Attention to detail and service are the keys. Taurus (April 20-May 20) You i—1 should be getting up to stride today. \ W J There’s way too much to do in the morning, but somehow it’s not phas ing you. You’re not as easily rattled as you have been — not by a long shot. You’re confident and growing more sure of yourself every minute. It’s a confidence you’ve earned, by the way, so flaunt it. Gemini (May 21-June 21) The great [ / | feeling you had going this weekend \ J could carry over and inspire you to try something outrageous. Could be you’ve been doing your job the hard way.

Think of the answers ahead of time. ^ Cancer (June 22-July 22) People j j should be in a good mood this morn ing. That’s important ‘cause it can set the tone for your whole day. It’ll still be relatively easy to make changes if you move quickly. Don’t hesitate to ask for what you want; your chances are better now. If it costs any money at all, it’s a sure bet you won’t get it tomorrow. □LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll feel pretty feisty this morning —, and hopefully not too hung over. You’ll have A little slack. The boss isn’t going to make any big demands on you until tomorrow. It might behoove you, how ever, to figure out what those are going to be and to get prepared. Leo is, after all, the sign of scouting. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might /I JL A be in a romantic mood, but it may be VUP J difficult to make the connection. At a V5L> reasonable hour, anyway. Once the day’s underway, there’ll be so much to do, you won’t have time A phone call or brief conversation may have to suffice. No problem. In that conversation, set something up for tomorrow night. nLibra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Where’s the money coming from? That’s what has you worried, so today, why don’t you do something about it? Figure out where the money is, for starters. Don’t get upset if there doesn’t seem to be enough. That’s an optical illusion. Actually, there’s plenty. Getting it into your bank account is the game. Why not become a serious player? Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) There’s plenty of work today; that’s for sure. You may not have time for a coffee break, much less lunch! The good news is that you may even get to work some overtime! That’s good because if it happens, your paycheck gets fatter. And, tonight, you and your mate may realize you have something unexpected to spend it on. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You should be clicking right along today.

If you don’t know the answer, don’t make one up. Do the research. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’re \ just about to go into a nice phase. 90W J You’re looking better every minute and attracting quite a bit of atten tion. You’ve thought of yourself as a hard worker, but have you thought of yourself as a cuddle bunny? Well, get used to it! Actually, Capricorn is one of the most sensual signs in the zodiac. Today, make time to prac tice. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You may still be a little high from the weekend. Your euphoria’s going to wear off though; bet on it. Also, pay attention to what’s happening around you. All the differences of agreement haven’t been resolved yet, by any means. Don’t get too dreamy-eyed, or too busy patting your self on the back. Watch where you’re going and what the others are up to, too. PiSCCS (Feb. 19-March 20) Your fan tasies could get more solid today. You’re most likely getting curious about how to make them happen. Education’s required, but that’s OK. It won’t be hard. Nobody’s going to grade you on it. Nobody but you, and reality itself, of course. If you keep learning, you might make your dreams come true. Go for it. You have nothing to lose.
