The Last Word in Astrology Bill Amend Bill by Eugenia Last Foxtrot Happy Birthday: Watch out for people trying to talk you out of your money. You can make some good changes in your life that will lead to better relationships with others. Close the door on anyone who has caused problems in the past. Move forward with a clean slate. Your numbers are 8, 12, 19, 22, 26, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Listen, give compliments and keep a smile on your face and a twinkle in your eye today. Everyone will gravitate toward you. A gift or change in your fi nancial situation is ap- parent. 3 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Ride out the storm. Arguing will be a waste of time. Travel should be considered. You will get a different per- spective on things you are experiencing if you can distance yourself from them. 3 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t let your curiosity lead you into something you should probably pass on. Everything appears to be in place so why make changes now. Use your Gemini charm and you’ll be able to talk your way in and out of just about anything. 4 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): When one door closes, another one opens up and this will be the case today. You have to consider other

Aaron MacGruder Aaron options and, once you do, you will realize how well you can do. Don’t

Boondocks let someone from your past cause you uncertainty. 2 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your strength of character and your ability to please a crowd will reinforce that you are on the right track today. Someone you are close to will be jealous of your success. Try not to gloat. 5 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your mind will be on how you can make your life more exciting or how you can get things moving in the ro- mance department. Consider doing something you’ve never done be- fore. You need to shake things up a bit. 3 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There is a good chance you can make some money today but don’t get greedy. You may be able to take a new approach to something you have done in the past and turn it into a viable commodity. 3 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If someone is begging for change, let eld it happen. You will do yourself a disservice if you try to stop someone from following his or her dream. You may feel a little left out to begin with but, in the end, an even greater opportunity will come your way. Jim Davis 3 stars

Garfi SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Good things are coming your way. A chance to make changes at home will surface. Money, invest- ments or a big surprise are apparent. The secret to your success will be enjoying what you do. 5 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take time out for yourself. Get in- volved in something you enjoy or spend time with someone you love. You need to pay more attention to your needs. Someone older will have wisdom to share. 2 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will have an emotional dilemma on your hands if you spend family money without discussing your plans with loved ones fi rst. An argument will take a long time to re- solve but, in the end, you will get your way. 4 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): This is a fabulous day for work and pulling together a group of people you know can accomplish what you are trying to do. You will have greater vision and a strong sense of what will work. This is the time to do everything you can until you get the results you want. 3 stars Joey Ungerer Joey
