SINGLE COPY The Times is available at retail stores, newspaper racks and at The Times for $1.00 Wed.-Sat. and $2.00 on Sun. ARIES (March 21 -April 19). There are many instances in your social life when the cur rency being exchanged is not the currency being measured. It’s something to be aware of. Keeping the balance depends on this. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Believe it or not, the hassle is part of what makes an experi ence great. So don’t go out of your way to create the most convenient experience. Incon venience makes you think on your feet. GEMINI (May 21-June21). Get ready for the life you want. It will be here soon enough, and it probably won’t stop to let you board either. You’ll have to run alongside and leap into it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You can plan what you’re going to say and do, but when the mo ment comes, another part of you leaps forward with surpris ing results. It’s as though you resist being a puppet, even when the puppeteer is also you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In re gard to your current creation, it will be as though life meets you to collaborate at every turn. Ease gives you something. Conflict gives you something more. It’s really taking an inter esting shape. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Whatever mood you find your self in, you’re likely to get more of the same. So the ability to take hold of the mood and mold it into something favor able will be key to your well being. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). You want the prize, not because it’s so great in and of itself but because it symbolizes the journey you took and what you were willing to trade to get to the end. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Should a flaw be hidden, im proved or highlighted? Only you can decide which flaws are mistakes and which are the imperfections from which real art is born. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Settling into who you are takes a kind of relaxed strength akin to settling into the motion of a galloping horse. With time and practice, you will learn to antici pate your natural rhythms. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ve a broad view, a kind heart and moral compass that’s not swayed by what everyone else is doing. For these rea sons, you’re an indispensable asset to the group. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There are two ways to improve your history. One way is to re port it in a good light, framing it to highlight the best aspects. The other way is to live it right the first time so you don’t have to. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you resist the thing you want, for a while it will command your thoughts, calling you back in the most distracting way. But if you ignore that long enough, the temptation will pass and you’ll be better for not having given into it.
