Tuesday, April 24 horoscopes — by Eugenia Last Think you’re pretty funny? Prove it. The Daily Iowan is looking for Ledge ARIES March 21-April 19 Get back to basics and what you do best. Don’t take anyone’s word for it; do your own writers. You can submit a Ledge at [email protected]. research. Love and romance are on the rise, and turning a friendship into something more serious can benefit If we think it’s good, we’ll run it — and you in many ways. maybe contact you for more. TAURUS April 20-May 20 Size up your situation, and look for ways to pick up additional skills, knowledge, and information that will help turn an idea into a lucrative venture. Taking action and discussing plans with some- one to whom you are emotionally tied will pay off.

GEMINI May 21-June 20 You’ll charm someone important with your quick wit and unusual approach to solving prob- lems. Emotions will surface, giving others a chance to see how passionate and sincere you can be. Channel your energy into personal improvements.

CANCER June 21-July 22 Now is not the time to share your plans. Someone is likely to intervene and ruin a sur- prise you have for someone special. Too much talk and not enough action will lead to trouble and an unexpect- ed change of plans.

LEO July 23-Aug. 22 You’ll attract attention with your charm and passionate response. Make a change if you think it will help you get what you want. You will learn easily, and you should spend time with people who have some- thing interesting to offer.

VIRGO Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Not everyone will be eager to do things your way, so do your own thing, and allow others the same privilege. Using force will end up working against you. A challenge will require your undivided atten- tion. Networking will be necessary.

LIBRA Sept. 23-Oct. 22 You will learn a lot from the people you are close to. Observe what others do and say, and you will have a better handle on what you can do to get ahead. Expect a partnership to go through changes. Love is highlighted.

SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21 You’ll be torn between what you should do and what you want to do. Putting time and effort into your home and family will strengthen important personal relationships. Offering your services at a premium will help you advance.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21 Work on your partnerships. Make sure that everyone you are dealing with is happy or at least understands your situation. Love is in the stars, and a change in your personal lifestyle and living arrangements looks positive.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19 Opportunities and success are earned, and if you put greater effort into getting what you want right now, you will be successful. Open your doors to people who have something to contribute, and mastermind what you want to achieve.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18 Put more emphasis on home, family, and getting your place in order. Money can be made, contracts signed, and deals put into place. Love is highlighted, and romancing someone you want to be with forever should be your goal.

PISCES Feb. 19-March 20 Don’t trust anyone with your personal secrets. Bide your time, and keep a close watch over any personal situation you face. Keep your distance from anyone making impossible promises. Uncertainty should be your warning to retreat.

It was the third match in the series.
