Star talk
• for The week ending August 18
AQUARIUS JAN 21 FEB 18
Focusing on what is out of the ordinary may help you initiate effective changes in anything you wish to do. Conditions this week tend to support coming to terms with what is unpredictable about life and others will listen to what you have to say. You want the best of everything at this moment. Watch your health.
PISCES FEB 19 mar 20
Finances receive a boost this week. Be speculative, you will be pleased with the results. Grab every opportunity that comes your way without any procrastination. New opportunities will come your way, but only if you keep your eyes and ears open. An interesting communication may have you in a spin.
ARIES mar 21 apr 19
Self- discipline, training and working quietly or behind the scenes are themes this week. Although you can make significant progress, you may not feel like you possess enough energy to push yourself to the top. Let confidence meet humility, and stay positive about your direction and what you wish to do.
TAURUS apr 20 may 20
Your inner feelings and need for love and closeness emerge very strongly and your relationships shine. However, you tend to encounter negative feedback when you express what you believe to be true, thus paving way for a little self- doubt. This is a very good week to meet new people and network.
GEMINI may 21 JUN 21
You are highly ambitious, full of optimism and enthusiastic about new plans. In fact, you may be foolishly overconfident and take on more challenges than you can handle. You are inclined to take physical risks, and to act on the belief that nothing can go wrong. Greater confidence makes this a splendid week, providing you stay practical.
CANCER JUN 22 JUL 22
Important transactions proceed without any hold- ups and events now will intensify the intellectual side of your personality and show a greater capacity for your knowledge and skill. Party invitations are ahead. This may be a time you are feeling on top of the world but remember: be bold without becoming reckless.
LEO JUL 23 AUG 22
Although this is a week of heavy responsibility, enjoyment can come from being different, no matter how conventional you are. You are likely take risks even if it is a small step outside your well- worn security path. Seemingly innocuous events may unexpectedly reshape your life.
VIRGO AUG 23 SEP 22
Lots of travel can be expected. Mail, correspondence, outings, errands, deliveries, discussions, interviews, debates, conferences, and study, are just a few of the things that will keep you busy this week. Legal matters are also favoured when it comes to signing long- term contracts.
LIBRA SEP 23 OCT 23
Embracing unfamiliar external conditions can broaden your point of view. You will also benefit from acknowledging the features that make you unique. If you feel like you have been floundering lately, then take heart. From now on, you will sky rocket ahead without resistance from others.
SCORPIO OCT 24 NOV 22
Your creative potential is enormous now and you can accomplish a great deal that would probably be difficult at other times. This is a pleasant period, with many enjoyable social gatherings and festivities. You may find it much easier than usual to smile and extend goodwill towards others.
SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 DEC 21
A change of lifestyle is just what the doctor ordered. A feeling of guilt may be hanging around you, so a more settled family environment may appeal to you now. Discard late night shindigs, and settle for more regularity in your daily routine. Good news may reach you concerning employment.
CAPRICORN DEC 22 JAN 20
Education may interest you and your intellectual, emotional, material and spiritual needs are well- balanced. You may take a greater interest in your children’s studies, providing them with extra tuition, or better learning aids. An important task will also need to be completed soon.
