If you goof up, you could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. So, tell your friends you'll be glad to play with them anoth er time. Right now, you're too busy. CTaurus (April 20-May 20) You're apt to be in an affec tionate and generous mood this morning. You wish you could take the day off, but that's prob ably not a good idea. You'd like to spend all day playing, but you have an agenda you're trying to promote. Be efficient, and you can play, too. Gemini (May 21-June 21) Do (LA you need money? If it's for J education, you might have a chance. You could talk some body into backing you in going back to school. It would be a good investment for you; that's obvious. Convince them it's a good investment for them, too, and you're in. CCancer (June 22-July 22) Continue to heed the advice of a wise woman. This could be a relative of yours, but it could also be somebody you've hired. You're pretty good at taking coaching, and that shows you're pretty wise, too. Together, you're a hard team to beat. CLeo (July 23-Aug. 22) Don't worry about the money now. That's not the most important thing. You should be more con cerned about the contacts you're making. Show people you can be relied upon to do a good job, and the money will come. And, there'll be more of it when it does. □Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You're practical, sensible and probably in love. There's a lot of work coming up, but you should be able to play just a little while longer. Some folks think that Virgos are shy. You know you're just interested in perfection. Today, you might find it. nLibra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You're good at putting things into order. You can always find a compromise so that everything goes well together. You do it with col ors, home decor and personalities. Today, those skills could get quite a workout. It's a challenge, but you can do it! I Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) Don't put anything off until tomorrow that you can manage to do now. You always like to be prepared, and this is your big chance. In other words, if you don't get it done ahead, you may not have time to get it done at all. A stitch in time saves nine. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Work, money and education are all important parts of your life, but not necessarily in the same skills. You could be studying something technical, for example, and working at something manual. It's all part of getting where you want to go. Keep at it. capricorn iuec. zz-aan. You're lucky in love, and that's jflr J always nice. This could be the love you share with your close relatives, children or friends and neighbors. If you're like most Capricorns, you don't mind being alone. But, you can give that up for a while. Play with others, instead. □Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You have a lot of great ideas, and you're bubbling over with creativity. If you can stay practical, too, you'll make amazing things happen. It might be wise to get help. A Capricorn woman is the most obvious choice to teach you what you need to know. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You and your buddies have got things under control. You're strong and confident, so you can ask for whatever you need. You do have a puzzle to solve, but don't let that get you down. Think of it as a game, and it'll be part of the fun.
