THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 2005 ♦
Astro Graph
By Bernice Bede Osol
Thursday, Jan. 27, 2005
Larger than usual rewards
can be realized in the year
ahead through your own cre
ative endeavors. When you find
yourself inspired by a bright
idea, act upon it immediately
and watch what happens.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) To avoid great disap
pointment today, don’t pretend
serious matters will rectify
themselves without you taking
the appropriate actions. Strive
to be realistic about issues that
confront you.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
You will end up with huge
feelings of remorse if you allow
yourself to be hoodwinked
today into being overly gener
ous with a friend who doesn’t
truly deserve it. Be kind, not a
patsy.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
ln competitive situations
today, bank more heavily on
knowledge you’ve acquired
than trying something new you
think is needed. There will be
no free rides being offered by
Lady Luck.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Sadly, you may reject a per
son’s ideas today merely
because it comes from someone
at whom you’re presently
peeved. By doing so you’ll only
be working against your best
1 ntprpvfv
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Unless you are extremely
diligent and cautious in a com
mon interest you share with
another today, there’s a possi
bility that the larger slice of the
out-of-pocket expenses will fall
on vou.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
You may have difficulty get
ting along with others today
because of a tendency to not
trust their honesty or integrity
in a joint involvement.
Unexpected negative conse
quences could result.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) lt
is likely that you could be sad
dled today with a plethora of
unpleasant tasks to do because
of hanging out with dependent
individuals who can’t fend for
themselves.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Don’t place a financial imposi
tion today on someone who you
once helped out in a small way.
This person will greatly resent
your using an unfair leverage
on an unequaled turnabout.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Today you might take a course
of least resistance and allow a
relative to pressure you into
doing something you’d rather
not do. The resentment you’ll
feel won’t be worth the peace
you achieve.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
Unfortunately, you’ll be
judged more severely for your
mistakes than the credit you’ll
get for achievements. Avoid
unpleasant developments by
thinking your moves through
thoroughly.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) ln order to escape
an embarrassing encounter
today, clear up an old obligation
you had incurred before you’re
called on it. The degradation
might be more than you can
handle.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) Avoid getting together
today with an individual who
always opposes your way of
doing things. Don’t think this
person has changed; he or she
will once again put a damper on
your efforts.
