They’re a quite a bit harder to come by, taste exactly the same, and are exorbitantly more expensive, but they make me marginally cooler than the guy next to me — and that’s all that really matters in life, right? • Vagueness is more or less one of the things I hate most. • I strongly feel that I deserve KRUI more entitlement. • Sometimes I create new idioms programming and attempt to popularize them for the sake of attribution; that’s just how this worm zigzags.

Tuesday, October 20, 2015 horoscopes by Eugenia Last ARIES (March 21-April 19): Protect your position and your reputation. Don’t let anyone bully you or cause you to make an impulsive move that isn’t to your benefit. Use your intelligence to gain ground and out- smart anyone who gets in your way. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Express the way you feel by taking action and following through with your plans. Take a day trip or converse with someone who has information that will help you make positive adjust- ments to the way you live. Romance is highlighted. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t overdo it. Leave yourself enough time to take care of your responsibilities. You will face opposition if you are too whimsical or don’t take action. Exercise discipline, and you will overcome adversity and indulgence. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Search for the positives, and ignore anyone focusing on negativity. It’s up to you to choose a path that offers op- portunity. Don’t rely on someone else to make you happy. Doing what’s right for you will lead to satisfaction. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Check out the job market to see if something interests you. Even if you are happy with your current position, you will either gain a sense of comfort in staying where you are or see the possibilities of making a move. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Let your imagination wander, and you will release some of the pent-up energy you are harboring. Look for solu- tions to the problems you are experiencing with friends, relatives, or neighbors. Share your thoughts, and you will feel free to move forward. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Refuse to let anyone take advantage of you. Don’t share your personal secrets or prematurely divulge a plan you want to develop. Keeping the peace is your forte, but look out for bul- lies, and be prepared to weather the storm. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Talk to your peers, and see if anyone can contribute to a project you are undertaking. Appeal to the emotional side of those sharing your values, and you will drum up support and position yourself as a forerunner. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Keep a low profile. Do your best to use your intelligence to make your point instead of taking action with- out proper authority or approval. Don’t make life overly difficult. Focus on making personal improvements. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t let the changes that others make concern you. Go about your business, and protect your possessions and assets. There are opportunities to make substantial gains if you apply practical applications to unusual situations. Romance will enhance your life. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Go over what you’ve done in the past and the ideas you still want to pursue, and map out your plans to follow through. Your ideas are good, and with a couple of alterations, you will receive great satisfaction and encouragement. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Taking care of other people’s business will put you in a strong position. Your generosity and concern will be ques- tioned by some and admired by others. Don’t waffle when you should show your leadership ability. Romance is favored.
