Right now, however, you may have to do some juggling to meet everybody's demands. You won't be able to do it all simultaneously. TAURUS It's not a good time to travel or to abandon your familiar routine. Conditions are changing in your favor, though. Give it another day. GEMINI You'll soon have to start getting practical, but don’t let that slow you down. Make more and buy less. That works. You're quite talented, of course. CANCER You'll soon find it easier to get your meaning across. You may even find that one person who won't have to be told at all — not out loud, anyway. LEO You're in the mood to study, and that's appropriate. You should know, however, that you're also stirring things up. This isn't necessarily bad, but it could lead to a confrontation. VIRGO Conditions will soon change in your favor. As usual, when things are in a state of flux, it's best to double-check your work. LIBRA You catch more bees with honey than with vinegar, as you know. Kind words will help you make your point and win the argument. SCORPIO It's getting easier for you to concentrate and to remember what you learn. Your love life should be improving, too. These conditions stay in effect for several weeks. Enjoy. SAGITTARIUS You'll find it easier to keep track of your money in the next few weeks. One reason why is because most of it is being spent on your home and family. Don't blow it on nights out with friends. That would be a bad idea. CAPRICORN For the next several weeks, you'll find it much easier to get your message across. This is partly because you'll better understand exactly what you're trying to say. AQUARIUS You’d be smart not to take anything at face value for a little while. Dig deeper to understand what's going on underneath. You may be surprised. This isn't a good time to travel, either. PISCES You'll soon find it easier to let people know exactly how you feel, and you won't even need many words. What a relief!

Submit your anonymous questions to adviceatusc@hotmail.com. We offer no personal responses via e-mail. The CHDC professional staff supervises all interns. The following advice represents the opinions of the CHDC and not necessarily the opinions of The Gamecock. QUESTION: I am really begin ning to dislike my roommate, al though we got along fine last semester. She has been in my business nonstop. Whenever I get a call, she listens in and re sponds. Sometimes I have to change phones. When my boyfriend calls, she chats it up with him before giving me the phone. I am suspicious and even monitor what has been eaten in the refrigerator. Normally, I am easygoing and don’t care about petty things. How can I survive this semester living with her? ANSWER: It sounds like you are pretty frustrated. You are smart to ask questions now rather than endure a “cold war” with your roommate. However, it may be overwhelming for your roommate to be presented with so many problems all at once. Try dealing with just one problem. For instance, you could say that you prefer to have privacy when you speak on the phone. This is very understand able and your needs should be respected. If she forgets or ig nores your request, then remind her of your need with an “I” statement. "I mentioned to you the other day that I prefer pri vacy when I am speaking on the phone, so I ant going to leave the room." After your phone call, thank your roommate for un derstanding your need. This is an assertive way of handling a concern rather than a passive (do nothing) or aggressive (blaming) approach. Being as sertive will help you get your needs met without unduly of fending your roommate. Hopefully, you could establish a win-win relationship at the be ginning of the semester and can successfully resolve many oth er problems.
