Aries (March 21-April 19) You’ll run into
opposition today, but just enough to keep
things interesting. Toss a few ideas around,
and you’ll generate more. The action’s fast and
furious, and you’re in the middle. That’s where
you should be!
Taurus (April 20-May 20) The boat’s rockin’,
but you should be able to steer a steady
course. Changes are going on, but don’t get
distracted. Keep aiming straight for your
long-term goal, and you’ll do fine. And stop
worrying, OK?
Gemini (May 21-June 21) You’re the
perfect one to keep a spontaneous
person balanced. You’re creative, too, and
that’ll come in handy. The game ismoving
quickly, with lots of surprises. Make
modifications now; it’ll be more difficult later.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) A difficult
situation should ease up. That’s the good
news. The bad news is that there’s still a lot of
uncertainty. If you like action, you should enjoy
this show. It’s hard to tell which way you
should go, however. Stay on your toes.
Leo (July 23-Aug. zz) u you re
expanding your area of influence, you may run
into new troubles. This is natural. You should
expect it when you’re taking new territory. Try
not to get flustered. It doesn’t do you any
good, and it confuses your friends.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) All heck’s
breaking loose. If you kept your nose out of
trouble and your money hidden in a safe
place, you should be fine. Don’t a borrower or
a lender be, and don’t blindly follow the advice
of an older or younger person.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) A standoff’s in effect.
You want one thing, and your partner wants
another. It’s not so easy to delegate the
decision-making this time. You want what you
want! Maybe you both should study more
before making a major purchase.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You may feel
stuck between a rock and a hard place. But,
there’s work to be done. Instead of worrying,
just do it. Everybody has an opinion about how
you should spend this paycheck; don’t listen.
Hide it away, instead. Then, make some time
to think — in private.
i
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Woops! What
have you done? An argument could make you
wonder if you can stand to be in relationships.
Maybe you should head for far distant places ^
on your own? Nah, don’t run off just yet. In a
few days, things will look different.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Get your orders
straight before you tackle a tough job. Your
regular routine may not produce the right
results. You don’t want to do the whole thing
over, so ask. Draw some attention to the task
now, and you could save time later.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) They
double-booked your flight of fantasy. There ^
may not be room for you! You may have to
work harder than you’ve ever worked before,
but that’s OK. Put in the effort, and you can
turn a potential disaster into a fabulously
memorable experience.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You want to buy
beautiful gifts for special people, but you also
want to save. What to do? Save wisely, get
wealthy, buy gifts. It takes a while, but it sure
works better than the other way around.
