CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Right
now you are especially vulnerable
to holiday scams that seek to take
advantage of your generosity. Best
advice: Check them out before you
send out your checks.
SUPER CROSSWORD: NOTED PHRASES
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Th e
upcoming holiday season gives the
Big Cat much to purr about. Rela-
tionships grow stronger, and new
opportunities loom on the horizon,
just waiting to be pounced on.
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) A changing situation brings
confl icting advice about how to go
forward with your holiday plans.
Your best bet: Make the decision
you feel most comfortable with.
LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) Holiday plans get back on track
aft er some confusion about the
direction you expected to take. A
potentially troublesome money mat-
ter needs your immediate attention.
SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-
ber 21) Your holiday preparations
are on track. But you need to con-
front a personal situation while you
can still keep it from overwhelming
everything else.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22
to December 21) Tight fi nancial
matters ease a bit during this holiday
season. But the sagacious Sagittarian
is well-advised to keep a tight hold
on the reins while shopping for gift s.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) Don’t put off making
decisions about this year’s holiday
celebrations, despite the negative
comments you’ve been getting from
several quarters. Do it NOW!
AQUARIUS (January 20 to Feb-
ruary 18) Th e holidays will bring
new friends and new opportunities.
Meanwhile, be careful to use your
energy wisely as you go about mak-
ing holiday preparations.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)
Th ere’s good news coming from a
most unlikely source. And it could
turn out to be one of the best holiday
gift s you have had in years. Remem-
ber to stay positive.
BORN THIS WEEK: You are re-
spected for your honesty and loyalty.
You make friends slowly -- but with
rare exceptions, they’re in your life
forever.
