Friday, Dec. 31, 2004
Rather than getting off-track
right away in the year ahead by
launching a new venture in
hopes of a quick kill, first finish
fhose projects that you have
already begun. You are nearer
to a payoff than you may real
-IZ6.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) You have the ability to
recognize opportunities today,
yet because of carelessness you
may let them slip through your
fingers. Be on your toes, grab
the brass ring and hold on
tight.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) There is nothing wrong
with your judgment concerning
important matters today, but,
unfortunately, you may allow
your temper to override your
reason and let unwise thinking
prevail.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
Be extremely tactful with
persons whose support you
need to implement your plans.
Emotions must not be permit
ted to cause you to behave in
ways that would jeopardize
their aid.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Associates might lack your
enthusiasm and industrious
ness today pertaining to a proj
ect that is of interest to you, but
that shouldn’t stop you from
moving forward on it without
their aid.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Guard against a tendency to
be too possessive of a loved one
today out of jealousy or intoler
ance. If you smother, he or she
will rebel and the one being left
out will end up being you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Do not impulsively make
plans or agree to something
today without consulting with
others who may be affected. It
you do, rectify things the
moment you realize your mis-
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Protect your self-interests
today, but be exceptionally
carefixl that you don’t do so in
ways that could offend others.
Neither friends nor family will
easily forgive an act of selfish
ness.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be
prudent and use common sense
in all money matters today.
When out on the town, don’t
try to act like the big guy or gal
and recklessly throw money
around in order to impress oth
ers.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
If your only motive for doing
things for others today is in
hopes of gaining more in return
for yourself, you could end up
being severely disappointed.
People will see right through
your ploy.
LOBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
It is fine to be optimistic today,
but make sure it is based on
reality and practicality or you
could be in for a major letdown.
Keep your expectations within
reasonable bounds.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
After a fine week of excellent
financial conditions working
for you, today you could reverse
what you have accumulated all
in one fell swoop. Don’t allow
extravagance to give it all back.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) Your ideas for
achieving your goals and objec
tives are likely to be quite
sound today, yet for some inex
plicable reason there’s a chance
you could execute them in a
slipshod fashion.
