ARIES (March 21-April 19): Keep a lid on private matters. You don’t want to be embarrassed. Someone is likely to push you to do something that doesn’t sit right with you. Stick to your standards and keep things out in the open. 3 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t let uncertainties get you
Ashley Rosson Ashley down. When things aren’t clear-cut, wait until you understand
Fun-ology the implications before you make a decision. Someone you re- spect will give you a different perspective. 3 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Dazzle everyone with your com- passion, creativity and desire to do something unique. You will impress the people who can influence your life and, in turn, get the introductions you need to reach your goals. Friendship is in the stars. 5 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): Social events may lead to an embarrassing situation if you have been withholding informa- tion or gossiping. Someone may put the pressure on you to do more than your fair share. Don’t be afraid to say no. 2 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Things look bright and a chance to make a difference is apparent. Alter anything at home that isn’t to your liking and you will ease your stress and encourage the people you care about to do the same. Love is on the rise. 4
David Myers Myers David stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t take no for an answer.
Pex & Solly Pex Follow through and make sure everyone is pulling his or her weight. You can control the outcome of a tenuous situation by staying on top of what everyone else is doing. 3 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your emotions will push you to take action but don’t do the wrong thing because you aren’t happy with someone. Instead, focus on your creative outlets. Get involved with someone who can expand your interests and outlook. 3 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t be fooled by appearances. You have to get the story straight and stick to what you believe. Nothing can be resolved easily but, at least if you know what you are dealing with, you stand a better chance of getting a fair shake. 3 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Approach something you’ve
PJ Spokas PJ been trying to accomplish from a different angle and you will have better luck. Talk to people with whom you used to associ- ate professionally or personally. With a clear attitude and plan, Wear Am I? Wear you can finish what you started. 4 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Listen but don’t get involved in someone else’s scheme. Once you recognize what needs to be done, you can go it alone and do much better. Partnerships are not your best bet at the moment. 2 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Something good will come of an upset you recently endured. A gift, winning or gain of some sort is heading your way. A old friend will remind you of some- thing you used to do that will help you achieve something you want now. 5 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t take a back seat to anyone who is causing trouble for you. In order to make the most of an upcoming opportunity, you must temper any emotional is- sues. You can manipulate the situation in your favor. 3 stars Jenna Allen Aisle 9
