ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you become overly zealous and talkative, you may give away an idea you have to someone less creative. Secrets and underhandedness on your part or that of someone else will bring you down. Don’t get involved. 5 stars

Ashley Rosson Ashley TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take a good look at your invest-

Fun-ology ments, bank and credit card balances and any joint ventures you are involved in. Assess your position and your alternatives. This is not the time to lend, borrow or take a chance. 3 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t let life’s little problems cause you grief. If you are irritated by someone you thought you could rely on, you could say something that will cost you down the road. Don’t change your plans because someone else does. 3 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): You have nothing to fear, so jump into a new project or group that offers something a little differ- ent from what you are used to. Don’t let your feelings confuse you. Don’t let anyone play on your emotions. 3 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your big heart, generosity and out- spokenness will tempt others to take advantage of you. Don’t promise anyone anything unless you can afford it. Trips and

David Myers Myers David negotiations should be put on hold until you have a better chance of getting your way. 5 stars

Pex & Solly Pex VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You don’t have to make a move if you aren’t ready. Question anyone who is erratic or using emo- tional blackmail to coerce you. Now is not the time to spend money on your home or donate or pay for others. 2 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You can add a little extra flavor to your life if you try something new. The friends you make and the inspiration you get along the way will lead to positive changes. Team up with someone who values your skills, tech- nique and your friendship. 4 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You need to be around people who encourage and inspire you. Personal and professional partnerships will grow if you mingle and network. You can de- velop or take a new approach. 4 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you haven’t built a strong

PJ Spokas PJ tie to a group you have been dealing with you, may be cut out when you least expect. Honesty and integrity will be a neces- sity. Underhandedness will catch up with you. 3 stars Wear Am I? Wear CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have plenty of good ideas to put into play and, if you give them a distinctive spin, you will attract interest in what you are doing. Don’t give in to any- one looking for a handout or donation or negotiating an unfair deal. 3 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may be in a generous mood but, before you fall for a sob story, consider where your money is best spent. Take into consideration what you can do to make your life, and that of your family, better. Don’t be too eager to make changes or decisions. 4 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Sit tight and watch to see what everyone else does. If you jump the gun or make a move that isn’t well received, you will have trouble reversing your deci- sion. Problems with personal and professional partnerships Jenna Allen
