WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 2005
Astro Graph
By Bernice Bede Osol
Wednesday, May 18, 2005
There is a good chance you
could do some weeding out
within your peer group in the
year ahead. By doing so you’ll
make time for new people to
come into your life who will
bring you greater happiness
and joy.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
This is one of those days
where the seriousness of busi
ness isn’t apt to mix too well
with pleasure. Decide upon
doing one or the other, but
don’t try to join both together
at the same time.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
New information may come
to you today pertaining to an
important decision you have to
make, but be sure to sift
through it thoroughly because
false statements could lead you
far afield.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Something for which you’ve
been hoping has a good chance
of coming into being at this
time. Remain hopeful and don’t
let negative thinking upset you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A
personal ambition can be fur
thered today, provided it is your
primary objective. It’s going to
take total dedication on your
part to your cause in order to
realize the success you’re hop
ing for.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Unfortunately, some restric
tions could unexpectedly hem
you in from time to time today,
but if you remain cool, inde
pendent and effective action
can be taken to sidestep any
obstacles.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
It may look to outsiders today
that you’re being a fool for
sticking by someone who they
believe doesn’t appreciate it,
but your faith will be rewarded
by this person in far greater
measure.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
Someone may do something
so outlandish today to cause
you to doubt the depth of his or
her friendship, yet you’ll be
smart enough to see the out
come before reacting and be
glad you did.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23
Dec. 21) lf you stay calm and
complete a difficult task today
instead of postponing it, you’ll
end up having a red sense of
accomplishment. Onlookers
will also recognize and applaud
your success.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) A persistent positive and
optimistic attitude will eventu
ally have a desirable effect upon
persons who are causing distur
bances today. You’ll be the
inspiration that turns them
around.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) lt might take a bit of
shopping today in order to find
some much needed household
items at reasonable prices, but
your persistence will pay off.
You’ll find what you’re looking
for.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
Even though someone may
not treat you in a similar fash
ion, make it a point to deal fair
ly with him or her. You’ll end up
looking good in the eyes of oth
ers and they will even the score
for you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Conditions that affed your
financial affairs continue to
hold promise, provided you’re
willing to put forth the effort
and not fall for any pie-in-the
sky scheme being presented by
another.
