HOROSCOPES
ARIES The more things you
suggest, the more reasons
you’ll hear why they won’t
work. This is useful, but it can
be frustrating. If you’re not
into collecting reasons why
not, keep your suggestions to
yourself.
TAURUS Let somebody else
provide the brawn. You can be
the brains behind the
operation. Make sure the other
person understands what you
want, then sit back and watch
it happen.
GEMINI If necessary, call in the
law to help you get what’s been
promised. If you qualify for a
bonus or prize, make sure you
get it.
CANCER You may notice people
getting almost borderline
ridiculous about what they’11
do and what they won’t. You
can afford to be flexible, and

Monday’s concert was titled
“Piano Fireworks,” so I expected
it to be loud, but Lomazov’s per
formance of “Variations on a
Theme by Paganini” spiraled
into chaos near the end. I want
ed to bury my head in my lap and
start screaming, “Stop, please.”
It felt as though I had picked the
wrong spot, a grassy field right
next to the fireworks’ cannons.
Senior citizens composed
about half of the audience, so I
guess the youth of Columbia was
at home watching reruns of
“American Idol.” I thought I spot
that’s a welcome relief.
LEO You'll notice that not
everyone goes along with
something you have in mind.
This is where all that
preparation you’ve done will
prove useful. This time, you
probably won’t get by on your
good looks alone.
VIRGO The others may not want
to listen to reasons, though
you’ve got plenty of them. You
can lead horses to water, but
you can’t make them think. Be
patient with associates.
LIBRA If you’re like most other
Libras, you hate to stick to a
budget, You’d rather make
sure the fashion industry
moves its merchandise — and
this could be one of those days.
SCORPIO Embarrassing
questions are being asked
about your financial reserves.
Even more troubling, you may

USC professors aren’t the only
musicians whose fingers will be
roaming the keyboards. The fes
tival features pianists Alan Chow
from Northwestern University
and Natalya Antonova from
Eastman School of Music, who
will help 20 of the nation’s most
talented piano students from
middle school and high school to
polish their craft.
Lomazov lauded the eager kids
in her introductory comments,
implying that hopefully they will
pass down the musical torch.

reaches of the Southeast and be

SAGITTARIUS Seems like
everybody has a different point
of view. The only thing they
agree on is that their own
opinion is the right one. And
you get to referee this mess? Be
careful.
CAPRICORN The others want to
help you out but don’t know
what to do. You may have to
start giving directions, or
they’ll simply be in the way.
AQUARIUS Somebody’s trying
to talk you out of doing what
you want. That’s quite
annoying, but be patient and
explain again.
PISCES Your intuition should
be working well, so listen, but
don’t get too involved with
problems you can’t solve. Point
the other person toward
spiritual guidance.

The concerts cost $15 per day
and $80 for the week.
