DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Nov. 2, 2019: This year, you will evolve and grow to a new level. How you see a situation could radically change because of the insights you gain. If sin- gle, you could meet someone who seems seri- ous and cold. Underneath, this person is a hot tamale. Go for it. If attached, the two of you DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker often deal with differences but have learned to honor them. As a result, you get along well. Communication becomes an even bigger prior- ity. Staying bonded and close makes you both more comfortable. CAPRICORN relies on the tried-and-true.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So- so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)  You could be overly serious about a personal matter or an authority figure when you expect to experience a different type of interac- SCARY GARY Mark Buford tion. As a result, you can be feisty and difficult. Chill; it is the weekend. Change your tune. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)  Reach out for someone at a distance who you respect and understand. Do not try to push your luck. You will discover it is much easier to be open and direct. This person often shares intense experiences with you. Tonight: Listen to great music. Crosswords GEMINI (May 21-June 20)  One-on-one relating draws a strong result when sharing news with a loved one. Your intuitive response could be to force DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni this person to change his or her mind. Don’t. Go with the flow. Appreciate different impressions. Tonight: A close encounter. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your emotional tenor could be greatly impacted by a loved one’s moods. Anger could be close to the surface without you real- izing it. Give others space to work through their issues. Avoid a confrontation. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)  Pace yourself, recognizing that everyone has limits -- like it or not. Anger comes up from nowhere, perhaps even when sharing a B.C. Mastroianni and Hart joke. Know that intense emotions are just below the surface. Tonight: Whatever you do, choose something relaxing. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)  You remain in a playful mood; however, if you do not get the response you expect, you could become feisty and/or difficult. Give others the space to be moody and you’ll create much more of what you want. Tonight: Play the night away. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)  You sense pressure and moodiness below the surface when dealing with a family member. You will not believe another person’s ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie reaction if you say something that he or she deems hostile or disagreeable. Think twice before you act. Tonight: Play it low-key. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)  You have a lot on your mind and have difficulty relating well to someone you really care about. Be honest with this person if you feel off or jumpy. Try to go for a lengthy walk or release stress with another preferred exercise. Tonight: Out at a favorite spot. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)  Be aware of the costs of continuing as you have. You could be inordinately tired or withdrawn. Take a day off from your daily ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett grind, and indulge in some laziness. You will be a lot happier if you do. Tonight: Keep to your budget. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)  Your personality could melt barriers, if you so choose. Help others come toward you and be more easygoing. If mulling over a problem or trying to avoid a power play, simply do not become part of it. Tonight: Ask and you shall receive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)  You might choose to take the next Cryptoquip few days off from your hectic schedule. You could be pleased by what comes up for you. You ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe will want to do this type retreat a little more often. You can avoid a difficult situation by not getting involved. Tonight: Not to be seen. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)  You need some time with a friend; this person could be more if you want. Conversation tends to be volatile at times, espe- cially today. Rather than get into a power play, choose to do something differently. The result will make you happier. Tonight: As you like it.
