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.” ORTLAN TUB&TAN Come and experience Portland's premiere Hot Tubbing By-The-Hour We feature private Hot Tubs complete with shower, towels, and music 8 0 th St Stark • 256-4TAN SAVE 25% Off • • • • Tanning Tubbing Hair Care Massage IS
