The Last Word in Astrology Bill Amend Bill by Eugenia Last Foxtrot Happy Birthday: Don’t sit there wasting all the wonderful things available to you -- put the melancholy attitude to rest. Motivation is all it will take to make your life better. A good heart and a smile on your face will go a long way. Your numbers are 8, 11, 15, 26, 34, 39 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can make things happen if you take control and organize everyone around you. Make some changes that will help you out fi nancially. Get serious about who you want in your life and who is just wasting your time. 4 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can go for interviews, talk to su- periors about advancement or talk your way into a completely new position at work. An opportunity is likely to come through an old as- sociate or someone you have met through a group you once belonged to. 3 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may be a little confused about what you should do next -- torn between taking on something new and perhaps learning a new skill. Both will be to your benefi t and you will realize that you are quite capable of doing both. 3 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): There is not enough information being

Aaron MacGruder Aaron handed down to enable you to make a decision. Give yourself time to

Boondocks think and for circumstances to unfold a little further before you pro- ceed. Focus on love instead and enjoy yourself for a change. 3 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Consider three areas of your life that are in need of change and do something about it. Your philosophic beliefs are expanding and this will bring you greater freedom. A fi nancial plan can be put into play. Don’t bend to personal pressure. 4 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Not everything will unfold the way you want. Someone you thought you could trust will mislead you. Get to the bottom of things by asking the most direct questions. If the person you are talking to becomes nervous, move on. 2 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You will be willing to try new things. Your ability to contribute to whatever you get involved in will lead to great- er respect and leadership. Taking on an unusual project will open up eld your mind to a host of new and unique individuals. 5 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Engage in things that include people you fi nd motivating, creative and easy to work with. Utilize your tal- Jim Davis ents and you will end up fi nding your way through any confusion you

Garfi have about your future. 3 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may feel like everyone is out to get you but that’s not the case. People just don’t want you to make a mistake you might regret later. Talk to a close friend or relative you trust. 3 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your associates will treat you dif- ferently if you can step outside your rigid way of doing business. Show your ability to try new things. Innovation is what will sell your ideas. 3 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A chance to move forward with someone you really care about is looking good. Don’t push but do put your offer out there. If you are kind, generous and patient, everything else will fall into place. 5 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may be fooling yourself but you aren’t fooling anyone else. Be honest with yourself if you want things to work in your favor. Money matters can be resolved if you are willing to move on and do something that really counts. 2 stars Joey Ungerer Joey
