JANUARY 14,2003
189
ARIES (March 21 to
April 19) You might be
hurt by a colleague’s
harsh criticism. But don’t
let it shake your confi
dence in what you’re try
ing to do. A more positive
aspect starts to appear by
week’s end.
TAURUS (April 20 to
May 20) You’re torn
between your sensible self
and the part of you that
enjoys acquiring lovely
things. Best advice: Wait
for an end-of-month sale
and then buy something
wonderful.
GEMINI (May 21 to
June 20) Your artistic side
has practical applications
this week, such as redeco
rating your home or
redesigning your personal
stationery. Whatever you
do, someone special will
like it.
CANCER (June 21 to
July 22) You could be
drawn into a problem
‘twixt friends or family
members. Best bet: Ask
the questions that go to
the heart of the matter,
then get them all together
for a group hug.
LEO (July 23 to August
22) As much as you love
being the center of atten
tion, your big Lion’s heart
impels you to share the
spotlight with a colleague
who helped you with that
well-praised project.
VIRGO (August 23 to
September 22) Your
eagerness to act on a chal
lenge is wisely tempered
early in the week by a lack
of necessary information.
Things begin to clear up
during the weekend.
LIBRA (September 23
to October 22) A relation
ship you’d hoped would
keep going seems to be
going nowhere. Close it
out and move on to a
brighter romantic aspect
just beginning to manifest
itself.
SCORPIO (October 23
to November 21) Things
don’t go completely as
planned this week. But
enjoy the surprises, even
if you have to adjust your
schedule. Some of them
could be quite delightful.
SAGITTARIUS
(November 22 to
December 21) Making
choices is usually easy for
straight-shooting
Archers. But a new devel
opment could deflect your
aim. Try to put off deci
sions until you know
more.
CAPRICORN
(December 22 to January
19) While part of you
might prefer taking a
more familiar path, let
your more daring and
admit it supercurious
self see what the unex
plored has to offer.
AQUARIUS (January
20 to February 18) Those
nasty types have slithered
back under the rocks and
present no more prob
lems. Now’s the time to
move ahead on that prom
ising new relationship.
PISCES (February 19
to March 20) A new offer
could clear up that linger
ing money problem. Also,
a more confident attitude
on your part might well
help get that personal sit
uation back on track.
BORN THIS WEEK:
You have a way of turning
chaos into order. You’re
also generous with your
help for those who seek it.
