You’ve been trying to nestle yourself into a niche, but maybe it’s not as complicated as you’re making it. You know what you’d like to see and what you want to happen. Therein lies your niche. You don’t have to invent anything. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The simple courtesies you extend are what make peo- ple feel warm and comfortable in an envi- ronment. Experience has taught you which ones: Trust yourself. Bonus: Your social graces are contagious. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re drawn to and inspired by talented people. Their skill brings them so wholly into the present mo- ment that you become immersed in it, too, just by being audience to them. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You feel like you’re being pulled in five directions at once. Unplug for a while. When you turn off all the glowing screens in your life and opt for just breathing, nothing else, it’s remarkable how much this helps. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s a bit of show business to pull off today. The hype and excitement are half of the fun. Without them, this is just “business,” and that wouldn’t be nearly as lucky or profitable for you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There’s no reason to try and push the action along — and it wouldn’t work anyway. Sit back, relax and watch. Things will happen naturally and in their own time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Education is your engine. As long as you’re learning, you’re moving forward. When the learning stops, ask a different question. One good question is all it takes to change everything. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). All gifts come 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 with responsibilities. Sometimes the respon- sibility is as small as a gracious reception or a tacit agreement to keep the item. Even that is sometimes more trouble than it’s worth. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The sun shines down on everyone around you in equal measure. Some bask in the warmth, and others flee from the radiation. Your life experiences have taught you how to protect yourself. You have metaphorical sunscreen. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Ask for what you need, even if the right people ar- en’t around — even if no one is around! Ask anyway. Asking helps you articulate more exactly what it is you want to happen next. Also, invisible forces are listening. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It will be slow going at first, but once you commit, you’ll soon find yourself in the zone. In fact, you’ll kill it! You’ll be particularly good at tasks that require verbal, social and athletic skill. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s no such thing as being permanently excited or permanently bored. You’ll pass through many states of mind today — twice as many as usual. Whatever state you’re in, acknowl- edge its temporal nature. WEDNESDAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 20). Your mastery of a skill will bring a rainbow of opportunity. Over the next three weeks, much good comes out of your affection for family. A business deal will get you into the lifestyle changes you’ve been wanting. Late summer brings greater intensity to your love life. A long struggle ends favorably for you in September. Libra and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 47, 9, 14, 28 and 32.
