Don’t go shopping yet — that would be premature. TAURUS You’re very confident now, and good-looking. You have a kind of flair that others admire and emulate. You’re attracting attention. GEMINI If you’ve forgotten an obligation, you’ll be reminded soon. Race around and do the things you know about, quickly. CANCER Friends are enthusiastic and fun to be around. You’ll get in trouble, however, if you forget a family matter. LEO The work looks like fan, and it pays pretty well. The only trouble is it takes you away when you’d rather stay home, temporarily. VIRGO Conditions are finally stabilizing. But don’t take off quite yet on your celebratory vacation. Everything’s not ready. LIBRA The dilemma is that you have a couple of things you want to buy. Can you afford them? Better figure that out first. SCORPIO They say that opposites attract. That might be true, especially if you admire the differences. You’ll get to see if you do, or can, soon. SAGITTARIUS If you’ve got any untried . ideas, save them until later. People who are short on time are not in the mood to listen. CAPRICORN You’re so cute, your biggest problem involves scheduling. Be very careful not to promise to be in two places at the same time. AQUARIUS CarefUl contemplation is required, so just relax. Take your time and don’t be pushed into making the wrong decision. PISCES It’s time to go back to school, via your own home-study program. Practice your skills in private, and you’ll go far. m.' ■ mi As a Credit Union Service Center Partner, II J CAROLINA COLLEGIATE FEDERAL CREDIT UNION ^^BWB Making a difference. one member at a t Intel
