YOUR STARS

(MONDAY, 16 OCTOBER 2017)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) – If you want to stay in harmony with those close to you, you cannot do so entirely on your own terms. Make some concessions and you will get as least as much as you give. You will be faced with an unexpected difficulty, but by persevering and being ingenious you will be able to overcome it. TAURUS (April 21-May 20) – A small change of routine will help you to overcome a certain degree of boredom. Do not do things merely because you have always done them that way; re-examine your motives and aims. Draw a sharp distinction between your hobbies and things that are of importance for your career. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Do not allow your judgment to be clouded by too great an emotional involvement. Once again you are accumulating far too much paperwork and risk not being able to find what you require when you need it. You will be short of time but getting into a hustle will only make matters worse. CANCER (June 21-July 20) – Seek not to become embroiled in any legal problem. Rely more on yourself and ensure that others too can rely upon you. Something you have learned recently will now prove its utility. An impediment should not be treated as though it were quite insuperable. LEO (July 21-Aug. 20) – Take the initiative but do not do so on impulse – think long and hard about how to proceed and deal with rivals. Do make sure that the efforts of those who have cooperated with you are given proper recognition. You, like everyone else, will not succeed every time with what you are endeavoring to do. VIRGO (Aug 21-Sept. 22) – Pause now and redefine your objectives; you are inclined to lose sight of them. There is no harm in taking on more commitments proved you can cope up with them. Do not be offended in the light of justified criticism; seek to alter your behavior. Avoid wasting time going into unnecessary details. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – Now is the right time to establish whether you need to change direction – soon it may be too late. You will feel rather tense and should take every opportunity to relieve the tension. You will tend to choose the easiest way when in fact you should choose the right way. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) – You will now find it hard to see eye to eye with someone with whom you are usually very friendly. A stranger may be able to show you a few new things but they may not be adept for your purpose. Save by all means, but bear in mind that a small reduction in outlay is often not worth the extra cost in time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) – You will be in a very strong position, but be sure you do not abuse it. When traveling, seek to avoid overspending on accommodation; it will be hard to make economies elsewhere. You will have to work hard and you will also have to be patient, but in the end you will achieve good results. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) – Try to be a little less selfish and do not think you are always right. Do not think that success will be easy to come by; instead work for it. Someone who has been a very good friend will prove to be only partly so where there is a conflict with his own interests. Do not put obstacles in your own way. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Even if you feel differently, do try to be polite and inoffensive. Combat a tendency to leave too much of the loving to your partner. You will however discern that eventuality before any harm is done. Avoid indulging in a tendency to spend without due regard to cost and the limits of your purse. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Someone who usually is far from cooperative will now have a change of heart. Make sure you do not break any promises and pull your weight in a cooperative venture. If you try to deceive your partner, you greatly risk spoiling a good relationship, so don’t. Try to take a little more care about being tidy.
