Weekly Horoscope BY MISS ANNA

ARIES: (March 21-April 20) It’s a great week to improve relationships, particularly within the family. This may be the opportune time to reach out to someone who looks up to you, possibly a child. Be alert to all money opportunities, postponing any major decisions for now.

TAURUS: (April 21 - May 21) You are looking and feeling your best, so use this positive energy to your advantage—get out and accomplish things. Communications with others go well—you are a mind reader with all around you. Tensions elsewhere may find you taking it out on a loved one.

GEMINI: (May 22 - June 21) Make it a point of getting chores and errands out of the way earlier, because it looks like rest, relaxation and partying is in store for later. Be aware of the helpful insights surrounding you, rapid advancement at work may be a result of heeding suggestions.

CANCER: (June 22 - July 23) La Familia Alvarado: Shown in the 1920 passport photo are: Felipe Alvarado, Serfina Herrera de Alvarado, and Personal financial planning is favored. Your intuition is Maria Alvarado (Cervantes). See related feature story by Alan Abrams on page 1. sharpened concerning money matters. You may run into an intense blow out with a mate or lover—keep your cool, things will straighten out rather quickly. Spend some time by yourself.

LEO: (July 24- August 23) It will be a busy week for you. Hard work on your part will bring you closer to your career and personal goals. Be supportive of family members, someone is going through a tough time. Resolve financial concerns you have now, before things get out of hand.

VIRGO: (August 24 - September 23) You are eager to help out wherever needed, but avoid those who manipulate your actions. Be sure that your efforts go to a good cause. Enjoy a break from the routine for a couple days. Luck will find you with extra dollars you weren’t expecting at all.

LIBRA: (September 24 - October 23) You are ready to conquer any obstacles this week. It may not be a bad idea to spend some time alone, because your criticisms of others may get you in deep water. It’s hard to concentrate, and daydreaming won’t hurt—unconscious messages have practical value.

SCORPIO: (October 24 - November 22) This week finds you in tune with your lover or mate, which makes for great fun and accomplishments for the next several days. It looks quite favorable for you to move closer to your goals. If people at work don’t argue with you, they will argue around you- keep a low profile.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 - December 21) You need to get away from your hectic routine to be alone with your thoughts. Be confident of success in business dealings. Avoid any unpleasant financial surprises by going over matters to clear up any discrepancies. You can reach a meeting of minds with opponents.

CAPRICORN: (December 22 - January 20) A friend challenges you to break out of your shell and promote yourself for advancement. Maybe it’s time - trust yourself and you’ll be happier in the long run. A great career opportunity presents itself, and you’ll move ahead without upsetting anyone.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 - February 19) It’s hard to avoid confrontations. Someone you have recently befriended may turn on you. It’ll be better to remain silent than be drawn into unnecessary arguments. Travel is favored for the next several weeks. If involved in litigation, expect to win.

PISCES: (February 20 - March 20) Career advancement seems effortless, so pursue your most cherished goal. Co-workers will welcome your great ideas. It may be a good idea to spend a little bit of time on your own, getting back in touch with yourself. Resolve differences that are putting distance between you and a loved one.

IF THIS WEEK IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You usually prefer to follow the logical path rather than trusting your intuition. However, your intuition can enhance your accu- racy about situations when you team it with reason. Whether you admit it or not, you have experienced intense psychic moments, which may make you a bit uneasy. Page 6 La Prensa September/septiembre 18, 2002
