DATED: May 26, 2020. P. O. Box 965 Baker City, Oregon 97814 541-523-4444 Floyd C. Vaughan, Successor Trustee Published: August 8, 15, 22, 29, 2020 Legal No. 202349 MONDAY, AUGUST 10, 2020 by Stella Wilder SUNDAY, AUGUST 9, 2020 YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder Born today, you are a portrait of strength, stability and decisiveness -- but beneath the surface, you may be hiding insecurities and fears of which no one, save those who know you best, is at all aware. You are aware of it too, of course, and you spend a great deal of your time balancing your more confident, aggressive side and that part of your person- ality that would, if given complete liberty, hide away from the rest of the world and prevent you from accomplishing much. MONDAY, AUGUST 10 LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can pull many people together today and help them come to a consensus about an important issue. This won’t be the only time, surely! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You mustn’t allow yourself to become comfortable with a situation that is, right now, inconvenient in the extreme. Stay active and responsive. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can put the pieces of a puzzle together today in such a way that you never again lose sight of the big picture. This is progress! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are capable of doing much more than you are allowed to do right now, but this is no time for pushing back. Let things be -- for now. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You will experience something that takes you back in time and has you remembering things that still make a big difference to you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A test of wills is far more important to win today than a test of skills. Ultimately, he who sticks with it longer will prevail. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can make a dream come true today, but there are likely to be those who are underwhelmed. That’s certainly of no concern to you! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You know you’ll have to take a risk today if you want to stay in the game, but you may be surprised to learn just what is at stake. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You have no time to waste today and much to get done before someone crashes your party and makes you adopt a whole different methodol- ogy. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be around people who lose control today, but you must not. Indeed, the more you remain calm and rational, the better for everyone! GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You are able to dream up something that will take even your critics by storm -- and, soon, both your reputation and your wallet will expand. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be struggling with what is “normal” and what is not. Today, that should be your last concern; sticking to the plan is what counts. MONDAY, AUGUST 10, 2020 YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder Born today, you are not always perfectly suited to jobs and assignments that you may be given, but this is because you have an air of expertise about you that has other people thinking that you’d be quite good at almost anything -- but you know from experience this is not the case. When the truth comes out and you are unable to meet expectations, you do not take it too much to heart, and you can work with others with more skill and experi- ence to undo any mistakes you may have made. TUESDAY, AUGUST 11 LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You’re going to want to work closely with a friend or family member to ensure that neither of you spends too much time or money at once. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A collabora- tion of sorts results in something quite unex- pected, and this is something you will try to repeat in the future! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may not enjoy all the success you were hoping for today, but the progress you make will put you much closer to a goal. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Focus on only one endeavor and you’re almost certain to miss out on more than one opportunity that will become available to you today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Don’t try too many things at once today! You must stay in control -- and that means keep- ing your ambition on a leash for the time being. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You have cause to think back on a time when things were “better” than they are now. Honest assessment tells you that right now could be worse. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You’re likely to blossom under someone’s unexpect- ed tutelage today. What happens next can be manipulated to give you a long-term advan- tage. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You mustn’t think that once you’ve said what you have to say that everything will fall out as planned. You must be diligent -- and vigilant! ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Things seem to be more complicated than you had expected today -- but that may simply be a product of errant perception. Look again. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Just because something doesn’t make you smile out of enjoyment doesn’t mean it can be avoided altogether today. Sometimes work is work. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Others see you for what you really are today -- and that may prove to be more than you think! Why not listen to those who praise you? CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can expect one or two new doors to be opened to you today -- but if you’re not ready to walk through them, it will amount to nothing.
