Thursday, August 6, 2015 horoscopes by Eugenia Last ARIES (March 21-April 19): Work on securing your future. Saving may not be your best skill, but now is a great time to get your personal papers together and invest in your future. Once you have your finances in order, everything else will fall into place. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t hide the way you feel. Get things out in the open, and move on. Spinning your wheels or being stubborn will not solve anything. Make an effort to change what isn’t working for you, but avoid indulgence. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Fix up your home, or use your place to entertain or network. It’s important to make positive changes that will bring you greater earning opportunities using the skills you enjoy the most. If you love what you do, you will be successful. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll get the help you need from a very unusual source. Don’t rule out any proposal that comes your way — the more unusual, the better. Let your intuition be your guide to a better life and future. Helping others will change your life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Before you jump into action, make sure everyone your plans will affect is on board. Using diplomacy will help you get what you need to turn your dreams into a reality. Romance is highlighted. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Check your financial, legal, or contractual papers for possible updates. You can bring about a change to your standard of living if you are careful with your expenditures. Cut costs, and look for alternative ways to bring in extra cash. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t back away from taking care of other people’s affairs. You will gain knowledge that will help you with your own personal matters and also give you insight into how others are doing. You’ll be treated with greater respect. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You will face opposition and overreaction from others. Step back, and refuse to get dragged into situations that can only lead to loss or setbacks. Focus on learning and making personal changes that set you apart from those around you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Focus on what needs to be done. Too much is on the line for you to ignore a chance to learn and advance. Participate in events that will put you in the spotlight and show off your strengths. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Put some time aside to enjoy your home and family. Pampering is necessary if you want to operate at your best. All work and no play will lead to frustration and loneliness. Don’t let impulse lead to senseless disputes. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let your emotions take over, causing disruptions with friends, relatives, or neighbors. Step away from any situation that appears to be explosive, and channel your energy into offering fun ideas, affection, and fond memories. Love conquers all. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): People you have worked with in the past or who owe you a favor will rally around you. A partnership looks promising, and it will lead to a prosperous venture. Don’t let uncertainty cause you to miss out.

Death’s fugitive

By ISABELLE ROBLES [email protected]

Everyman will come to the stage. Well, the screen. Well, both. On Saturday, the Englert Theater, 221 E. Washington St., will feature a screening of the London-based National Theatre’s production of Everyman. The play stars 12 Years a Slave Academy-Award nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor in the title role; it deals with his spiritual journey as he is called by Death and his search for someone to come to his defense before time runs out.
