AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) —
Lady Luck will have you under her
protective wing until she can deliver
you to the right spot at the right
time. Don’t reject her shelter, thinking
you can speed things up.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) —
If you’re too susceptible to sowing
seeds of doubt, someone could put a
damper on all the good things that
are destined to happen for you. Be
optimistic, regardless of who says
what.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) —
Although your ideas will be good
ones, co-workers and friends, in
turn, may not pursue your concepts
and interests. Help them when you
can, but don’t expect any aid in
return. Depend only on yourself.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) —
There is nothing wrong with your
judgment, which is apt to be very
good. But another might seek reasons
for you to delay your plans.This
would be a mistake. Be your own
person.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) —
Although duty might call, you won’t
mind attending to another’s needs
— but do so only if it is honestly necessary.
Ignore pleas of help for selfish
reasons.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) —
Do what is expected of you, and
your efforts will be proportionately
acknowledged and rewarded. If

instead you start worrying about
whether or not you will be properly
compensated, nothing will get done.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — When
self-defeating thoughts of jealousy
take hold, you could deprive yourself
of enjoying the company of
someone who is fun to be around.
Nip it in the bud, and make the necessary
mental adjustments.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) —
You have the ability to see people
for what they are, so follow your perceptions
and ignore what others
might be saying. If someone is trying
to arouse your suspicions, protect
your flanks.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — By
thinking well of everyone, your popularity
will blossom. However, if you
associate with persons who cloak
themselves in selfishness, they
could put a damper on your good
nature.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) —
The many good things you do are
likely to be acknowledged by others.
Yet should you make a few minor
infractions, they sadly will be noted
in minute detail and remembered as
well.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) — Fortunately, you could be
extremely lucky when it comes to
matters that influence your financial
and material well-being. When
it comes to social relationships, however,
the opposite may be true.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
— Hope must never be diluted by
pessimism because that produces a
formulation for loss.Your luck lies in
a positive outlook on the world and
what you’re capable of acquiring.
