HARRISON FORD BORN JULY 13. 1942

Mercury is awash in activity which began last week and continues this week. Here's the lowdown - the planet went retrograde (that means it appears to us earth folk to be going backwards) switched signs, went forward and switched signs again. Mercury rules thoughts and communications. Are our minds in a flux? Has it been hard to make decisions? When in doubt, blame it on Mercury. Read ahead to see how this winged messenger of the gods affects each sign. CANCER:(June 22 - July 22) Mercury, with structions and directions are re-confirmed its capricious travels, has screwed up your and in writing. Mercury will screw up even better sense and intuition.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 - February 18) Romantic opportunities may have hita snag with Mercury's retrograde infl.uence. Mer- cury could derail even the best of roman- tic flirtations with a big wedge of food be- tween your front teeth. Let the fun and festivities go on without your direct in- tervention for a little while longer. Pretty soon you'll beabletodo more thanjustgo along for the ride.

PISCES:(February 19 - March 20) Mercury's antics have created havoc with family mem- bers. Did you really mean what you said? Did you really think they meant what they said? Acceptance is important, to be sure, but you may need to wear kid gloves for a little while longer to make your point slowly, clearly and, shall we say, gently clear. Be proud and dignified without the sledgehammer. They'll get the message.

ARIES: (March 21 - April 20) Aries are not reticent when it comes to expressi ng their opinions. However, with Mercury tearing up the sky, your strong views may be more than a little off target. You may be closer to the mark this week, as Mercury surges for- ward into Cancer, but remember that you don't have to shout to make your point. A simple, stern statement will do nicely, thank you.

TAURUS: (April 21 - May 21) You thought your money was wisely invested. You could have sworn you'd heard that the item you were interested in was a bona fide antique. Sowhy does it say "K-Mart" on it? Monetary instructions need to be crystal clear, per- haps even written down. Mercury hasbeen screwing up anything that has.to do with finances and monetary security, and Mer- cury does not offer money-back guarantees.

GEMINI: (May 22 - June 21) Wait until later this week before you embark on any inter- views or first-time meetings. Mercury's tran- sits have wreaked havoc on your interper- sonal skills. All is not lost, however. What might have been miscommunicated or mis- construed ca n be corrected with assertive, well-directed action. They do say that ac- tions speak louder than words. ...,
