  • Recently I was reading horoscope, can you imagine that? And there an idea clicked, and

  • I thought why not I make a lesson on thatHi everyone my name is Hridhaan and I welcome

  • each one of you with a very big heart on Let's Talk. Today's lesson is about horoscope and

  • in today's lesson we are gonna be talking about everyday English vocabulary and collocation

  • related to the personality traits and what is coming in the near future for the birth

  • signs that we have in our horoscope in the lesson today. So what are we waiting for,

  • if you want to learn these vocabulary, vocabulary phrases and collocations stay tuned with me.

  • The first one in the list isCapricorn’, for Capricorn the vocabulary is a cordial

  • relationships, it seems that the people with this birth sign will have cordial relationships,

  • but what is the meaning of cordial relationship? It means a bond that is friendly, but formal

  • polite and sincere. Basically a friendly bond but formal, polite and sincere. We can't be

  • friends with everybody, but there are a lot of times when we have good relationship with

  • people, we can't call those people or friends but we end up having a very formal sweet and

  • sincere relationship with them. Such bond is called cordial relationships and seems

  • like people of Capricorn birth sign will have cordial relationships with everyone. Let’s

  • see how we can use it in the form of an example here, “despite their political differences,

  • the two leaders have cordial relations”, one more time, ‘despite’, what is the

  • meaning of despite? It meansdoesn't matterbecause of the political differences that

  • two leaders have such as Narendra Modi and Donald Trump, these two leaders still have

  • respectful, formal and sincere relationship with each other. This was so Capricorn. Let's

  • move on to the next one the next one isAquarius’, Aquarius has close confidant seems like the

  • people with this birth sign will have close confidants with them. But what is the meaning?

  • The meaning is person you love and share your feelings and secrets with. A close confidant

  • is a person that you actually share all your secrets and feelings with. Feelings and secrets

  • with. For example, “my sisters are my closest confidants”. I've got two sisters and that

  • holds true, they are my closest friends because I can share all my secrets and feelings with

  • them. This was for those people who have Aquarius as their birth signs, they're going to be

  • having closest confidants with them. The next one in the list is, ‘Pisces’. The adjective

  • collocation with Pisces is abuse trust. Well Pisces people will have to save themselves

  • from people who might abuse their trust. But what is the meaning? It means that when someone

  • betrays and cheats you, a disloyal act. So people with the Pisces birth sign will have

  • to save themselves from other people who could abuse their trust. For example, “Dave abused

  • my trust and I decided to break up with him.” ‘Abused my trust’, that means did something

  • disloyal and I or that person does not trust that person anymore and so the breakup happened.

  • This is for people that have Pisces as their birth signs. Let's move to the next one, the

  • next one isAries’. Let's see what we have in Aries, ‘heal the rift’. What is

  • the meaning of heal? ‘Healmeans something that gets better and what is the meaning of

  • rift? Rift is primarily related to fight. Heal the rift means, make a broken down relationship

  • friendly again, patch up. A lot of people use this word patch up which is quite common,

  • which is the opposite of breakup. This is what Aries will experience in 2020. “Kate

  • and Dave became friends after their relationship broke down they said, only time healed the

  • rift between the two of them.” There are two people, Kate and Dave, they became friends

  • again andtimewas the one that healed the rift that means time solved all the broken

  • down relationship that these two people had. This is for Aries. So something will happen

  • and time will heal the rift between the relationships that they have shared with people in the past.

  • Let's move to the next birth sign, it isTaurus’. What is there for Taurus? ‘Forge new relations’.

  • In the previous one we saw, it was heal the rift, next one we have is, forge new relations.

  • What is the meaning of forge? Forge has to do with starting something new and relation

  • is the bonds that we share with people and so forged new relation means, form or create

  • new bonds. Something will happen and it seems like Taurus will end up creating new bonds

  • with people. Let's see using an example, “after her divorce, Kate decided to forge new relations

  • with a guy she thought understood her the most.” Kate was the one who decided to forge

  • new relation with this person after breaking up with Dave she decided to forge new relation

  • start a new bond with somebody she thought who trusted and also understood her the most.

  • So something like this will happen with people with theTaurusbird sign. Let's move

  • to the next one, ‘Geminiand that is me. What will happen with Gemini? ‘Spring

  • to someone's defence’. Somebody will either spring to Gemini's defence or Gemini will

  • spring to somebody else's defence but what is the meaning? It means thisact quickly

  • to support someone. That means somebody will either support Gemini or Gemini's will support

  • other people. For example, let's see how we can use it in the form of an example, “Sasha

  • sprang to my defence when nobody else did.” Sasha, my best friend she always supported

  • me when nobody else did and people say support but here I'm giving you a very new vocabulary

  • interesting one that you can make use of when you talk about somebody supporting you, so

  • Sasha supported means, ‘sprang to my defencewhen nobody else did. So for Gemini people,

  • somebody will support you or you will support somebody in the year 2020. Let's move to the

  • next one, ‘cancer’. For cancer we haveput your faith in someone (or something)’.

  • For cancers you will end up trusting people or people will end up trusting you. Make a

  • decision to trust someone, is put your faith in someone. Let's see how we can use it in

  • example, “some people put their faith in strong leaders rather than sound politics.”

  • Some people put their faith, that means they trust, seems like strong personalities rather

  • they should trust the policies that those personalities make and not just the people

  • themselves. Let us now move it to the next one, ‘Leo’. For Leo we havefeeling

  • conflicted’. What is feeling conflicted? State of emotional confusion. So they will

  • feel a lot of confusion in the decisions that they might as well face that they have to

  • make in the year. “mothers of young infants today feel conflictedYoung mothers, means

  • ladies have become mothers recently, with young children always feel conflicted as to

  • they should work outside of home or not, because the child is still an infant and they can't

  • think of leaving home outside with keeping the child at home. This is for Leo. The next

  • one in the list is, ‘Virgo’. Virgo’s are always famous for theircreative flair

  • but what is the meaning of creative flair? It means natural talent of doing something

  • differently. They always have that natural flair that natural creativity of doing anything

  • that is given to them differently. “Best leaders have creative flairthe best leaders

  • in the world always have creative side of their personalityof dealing with and handling

  • any kind of people.” Such leaders are the best in the world and I think I totally agree

  • with this statement because they have a creative flair of handling situations and people. The

  • next birth sign is, ‘Libra’. Let's see, it isfoster your creativitylike Gemini

  • sorry like Virgo, they have creative flair, Libra also will work on their creativity.

  • But they will foster it all the more. What is the meaning of foster creativity? It means,

  • nurture original ideas’. So they're going to be giving birth to original ideas this

  • year in terms of whatever they'll do. For example ‘a teacher can foster creativity

  • by doing practical activities in the classroom’. A good teacher is somebody who foster's, gives

  • birth to creativity by giving and promoting activities that lets students do the work

  • and also appreciate their ideas, that is foster creativity for Libra. The next one in the

  • list is, ‘Scorpio’. Scorpio istake things in your stride’. What is take things

  • in your stride? It means to calmly deal with the situation. Have you ever faced a situation,

  • this question is not just for Scorpios, but for everybody was watching this video, have

  • you ever faced situations where you have to control the situation and that too calmly

  • deal with the situation? Well in case you have then don't just say I dealt with the

  • situation calmly, you say, “I took things in my stride.” For example, “somehow the

  • kids took all the confusion in stride”, that means there was a lot of confusion that

  • was happening and somehow the kids managed to deal with that confusion with a lot of

  • calmness. This is for Scorpio, they'll be able to deal with situations calmly, take

  • things in their stride. The next one and the last one isSagittarius’. Sagittarius,

  • Sagisas they like to call themselves willflesh things out’. Flesh things

  • out mean, to complete something by providing more details, so they'll be able to flesh

  • things out in their lives. For example, “you need to flesh out your assignment to get a

  • better score.” Somebody has prepared an assignment, but it is not as detailed in nature,

  • so the person is being suggested that, you need to flesh out certain details, that is

  • provide some details to get a better score on the project. This is what we have for the

  • horoscope for all the birth signs that we have in the lesson. Thank you very much for

  • being with me in this lesson and I hope you have a great day and most importantly do use

  • these phrases that are associated with your birth signs or any other phrases that you

  • thought you liked to express yourself in a better way in English. Thank you very much

  • and have a great day ahead.
