Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2004
Don’t be hesitant to take on
greater responsibilities or addi
tional duties in the year ahead
when the necessity arises; it
could mean advancement in
your chosen field of endeavor,
and a raise in pay and prestige
as well.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
You could be placed in the
position today of managing a
complex situation where you
have to bring two dissenting
factions together for a common
purpose. You’ll make it look
easy.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Conditions pertaining to
your material well-being look
exceptionally promising again
today. Gains can come through
hard work and lucky breaks,
but not through false notions.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Concentrate your efforts and
talents today on what you
might consider your biggest
desire or goal, whether it is in
your business or personal life.
This is where fortune can smile
on you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Your personal, secret affairs
will be taking an upward swing
today, and situations that
might have looked like losers
could now be put on the right
path to success. Keep a positive
attitude.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
The greatest thing to con
centrate on today is not so
much where you are, but which
direction you are heading. Take
a step toward making your
dreams a reality and luck will
lend a hand.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) lf
you have any trump cards to
play where your work or career
is concerned, today may be the
day to lay them out on the
table. Chances are you’re the
one who is holding the winning
hand.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Get in touch today with some
one who you consider an impor
tant contact if you’re trying to
promote something important.
This person may have informa
tion that would further your
cause.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Joint ventures are usually
rather lucky f° r you, and today
one in particular could turn out
to be exceptionally successful
especially if you are teamed
up with someone who thinks in
big terms.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
Matters of a legal nature
should work out particularly
well and even lucky for you
today. If you have any agree
ment or document to sign, get
your pen out and affix your sig
nature to it now.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) Give any important
project that you’re presently
working on your complete
attention today. What tran
spires could offer much greater
rewards that would exceed your
present expectations.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) Although you may
believe in hard work but not in
luck, today you could experi
ence a number of fortunate
breaks in areas that involve
your social contacts or valued
relationships.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) Conditions are undergo
ing a very favorable change at
this time which could affect
not only you, but your entire
family as well. Something you
never thought would occur
could happen today.
