TUESDAY, DEC. 27, 2016 John Amos, 77. one who is unpredictable will result in CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS Happy Birthday: Consider what feeling misrepresented. Don't feel the DAY: Hayley Williams, 28; Gerard you want to share and what you don't. need to bring about change or to set Depardieu, 68; Cokie Roberts, 73; Offering personal information to some- impossible goals. You will avoid con- flict and disappointment if you are reli- able, responsible and reasonable when dealing with money, health and emotional matters. Your numbers are 9, 13, 22, 28, 36, 45, 47. Contract Bridge ARIES (March 21-April 19): A short by Steve Becker trip will change the way you see others or the beliefs you have lived by for so Hagar the Horrible long. A personal change may come as a surprise, but it could also be some- thing that eventually turns out in your favor. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Bargain shop or make vacation plans. The incentive to match your purchases with discipline and hard work will pay off. Personal gains can be made if you remain dedicated to your beliefs as well as to your promises. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you want to make an impression or profes- sional gain, put in overtime or update your resume and send it out to inter- Dilbert esting online job postings. A partner- ship will have an impact on the choices you make. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Reach out to the people you have worked with through volunteer service, past employment or someone you met dur- ing your school days. A favor will be offered that can help you change direc- tion or get ahead in the new year. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do things with the younger people in your life and the rewards will be fulfilling. Playing games or helping put things together for someone who can't will put Garfield you in the spotlight and boost your popularity. Romance is highlighted. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When faced with change, embrace the inevitable and use your intelligence to navigate your way through any situa- tion that requires your undivided atten- tion. A social event or shopping spree will not solve a problem you face. Don't overspend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Short trips, visiting people you love and doing things with family members will enhance your day. Don't let situations going on at home or work create a Beetle Bailey problem for you. Assess the situation and strategize about how you will han- dle matters. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Tune out if someone is using emotional blackmail to sway you. Stay fixed on what's important and what you enjoy doing the most. A creative outlet will help you bring about a positive change at home. Take care of your health. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Consider what will make you happy and do whatever it takes to turn your dreams into a reality. Changes can be made if you don't evade the issues that need to Dennis the Menace By Ned Classics be faced in order to move forward. By Conrad Day CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Rely on your intuition to help you make the best choice. Check the background of anyone offering a deal that is too good to be true. Don't feel the need to follow what others do. Make your own plans and carry on. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Make a difference and lend a helping hand. What you do for others will turn into a rewarding experience for you. A contract, settlement or investment is favored. Plan something romantic for you and that special person in your life. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Tie up loose ends to ensure you head into the new year free of worry. Getting togeth- er with peers outside of work or the classroom will give you a chance to build a stronger alliance that can help you in the future. Birthday Baby: You are astute, determined and original. You are an opportunist and a scholar. www.clevelandbanner.com Cleveland Daily Banner—Monday, December 26, 2016— 7
