but you will have to work hard to achieve your aims; the reward for no effort is nothing. You will tend to have some rather fixed ideas and should try being a bit more flexible. CANCER (June 21-July 20) – Avoid thinking about work more than you really have to today. While not exaggerating some personal difficulties do not entirely ignore them. If ever you see your doctor, tell him all your symptoms and everything that he needs to know for a thorough examination of your health. LEO (July 21-Aug. 20) – There is a tendency to assume that people usually behave as you would like and expect them to; instead face the fact that usually they do not. Beware; something you are about to do is not wrong, only this is not the right time to do it. VIRGO (Aug 21-Sept. 22) – When you are engaged in negotiations, make every effort to appreciate how far the other person is willing to go. Aim more expressly at maintaining harmony with your partner and friends. You should not do anything that would embarrass anyone. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – Expect a busy and quite complicated day. Try to cut down on engagements and don’t insist that things have to be done in a certain way. You will be able to think more constructively and this will help in finding a solution to a persistent problem. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) – You will have to work hard and be patient if you want to achieve good results. Many things will not be to your liking, but you will have to cope with them nonetheless. You should be confident but at the same time do avoid trying to do what you are not equipped to do. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) – Avoid a tendency to delay things you are reluctant to do; it could make matters worse. If you are not sure about a certain thing, try to ponder a little longer and do not act as if it did not matter that you are not. Reuse resources by all means but without using too much time preparing them for re-use. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) – You will not have any time to spare but that is not a good reason for doing things hurriedly and badly. Avoid trying to hide from the facts and face up to the truth. You will be inclined to let your feelings dictate to you; instead you should be guided by your reason. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Your appetite will tend to deceive you bearing little relation to your dietary needs; so weight yourself, eat and drink more if you are underweight, less if you are overweight. Avoid phoning a friend at an awkward time. Give your attention to a family problem which if neglected could intensify. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You will not get on as well with others as you would like. Make sure you are not headstrong and that you give as well as take. Ensure that you maintain an instrument or device carefully rather than to be faced with what could be expensive repairs later on.
