CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A
long-standing problem is resolved
by a mutually agreed upon compro-
mise. You can now focus on getting
the facts you’ll need for a decision
you’ll soon be asked to make.
SUPER CROSSWORD: PROPELLING ANSWER
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Th e
Big Cat needs to be wary of what
appears to be a golden investment
opportunity. Th at “sure thing” could
turn out to be nothing more than a
sack of Kitty Glitter.
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) You give of yourself generously
to help others, but right now you
must allow people to help you.
Confi de your problems to family
and trusted friends.
LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) Relationships benefi t from a
strong harmonious aspect. Th ings
go more smoothly at work. Some-
one you thought you’d never see
again asks for a reconciliation.
SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-
ber 21) A minor distraction inter-
feres with travel plans, but the delay
is temporary. Meanwhile, expect
to play peacemaker once again for
feuding family members.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to
December 21) Keep that positive
momentum going on the home
front. Arrange your schedule to
spend more time with your family.
You’ll soon have news about that job
change.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) Control that possessive
tendency that sometimes goads
you into an unnecessary display of
jealousy. You could be creating prob-
lems where none currently exist.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-
ary 18) A new project holds some
challenges you hadn’t expected. But
don’t be discouraged; you’ll fi nd
you’re more prepared to deal with
them than you realized.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) Yours is the sign of the celestial
Chemist, so don’t be surprised if you
experience a pleasant “chemistry”
betwixt yourself and that new Leo in
your life.
BORN THIS WEEK: You enjoy be-
ing fussed over, as befi ts your “royal”
Leonine nature. You also have a
strong loyalty to family and friends.
