ARIES (March 21-April 19). The time has come to start respecting your own talents a little more. Claim a coveted position in an important project by asking for more responsibilities. You may have to alter your schedule to help out a relative, but it’s worth it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll discover a sentimental object while cleaning or redecorating your home. A Virgo is just the person to give you a bit of wisdom. Plan future travel now to get the best price. If you wait any longer, you might not be able to afford it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). An excellent opportunity to move up the career ladder comes by putting in extra hours. A new friend has a suggestion that will improve your love life. Speak the truth on personal issues. Don’t mislead anyone with false statements.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Quiet time is necessary to revitalize your energy. Your romantic partner is open to new ideas in regards with how to spend time together. Help a family member make a tough call. Your willingness to go with the flow impresses your date.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Don’t bother trying to do it all; it’s completely counteractive. You’re better off getting some rest. Send a [thank you" car for a gift you received. You have the undivided attention of a Libra. Stay in contact with important people in your life.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (October 20). You’re irresistible! You have an outstanding way with words, and in the next two weeks, you can sweet talk your way into any worthwhile situation. Enjoy your sweetheart’s company in November, instead of making things more complicated. You may change your mind in November, but you’ll have given it a fair shot.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Manage your time to the minute, as you are extremely busy right now. Boost your level of passion by planning a trip with your honey. Loyalty to a friend is more important than increasing your social status. Pay attention to your surroundings.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Urge a relative to take better care of his or her health. A winning attitude is necessary (more so than strength) to succeed in a physical activity or sport. Allowing your kids to join in while you play sport sis even more rewarding and fun.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). End a standoff with a gesture of forgiveness. You earn extra brownie points with the family when you check up on an older relative. Show off your most romantic side this evening – your sweetie is extremely responsive to sentimentalism.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your witty personality gets you far on the social scale. Time is well spent on a community or political group. Forget about household duties tonight, and just relax! Save tomorrow’s problems for tomorrow – stop thinking about them.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have luck in making purchases and selling merchandise. Concentrate on discovering ways to pay off a debt. Friends call, but you might be more satisfied spending time alone and doing the activities you’ve been putting off.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A meeting will keep the peace in your neighborhood. If your reputation is marred in the eyes of someone dear, all you have to do is admit you were wrong, and the doors of acceptance will swing open once again.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Make a profit without apologizing – you deserve abundance, and should feel great about it. Keep a few secrets – this adds mystery to a dying relationship. A relocation and credit-card balance transfer go smoothly this afternoon.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I was born on July 4, 1939. I’m desperate to get a new job. I haven’t been working in a while, but I’m perfect for a position I recently applied for. They’ve interviewed me three times, and I think the main boss (A Le) wants to hire me, but the negotiations are dragging on. Will I get it? I’ve been in limbo for sometime now."
I’d like to see you go to at latest two other companies and get an interview (whether or not the have an opening) right away. It is not because things won’t work out at this great new position, (I think they will) but being desperate" is a bad place to start negotiations rolling. It will help your case if you don’t seem so hungry. With that said, every sign has a different style of negotiation, and it is in the reconciling between you and your potential boss’s needs that determines the end deal. In any negotiation, Cancers tend to be pessimistic. Sometimes they ask for huge salaries when they could get just as much through a combination financial package. A Leo boss might want you to prove yourself first.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Chrissie Hynde exemplifies the most classic characteristics of many Virgo females, such as placing motherhood first, even with a busy career as a rock ‘n roll trailblazer. Virgo is an earth sign with deep respect for life and love for all creatures. Hynde could raise big bucks for her self-started chapter of PETA in Norfolk, Va., this year.
