Horoscope
Happy Birthday: With some of the setbacks
you face, you will have to address issues you
have let hang on for too long. Change is good
but sometimes what you have to go through to
get to the other side is difficult. Persevere in
adversity and show how strong and resilient
you can be. A partnership will be a very
important factor in your future. Your numbers
are 10,16, 24, 26, 39,41
• ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don't get
angry, get busy. You have so much to gain by
being proactive and productive and so much
to lose if you let your temper get the better of
you. Someone from your past will be brought
to mind. 5 stars
• TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Look out
for your own interests. Someone may try to
convince you to spend or invest your money.
Avoid joint ventures. Love is in the stars but
don't let it consume you. 3 stars
• GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Go to the
source if you are experiencing a problem with
someone. Put the push on at work. You can
expect to get a lot of attention today but, if you
flirt too much or lead someone on, it will be
difficult to backtrack. 3 stars
• CANCER (June 21-July 22): You don’t
want to make a move right now, especially if it
has to do with your job. Hold on to what you've
got and protect your interests. Your love life is
picking up so spend extra time doing things
with someone you care for. 3 stars
• LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can turn
any wrong into a right or put yourself in a
position that will bring you recognition. You will
be the life of the party and the go-to person
when advice is required. Don’t let all this go to
your head. 5 stars
• VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Visit
someone you respect but don't mess with
personal issues today. You are far better off
biding your time and seeing how someone
you trust assesses your situation. The advice
given will help you make the right choice in
the end. 4 stars
• LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A mini
vacation or choosing a special item for yourself
or someone you love, should take up part of
your day. An event that will bring you in touch
with people who are successful will lead to
some interesting new connections. 3 stars
• SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Love,
passion and making commitments should
come into play today. You will be able to
make a move, rearrange your furniture or
decorate for the festive season. Go through
your important papers. 3 stars
® SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
There will be plenty of uncertainty around
you today. Someone will probably try to force
issues that have been pending. Don't overreact
or you will lose. 3 stars
• CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don't
let someone talk you into giving up something
you want. Fight for your rights and stick up for
your beliefs. A conservative money deal will
serve you well but don’t get tangled up in an
impulsive get-rich-quick scheme. 3 stars
. • AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Talk
to people who may be interested in helping
you along with one of your ideas. The time
to connect with someone who has similar
interests is now. A job prospect looks good.
Don't let someone's uncertainty confuse you.
4 stars
• PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Stick
close to home and don't be fooled by someone
trying to push you to purchase something you
don’t need. Consider what you can do to make
your place more comfortable and serviceable.
Do the work yourself. 2'stars
Birthday Baby: You are a Good Samaritan
and a wonderful companion. You are adaptable,
nrinimi inH a sincere and dedicated worker.
. curerree and fun-loving.
