Tuesday, September 23, 2014 horoscopes by Eugenia Last ARIES (March 21-April 19): Deal with minor health issues or pet concerns. Getting along with your peers will be easy if you listen to complaints and offer creative suggestions. Showing stability and re- sponsibility will counter a confrontation with someone in an influential position. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Beefing up what you know about some- thing relating to your work or a job you want to apply for will lead to new opportunities. Romance and sharing your thoughts and plans with someone special will improve your personal life. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You will meet with opposition if you make personal changes. Do your research so you are able to counter any neg- ativity that comes your way. Plant the seed, and let everyone have time to adjust to the possibilities you are considering. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You mean well by offering a helping hand, but don’t expect those you help to be pleased or to reward your assistance. A mini trip will result in an unusual situation that must be monitored closely. Don’t make an impulsive move. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Incorporate something into your day that will lead to a positive professional change. Getting your résumé updated or discussing an idea with a superior at work will have a favorable effect on your future and promote a new ally at work. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Slow down, and take a closer look at what everyone around you is doing. Avoid conflicts by focusing on what you can do to improve physically, emotionally, and personally. An unexpect- ed financial gain is apparent. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Avoid making changes at home. You will end up overspending or taking on something you cannot finish. Stick to what’s important to you personally. Relationships must be handled with care. An impulsive move or decision will pay off. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Raise your profile by offering your services. Your skills will be appreciated and might help you land a position that allows you to forge ahead and achieve your goals. Take control, and ask for favors. By including others in your plans, you will win respect. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t underestimate the competition. An emotional tactic can cause a derailment in your professional life if you aren’t swift to counteract any negativity thrown your way. Look for any opportunity to speak your mind and present your ideas. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Improve your earning potential by using your skills and experience in an unusual manner. Don’t be afraid to try something new. It may cause controversy, but it will at least make others take notice. Love is on the rise. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take care of health, wealth, and legal issues before they have a chance to escalate into something unman- ageable. A deal you come across is worth considering, but make sure you negotiate to include anything you feel will sweeten matters. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your interests are changing, but that doesn’t mean you should take a risk or do something that can jeopar- dize your current status. Disillusionment is apparent and will lead to some unexpected problems at work or at home. Protect your assets. A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving. — Lao Tzu THE DAILY IOWAN DAILYIOWAN.COM TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 SPORTS 7 Bears hang on, beat sloppy Jets By DENNIS WASZAK JR.
