Tuesday, May 6, 2014 horoscopes by Eugenia Last

A RIES (March 21-April 19): Your competitive nature will help you suc- ceed at whatever you decide to take on. You will thrive on being busy and accomplishing as much as possible. Romance will improve your love life and bring you greater happiness. Network and socialize. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Compromise, and go with the flow when dealing with partners or family matters. Don’t draw attention to the things you are doing until you have gone over all the fine details and are confident with what you have to present. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Concentrate on what you can do to improve your personal life. Favors will be granted, and changes to the way you live can be made. Love is apparent, and making a commitment or doing something romantic will improve an important relationship. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be reluctant to believe everything you hear or to follow what someone else decides to do. Protect your reputation, your assets, and important relationships. Put more emphasis on your skills and doing the best job possible. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Stand up, and do your thing. Don’t be afraid to take action or to step into the spotlight. What you do will make a dif- ference, but what you say may cause you grief. Remember, actions will speak louder than words. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Stick to what has worked for you in the past. Don’t hesitate to take a conservative route, and don’t let what others do sidetrack you. Trust in your judgment and your abilities, and you will reach your destination. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Do your best to keep the peace, but don’t let anyone push you around or make poor choices for you. Change may be necessary if you aren’t being treated with respect. Size up your situation, and do what needs to be done. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Find a quiet space that will inspire a creative idea you want to develop. Don’t let someone’s criticism deter you from doing what will make you happy. You will learn a lot about someone if you listen and observe. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may thrive on excitement, but to avoid trouble, you are best to be realistic. Don’t take risks when you should concentrate on protecting what you have. Romance can provide the adventure you need. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Getting all worked up over something you cannot change isn’t worth it. Give your attention to individuals who have always offered you friendship, loyalty, and respect. Problems can be expected while traveling or if you get into a debate. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can accomplish a lot if you redirect your energy into new ways to earn a living. Your original, experimental personality will help you come up with a sideline to help bolster your income. Be sure to set aside some time for romance. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You can secure your position and expand your interests if you take part in community events. Taking on a respon- sibility may seem daunting at first, but in the end, you will gain experi- ence as well as be rewarded for your effort.

White Sox slip by Cubs, 3-1

CHICAGO — Marcus Semien hit a tiebreaking RBI double in a 2-run 12th, Jose Quintana pitched 1-hit ball over seven innings, and the Chi- cago White Sox beat the Cubs, 3-1, at Wrigley Field on Monday night. Quintana and five relievers combined on a 4-hitter, and the White Sox came away with the win after dropping four straight and six of seven to their crosstown rivals. The winning rally started when Alexei Ramirez singled off Justin Grimm with two out and stole second. Tyler Flowers walked, and Semien lined a 1-1 pitch over third baseman Mike Olt’s head to make it 2-1. Grimm (1-1) plunked pinch-hitter Paul Konerko on the left arm to load the bases and walked Alejandro De Aza to make it a 2-run game.
