Aries (Mar21/Apr20) It’s never easy for you to tolerate dull people, but try anyway. You have to make a good impression before a group of influential professionals. This will involve listening to boring stories and attending a stuffy party or two. If you feel a tension headache coming on, go for a massage. Ask your lover for a foot rub. Even better: luxuriate in a hot bath. It’s important to care for yourself when your health starts to falter. Strike a balance between work and play.
.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Try not to let popular opinion get in the way of making an important decision. There’s no way to make everybody happy, especially with such limited resources. If you have to cut jobs or funding, so be it. Some members of your team will accuse you of disloyalty, but nothing could be further from the truth. By making a difficult choice now, you’ll salvage the remaining parts of an organisation. Delaying the inevitable will only compound the problem.
.
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Raging against the machine will only waste valuable energy. Sometimes you have to work with the status quo if you’re going to get anything done. This is one of those times. While it pains you to deal with such stuffy officials, you have to admit their experience is valuable. Go ahead and humble yourself by asking questions. By showing an interest in what they do, they’ll be more receptive to helping your cause. Resist getting into an argument with a quarrelsome relative.
.
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Clinging to your independent ways is causing problems in an intimate relationship. You must abandon yourself to your loved one if the two of you are going to grow as a couple. Constantly questioning their methods is creating a great deal of resentment. Don’t listen to a cynical neighbour who is sour on all things romantic. If you were to take their advice, you’d always be sad and lonely. An impromptu outing will be a lot more fun than you expected.
.
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Stop insisting on doing everything the same way all the time. Your best friend, colleague, or lover has other ideas about making art. By following their lead, you’ll learn something valuable. Resist the urge to bargain with an artisan. You’ll only offend their dignity and make it impossible to obtain a painting, piece of furniture, or sculpture. A last minute discount on plane fares makes it possible to visit an exotic land that has always intrigued you.
.
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Going on a fad diet will have unfortunate effects. If you want to improve your appearance, do it the good old fashioned way: through sensible diet and exercise. A health professional can create a programme that is tailored to your lifestyle. That way, you won’t have to completely overhaul your habits to get fit. You won’t be able to talk sense to an illogical relative. If this cynic is determined to view life through a pessimistic lens, you won’t be able to change their approach.
.
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) You’re troubled over a past relationship; maybe an old lover quickly withdrew their affection and left you high and dry. You’ve never been able to find why this happened. Stop blaming yourself and asking what might have been. A tiger doesn’t change its stripes. You were lucky this romance ended when it did, or even more damage would have been inflicted. If you happen to run in to the person who did you wrong, resist the urge to rekindle your affair.
.
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Resist the urge to completely overhaul your domestic routine. There’s no reason your home life should resemble anyone else’s. You’ve got great instincts about what works best for you. If your lifestyle differs greatly from those of your friends and neighbours, it may be because you’re ahead of the curve. In time, people will see the wisdom of your ways and start adopting them as their own. Until then, don’t discuss the details with those who like making fun of your eccentricities.
.
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Be very specific about what you want from a relationship. Pretending you want a serious commitment when you’re really looking for fun is a mistake. Your amour du jour deserves better. If you’re perceived as being a heartless player, people will start to avoid you. Your professional reputation will suffer, and it will take a long time to regain the public’s trust. If you don’t share someone’s deep affection, break off your relationship now, while the recovery time will be relatively fast.
.
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You’ve got to be very frugal. Buying things you can’t afford will satisfy an itch only temporarily, but it will come back with a vengeance. You’re better off finding inexpensive ways to amuse yourself, like going to matinees instead of evening shows or borrowing books from the library instead of buying them at the bookshop. Even small economies will add up over time. If you’re embroiled in a legal battle, it may be best to settle out of court.
.
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Your cool detachment is frustrating to behold. People think you should be a lot angrier about your predicament. What they don’t realise is you don’t like to waste valuable energy on impossible situations. You’d rather accept injustices and move on, rather than dwelling on them. There isn’t any point arguing over a monetary fund. A bully is intent on taking everything. Fortunately, you’re both talented and capable, and can make a tidy fortune of your own.
.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Don’t let daydreaming interfere with your productivity. You’ve got a lot of work ahead, and can’t afford to lose focus now. It’s especially important to turn a deaf ear to a discouraging friend or lover. Their natural pessimism has a way of undermining your confidence. You’re better off going solo. When you hit a snag, think about a mentor who always inspired you. By taking your cues from this admirable expert, you’ll achieve similar success. It’s all a matter of staying positive.
