Security Bank keeps momentum with 40% profit growth in Q1

The sun and Saturn meet for a talk about what’s really bugging you. They ask: Is it better to make peace with our limitations or push the river? The former seems like a defeatist attitude, while the latter is downright frightening. The winning answer may be to accept your limitations as temporary, while you consider that they may also be illusory.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Repeat after me: “You are not the boss of me!” Say this three times in the mirror before you go to work so you won’t actually say it to your boos. There’s something liberating acknowledging who the real boss is.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re having a conversation in two different languages. But it’s not a language barrier. You’re both telling two versions of an old story that loops on repeat until you get it. Your understanding bridges differences.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re in a tight spot, heading down the court with no one to throw a pass to. It’s all a matter of timing, and you’re on it. You have to shoot for the hoop like Charles Barkley, and you may miss. But what a game!

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The best things in life are free, right? Ugh. Not that one again. Such truisms may annoy you, but nonetheless, hopefully you won’t be shopping indoors, missing the beautiful sunset.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You stub your toe on something that’s been there all long – metaphorically, at least. Sometimes you need to make contact with a hard object just to get directionally oriented.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 30). You’re assimilating your life’s experience and growing wiser for it. It’s not a year to make big demands, it’s be-nice-to-you year. Instead of kicking yourself over the past, ask “what next?” For the next six weeks, let your energy build. In July, you’re gangbusters, full of passionate, sensual magnetism. Aquarius and Sagittarius people share your interests. Your lucky numbers are: 35, 17, 10, 8 and 3.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Everyone’s got their weakness, like fear of failure, or second-guessing themselves. But no one in the course of history has accomplished anything by letting those weaknesses stop them. And you won’t either.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You may not feel like making a big deal over what you want (because it’s against your nature), but if you’re not worth a big deal, who is? Be fair – not just in regard to everyone else, but also to yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People will show up to support you. None of this makes a lick of difference if you can’t self-validate. You’re OK – really, you are. Give yourself a gold seal of approval.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You say you should be further along in your journey and have more tangible measures of success to show for your efforts. Relax. Put down the yardstick. Where you are and what you have are perfect.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Excess pride has boondoggled heroes and love relationships. Yes, feelings of superiority won’t get you anything, but neither will denying your ambition. There’s no shame in wanting to be the best.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A relationship challenges you to own your inconsistencies of character. Everyone has them, but frankly, yours are so adorable to the ones who love you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Poor little Cinderella wondered as she put on her ragged clothes whether she would ever be queen of the ball, and then someone saved her. You’re better off behaving like the winning prince – with certainty and action.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: “Your mentioned that, ‘as the first sign of the Zodiac, Aries is like a perpetual child.’ Where do the rest of the signs fall in line, particularly Gemini, my sign?”

I’ve been imagining the sun signs through the eyes of kids, the time of life when our character is most pure and simple. I think some of the best examples can be found in a nursery, playground or park! Aries through Libra was covered earlier this week. Here’s Scorpio through Pisces: SCORPIO would like a playmate, but it terribly shy, so sits alone. When she offers a toy to Taurus, they both learn valuable lessons about sharing, trust and making lifelong friends. SAGITTARIUS is swinging from the monkey bars outside and making far too optimistic promises about where he’s going to land. (Gemini doubts it and says so.) CAPRICORN can’t believe Sag is so immature. She’s already building a popsicle-stick model of her dream home and weighing her career options at age 10. AQUARIUS is surrounded by friends. He’s organizing a protest against the pledge of allegiance, and for longer lunch hours. PISCES lies in the grass naming the cotton-candy cloud formations drifting by – bunny rabbits and magicians.
