YOUR STARS

(THURSDAY, 17 MAY 2018)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) – Do not make up your mind on first sight; wait until you become more familiar with the matter. Indeed there are always plenty of things where your experience will compensate for your age. And only if you are no longer prepared to make the effort is it too late to learn. TAURUS (April 21-May 20) – Beware as something that should be no more than a pastime will tend to use up far too much of your time and energy. There is a tendency to feel rather dejected and should seize every opportunity to cheer yourself up. You will tire more easily and should get all that is essential done first. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Attend swiftly to a personal matter, but avoid spending excessively in the process. Certain unpleasant facts will have to be faced and you should not even attempt to hide from them. Do not be too indolent to check your facts are up to date or this could lead to unpleasant consequences. CANCER (June 21-July 20) – If you are trying to learn something new, avail yourself of newer methods of doing so. But remember that in the end, it is perseverance that counts and no method can work without it. If you are in doubt about the possible results of a course of action that is good enough reason not to embark on it. LEO (July 21-Aug. 20) – There will still be time to make up for something you had forgotten to do, but you must be quick about it. If you borrow an item, do make sure you return it on time and in the same condition as when you borrowed it. You will be able to make your point of view known, but don’t expect everyone to accept it. VIRGO (Aug 21-Sept. 22) – Do not attempt to make progress at too rapid a rate nor be satisfied with doing things superficially. Before signing a contract always make sure you understand to what you are committing yourself. Do your best to know where you are going and not just hope you are heading the right direction. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – Beware of entering into a financial commitment which, because it has hidden conditions, is more onerous than it first appears. You will remember a past event you had long forgotten about; do not dwell on it. Do not forget that time reminiscing is time take from the present. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) – A friend will come to you quite frequently for advice; be patient with him. Beware; your social life is liable to take on too great an importance, to the detriment of your personal life. Even if you cannot afford all you would like there is still plenty available at prices you can. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) – A familiar sight will now reveal an interesting new aspect you have always missed. Do not expect to get away with results below what others are entitled to expect from you. When you guess, you are liable to be wrong so employ conjecture only when there really is no alternative. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) – Always try to think the best of others instead of highlighting their deficiencies. Make sure you get sufficient exercise, even if only by walking where you normally do not. Correcting a mistake is still possible, but better take a little more care not to make it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – A change of scene will do you good, but make thorough preparations and no waiting until the last minute. Not everything will please you but there are plenty of good things to be pleased about if you let yourself to be. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – By all means use your reason, but leave a little room for the dictates of your heart and show just that much more goodwill. Instead of craving for what you cannot afford as of now, try to make the most of what is within your reach. A friend will appreciate your advice and sympathy more than he says.
