ASTRO-GRAPH
By Bernice Bede Osol
Although all your goals might not be
attained In the year ahead, concentrate
on several major targets and the impor-
tant ones will be. The trick is not to
expect more from yourself than time
permits.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Resist the
urge to be overly protective of those In
your charge today. Your good intentions
may be construed as smothering.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Allow the
pleasantry of the entire day to linger in
your mind until day’s end. Your feelings
of welLbelng will be governed by your
choices.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Be
extremely selective regarding the out-
side activities you involve yourself in
today, as you don’t want to regret get-
ting in over your head.
LIBRA (Sept 230ct. 23) — For most of
the day you’ll be your sweet cooperative
self, but as you tire, your patience will
as well. Don’t end the day on a note of
intolerance.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Your gen-

desires of others without feeling put
upon. However, should someone deny
you a turn at the receiving end, you’ll
show your teeth.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) —
Flirting Is one thing, but getting Involved
in romantic Intrigue is quite another. Be
careful how far you go today and what
the consequences will be If you cross
the line.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Ybu’H
end up on the short end of an agree-
ment today If you don’t check out what
the other person is offering. Take ample
time to weigh all the pros and cons.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) —
Shelving things you don’t feel like doing
might seem like a dandy idea now, but
when faced with having to do them, It
could turn your day into a nightmare.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Allow
those special to you to be just as out-
going and attentive with others as they
are with you today. If you believe gal-
lantries exist solely for you, you could
be in for some jealous moments.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — A family
member you've gone out of your way to
help may not show the proper apprecia-
tion. Don’t let It spoil your day; let the
deed be your reward.
TAURUS (April 2CLMay 20) — Do not be
too critical of people who work at your
side today. Do your best on the job and
garner satisfaction from that, not from
comparing yourself to others.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Trying to
make up for an infraction with a materi-
al peace offering may not work out too
well If the person Is still steaming. Only
a sincere apology offered with hat in
hand may suffice.
Cancer, treat yourself to a birthday gift
