HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (June 17).
Investments now could make your future secure. May and June are good for weddings and honeymones. In July, you could have a difficult assignment. The key is to cut costs. Extra attention heals a romantic hurt in August. Offer a special gift, too.
Aries (March 21-April 19).
Get your team to stop arguing and work together. They may never agree completely, so don't wait for that to happen. In romance, you hold lots of aces. Don't get too pushy, or you'll lose your advantage. Your sweetheart needs compassion.
Taurus (April 20-May 20).
Although somebody smart might tell you to act, it's wise to go over your options once more. An older person's advice may be less fashionable but more appropriate. A visit with a favorite relative would make good sense tonight.
If you're getting bored, call a long distance friend today. Your friend could motivate you to plan something outrageous, such as a trip across the country! If you want something for home, get the higher quality item. Even if it costs more, you'll save eventually.
Cancer (June 22-July 22).
If you can get your plans worked out this morning, you should be in good shape to move this afternoon. Hold back your secret weapon, or your secret recipe, until the last minute. Sell something you don't like and get an item you need.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22).
Before you get too excited about a new idea, figure out the cost. A toy that will cut your entertainment expenses could be a good investment. Ask knowledgeable friends before you purchase. Also, pay a bill.
Virgo [Aug. 23-Sept. 22].
Concentrate on your job today, especially the part you don't have memorized yet. There could be a few surprises. Your love life should be going well, though. Focus on your dreams and the troubles of the present will dim.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Scorpio (Oct. 24.-Nov. 21).
If you want something nice for your home, work later Not to worry, this is temporary. Sacrifice your time now so you can have the money later. A sensitive co-c worker can teach you a valuable lesson about love.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
If you're thinking of a major purchase, read up on the products first. Don't take a risk with family money. Talk to a sibling tonight who may help you use your old skills to improve your income.
You may throw away something valuable. Keep the good parts. Changes should be made at home.
Unfortunately, the one who changes most may be you! Call an old friend tonight and set up a time to meet again.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
A new machine or procedure could make money for you. Figure out how. If you lack experience, you may have to hire an expert. Your best friend may be in a blue mood. Do something extra nice tonight.
Today, figure out how to bring more money into your account. Ask an imaginative but quiet person for ideas if you run out of them. Don't spread work-related gossip, but do pay attention. Some of it could affect your next assignment.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20).
If you're feeling pressured at work, take a break! Talk to friends you can trust. In love, hold out for what you want. You're in a stronger position than you think. Don't get talked into anything until you're ready.
