Crosswords Tonight: Be willing to spend more time with a special person in your life. DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your creativity defines your plans and the earlier part of the day. Do not hesi- tate to ask for more of what you want and desire. If another party says no, let it go. Ultimately, the situation will unfold as you might wish. Tonight: Fun and games. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could be feeling footloose and fancy free by midday. Your ability to push beyond your normal levels marks your actions. A potential sweetie or an admirer might show up out of the blue. You might sense a tie but could be unsure of its direc- B.C. Mastroianni and Hart tion. Tonight: Be as naughty as you can. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Defer to a family member about a matter that impacts your domestic life. You might not have thought it through as com- pletely as those around you. Let them make the call. Tonight: Happily, close to home. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You will speak your mind, and others will respond accordingly. You might feel confused about what could happen if you relax and become more authentic. At this moment, you might not be as centered as you could be. Let go of concerns. To- night: Speak your mind. ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You might not have tallied up the costs of proceeding as you would like. Nev- ertheless, you head in that direction. Do not wonder so much about what-ifs. Instead, go off and be present in the moment. Do your best to keep to your budget. Tonight: TGIF. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You could be full of energy, especially when in the company of a loved one. You have what it takes to hit bingo. You cannot stop yourself once you get going. Tonight: Chat over munchies and bubbly. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH How you see an important per- ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett son in your life could change a situation substantially. Share more of what is hap- pening while asking for feedback. You note a change in how you feel when you slow down and reflect. Tonight: Only where the action is. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Emphasize what is happening when in a meeting and/or trying to determine more of what you desire. You discover you have a group of supporters who are there for you. Do not sell yourself short. Tonight: Off Cryptoquip to a new adventure. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Get closer to a special friend or ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe loved one. Be willing to spend quality time together and talk openly about what might be bothering you. A key person eyes your leadership at work. Clearly, you are “getting into” others. Tonight: A must show.
