Sinking into your emotions offers you the best chance to deepen a current relation- ship. Although you’re typically attracted to someone’s appearance, you want to slip right past the veneer and delve into the heart of the matter now. There’s an ur- gency to your interpersonal interactions and you can’t waste time skimming along the surface. You’re less interested in achieving an individual goal now than stabi- lizing the relationships that bring you joy. Rather than evaluating your next move based upon climb- ing the ladder of success, you’re more concerned with maintaining your position in your network of friends. It’s time to turn your dreams into an execut- able plan, but first you must separate the im- practical fantasies from the attainable goals. Although it may be difficult at first to trans- form an idea into concrete steps that lead to your desired destination, the more exacting you can be now, the easier it will be to measure your success along the way. Don’t worry about finishing what you start today; making steady progress is your only reliable course of action.

Unfortunately, you’re being pulled in multiple directions and you don’t have enough clarity now to choose one way over the other. Although you prefer the familiarity of your daily routine, you might feel a sud- den urge to break free from your safe and secure world. However, it’s not likely that you’ll quit your job and head overseas to- day, even if you’re struck with a seemingly incurable case of wanderlust. Follow your instincts to widen your horizons. You’re singularly focused on your job to- day, but oddly enough you don’t have any specific goals in mind. Instead of establish- ing priorities and developing an agenda, you simply observe situations as they un- fold and jump in to help wherever you can. Although your lack of ambition might be considered a shortcoming by some, it gives you enviable freedom. It’s a rare day when you lose your bal- ance, and when you do today, others quickly appear out of nowhere to offer a helping hand. Your first reaction is to de- cline their assistance because you certainly don’t want to admit your weakness. Nevertheless, you will regain your self-confidence and your footing by revealing your truest self to your allies. You might not want people to notice how driven you are today, yet you still hope to be appreciated for the innovation you bring to a project. But you don’t enjoy wasting your time on management issues; you’re flush with artistic ideas and you can’t wait to bring them into fruition. Let others step up to make certain the details are all in order. Trust your instincts today when it comes to making decisions about money. The Moon’s visit to your 2nd House of In- come doesn’t automatically bestow you with wealth and riches. However, Luna strengthens the intuitive process you employ -- consciously or not -– when your positive attitude actually attracts oppor- tunities to increase your self-worth. You want more details from others than they can deliver today. However, their inability to satisfy your need for specificity only drives you to ask for more. This vicious circle may be annoying at best and upsetting at worst. Fortunately, you have the power to alter the destiny of the day by breaking the chain of cause and effect before things grow out of hand. Take a few steps back and stop pushing for more information when there isn’t any. Reining in your reactions is tricky to- day, especially if someone challenges your ability to keep up with them. You could be drawn into an argument without warn- ing, but it’s nearly impossible to justify your posi- tion with enough facts. Skipping the small history or science lesson is a sensible move now, because you won’t change anyone’s mind based upon your logical arguments. You’re eager to come out of the closet to- day, stand on stage and reveal a secret to all who will listen. However, the inconsistent Pisces Moon shifts into your 1st House of Self, adding confusion to your current thinking process. But don’t question your decision to speak authentically, even if it complicates your life for a while. Reach beyond any self-doubt and into the spiritual realms for the faith you need to follow through on your convictions. KUNDUZ - Five Taliban mili- tants were killed after warplanes of NATO-led coalition forces struck a Taliban position in Af- ghan northern province of Kun- duz overnight, a local official said on Tuesday. “The air strike took place in Janat Bagh locality of Khan Abad dis- trict, east of provincial capital Kunduz city. The strike also de- stroyed the targeted militants’ hideout and one militant was in- jured by the raid,” district Gov. Hayyatullah Amiri told Xinhua. The latest air raid attack came as the Taliban militants have intensified activities to overrun Kunduz city, the strategically important city in northern Af- ghanistan, since late last month. The Taliban had twice briefly captured the city in 2015 and 2016 respectively. Latest clashes and fightings be- tween security forces and Tali- ban caused panic among the em- battled residents in the city, 250 km north of Kabul.

Police spokesman Zia Durrani told Pajhwok Afghan News the incident took place this morn- ing in Kula Khamar area of Mai- wand district. He said the two children, aged 10 and 13 years old, were on their way home when they fell prey to the hidden bomb. Zia said police had captured a Mazda type vehicle and its driv- er in Sarbeland area of Shawa- likot district for supplying food items to militants. He added the detainee was being interrogated. Separately, three suspected mili- tants have been arrested in Pa- khta Pul district. Durrani said the detainees currently being investigated were allegedly in- volved in destructive activities.

A London-based Sikh gang helped nearly 70 illegal Af- ghan immigrants wearing turbans sneak into the UK using passports that were stolen or borrowed from family members. According to the UK’s Dai- ly Mail, the scam netted the gang about $800,000 USD. A court heard on Monday AIBAK - A 28 percent drop has been estimated in wheat harvest in northern Samangan province this season despite cultivation of the crop on a nine percent more land, an official says. Najibullah Joya, an official at the provincial agriculture, irrigation and livestock department, told Pajhwok Afghan News that dry spell was the main factor behind the drop in wheat harvest this year. He said wheat cultivated on thousands of hectares dried in many areas due to the lack of rains. The affected areas include Qaflani, Koka Balaq, Alsha, Dara-i-Kalan, Kokjar, Omli, and Laili Sai of Harazat Sultan dis- trict and Shalkato, Shirkiyar, Do Koh, Manqotan, Akhta Khana, Rabatak and Taikhonak areas belonging to Aibak, the provin- cial capital, he added. Last year, 95,000 tonnes of wheat was harvested from 115,000 hec- tares of land, including rain-fed, but a latest study estimated this year’s yield at 68,000 tonnes from 125,000 hectares. According to the provincial agri- culture department, Samangan needs 80,000 tonnes of wheat per year.
