Wife Swap (that) (ll)
.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Untangling
personal problems might take more time
than the impatient Lamb expected. But it’s
important to hang in there until all those
knotty, situations are straightened out.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You still
need to work out last-minute snags in your
dealings with a rival. Hold your ground
despite a perceived lack of support. Things
should turn around before you know it.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Best not to
delay preparing for that upcoming family
event. The sooner you get things started.
the better chance you have of finding
potential problems and making needed
changes.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The roman-
tic Moon Child might be reluctant to see
the reality behind that “ideal” situation.
But by midweek, the practical Crab emerg—
es to help clear away the moonbeams.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Although
the Big Cat might be receptive to more
“purr—suasion” to get you to agree to a
workplace change, make sure you can
distinguish the fine line between facts
and flattery.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your
positive attitude in the workplace helps
to get you noticed by the right people.
Now go ahead and use some of that new
self—confidence to help shore up a personal
relationship.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22)
Although you might still have to work out
some problems with a business partner,
things go more smoothly on the home
front. An investment opportunity might
need more study.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21)
Don’t be reluctant to act on your suspicion.
Even if others see nothing wrong, the
astute Scorpio could sense an underlying
problem that isn’t always obvious on the
surface. . ,
SAGI'ITARIU S (November 22 to Decem-
ber 21) A new opportunity presents some
obstacles that need to be dealt with as
soon as possible. Delaying action in hopes
that the problems will go away could be
counterproductive.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January
19) A friend or familv member’s request
might carry some hidden factors that could
later create problems. Be sure you know all
the facts before you make your decision.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18)
A setback in implementing a plan could
turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Use
the downtime to rework your original
concepts and see where changes could
be made.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You
might not be consciously fishing for com—
pliments, but admit it —- won’t you feel
great when your efforts are noticed? So
accept the praise gracefully. You earned it.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your love of beauty
in your personal life extends to your efforts
to protect and preserve the natural world
around you.
