more industrious if you want to get ahead. Your
numbers are 3,11,17,25, 33,44

you to do. Follow your own path. 2 stars
• TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Share
your ideas and you will get great response and
support. A love interest can develop through

involved, you can make the relationship you
are in that much better. 5 stars
• GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Money may

complain. Someone may throw' a wrench in
your plans. 5 stars

needy. 2 stars

rolling. 4 stars
