Horoscopes
ARIES You'll soon find it easier
to concentrate on your career.
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!

Welcome to What’s Up, the

Human Development Center

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.
