CROSSWORD Your star today You’re especially attuned to the feelings of (Mar 21st - Apr 20th) others. This gift is more blessing than curse, yet YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION there are times when it’s hard not to take on the troubles of others. Today a close friend may unload his or her burdens on you. Listen kindly, offer advice, but don’t offer to do more than is realistic. After all, this isn’t your problem. Delays seem to rule the day, and there’s no (Apr 21st - May 21st) getting around them. Traffic snarls plague the commute and calls don’t get returned. You feel as though you’re spending the day stuck in a revolving door, whirling around but getting nowhere. Take heart and do your best to get through with some of your humour intact. Chocolate helps. The bubble you’ve been living in for a long (May 22nd - Jun 21st) time may burst today. You could face some real disappointments. Try not to let this get you down. Keep the big picture in mind as best you can. Remind yourself that trips or meetings or fun days out can always be rescheduled, and then you’ll have the pleasure of looking forward. This is a day to be directed inward rather than outward. It’s a good thing, too, because the (June 22nd - July 23rd) outer world isn’t too pleasant. Nothing seems to be going right. Checks aren’t arriving and calls aren’t returned. You’re feeling ineffective at best. Take heart. It has nothing to do with you and everything to do with the planets. The mood will pass. Meanwhile, do something fun by yourself.

R (Sep 24th - Oct 23rd) Today is a day to rest on your laurels, literally. BEETLE BAILEY You’ve achieved a tremendous amount in the last few days. You’ve earned some time off. Call in sick and go see a movie in the middle of the day. Take yourself out to lunch and order a glass of the best champagne. Take this day to reflect on your accomplishments before you set your mind on the next project. Flowers and fresh plants can perk up your (Oct 24th - Nov 22nd) mood as well as your home. You may feel your abode is looking a bit shabby. Simple tricks to improve its appearance will do wonders for your outlook. Go to a kitchen store and splurge on a few new items. Put a pot of herbs in a window. You’ll be amazed at the change in your mood and in the room!

You’re in a spiritual state of mind today. Your (Nov 23rd - Dec 21st) dreams are vivid and you’re sure they’re trying to tell you something specific. It’s hard to dispel the urge to travel. In particular, you’re drawn YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION to someplace where you can study a different culture. Such a trip might not be practical now, but you can manage some online research on the subject! It’s important to confront your troubles head (Dec 22nd- Jan 20th) on, but not at the expense of putting your life on hold. An important person, someone who acted as your touchstone, no longer figures prominently in your life. This is a difficult adjustment for you. Make an extra effort not to turn inward as is your tendency in times of trouble. Force yourself to socialize and you may find a new friend.

(Jan 21st - Feb 19th) Looking good is the best revenge. If you’re trying to get over a failed relationship, the best way to pull yourself out of a depression is to look your very best. Get up early and go for a run or an exercise class. Buy some new clothes and take extra care with your grooming. You’ll lift your spirits and attract a new, more fitting partner. As much as you enjoy being out with people, (Feb 20th - Mar 20th) tonight is a good evening for rest. If you can, try taking the afternoon off.
