mnopqrstuvwx mnopqrstuvwx ARIES - 3/21-4/19 How well do you know a certain person? How ‘in tune’ with their behavior and characteristics are you? These might be questions you’re inclined to ask yourself. However, as the month progresses, you’re likely discover much you had ignored or overlooked. Coming weeks are likely to bring revelation about someone you believed you had the measure of. What comes to light can only put you in a stronger and more knowledgeable position. TAURUS - 4/20-5/20 Anyone with an elder brother or sister will know what delight they took in throwing a deck of cards across a room after asking if their sibling was familiar with the game of ‘52 Pickup’ or ‘Taxi’. As obliged as you might feel toward picking up pieces of a problem, recognize how over and above the call of duty you’re going by piecing together something that someone else should be assisting with. Don’t feel obliged to do something on your own that someone else should be helping with. GEMINI - 5/21-6/20 Weight lifters, and those wanting to gain muscle, know how important it is to make use of a resting period. If effort is constantly made and no rest period is allowed, then muscle isn’t given a chance to repair and become stronger. The same applies to you this month. It is essential you give a process a chance to strengthen by stepping back and letting healing take over, even briefly. Let some form of healing happen. You can only gain by giving it a chance to do so. CANCER - 6/21-7/22 That was then, this is now. I think you know what I’m talking about. Something that was of high priority not so long ago is being reassessed and you’re likely to find yourself taking stock of what you believed to be important not so long ago. Does this make it any less important? Not at all. Priorities and circumstances are changing. That’s why it’s important you consider what your needs are now. It’s time to adapt your needs to what matters now, not those of the past. LEO - 7/23-8/22 Interesting people usually have a long list of issues to deal with. That’s what makes interesting people interesting. They’re in demand. They play an integral role in other peoples’ lives. They make decisions that affect others. As much as you resent responsibility that sits on your shoulders, you have an important role to play in at least one other person’s world. If they benefit, then so too will you. Show selflessness this month and you too will gain what you want and need. VIRGO - 8/23-9/22 In what way does someone need to be shown ‘the way’? What’s obvious to you probably isn’t obvious to someone else and therein lies your frustration. As easy as you might believe it to be to hold someone’s hand and ask that they simply follow you or your suggestions, are you really helping someone by doing so? This month, give someone a chance to see what you already know to be obvious. It might take some time, but the sky insists they will get there eventually. LIBRA - 9/23 - 10/22 When looking at what we’d like to change, we need to be realistic. We risk wasting time and effort trying to change what can’t be changed, no matter how hard we wish it could be changed. We need to focus on what can be changed or learn to accept what can’t be altered. This month, as much as you wish there was more you could do to change a situation, your time will be better spent repairing it rather than investing effort in a process you have little or no control over. SCORPIO - 10/23-11/21 Anything, we are told, is easy to do once we know how to do it. Of course, there is a period where we struggle and believe ourselves incapable of doing something. We feel inferior toward those who can do effortlessly what we yearn to do. This month, focus is on what you are able to achieve, what you expect to struggle with and what, with effort, you can make happen. You’re about to undergo a crucial learning curve in some way - and one you will be grateful for! SAGITTARIUS - 11/22/12/21 The biggest obstacles we encounter to success are those we create ourselves. Sometimes, we receive ‘help’ from others in this respect. Certain people will always come up with reasons why we shouldn’t pursue a plan. This is usually because they fear we will be more successful than they are or because they’re afraid to do the same themselves. This month, focus on the fact that, if someone else has achieved success where you yearn to experience it, then it can be done. CAPRICORN - 12/22-1/19 Is it better to have a small percentage of something than one hundred per cent of nothing? Many would say that, to get one hundred per cent of something, we must invest one hundred per cent effort. Yet, we know there’s more to life than investing all of our time and effort toward the pursuit of something. The message from the cosmos this month surrounds achieving an important result but to not let it consume you to the point where other important obligations suffer as a result. AQUARIUS - 1/20-2/18 Simon and Garfunkel sang, many years ago, about someone who heard only what he wanted to hear and ‘disregarded the rest’. Such stubbornness can be impressive but to what extent are you pursuing something blindly? You appear keen to get a result but also appear oblivious to a long list of reasons why you perhaps should be more practical or realistic. Your determination is impressive but this month, it becomes important to balance determination with realism. PISCES - 2/19-3/20 Nowadays, in many modern theme parks, ‘haunted houses’ make clever use of holographic images. With computers or clever use of mirrors, we are convinced that something unreal actually exists. This month, to your amazement and delight, you’re about to discover that something you find daunting is little more than an illusion. Once you get the true measure of how small a seemingly insurmountable obstacle really is, you can overcome it confidently and magnificently. 44 North Shore Towers Courier n July 2013 YOUR HOROSCOPE SUDOKU Fill in the blank squares in the grid, making sure that every row, column and 3-by-3 box includes all digits 1 through 9.
