ARIES (March 21-April 19): Money appears to be heading your way on the 19 and 20. If a contract is pending, check it over and make final adjustments. Pay back money you borrowed. Research other possibilities on the 21 and 22 ProAlliance Realty if you aren’t happy with the way things have been going.An older associate will give you a good suggestion that will eliminate some of the stress you’ve been experiencing. It’s time to make your move and to get things done on the 23 - 25. You can turn something you’ve been working on into a money-maker if you connect with individuals who can help you.Get serious and you’ll succeed. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll be up and down emotionally on the 19 and 20, making it vital for you to stick to basics, keep things simple and refrain from stretching the truth. Question anything you feel might be dubious. You may be confused by the signals you’re receiving from the people you must deal with on the 21 and 22. Be careful not to fall into someone’s trap to make you do more than you should. A change of heart may leave you feeling down. You may feel as if you’re being pushed and pulled between what you want to do and what you should do on the 23 - 25. If you’re calculating enough, you can come out on top. Delegate some lesser tasks to others. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you’re unhappy with your current position or direction on the 19 and 20, check into courses you can take that will help you go down a new path.A change will be good and is likely to promote love.Look around you on the 21 and 22 and you’ll soon discover you’re the one holding all the cards.You can get whatever you want if you do so with compliments. A 253 Dundas Street E., Trenton 613-394-4837 little niceness will buy you a whole lot of favours. Be prepared to move quick- ly on the 23 - 25. If you haven’t done your research you’ll be at a disadvantage 143 Main St., Brighton 613-475-6242 and will have to rely on someone who knows more or has experienced more. CANCER ( June 21-July 22): You’re in control so stop being so afraid to make a move on the 19 and 20.Travel, socializing and dealing with family,friends or Toll Free: 1-800-263-2177 even new acquaintances will go very well. Love, romance and having fun are all in the stars. Put a little more effort into your work or project you’re devel- oping on the 21 and 22 and you’ll get the approval you need to continue. A www.discoverroyallepage.ca social connection will be more helpful than you thought possible.Things aren’t nearly as bad as you think on the 23 - 25. Stop being so dramatic and get to the bottom of whatever is going on. If change is necessary,stop fighting it and The Contact Newspaper staff would like to acknowledge Royal Lepage ProAlliance Realty you’ll get so much more accomplished. LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22): You have to be careful what you say to whom and as the weekly sponsor of our newest feature, The Contact Comics. how you present yourself on the 19 and 20. Exaggeration will lead to promis- es that you can’t fulfill. Someone older and wiser will put you in your place quickly. It’s the outsiders that will show you the way to victory on the 21 and 22. Don’t be fooled by those trying to protect you from everything.They may love you but you need to experience all that life has to offer. Check out what you can do for someone from whom you want something in return on the 23 - 25. Barter and you’ll both come out as winners. An element of excitement will prevail and probably lead to an interesting partnership. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Getting together with friends, neighbours or family on the 19 and 20 will lead to valuable information.A partnership is like- ly to develop that can help you get something you’ve always wanted to do off the ground.You’ll be pushed and pulled in two different directions.Don’t make a decision on the 21 and 22 based on what everyone else wants you to do if it doesn’t feel right or isn’t going to be to your benefit. Don’t give in to emotion- al blackmail. Don’t fight the changes taking place in your personal life on the 23 - 25. A new interest is looming in the background but don’t be too quick to show off what or who has captured your interest. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Someone from your past should be brought back into your world on the 19 and 20.If you don’t make the effort,you may lose the connection forever. A little forgive-and-forget may be required. Stop procrasti- nating on the 21 and 22. If you don’t speak up and take a chance, you’ll end up in the same old position with no one to blame but yourself. Get on with it and go the extra mile. Get busy presenting and promoting what you want to do on the 23 - 25.Your plan is good but,if you keep it to yourself,it isn’t likely to devel- op into anything.This could turn into a financial dream if done properly. SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov.21): Speak up on the 19 and 20 — now is the time to clear the air and get things that have been bothering you out in the open. Change will be good in the end so stop fearing the inevitable and get on with it. The sky’s the limit on the 21 and 22 so stop waffling, start the ball rolling and don’t look back.If you waste time making arrangements and plans instead of taking action, you’ll lose out. Money can be made, changes to your home and personal life incorporated and new friendships or business partnerships formulated on the 23 - 25. You can’t let anyone or anything from your past slow you down, hold you back or confuse you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re likely to dig a deeper hole if you aren’t careful how you handle personal matters on the 19 and 20. Secrets will be considered a form of lying; so don’t even think about it.Evasiveness will lead to trouble and a change a relationship. You can make your mark and gain recognition on the 21 and 22 if you’re willing to take on a challenge and stay ahead of your competition. Approach someone you know has the experience to help you get ahead. Don’t allow yourself to be sidetracked by a love interest on the 23 - 25 or you’ll make a mistake you’ll have to live with for some time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Experience is the key and on the 19 and 20 you can gather plenty of that. Put yourself on the line. Your industrious nature will bring results. A chance to advance is in the stars. Not everyone will be on your side on the 21 and 22. Don’t share all your knowledge or what your intentions are just yet.Someone is likely to try to take over a project you’ve been nurturing. The more unusual an approach you take, the further you’ll get. Added stress may come from dealings with hospitals or financial institutions on the 23 - 25. Don’t over- or underestimate your potential. You’ll soon see who is on your side and who isn’t. AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Tread carefully on the 19 and 20. You’re like- ly to offend someone with comments you make or you may even end up in a tangled web of lies if you haven’t been completely honest with the people around you. Reconsider what’s really important to you. Take advantage of what’s being offered and be quick to turn down anything that appears to be underhanded on the 21 and 22. It’s your decisions that will make the differ- ence to the way things turn out.You have been through rough times in the past but things are beginning to clear on the 23 - 25. Educational pursuits or learn- ing a new trade will enable you to change your life. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A trip down memory lane or an actual jaunt back to old familiar places on the 19 and 20 will prompt you to get in touch with someone who has been on your mind. You have to finish what you start on the 23 - 25.It’s time to move forward but that will be impossible if you don’t take care of matters that haunt you. You’ll be all over the map on the 23 - 25 and this is likely to confuse the people around you. You should collect or pay old debts to relieve some of the stress in your life. Money is coming your way but only if you do what’s right.Greed will hold you back but being fair will put you in a good position.
