DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, June 12, 2019: This year, you will be able to make some important decisions revolving around a creative project, a child or a potential love affair. You will make the correct choice for yourself. If single, your love life could be quite fun if you are willing to dedicate time to this process! If attached, the two of DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker you feel like teenagers in love. Be careful, or you might find you have a new addition to the family. LIBRA nearly always gives good love advice!

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You will speak your mind, but will you know when it is appropriate to defer to the other party? This preference will emerge as a strong and positive option. Reach out for a respected, wise adviser if questioning SCARY GARY Mark Buford an issue around this possibility. Tonight: Say yes to an invitation. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Take charge in dealing with a dif- ficult authority figure. Your attitude could define and direct the issue and person at hand. You might be surprised at his or her response. Remain optimistic that others can see the positive side of an issue. Tonight: Indulge yourself. Go off for a massage or visit the gym. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Crosswords You have no concept of how dynamic you are. When you have a cer- tain goal in mind, you are difficult to stop. DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni Your creativity and intellect merge to find the right path. Others might step back to observe your actions! Tonight: Let the fun begin. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your feelings about a family mem- ber or a domestic issue emerge. Home and family remains a primary issue, and the events and ideas will not take away from this focus. What occurs enforces how com- mitted you are to the personal side of your life. Tonight: Have a brainstorming session with a family member. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Beam in what you want, but don’t B.C. Mastroianni and Hart underestimate the importance of having support from others. You have the ability to see beyond the obvious, which becomes evident to others in a discussion. Tonight: Speak your mind. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH It might be difficult to put a halt to extending yourself too much. You under- stand the implications. You might not want to go to that extreme, yet you must for other reasons. Tonight: An unexpected incident might open your eyes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You feel that you have the abili- ty to move a difficult situation past the obvi- ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie ous. An important decision could radically change because of a positive conversation with someone else involved. You feel em- powered. Tonight: As you like it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Take some time off from a problem and decide to change topics and thoughts, if possible. Do some other work or activ- ity that renews your energy. Your finances could be subject to your whims! Tonight: As you like it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Zero in on what you desire. Pres- sure builds to achieve this goal. You might not only be hard on yourself as you eye this ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett desire, but also on those involved or around you. Take a walk or go off for a break, if needed. Tonight: Evaluate a sudden change. Slow down. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You stay centered despite a tendency to feel pressure and a need to take the lead with others. That ability to keep your cool separates you from others and plays into your career. Tonight: Going to the wee hours. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Reach out for a loved one or a Cryptoquip special friend at a distance. You like this person’s feedback, even if it is critical. You ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe know this person means only the best, which is why you do not take his or her comments personally. Tonight: Surf the web. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Let a partner have more of a say. This person might not always make the same choices as you, but his or her logic is sound, if you are willing to listen. Finances could be involved. Tonight: With your best friend. BORN TODAY Former president George H.W.
