• The thing I didn’t realize, Monday, Feb. 6, 2012 until it was all over, was horoscopes — by Eugenia Last that I’d been saying all of this out loud the entire ARIES March 21-April 19 Be open to new ideas. Let your creative juices flow. Socialize and network, and most of all, time. look for love, friendship, or a business partner who has as much to bring to the table as you do. It’s time to embrace new people and experiences. — Brian Tanner loves a leggy dame. TAURUS April 20-May 20 Don’t let what others do or say cause volatility in your life. Remain calm, and keep your emotions tucked away where no one will be able to take advantage of your vulnerabilities. Keep busy. It’s what you accomplish that will count.

GEMINI May 21-June 20 Don’t give in to emotional blackmail. Realize what you are capable of doing, and head for the finish line. Strive to stand out and make a difference. Speak on behalf of a cause, and you will discover new talents.

CANCER June 21-July 22 A change is necessary. Make it happen instead of waiting to be forced to move on. Choice is a wonderful thing, but if you don’t utilize the right to choose, you will continue to give in and give up. Take control and win.

LEO July 23-Aug. 22 Your emotions will spark an impulsive streak that, if controlled properly, can catapult you into the winner’s circle. Calculate your every move, but do so with finesse and punctuality. Take the spotlight, and wear the recognition you receive with pride.

VIRGO Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Question your decisions before you follow through. You may not be thinking too clearly when it comes to the outcome. Look to someone you respect, and follow whatever pattern or course will result in your success.

LIBRA Sept. 23-Oct. 22 Wager the pros and cons, especially when it comes to long-term employment. Recognizing the potential of a company, service, or opportunity will be the key to choosing the best option that arises. Your ideas will be valued and put to use.

SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Physical action will be your best alternative. Focus on networking, creativity, and stay- ing out of trouble with people connected to you personally. Love is on the rise, but only if it’s a physical encounter. Self-improvement will pay off.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21 You’ll fight a losing battle at home if you don’t stick to the budget. Alternative liv- ing arrangements will give you a new perspective on the possibilities that exist. Let past experience help you make a good choice now.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19 You’ll be pulled in different directions. Size up your situation, and make a choice based on what’s tangible. Keeping your wits about you will save you when unexpected developments appear. Assess your situation, and make a strategic move.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18 You’ll handle any situation you face with clarity and common sense. Listen to your inner voice, and believe in your own ability to do what’s best. Greater stability will be yours if you make the right choice now. Be good to you.

PISCES Feb. 19-March 20 Kindness and generosity will win support and help you put past mistakes behind you. Size up your situation, and make your decisions based on facts, figures, and the truth, and you will bypass an emotional mistake caused by overreacting.

IOWA 7, ILLINOIS STATE 0 Women’s tennis sweeps, 7-0 By PATRICK MASON [email protected]

The Iowa women’s tennis team dominated Illinois State, 7-0, in the first meet of the spring season on Feb. 4 in the Hawkeye Tennis & Recreation Center. The Hawkeyes (1-0) appeared more composed and in better condition than the Redbirds (1-2), and it showed throughout the afternoon as Iowa kept up its intensity on its way to a commanding victory. “As a whole, we competed well, and we worked out some nerves early in singles and doubles,” head coach Katie Dougherty said. “Illi- nois State is a scrappy team and was fighting hard, and we did a good job of closing Iowa senior Sonja Molnar serves in a doubles match on Feb. 4 in the Hawkeye Tennis & Recreation Center. out first sets and taking control in the second.” The Hawkeyes defeated Illinois State, 7-0.

NO. 5 IOWA 39, WISCONSIN 3 IOWA 77, PENN STATE 64 Wrestlers whack Badgers White’s star shining brightly Aaron White has been solid since he was inserted into the starting lineup a week ago. By BEN SCHUFF [email protected]

Aaron White’s confidence is growing. His teammates can see it happening. The freshman’s continued development has been a consistent part of Iowa’s up-and- down season. From averaging slightly more than 16 minutes a game as a reserve in Iowa’s first five contests to playing a career- high 32 minutes as a starter on Feb. 4, White is showing why he had seven schools offer him scholarships coming out of Strongsville (Ohio) High School. That development was on full display in Iowa’s 77-64 win over Penn State on Feb. 4, when he played arguably his most complete game as a Hawkeye. White scored 17 White points and recorded 9 forward rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, Iowa senior Montell Marion rides Wisconsin’s Thomas Glenn during the Hawkeyes’ 39-3 win over the Badgers in Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Sunday.
