Aries (March
21-April 19)
You're
swamped
with extra
responsibilities this
month, but determined
to show what you can do.
Keep your wits about you
and you could achieve
something very special.
Opportunities arising at this
time give you the chance
to get closer to your main
goals.
Taurus (April 20-
May 20)
Private matters
need attention.
Perhaps you shouldn't have
too many set plans. You may
have to drop a job when it's
only halfway through and
this could cause you some
inconvenience. It's a great
time for personal enjoyment
and rewards through friends
and contacts, so don't be
afraid to venture out.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Regular
visitors and
social invitations
make it hard for
you to find
time to sim ply relax.
T
Someone comes up with
some adventurous plans
and you wonder whether
they realize what they're
letting themselves in for.
Cancer (June
21-July 22)
With the
sun at the
top of your
chart, you will be working
on your main aims now. As
the month ends, there's a
team spirit in the air when
working with a group.
While complicated towards
the end of the month, great
satisfaction from business
affairs is likely to lift your
spirits.
Leo (July
23-August 23)
Travel
is likely to
provide the
break you are in
desperate need
of even if once you are on
the road journeys aren't
as straightforward as
anticipated. Your goals
are clear and you are less
likely to give off confusing
or mixed signals to others.
You could find yourself
attracting (or attracted to)
more creative or spiritual
sorts of people these days.

Ani and Maggie,
I know this sounds so
cliched, but I'm completely
in love with one of my
friends. I know what
you're thinking when I say
that, this is high school
and I don't know what
it means to be in love. I
don't have a better word
for it. It's more than like, I
can guarantee that. She's
an amazing person to be
around and whenever she
and I are together we can't
stop laughing with each
other. I just love seeing
her be happy, seeing her
smile. The problem is that
she considers me an older
brother. "Older brothers"
don't get attracted to
"little sisters." I don't think

Legal and
financial
transactions
need careful
thought. Check them so
there aren't any loopholes.
You might discover one
ambiguity just in the nick
of time. It's not a month
in which your personal
projects, needs and desires
are easily met, or even an
issue on the table. You are
focusing on your close
personal relationships.
Libra (September
24-October 22)
If you're
single, a
new partner
could enter the scene. It's
a month when you will
be putting other people's
needs before your own.
Be careful, because money
matters are complicated at
the beginning of the month,
but the end of the month
brings stellar opportunities
for love.
Scorpio
(October
23-November
21 )
New job
opportunities are likely.
Although you might like
to be part of a new scheme,
you will want to learn a bit
more before you commit
yourself. Romantic and
creative excitements is in
store for you this month, but
do not lose sight of personal
business affairs. 5 .

Fun
activities are plentiful this
April especially during
the first half of the month.
But are you spending
more on entertaining than
you should? Curb your
extravagant impulses and
focus your attention on
work. Fortunate events
surrounding your home and
family are likely to happen
at the beginning of the
month.
Capricorn
(December
22-January 19)
There is a lot
going on in your
social world, but
at the same time, you have
a number of commitments
to your family. Friends
want you to join them but
offer excellent advice

Virgo (August
24-September
she realizes how much it
hurts me to be around her
and know that nothing
will happen when I want
something to happen so
badly. I can’t tell her how
much it hurts because
I've spent the past couple
months trying to prevent
rifts in our friendship after
the first one almost pushed
her away from me. She
knows that I have feelings
for her, yet she continues
to do things that keep me
at just the right distance
that I know nothing can
happen, but always keeps
me around.
The Romeo She'll Never
Know
Dear Romeo,
From what you've said,
it sounds as though your
friend knows your feelings
and doesn't return them.
While it's possible that
this could change, it's not
advisable to wait around for
that to happen. You need
to decide if your friendship
with her is meaningful
enough to maintain even if
you have to deal with the
pain of her not returning
your romantic feelings. If
you want to continue the
friendship, try branching
out to others, too. Talk to
people you haven't talked
to before and see if you
can meet someone new
who feels the same way
about you as you do about
them. If you're willing to
risk the friendship over
your feelings, try talking
to her. It would be hard,
but it would help both
of you understand the
other's point of view better.
Even if it doesn't lead to a
romance, it could lead to
you two knowing what the
other needs to make the
friendship survive. Let her
know what she does that
makes the situation hard for
you, and she'll likely give
you some pointers, too. We
wish you the best of luck
with whatever decision you
make!
Ani and Maggie
If you have a problem and
would like to receive advice from
Ani and Maggie, just write a
letter and put it in the "Advice
Box" at the desk in the library.
All letters received will remain
anonymous.
The, sMervte Suffered
if you're tied to your home,
perhaps they might have to
come to you, instead!
Aquarius (January
20-February 18)
Involvement
in your local
community
will bring
unexpected
rewards. A communication
will bring news to seriously
consider. After the 19th,
make time for a creative
hobby that will benefit
you and your friends.
Communications are strong,
and love may even come
through them.
Pisces
(February
19-March 20)
Money affairs
seem to be
quite sensitive at
the moment. This may
have something to do with
social arrangements or
activities going on in your
neighborhood. People are
coming together financially
but this could be hard on
your relationships.

"I used to a few years
ago and it got obsessive,
so I stopped. I actually eat
less when I'm not counting
calories," a female senior said.
Opinions were mixed about
whether students felt pressure
to exercise or about their eating
habits. Many of those who did
feel pressure said it came from
peers or the media.
"People will judge you
based on your appearance
and also you will compare
yourself to other people with
'the perfect body,"' a female
freshman said.
Most people reported the
pressure being self-inflicted,
and many are realizing that
this is often the case.
"I do [feel pressure], but a
lot less pressure than before. I
am comfortable with my body
now—finally," a female senior
said.
