Your Starts

By Aung Myin Kyaw (Volume 26, No. 507)

Aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 18

Aquarius You will be at risk this week of becoming mixed up in hocus-pocus and misunderstandings. You may be loath to listen to the advice of others and your faltering love life may come to a complete standstill. Choose whom you spend time with carefully this week and try and be good towards others.

Pisces Feb 19 - Mar 20

Aquarius A steady hand and a clear head are necessary right now. Impulsive behaviour will only lead you away from success. Your capacity for self-sacrifice and understanding others will be called on but there will be benefits for you too. Your love affairs will be full of excitement.

Aries March 21 - April 19

Aquarius People around you may be broadcasting negative thoughts but you must remain committed to your positive ideas at work. Consider mental exercises to improve your concentration. Be kind to your lover and you will enjoy the satisfaction you desire. Now is a good time to get in touch with old friends.

Taurus April 20 - May 20

Aquarius You will enjoy an opportunity to travel somewhere. Some close friends may leave your side without saying goodbye. Trust that they have their reasons and that all will be explained eventually. A heavy responsibility will be given to you. Take it seriously because it may have long-term repercussions.

Gemini May 21 - June 20

Aquarius You may have to contend with significant misunderstandings this week but should not be worried about clearing the air. You will have to work closely with someone and may come to understand the value of attachment. Your education may encounter some significant obstacles.

Cancer June 22 - July 22

Aquarius A lack of confidence at work may give the impression that you are not pulling your weight. Are you sick of thinking about love and relationships? Perhaps it’s time you enjoyed some practical experience. A beautiful opportunity may come your way.

Leo July 23 - Aug 22

Aquarius Someone may try and embarrass you this week so try and keep a low profile socially. Listen more carefully to your friends as some of them may be trying to tell you something. You will enjoy your further education and should consider spending more time with your parents. You may receive a financial windfall soon.

Virgo Aug 23 - Sept 22

Aquarius Don’t apologise for what you have done unless you genuinely believe you are in the wrong. Invigorate your love life with some carefully chosen words and a little indulgence. Relax with music.

Libra Sept 23 - Oct 22

Aquarius You will enjoy good fortune this week. Great things are waiting for you in love but you must be patient and immerse yourself in the flow of things. Refrain from gossip about others and show generosity to your friends. You may need to take a risk in business and seek advice from your family. Be careful whom you talk to.

Scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21

Aquarius You could face a challenging week but should remain positive and unflustered. You may be more than a little restricted in your social activities but your finances will be fine so don’t avoid a little splurge if it makes you feel better. Encourage your lover with some kind words.

Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21

Aquarius You can expect a generous slice of luck this week. You may surprise yourself how much you can achieve in a short period of time with a little motivation and good focus. Your love life will progress smoothly although you may wish to avoid any quick decisions that could have a long-term impact on your life.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19

Aquarius A tremendous drive to get things done may exhaust you. You will need to take a break soon to catch up with friends, rest yourself and improve your health. Make an effort to catch up with old friends. Many things around you are in flux at the moment but balance will be restored soon.
