SKETCHBOOK BY DREW STEARNS
Larry, I'm live at the scene despite the fact there is nothing happening here and I could be filing this report from the anchor's desk right beside you.
So until somebody explains why the hell I'm out here, I refuse to go any further. Back to you, Larry.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
Today is a 7
Tell friends you'll see them later; your family needs you now. Don't think so? Nothing planned? Go home straight after work and find out. If they're not happy to see you, ask why. If they are happy, play.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
Today is a 7
People are becoming set in their ways, as if their ideas were concrete. Thus you should wait until another time to try to teach them. Instead, study ways to fix up your place without spending a lot of money.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 21)
Today is a 6
Others are having an argument that you shouldn't jump into. Listen to both sides and wait a while to make up your mind. You'll need to investigate them both to separate out the truth.
CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22)
Today is a 7
HOROSCOPES
Slow down; conditions have changed again. Under these circumstances, you'll be tempted to buy the very best. That's usually good, but not if it means you have to go into debt. Take care. It's not time for that yet.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
Today is a 7
You'll be asked to make a decision soon, but don't worry much about it. All you have to do is stick to your position and nothing will change. The only thing better would be to have the other side see it your way. That's still unlikely.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Today is a 7
it's likely to be another tough day at work. Looks like the client wants changes that threaten to mess up your budget. Let him or her know there will be new costs incurred, and give an estimate. If you don't, you'll wish you had.
Don't take it personally if a friend and a loved one can't see eye to eye. They do have something in common; they're as stubborn as they can be. They both insist they're right, and neither is good at listening.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Today is a 7
Settle down and study the situation in which you find yourself. It could be a comfort level that you can live with for a while. It's kind of tight, though. Better make a few notes about things you're giving up, so you don't forget what they were.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Today is a 7
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Today is a 7
More problems introducing new ideas into the system. There's always an awkward learning curve,but this one seems to last forever.Don't launch any big projects until you're sure you have a solid base.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN.19)
Today is a 7
Should you spend or save to ease your financial burden? There are things you'd like to buy, but your savings accounts are neglected. You don't want to invest in something that won't be here tomorrow, but there are other ways.Do more research.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Today is a 7
Competition makes you keener, keeps you on your toes. A little goes a long way in your book, however Be patient with one who doesn't agree with you now,and don't complain. Perhaps you can educate him or her. Give it a try.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
Today is a 7
Anticipate that changes will be required with just about whatever you're doing. This is a test of your patience as well as your imagination. Never fear; you'll do well. You always do. You have magical powers.
