YOUR WEEKLY HOROSCOPE: BY MISS ANNA
ARIES:
(March 21-April 20)
You may have a tough time with changes on a personal level. Since
these changes are going to take place without your say-so leam to
accept them. Pay attention to your home life, your family needs
your input - expressing positive feelings will do wonders.
TAURUS: (April 21 - May 21)
New ideas need to be shared, and the feedback o f others may
improve the concepts. It’s time to make way for a new approach.
Time out may be a welcome change in your love life - although
there is love, the day to day routine may have become boring and
tedious.
GEMINI: (May 22 - June 21)
Your need for solitude and quiet may be hard to achieve. Make the
necessary compromises, meeting all responsibilities, but keep your
input at a minimum. Try not to be so generous with money, or you
may come up short yourself. Expect defiance from those not
wanting change.
CANCER: (June 22 - July 23)
Use all available resources in the most economic and efficient way
possible in order to reach your goal. You might have to do some
juggling, but the extra effort will be worth it. Others will end up
amazed at how much you were able to do, with so few resources.
LEO:
(July 24- August 23)
Perfection is not required, and will no doubt be impossible to
achieve. Assuming any type o f superior stance will aggravate those
around you, try to leave well enough alone. You have a great deal
to think about, especially concerning personal matters, take time to
do so.
VIRGO:
(August 24 - September 23)
Resist any suggestion or manipulation that tries to get you to give
more than you’ve got in terms o f time, money and energy. Standing
up for yourself will give you a great feeling o f success, boosting
your confidence tenfold. Don’t budge on what you believe.
LIBRA:
(September 24 - October 23)
Show your appreciation to your friends and family. You have lots
to give those you love, and revealing those feelings more often will
bring you joy and peace. Financial success will be tied to a raise or
promotion - and if not now, advancement is in the very near future.
SCORPIO:
(October 24 - November 22)
Learning something new will give you a feeling of joy and
confidence which you can share with friends and loved ones. You
are currently riding on a crest o f continued success either at work
or on the homefront, so be prepared for any unexpected difficulties.
SAGITTARIUS:^November 23 - December 21)
What has previously seemed like a potential disaster, probably
concerning a relationship, may instead turn out positive and
provide you with new opportunities to create a more stable and
loving closeness. If you find yourself in a rut. do something about
it now.
CAPRICORN: (December 22 - January 20)
Any investments, especially in the area o f real estate or stocks, can
provide you with excellent returns. Communicate clearly with
experts in these fields before you make your move. Try to let a
troublesome problem take care o f itself. Enjoy time with your
mate.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 - February 19)
If you feel pressured about making a choice, insist on more time to
gather the information and think about what you really want from
all this. It’s best to delay any decision, instead o f trying to undo
what you never should have done in the first place. Practice
moderation.
PISCES:
(February 20 - March 20)
If you are finding yourself constantly letdown, it may be time to re
examine your expectations - unrealistic expectations o f others will
only cause you grief. Compromise is a key word for the week.
Certain matters are not worth worrying about, since you cannot
change them.
IF THIS WEEK IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Y ou may be having the
nagging feeling that there’s something you should be doing, but
y o o can’t remember just what it is. This may just be a sign that you
words o f the prison guards affect
him.
“They would place bets on how
long it would be before I came
back. And that hurt. They lost and I
won but it’s been a struggle to stay
out o f the game. But people need to
understandthatldon’twanttodwell
on my past any longer. This album
is all about transition— learning,
growing and moving on.”
To quote Chico’s label mate, Erykah
Badu, there is always the other side
o f the game. And for Chico, that
means the women in his life. The
mother he disappointed when he
was in prison, the woman who
promised she'd wait for him, and
the women he didn’t know how to
approach when he was released.
“Things had changed when I got
out. Women were hardened a little
by the actions o f men. And they
were really about taking care of
themselves and not needing a man.
But I was raised to be romantic,
chivalrous, respectful and give
unconditional love.” As Chico
continues to navigate both sides o f
the game— freedom and love— fans
o f his honey-coated riffs can sit
back with a mind-blowing set.
The first single, the Soulshock and
Karlin produced “Given You What
You Want (Fa Sure).” Does just
that. Opening with a seductive
keyboard riff, Chico’s voice (along
with a palpitation bassline) drops
on this track like hot candle wax on
bare skin.
“All we need is a place and time/Set
the pace and free our minds/Let it
go and explore.”
