» HOROSCOPE

10 is the easiest day, 0 the most chal- lenging.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Today is an 8 Although you’re very busy, you can still make time for love. It won’t be all that diffi cult. Prioritize.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Today is a 7 As always, you’ll do best with your loved ones on your side. Let them know your plans, and how they can fi t in.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Today is a 6 You often have the correct answer, so you may become upset if your analysis comes under attack. Don’t argue _ listen and learn.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Today is a 7 Your routine is already disrupted, so cut yourself some slack. Slow and easy does it; don’t wear yourself out.

» SAL & ACE LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is an 8 Somebody you like very much also thinks the world of you. No point in arguing; let yourself be convinced. It’s a lot more fun.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is an 8 You know what you want, but getting it is something of a hassle. Start by cleaning up the most immediate mess. You’ll feel better.

CALEB GOELLNER LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) THE EMPIRE NEVER ENDED Today is a 7 » There’s a lot of confusion going around. Don’t let it bother you. Every- thing doesn’t make sense yet, but that doesn’t mean it never will. Be patient, and stay out of traffi c.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7 Your team looks to you for advice, and it’s a good thing that they do. They’re just about to spend too much of your money. Holler.

TRAVIS NELSON SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is an 8 » LIZARD BOY Although you’re confi dent, and with good reason, you also need to have the facts. The person who’s asking the question now is something of a ped- ant. It’s OK to look at notes.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 7 Get serious about planning your trip. Check your lists and your suitcase again. It’s good not to forget impor- tant things, but don’t worry too much about that. You can always get another one. SAM HEMPHILL AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) » BOY EATS WORLD Today is a 7 Your friends are very encouraging, but don’t let them talk you into doing something you can’t aff ord. Stick with cheap fun for a while.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 7 Don’t let yourself be distracted. You have an advantage over the others. You can see what needs to be done, and you can do it. Don’t wait to be told.
