HOROSCOPE
ARIES This is a period that
most Arians hate with a
passion, it is time to make
detailed decisions and plans
for the near future. The reason
most Arians hate such days is
because they begin to think of
all those things they have yet
to accomplish...how can they
begin to make more plans if
the last ones aren’t completed
yet? The answer, your goals
should be made on a shorter
period basis, such as weekly,
or monthly...not yearly.
TAURUS If you feel that things
are moving and you are
standing still in the midst of it
all, then you are probably right.
Most Taureans can be com-
pared to a historical site, or
building that stands tall and
proud among the modern
structures. This provides for a
sound and secure home life.
Most Taureans this week will
find an empty spot in their
hearts. A nostalgic look of
things of fond memory will
make this a solem, and a
quietly delightful time.
GEMINI will find this a
lucky week to live. To begin
with an offer will be made to
you that will be difficult to
refuse. But make it even more
worthwhile by telling the of-
ferer what exactly you want in
the way of work load, and
compensations. Next a
gathering of lovely and quiet
people, (the ones that don’t
gossip) will need your presen-
ce. Here you will realize the
power of persuasion that you
possess. And finally, money
will find its way to you in a
most unusual manner.
CANCER
Despite the action that
surrounds you this week, you
will surprise yourself when you
find yourself calm, and cool
about the whole situation.
Well, why not, you realize that
all possible measures to take
are not yours to make. Later
days close with an invitation to
a social gathering. Put on your
best dress, and dance into the
moonlight.
LEO
The truth shall set you free. If
you realize that you have been
holding a grudge against
someone who has not done
you harm, then make amends
as soon as possible. To wait
even another hour could be
dangerous. Avoid any travel at
this time. Accidents will oc-
cure especially if travel in-
volves speed that you control
manually, such as driving in a
car. If you cannot avoid the
travel, then keep eyes, ears,
and noses straight ahead, and
see the danger before it hits.
VIRGO Someone close will be
in dire need of your assistance.
Money will not be the matter
here, but rather the person will
seek a comfort that is calm
and logical as well as trusting;
the characteristics that a Virgo
posseses. This astonishing
news will make you realize that
if percautions had been taken
earlier on your part, if you had
not been so cool and calm,
then possibly the matter could
have been avoided. Later days
close with laughter.
LIBRA You think that life is
a bowl of cherries now. All that
you need is there for you, all
that you want, is within your
reach and all that you dreamed
of, is just a few hours
away...wait a minute! don’t
count your chickens before
they hatch. Maybe, just maybe,
somewhere along the way, you
made things just a bit too easy
for yourself...avoiding the hard
work and energies needed to
make each goal a success
worthwhile. Think about it, was
it all too easy to accomplish. If
so, re-evaluate your goals, you
have yet to reach your true
potential, thus, your cheating
only yourself.
SCORPIO The emphasis now is
health. You should strive to
keep it tip. top shape daily by
not indulging in those heavey,
greasy, late evening
meals...and lack of excercise.
If you feel that your body has
changed, that your not as ac-
tive, as youthful, as healthy as
you once were then make every
action necessary to see a doc-
tor, and begin a program of
complete physical fitness.
