THE HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL
Astro Graph
By Bernice Bede Osol
Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2005
Well laid-out preparations
you’ve made in the past will
yield rewards in the year ahead,
so long as you don’t make any
unnecessary changes out of
trepidation. You’ll be successful
with the tried and true.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) Acknowledge your col
laborators and what part they
play in a joint effort, or else
hard feelings will ensue and all
collective effort will crumble.
Without each other, your hopes
are doomed.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
You must do today that
which is deemed to be the best
for the largest number, even if
less-talented associates would
share in the success of an
endeavor. Self-serving goals will
collapse.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
ln order to reach your goals
today, you’re going to have to
alter your tactics. If you refuse
to change your way of thinking,
the impediments will make cer
tain you fail.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Jumping to conclusions
today could cause you to label
something insignificant that in
reality is of considerable magni
tude. This is one of those days
when you need to cover all the
angles.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Unfortunately, that chance
you’ve been hoping for to turn
around a negative financial sit
uation may not be in the offing
today if you continue to think
and react with more moxie
than brains.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
An idea your spouse or part
ner has may be superior to
yours, but you’ll never it know
if you fail to listen to his or her
suggestions or respect this per
son’s thoughts. Don’t be a
know-it-all today.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Lay out a game plan and go
over it with a fine-tooth comb
before attempting an impor
tant job today. No matter how
hard you work, unless your
blueprint is foolproof, things
won’t work out.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Should a peer attempt to
upstage you or demean you in
front of others, be careful how
you deal with it. If you respond
in kind, you’ll risk coming out
second best.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -
You’ll fail to achieve your goal
today for two reasons: One,
serving a selfish interest gains
little support, and two, think
ing you’re smarter keeps every
one at bay.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
A negative attitude today
could cause you to see yourself
as the underdog in a matter
where you really have the
upper hand. Don’t deceive
yourself by dwelling only on the
gloomy side.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) This is not apt to be
one of your better days for
dwelling in the realm of finan
cial matters. Unrealistic think
ing could cause you to be either
too tightfisted or too extrava
gant.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) Unwarranted self-doubts
may try to cloud your usual
positive respect for your talents
and abilities and cause you to
fail today. Focus on the brass
ring, not the pebble in your
shoe.
