HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19) You
^ could perform brilliantly today,
but also, expect several disap
pointments. Don't tell the boss
what you really think. Stifle that.
Same goes for traffic cops.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) You
can be the mouse in the corner,
as your friends deal with big
hassles. Don't give your opin
ion until asked but be ready. They just
might listen to your advice this time.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
There won't be enough of any
thing, early in the day. Later
1 on, conditions stabilize. If you
want to fight for a bargain, you could
brave the crowds. If you can wait, by
all means, do so.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) A
temperamental person may
pitch another fit. Isn't it funny
how adults sometimes act like
spoiled children? Don't think somebody
else's problem is your fault. You'll do
moi’e good by staying calm.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) If you
want to put your plans into
action, do it early. A lot is
going on, but there's also less
opposition. Later in the day, there'll be
more resistance to change.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If
| 1 you're managing other people's
money, tell them to leave it
where it is. Same goes for
yours. If you're in business, put stuff on
sale. People will buy anything that has
a red tag on it.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You
may feel a tad wired. Pay
attention so you don't go too
fast. No need to get into a
fender bender. Be cautious, as well as
efficient, and you'll save yourself future
regrets.
□Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) The
intensity continues just a little
while longer. This evening and
weekend should go well. Befora
that happens, however, you'd better
keep going at full efficiency. Cut the
frills.
nSagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
The past few days have been
hectic. You've done well, espe
cially compared to others. You
can understand what's going on, and
that's helpful. Save your explanations
for later.
□Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
The week's been busy; that's
for sure. The weekend won't be
as intense. You might be able
to wind things down by this evening
and to make a little time for love.
Home's your best location.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Complete projects as quickly
as possible. The earlier, the
better. Get home as soon as
you can. Tonight a complicated conver
sation with family members could be
relaxing.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your life should get easier,
soon. You may have been a tad
stressed about money lately. If
so, you still have time to ask for a raise
or to apply for a better job. Make it an
early night.
