YOUR STARS

(SATURDAY, 21 OCTOBER 2017)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) – A problem that has been foxing you will now be more amenable to a solution. What would seem to others to be fortuitous will only happen as a result of careful planning. Undertake such planning, but try to keep it from others. A judicious expenditure will certainly help you achieve greater contentment. TAURUS (April 21-May 20) – You should take advantage of a good opportunity but do not live just for the moment. Once you feel that there is more work given to you than you can cope with on your own, do not hesitate to say so rather than falling behind. Try to aim high and do not limit yourself to what is strictly practicable. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Seek to teach only if you really know about a particular topic. If not, be ready to learn. Do not be satisfied with work that is no better than that of others. Likewise, do not set yourself standards that you cannot possibly meet. Do not pretend to be sure when in fact you are in considerable doubt. CANCER (June 21-July 20) – Seek to approach an old problem from a new angle. Do not think you can spend your way out of your current discontent. Instead seek to tackle them at their source. Once you do so, you are well on the way towards solving it. If you owe someone an apology, do not hesitate to make it. LEO (July 21-Aug. 20) – If you have some money to spare, better to invest it rather than to gamble with it. Seek to deal now with a situation that has been giving you ‘sleepless’ nights and check the alternatives carefully. Put helping others high on your priority list. If you miss a good opportunity, there will be others to come. VIRGO (Aug 21-Sept. 22) – Always keep your eyes wide open and do not think you know all there is to know. Beware; what you may consider to be a harmless remark could give offence to a sensitive person. Your contributions will not be recognized at present but its absence if significant will certainly be recognized. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – If you try to be a little more creative, you will be amazingly successful. Having agreed with your partner’s plans, play your part in them. Try to spend some time reflecting on what has been happening lately and try to get it into the right perspective. Act swiftly or you may miss the boat. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) – Making a few concessions is better than arriving at a stalemate. There is no reason why you should not trust your judgment just now. Seek to avoid a situation where more haste leads to less speed. You would do well to take interest in the natural world and in preserving it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) – Do not delay dealing with an outstanding matter. A compliment paid to you will make you feel good. Likewise, do not hesitate to give credit where it is due. A joint effort is more likely to succeed just now. Boredom is in evidence today, but if you try you will be able to circumvent it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) – Take great care not to strain yourself when exercising or engaging in any sport. If you are unsure why certain actions are being taken, you will imagine motives that do not exist. You will have one of those ‘why-did-I-not-think-of-it-before solutions to a problem. Never mind; it’s better late than never. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Do not work so hard that there is no time whatever for your leisure interests. No one is likely to stand up for you just now, so stand up for yourself without alienating others. Consider how a plan of yours is likely to affect your family and those of your friends. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Avoid giving too much prominence to some secondary matter. Seek to cut through red tape, but proceed cautiously and judiciously especially if it involves some very sensitive situations. Likewise, do not hesitate to give credit where it is due. A past complication is beginning to sort itself out.
