Uncertainty can hold need to know to put your mind at ease. Protect what you have. Make choices that won't jeopardize your position or your future. Your numbers are 1, 6, 15, 26, 33, 39, 45. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Quiet Contract Bridge pursuits will bring the highest return. A by Steve Becker secret is best not discussed with any- one until you are sure you know how to Hagar the Horrible handle the outcome. Look for opportu- nities to do something that doubles your confidence. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Check over financial, legal or medical papers and update anything that you may have overlooked or thought someone else was responsible for. A day trip or volun- teering for a worthy cause will result in a connection to someone you find enlightening. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take a close look at your money situation and how much you owe. Cut your personal overhead and make a point to collect Dilbert money that's owed to you. An insightful suggestion will pay off. Romance is highlighted. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your insight will be spot-on when dealing with emotional situations. Read between the lines and you will pick up on the possibilities that are within reach. Use your intelligence and intuition when faced with difficult situations. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don't make a decision that will disrupt your source of income. Refuse to let the changes going on around you lead to regret. Concentrate on home, family and the Garfield ones you love, not what is happening at work or with your peers. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Things are looking up and pending situations can be dealt with properly. You'll recog- nize what is best for you and will be able to manipulate whatever situation you face. A personal change will be lib- erating. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As long as you live within your means, you will be OK. Too much of anything will drag you down. Look for ways to improve your appearance, attitude and your relation- ships with the people who mean the Beetle Bailey most to you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Use your knowledge and experience to get what you want. Working from home will help you get ahead and accomplish domestic goals as well. Don't let secre- cy lead to an outburst. Trust your instincts and react appropriately. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You can push for change if you do so with diplomacy. Opportunities will unfold through someone who understands your position and what you have to offer. A romantic relationship will flourish if you offer truth and commitment. Dennis the Menace By Ned Classics CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): By Conrad Day Don't get into a dispute if someone doesn't want to do what you are doing. Head out in your own direction or make arrangements to spend time with some- one who shares your interests. Multiple options are available, so do your own thing. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don't let anger take over when passion should be your goal. Get involved in the causes you believe in with the intention of making a difference. A personal change will turn out better than antici- pated. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Size up what is going on around you and react. Getting to the bottom of something that is irking you will help you move forward. A romantic relationship will take on a new direction if you discuss your con- cerns and dreams. Birthday Baby: You have drive, imagination and enthusiasm. You are inventive and appealing. www.clevelandbanner.com Cleveland Daily Banner—Tuesday, December 27, 2016— 9
