STAR SIGNS ARIES (March 21-April 19): Gos- sip may go on behind closed doors, but you can lock the door. Be open-minded and as fair as possible with those you work with or love. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t stray too far from a loved one. Stay connected with those you care about no matter how vast the distance between you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Anything worth having is worth testing with the passage of time. It is quite easy to be- come obsessed about obtaining something quickly. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Un- settledness and a lack of con- tinuity are not conducive to peace of mind. You may feel that you are being pressured into doing something. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): One thing at a time. Stay focused on keeping your promises even if a previous obligation seems to interfere. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Find a quiet nook or cor- ner. You might do your best work far from noise or with soothing music playing in the background. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Peace and tranquility are in sight, but for the moment you should lay low. It is a poor day to put fi- nancial irons in the fire. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Use your mind to develop trust with business and personal contacts. Your charisma, confidence and sharp business sense will come into play as you stand apart from the crowd. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): With the right attitude, you can turn water into wine. Avoid dwelling on fears and doubts. Keep your thoughts focused on being logical. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t stray from the safe and well-marked path. You will be happiest if you can escape rou- tines but this too may cause friction with others who have high expectations of you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be contented with what you have. Your eyes may wander towards something new and different, but that which will bring you the greatest happi- ness is already yours. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Avoid mix-ups by being very clear and precise about what- ever you say. It will be possible for others to misinterpret your words or actions. IF NOVEMBER 12 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: In the next several months an ability to concen- trate on success is accentuated and will leave you brimming with confidence. Each small success builds another step of assurance and poise. In late January and February your ambitions may come to the forefront. Because you can ap- ply unflagging energy to a pet project or important goal you are quite likely to accomplish something of significance. Charge forward enthusiastical- ly into greener pastures during March. The opportunities that appear are very likely to lead to a better position.
