CROSSWORD YOUR STAR TODAY

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION Aries Are you sure that other people wouldn’t like you to be in another space than where you are right now, or even be a different person than the one you always thought you were? These questions are beginning to bother you. Devote some time to thinking about them. Taurus People will understand and appreciate your desire to stand out from the crowd today. This isn’t a sign of arrogance on your part. It’s just that you’re particu- larly perceptive right now and people need your good advice. Since you’re ready to step into the spotlight and shine like the stars that are giving you all this wonderful energy, go for it. Gemini You love everyone on this planet, and this isn’t the day to come bothering you with all the little details of everyday life.

You never missed a chance to share your viewpoint. Then all of a sudden, silence. Perhaps you needed to get some perspective, not necessarily on BEETLE BAILEY the things you know, but on how you express that knowledge. Virgo How about changing roles today? It’s true that you aren’t one for idle chat. You prefer taking action rather than talking about grandiose ideas that never go any- where. Yet today you may actually feel like discussing things in depth. The stars’ alignments are bringing out this other side of you, so take advantage of the energy. Libra Scientists are sometimes pretty strange. They can be so engrossed in reality that they seem almost absent from it, as if they float above the Earth. That’s a bit how you feel about things, too. You like to explain the world in your own special way, the way you see it and not necessarily the way it really is. That’s your secret.

Pisces It’s always like this at first with you. You know some- thing is happening but have no idea what. It’s as if electricity flows through you. You’re practically vibrating with emotion. You can feel other people’s emotions, too. Begin by listening to your heart and feeling the sensation in your body. Only then will you be able to judge the intensity of your feelings. Could this be desire - or love? 16 TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 2018
