WE TALKED on Monday about
how achievements can be
made, even when we’re not
working at your highest level.
I quoted the ex-manager of
a famous football team. His
players rarely went for long
without turning on the style.
As Venus enters Virgo today,
we’ll see a little more artistry
in our everyday lives. That
doesn’t imply we’ll forget
how to get the job done — it
just means taking enough
care about our work to
make us proud of it.

YOU’RE seeking a
commonsense
answer to a dilemma. Yet, in these days of
fake news and false information, is this
really a good time to try to find a logical
reason to explain a convoluted series of
events? Life on our planet is as full of
mystery as it has always been. Although
there are rays of light shining through the
darkness, if you really seek wisdom,
understanding and hope, you’re better off
generating your own. As Venus settles into
Virgo today, that becomes a real possibility.
As Venus, the planet of love and creativity,

ONE of the
reasons I
love the humble potato is its versatility. It
can be cooked in a veritably mind-boggling
number of delicious ways. Yet, when we
come across one sitting on a shelf, we
almost always think about chips. It takes a bit
of effort to remember that it can be crushed
with garlic, sautéed, mashed, roasted and
spiralized. Similarly, it would be easy for you
to react in the most obvious way to the
situation you find yourself in. Look beyond
that... there’s a more interesting solution.

NOT all
things are
created equal. Days in your life are a perfect
example of this; some bring interest and
energy, others create conflict and drama.
Sometimes we spend days wrapped up in
events that require powerful responses,
which can make us feel good or bad based
on the meaning of the underlying situation.
Even though a challenge has triggered
an intense reaction there’s no need for
this to become negative. You can break
a pattern by taking constructive action.

THERE are, it
seems, three
types of people in this world: those whose
company we enjoy, those whose company we
avoid, and those we try to ignore. The only
problem is that people have a frustrating
habit of flitting between categories! More
annoyingly, they’re also trying to shoehorn us
into categories of their own. In this kind of
environment, it’s something of a miracle that
we’re capable of maintaining any kind of
dialogue whatsoever. Fortunately, even in a
trying relationship, there’s always a way.

YOU’RE a noble,
generous Leo with
a trusting disposition. When people tell
you something, your natural instinct is to
believe them. In the past, this has led to
situations in which you’ve been taken
advantage of. Your heartstrings have been
unnecessarily pulled and your feelings have
been manipulated. It’s worth remembering
this tendency today as Venus settles into a
new sign. Be wary of anyone’s emotional
demands. If you take a step back from a
drama, you’ll know who to put your faith in.

IF YOU speak
about how
you’re feeling, someone will listen. When
you talk, you will be heard. It’s when we sit on
our resentment and refuse to share our
feelings that we shut down any potential help.
The sense of isolation then deepens as we
‘expect’ others to help us out of a situation we
haven’t even told them about. Today, with
Venus settling into your sign, you can
communicate a problem in a matter-of-fact
way. If you can be open about what needs
to change, transformation is possible.

FOLK who like
to tell gruesome
stories sometimes talk about bygone
medical practices. When you hear about
some of the ways people were treated, it’s
a miracle that anyone survived. Yet despite
the barbaric equipment and procedures,
some of those patients made complete
recoveries! We are resilient souls and
healing is a mysterious business. Our faith
and attitude can sometimes have as great
an effect as medical science. As Venus settles
into a new sign, your faith can heal a hurt in
your life. As Venus, the planet of love and

GOODNESS,
you must be
exhausted. How are you coping with so much
drama? Why does even the smallest thing
seem to develop into something big? When
are you going to get some relief from all the
intensity? You just need to keep it together
until the next phase of your life begins. Sorry?
You can’t wait that long? Then don’t! Give in!
Surrender! You don’t need to be in control
and you don’t have to understand everything
and know all the answers. What’s coming
your way is exactly what you need.

THE
burning
question isn’t ‘can’ you pull this off, but ‘should’
you? Can you honestly swear on everything
you hold dear that you’re entirely comfortable
with the situation you find yourself dealing
with? You might not have a detective
monitoring your moves, but you have
something more important: your conscience.
It might not function in an official capacity,
but you have to answer to it, nonetheless.
All that matters today, is that you’re true to
who you are — and who you’d like to be.

NO
WONDER
you’re growing impatient. The only thing that
seems to be happening with any speed is the
only thing you wish would happen slowly.
Actually, you’d prefer it not to happen at all ...
and there doesn’t seem any way of stopping
it. And, while it’s true that you can’t prevent a
process from unfolding, in another area of
your life slow progress is not as problematic
as no progress. As Venus settles into a new
sign, it highlights the breakthrough you’ve
been waiting for. Have a little more patience.

DID you
know some
of our most celebrated composers were
talented conductors who led their orchestras
in renditions of their own concertos? They
knew precisely where emphasis should fall,
the staccato moments, and the length of
the pauses. Today, it’s impossible to know
these details with certainty. There are no
recordings of Beethoven, Mozart or Bach.
You’re no better (or worse) informed than
anyone else about a particular issue. Take
everyone’s opinions on board today.

WHEN people
hurt, upset or
disrespect other folk, they seldom do so
intentionally. Usually, they don’t understand
how unpleasant their actions are. Yet, the
person on the receiving end of their activities
finds it almost impossible to believe that it’s
not the result of a cruel and deliberate
choice. The victims wonder: ‘How could they
be so blind?’ And the perpetrators can’t
understand why they’ve been blamed. Playing
the blame-game won’t help anyone
today. But seeking peace certainly will.
