ARIES (March 21-April 19). Money and security are important to you. Don’t let any- one make you feel like you’re uptight just be- cause you need to know the details connect- ed to your financial security. It doesn’t make you uptight; it makes you smart. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll make practical choices, honor tradition and show up where you’re expected. At some point you’ll wonder what’s in it for you — a natural response to these circumstances. You’ll find out the answer to that soon enough. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Common inter- ests and social activities are at the center of a relationship right now, but there has to be more than that at the center for this to work well. Dig deeper and note what else is there. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are de- voted to your loved ones and domestic life, but you have many tastes and interests out- side of the realm of what your friends and family can understand. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You know right away what is for you and what is not. How- ever, you won’t say no right away, because you care about people’s feelings. Later, you’ll be glad you make the effort to let them down gently. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Hard-selling isn’t your thing. You prefer to present your case then step back and let people draw their own conclusions. Today’s situation is different. There’s more at stake, and it will be worth it to push and make it happen. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll do more to push a group’s agenda than you would ever do to forward your own private inter- ests. Think about this. Don’t you deserve as ferocious a fight as you’re giving on behalf 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 of others? SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People will remember what you told them first and also the last thing you said. As for the middle, well, blame it on the diminishing attention span of the new world; then find another way to get that important message across. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ve a need for close personal relationships, but this need is not as driving or overwhelmingly big for you as it is for some. You can relate with compassion to the intense souls of your life while still maintaining perspective. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Although you approach the problem from a different place, you will come to the same solution as another great mind across the way. This is not happening by accident. Take it as a hint and let it bring you together. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This day comes complete with the gifts of a rare qual- ity of warmth, affection and attraction. Enjoy and, while you’re at it, save a little piece of this so you can recall it better later. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Diplomacy is often the best way to go, but in today’s in- stance this is not the case. You’ll be better off to take a stand for what you really believe; otherwise you’ll wind up in a tight spot later. TUESDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 16). By this time next year you’ll be richer! You’ll put your off-the-chart energy levels to excellent use in the next 10 weeks and get set for a major move mid-April. May is romantic, though love will visit you in many other forms, as well, as you head into a summer of rather unusual and exciting circumstances. Virgo and Sagit- tarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 29, 1, 22, 23 and 30
