SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The
backup plan is taking up too
much room. It’s like an unused
computer program occupying
valuable megabytes that could
be spent on a program you do
use.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The
challenge gets harder. This is
happening right on time — you
were in danger of becoming
bored, or worse, letting your
skills get dull. Now you have
something to sharpen yourself
on and exciting reason to try
your best.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You’ll use resources in
creative and fun ways. When
it’s time to be compensated,
though, you tend to undercut
yourself. Let friends and mentors
help you set your price.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
The amount of energy you have
to throw at a problem will have
a lot to do with last night’s sleep,
your nutritional intake and the
current emotional demands. Ad-
dress these areas to set yourself
up for future success.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As
you are well-aware, things are
not always what you expect.
Anticipation can be half the
fun — sometimes it’s 90% of it.
For this reason, you savor these
moments of not knowing what’s
coming next.
B.C.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Anger is a searing emotion that
is dangerous to wield yet hurts
to hold on to. Sometimes you
just have to drop it like it’s hot. It
is! Don’t get burned. What would
it take to cool this off?
OKAY... MAYBE IT'S TIME TO
GET OUT OF THE WATER.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
When life messes with your
confidence, you see it as an op-
portunity to get stronger. Avoid
seeking validation, acceptance or
other forms of external security.
Real security comes from within.

ttORDAC, THE PREVENTER
OF INFORMATION SERVICES.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
won’t get everyone’s approval
and that’s a good thing. It’s bet-
ter to consider many different
points of view. The most suc-
cessful plans and solutions will
come out of a diverse team.
UJHEN UILL YOU
UPGRADE OUR INTERNAL
NETWORK?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
There are advantages to being
less available. What’s in short
supply is more desirable. When
people don’t know where they
stand with you, they will work to
win you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Feelings run deep; you’ll speak
from the heart, words flowing
faster than you can process
them. Consequently, even you
may be surprised at what you
have to say. What seems true in
the moment isn’t always so.
THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY
(March 17). You know what
you want; this is a blessing to
celebrate. You’ll use your talent
for interacting with people of
different generations. You’ll be
enriched by an encompassing
understanding of different worl-
dviews; you’ll be paid well for
your expertise. You’ll be proud
as those close to you thrive and
your group remains tight. Libra
and Gemini adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 8, 19, 3, 34
and 39.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Evidence tells the story of the
detective who collected it. True
facts can be arranged to form
untrue stories. Just because a
thing can be proven doesn’t
mean it’s the only or the fullest
version of the truth.
NON SEQUITUR
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You expect things to go a certain
way, though oddly you may not
even be aware of these expecta-
tions until things do, in fact, not.
Unpack it. An exploration into
deeper levels of your psyche will
be a game changer.
