HOROSCOPES
ARIES Turn down an invitation
to play. Your work is more
important now. Don’t worry
that friends won’t understand.
If they’re really worth keeping,
they will.
TAURUS Your conflict with
authority isn’t verbal. You’re
more the silent resistant type
who causes slowdowns and
delays. Those tactics could
produce the desired result.
GEMINI It’s not a good time to
launch a project. Wait until
Friday for that. It’s a better
time for building a foundation
for that project.
CANCER Stick with the familiar
and resist change. It’s not a
good day to take risks. Go with
the same old, same old. There’ll
be plenty of change later on.
I.JEO Continue to view things
with suspicion. A crazy idea is
just that _ crazy. Don’t gamble
away your money or pull crazy
stunts. Stunts aren’t likely to go
as rehearsed.
VIRGO You may be planning a
getaway, but you probably
won’t get far now. Things
nearby will keep you occupied.
Provide service quickly.
LIBRA Even though you’re
excellent with words, silence
might work better now.
Somebody important doesn’t
want to hear any more of your
stories, just facts.
SCORPIO If you and your
partner can’t agree, postpone
the decision. There may be
another alternative that neither
of you has proposed.
SAGITTARIUS Get all the figures
to line up. And allow some extra
<
time for mechanical
malfunctions.
CAPRICORN It’s almost
impossible to convince anybody
to do anything. Save your
breath, your money and your
energy.
AQUARIUS It may be necessary
to dig into savings for
something you want for your
home. Just make sure that you
get something of the highest
possible quality. Better invest
in the longer warranty, too.
PISCES You may have been
laboring under a
misconception. Something that
you thought was one way could
turn out to be very different.
Get nosy and find out before
making a commitment.
