You don’t always espouse “popular” thinking; you never feel the need to align yourself with the masses, and you more often than not intentionally distance yourself from the majority view. WEDNESDAY, MAY 19 TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A willing- ness to see things from another’s perspective is all that you need today to get the most out of a certain rapidly evolving situation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have to pay a little something for a certain privilege that you know is rare. By day’s end, this outlay of cash will have been worth it! CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Just because you are a bystander doesn’t mean you can change the outcome of a certain situation. Now is the time to get involved! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not be ready to advance to the “next level” today -- so give yourself a little more time to get used to your current position. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may require some technical assistance today, but once you have mastered the first few steps of a given task, you’re well on your way. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are no doubt growing tired of the way things “have to be,” but are you ready to buck the system and change things to suit your desires? SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your focus may have to be split today between two very important issues -- but you realize, just in time, that they are closely linked. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- It’s time to swing into action, and you know just what to do -- and how.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be dealing with more issues today than you had anticipated, but this should not be a problem once you have set up clear priorities. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Now is not the time for you to wage war against the powers that be. Indeed, though it may prove difficult, cooperation can pay off handsome- ly. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may fear that to do what you are told today will be tantamount to selling out -- but that is not the case. You have much to gain. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may find yourself at a standstill today for reasons that are not clear -- but if you pay attention to your surroundings, you’ll get answers. ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ Security Fenced Coded Entry Lighted For Your Protection 6 Different Size Units Lots of RV Storage 41298 Chico Rd., Baker City Off Pocahontas 541-523-9050 637 RV/Trailer/Mobile Home Space-R FOR RENT: Full time RV space $300/mo.
