THURSDAY
Pacing yourself will be important this year. Taking on too
much, too fast will be stressful
and detrimental to your mental,
physical and emotional health.
Consider an unusual opportunity that comes your way, but
only accept what’s feasible. If
you act quickly and reasonably,
good results will follow.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
— Focus on personal relationships. Your serious demeanor
will intimidate someone
younger with less experience
than you. Participate in activities
that provide good times and
some laughs and are conducive
to making new friends.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) —
A partnership will be in jeopardy.
Uncertainty and emotional
discord will leave you in a vulnerable position. Clear the air with
a heart-to-heart discussion and
let your expectations be known.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
— Keep your mind on the job.
Emotional or relationship issues
will hurt your professional
productivity. Deal with personal
problems quickly to avoid a
setback that could alter your
standard of living.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) —
Don’t waste time brooding over
matters that you can’t change.
Increase your knowledge
through study or travel.
Proficiency at a new skill will
expand your career options.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — A
compromise or diplomatic
agreement will be necessary
before you can move ahead with
your plans. Forming an alliance
with a more experienced
individual will open your eyes to
new possibilities.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — It’s
important to spend time
with people you care about.
A get-together or vacation
will bring you closer together.
Involve everyone in making
arrangements so that no one
feels left out.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) — Don’t let anyone
persuade you to do something
against your wishes. Financial
investments must be carefully
researched before you make a
commitment.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Give
love and partnerships top
priority. It’s time to rid yourself
of people or things that have
been holding you back. Taking
control will bring you closer to
your goal.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) —
Relationship woes will escalate
if you cannot keep a secret.
Someone trying to discredit you
will be deceptive. Don’t believe
or repeat information without
researching the facts first.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) —
Your mind is wandering, but
before you aimlessly follow your
dreams, it’s vital that you fulfill
your responsibilities. Neglecting
your duties or career commitments will lead to complaints.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) — You can ease your stress
and reduce tension if you speak
openly about your feelings.
Trying to hide your emotions will
cause a rift that will escalate if
not addressed swiftly.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) — Spend quality time with
someone dear to your heart. A
fun outing will revive your feelings and abolish any uncertainties you may be harboring.
