CROSSWORD YOUR STAR TODAY

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION Aries It might be hard to find the exact direction you’re looking for today. It could be that there’s a strong force urging you to slow down and be more practical with your energy. This may not be the advice you want to hear, but it probably is the advice you need to follow.

Taurus Just when you’re feeling good and solid in your plan, Taurus, something or someone may step in to rain on your parade. You could get the feeling today that you’re taking one step forward and two steps back. Perhaps there’s a feeling of doubt creeping into the picture.

Gemini Restriction might weigh heavily on you today. Perhaps you’re being reminded that there are some important details that you need to take care of. Perhaps you need to adopt a more disciplined approach in your life. Is it time for some restructuring? Don’t be afraid of change, and don’t let feelings of responsibility hold you down.

Cancer Try not to worry too much today. Take care of details and work to get things accomplished. Check things off your list and you’ll feel much better about yourself and Across Down the direction you’re headed. Keep your eyes open and try not to have tunnel vision on every issue.

Virgo You might find it easier to connect with others at this BEETLE BAILEY time. It would behove you to reconnect with friends or family members you may have lost touch with. Their energy can bring an entirely different perspective to your life, which could surprise you with its richness. The aspects are also good for meeting new people. Don’t hesitate to get out there and mix and mingle!

Libra You will find that disciplined actions are the best way to go about your day today. Stay focused on your path. You can accomplish many tasks at the same time if you play your cards right. Try not to get bogged down with details. People might cause you to worry too much. Don’t let their energy get in the way of your progress.

Scorpio Decisions will be even more difficult to make than usual today. On the one hand, you may feel a need to stabilize, while on the other hand find that your energy is raging SUDOKU in a million different directions as you want to seek new experiences and social interactions with others. Try to adopt a plan that combines both of these energies. YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION Nervous energy will keep you moving.

Sagittarius There’s a solid grounding to the day that might have you feeling less than energetic about getting the ball rolling. Don’t be surprised if there’s a sense of restric- tion and duty weighing you down. Times of rest and reflection are very important in the natural cycle. Don’t think that you always need to be on the go in order to make progress.

Capricorn Things will go more and more in your favour over the next four weeks, although today you might find that they’re slow to get moving. It could be that there is a bit of stress on your body and that you aren’t feeling very motivated to get up and go. Don’t worry about it.

Aquarius Discipline and a sense of duty have been major themes for you lately. It might seem like someone has put the brakes on a current plan of yours. Try not to see this as negative. In reality, this is an important time for you to slow down and plan.
