As long as you don't go over budget, you will be satisfied with the results and the praise you receive for a job well done. Romance is encouraged. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take on whatever you want when it comes to projects outside your home, but when it comes to domestic matters, do your best to take care of your responsibili- ties so that you can enjoy activities and Beetle Bailey events. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don't judge others if you don't want to be judged. Focus on what you can do to make your neighborhood, community or home environment peaceful and efficient. Self-improvement projects should begin with research. Short trips will provide valuable information. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Too much of anything will lead to dis- aster. Do your best to take care of unfinished business. Dealing with peo- ple who are waiting for you to make a decision will ease your stress and Dennis the Menace By Ned Classics allow you to follow your heart. By Conrad Day CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Put money matters in perspective. If someone gets upset because you don't want to cough up cash for luxury items you don't need, reconsider whether this person loves you for who you are or for what you can provide. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Someone you respect will give you a reason to rethink your future plans. Considering what you have done in the past, where you are now and where you want to be will help you realize your potential and lead to victory. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You'll have some fabulous ideas, but before you put them into play, make sure they are affordable. Pay as you go should be your course of action in order to avoid a heavy debt that could lead to restrictions. Birthday Baby: You are sensitive, caring and helpful. You are a crusader and a leader. www.clevelandbanner.com Cleveland Daily Banner—Monday, December 14, 2015— 7
