HOROSCOPE

You are warm, friendly
and charismatic. You
know how to deal with
people. You are future-
oriented and often concerned
with your security. This is the
first year of a new nine-year
cycle for you, which means
being brave and flexible and
having the courage to walk
new paths and open new
doors.
DILBERT SCOTT ADAMS JUDGE PARKER FRANCESCO MARCIULIANO & MIKE MANLEY
Moon Alert: Caution: Avoid
shopping or making important
decisions all day until
7:30 p.m. After that, the
Moon moves from Aquarius
into Pisces.
ARIES
(MARCH 21-APRIL 19).
Let’s face it, issues are
hot topics today, making it
tough to avoid an argument.
For starters, steer clear of
controversial subjects, which
will press everyone’s buttons.
(Religion, politics, racial
issues.)
FRAZZ JEF MALLETT CANDORVILLE DARRIN BELL
TAURUS
(APRIL 20-MAY 20).
Hold on to your hat and avoid
squabbles and power struggles
about money, shared assets,
taxes, debt and inheritances --
and possibly insurance issues.
(It’s the whole nine yards.) If
you stay levelheaded, some of
these issues will subside.

This is a difficult day for
dealing with spouses, partners
and dear friends. Mars is

You might feel upset about

(JUNE 21-JULY 22).
Today your ruler the Moon is
lined up with Saturn, which
makes you feel lonely or cut

(JULY 23-AUG. 22).
This is a tough day. Relations
with partners and close friends
are dicey. Issues with your kids
and romantic partners are
contentious. You might be at
odds with a friend. Relax. In a
few days, all is well.
VIRGO

opinions over home repairs or

you feel overwhelmed or world-

LIBRA
(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22).
You like harmony in your
surroundings. Today difficult
encounters with others will
bring you down. Romance and
issues with sports or social
outings or possibly your kids
also might depress you.
SCORPIO
(OCT. 23-NOV. 21).
NON SEQUITUR WILEY BABY BLUES RICK KIRKMAN & JERRY SCOTT Financial matters are a
concern today, especially
debt, other people’s wealth

conversation with a parent or
someone older at home might
be a bummer.
SAGITTARIUS

Discussions with others are
