The Quigmans by buddy hickerson c /g>y f A/fV/O _ “I guess you might say I specialize in lawn ornaments.” HOROSCOPES ARIES You’re sharp as a tack, and that’s very good, because you have a tough project ahead. It’ll look much easier as you get into the books. Never doubt that you can do it. How quickly you do it is up to you. TAURUS Gather up as much as you can while the getting’s good. Luckily, you won’t need to do more work now. That’s aleady been taken care of. Just graciously accept whatever you get. GEMINI Imagine that you’re powerful beyond your dreams. If you could have just one wish, what would be most important to you? Pray for it, draw it up and write it all down. Those are the first steps toward making it real. CANCER You may feel as if the weight of the world is on your shoulders. Actually, these are the final few days of difficulty before the sun comes shining through and slides on over into your sign. You can tough it out. LEO You can accomplish wonderful things when you’re backed up by a good team. You’re a natural coach. Spur them on to victory, and they will make you look good. VIRGO The direct approach may not be the most effective way to accomplish what you now want to accomplish. Save that for another time. Don’t ask for money or a promotion. If you respect authority, you might ascend to a loftier level naturally. LIBRA The opportunities now available to you are beyond your wildest dreams. You’ve pushed yourself to try different things, and as you did, new vistas opened up. Explore. SCORPIO Today is a 5 — the things you want will cost more than expected. If you anticipate it, the costs will have to be really outrageous in order to catch you off guard. It could still happen. Beware. SAGITTARIUS Today is a 7 — this is one of those times when it’s better to listen than talk. You’ll be hard-pressed to get a word in edgewise, anyway. Let your adversary have his or her say. You’ll get your turn later. Take notes. CAPRICORN You re building something on the speculation that your efforts will pay off. You believe they will, and that’s enough to keep you going for a while. And besides, you’re right. AQUARIUS Ain’t love grand? You may find yourself falling hopelessly in it, possibly with a person you’ve known (and loved?) for years. Renewing an old commitment is even more fun than starting a new one. PISCES There are so many details to think about, you may feel overwhelmed. Get somebody who’s good at scheduling to sort them into rows. Then, set priorities, and you’ll see that it’s really no harder than baking a cake from scratch.
