By Bernice Bede Osol
Saturday, Dec. 31, 2005
In the year ahead, you will
be able to initiate a number
of specific changes you’ve
wanted to make for some time.
Conditions will make it possible
for you to operate independently
from what others desire.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) lf you want to be successful
today, operate as independently
as you can. Although you
usually need people around you,
you might want to disengage
yourself from those who restrict
you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) - Today, a little solitude
may be exactly what it takes to
refurbish yourself. But if you
can’t have alone time for as
long as you’d like, don’t hesitate
to go along with whatever the
plans are.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
- Several friends who may
not have seen you for a while
will be extremely pleased to be
with you today. Take measures
to spend as much time with
them as possible in sharing
camaraderie.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
- Enjoy doing things with
your friends or watching some
television today, but unless you
also accomplish something of
substance, you’re apt to have
guilt over idling your time
away.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -
Although you may be confronted
with making some unpleasant
choices today, which might not
be easy, be sure you do what is
proper instead of merely doing
what is the most expedient.
GEMINI (May 21 June 20)
- There are possibilities for
you to get the better end of a
bargain today, but there’s no
need to feel guilty about it.
What you gain may not be a
jackpot, but it isn’t likely to be
peanuts, either.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- People with whom you spend
your time today will treat you
exactly as you treat them. If
you need them to go out of
their way for you, show them a
willingness to put yourself out
for them.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -
- Even though you may have
been working a bit harder than
usual this past week, don’t
be lazy regarding your duties
today. You’ll feel better for it
if you don’t put fun and games
above your chores.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -
- When you set out to enjoy
yourself today, put aside other
serious matters, relax and have
fun. Conversely, when your
focus is on your responsibilities,
don’t get distracted by frivolous
things.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -
- You may be a bit slow in
joining in on the action today,
but as time moves on, your
involvement will grow as you
get more deeply entrenched in
what’s going on. You’re not apt
to be a loner.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
- Your discerning mind will
be able to separate what is
practical from that which is
wishful thinking, and you’ll
make the right decision when
called upon to do so today. You
have the edge.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) The prospects for
a favorable day are extremely
good today, with the exception
of one scenario. If you expect
more than that to which you
are actually entitled, you will be
greatly disappointed.
