HOROSCOPES THE COMICS Aries (March 21 - April 19) A mark, a yen, a buck or a pound; this a great chance to get your fi- nances in order. Starting to save now is a fantastic way to ensure long-term monetary stability and happiness. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Though things may seem like they are in a flurry, pausing to look at the entirety of the situation will prove a better result for all. Gemini (May 21 - June 20) It’s okay to assert your leadership because, baby, you’re a firework, so let’s go and show them what you’re worth. Make them go “Oh, Oh, Oh!”—in a good way, of course. Cancer (June 21 - July 22) Now is the time to finally check off BY ALEXANDRA RODEN the things which have been sitting, waiting on your list to be complet- ed. Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) The changing seasons will make you feel like spring has sprung. A new exuberance and energy will take hold, pushing you towards positivity and optimism. Virgo (Aug. 22 - Sept. 22) Ever considered track and field? Seriously, your legs are perfect for jumping over hurdles. Oh wait, the stars were talking about metaphori- cal hurdles. Whoops. Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) Don’t be afraid to be a little out- going. It is never too late to make new ties and strengthen old ones. Pizza is always a way to someone’s heart—and their stomach. BY TYLER CARR Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) BY KELLY RICE Pent up frustration and anger will only consume you. Find something positive to relieve stress over the break. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) Sorry, Mercury just isn’t answer- ing my calls, so I’ll just give you his voice mail greeting: “Don’t worry, be happy.” Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) It’s okay to be a little vulnerable and accept when things may not have gone the way you hoped. Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) There is a reason for all that you do, and I appreciate that. Thinking methodically rather than acting on emotion can make for useful prob- lem solving. Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20) Sometimes it’s good to be there for others, even when they don’t ask you to. Being able to say “What can I do to help?” is a valuable skill that can only benefit you and those BY HANS VOEGELI around you. BY DANI BENAK
