ARIES (March 21-April 19). The Yugoslavi- an proverb suggests that if you want to know what a man is, place him in authority. Indeed, you’ll learn something more about yourself as you fulfill the leadership role that’s thrust upon you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). City lights are only dazzling because of the darkness that surrounds them. If you find yourself in bleak circumstances, consider it lucky — it’s the perfect backdrop to highlight your inner shine. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Don’t assume your opinion is similar to the rest. You’re looking at the same thing everyone else is looking at and yet you’re seeing something completely different. Speak up. They need to hear you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Sure, you need to make living and/or make your way in the world, just like everyone else. Still, you have a bigger vision in mind. You have a burning need to enrich the world with your presence. You will succeed in this today. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Why do people think that it’s bad luck to state your good luck aloud. Truly, there is no reason to knock on wood. Count your blessings and watch them multiply as you do. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Weak and in- effective decision-making happens when the person who makes the decision is not the one who bears the consequence of that deci- sion. You can affect great change by applying this truth. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Courteous and obliging — that’s your nature. It is because of your application of good manners and so- cial graces (and not in spite of it) that you are FRANK AND ERNEST BLONDIE THATABABY SALLY FORTH PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN B.C. LOLA DILBERT SIX CHIX BIZARRO MUTTS NON SEQUITUR BABY BLUES WIZARD OF ID ZITS ROSE IS ROSE able to lay down boundaries that others will respect. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Once you know what you want to do, you have the au- dacity to commit your whole self to it. Until then, you’re wise to dip a finger or a toe in. They will want more from you, but you don’t owe anyone any promises. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You root for the success of your loved ones. There may be tinges of jealousy there, too, though you’ve nothing to worry about. In pushing someone up the hill, you’ll get closer to the top. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You do not give your trust easily, and yet you realize that to some degree everyone can be trusted. But trusted to do what? That is the question. Trust is really a matter of prediction. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You know that life is not about acquiring things or col- lecting achievements, and yet those goals do keep you in the path most likely for “life” to happen upon you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You deliver praise lavishly and without expectation of reciprocation. This is not only generous, but also smart. Later, when you have a wish or comment that may be considered a bit sensi- tive or critical, you will be well-received. WEDNESDAY’S BIRTHDAY (February 10). Yours is the long way, but that is also the way you gain the most confidence, the great- est amount of skills and the highest likelihood of making good on the same gold mine for years to come. You’ve an instinct for the winning move! March proves this and July proves it again. Travel in September. Leo and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 2, 11, 22 and 19.
