Section A • Page 8 The University Daily Kansan Tuesday, November 14, 2000 HOROSCOPES Today's Birthday (Nov. 14). Set long-range goals. November is perfect for planning; you’re full of ideas. Clean out the well in December so I’ll produce what you need for a long time. You love learning in January; practice new skills then. Don’t travel, though. A setback in February’s tough, but you can get past it. Save time in March for romance. Hustle up new business in April and do it in May. Stash away a fortune in June. A message is more likely to get through in July than you are. Assess your progress in October and make plans for the next phase. Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 4. You need to move carefully. It will be easy to hurt people's feelings and hard to make up. Others have expectations; some you know about and some you don't. Pretend you're walking through a minefield and you should do fine. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is an 8. Some people are having a tough time, but you seem to be above the fray. Your experience and a good partner's help give you a definite advantage. Use it to assist somebody who's quickly becoming overwhelmed. Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 5. Be careful. Stay out of traffic and don't make assumptions. Don't take anybody or anything for granted. Call to remind people of things they said they'd do and places they said they'd be. It's more work for you, but your chances of success will improve. Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 6. A disagreement with a roommate could disrupt your shopping trip. To avoid a confrontation, pay separately for the special items that you want. If you don't get everything talked out tonight, don't worry. Sleep on it. Things will look better in the morning. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 6. Don't get your hopes up too high. That raise you were looking for may not come through for a while. That doesn't mean you won't get it eventually. Be patient and don't let your imagination run wild. Your plans may take a little longer than expected. Today is a 4. You want to be assertive, but it's not a good idea. Others are a little edgy. You don't need to raise your voice. Stifle, and you're more likely to get your point across without ruffling as many feathers. Today is a 4. An older person, a woman most likely, is liable to say something nasty. You want to snap back, but that's not a good idea. Don't tell anybody what you really think, especially this person who's being irritated. This is a test. Today is a 7. You're strong and you have a good team on your side. You have a good partner, too. Don't spend too much money, though. An item you're not familiar with may cost a lot less than advertised. Offer your good advice to a friend who's having troubles. Today is a 3. Something you've been told isn't true. It doesn't matter if the person who told you out-ranks you. Don't gamble, either. Keep your money in your pocket and your opinion to yourself. Check with other sources on that information you're wondering about. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7. You're good at choosing your words. That's the challenge. Rumors spread like wildfire when tensions are high. Pull rank, if necessary, to stay in control. Don't get people upset by telling them something they don't need to know yet. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Aquarius 2014 Oct. 10 Today is a 3. Your fantasy doesn't match reality yet. Your latest innovative idea needs to stay on hold just a little longer. The person who's paying the bills isn't going for it. You won't lose a thing by waiting. Today is a 6. This isn't a good day to travel. The meeting you're planning to attend won't turn out as well as expected, anyway. Can you get a rain check? Somebody you care about would like to tell you a story. It would be nice if you could be there to hear it. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Helen, Sweetheart of the Internet LOS ANGELES — Hollywood has served up enough turkeys for one year. After a so-so year of movies, the industry hits the home stretch with one of the most promising slates of holiday films in recent times. Holiday movies expected to revive box office revenues From now through year's end, though, box-office analysts and studio executives expect audiences to crowd cinemas for a stream of big movies. Like the children's book and the 1960s TV cartoon on which it is based, the movie has charms that will appeal to young and old. This year has produced solid hits, but movie attendance is down and the box office is only now recovering from a midsummer drought. The Associated Press Meet the Parents and Charlie's Angels helped prime things, and the holiday movie season begins in earnest this weekend as Jim Carrey visits Whoville, the Rugrats visit Paris and Arnold Schwarzenegger visits a cloning clinic and busts up the joint. "Everybody, even as early as late last year, we were looking at this "It evolved pretty naturally out of the spirit of Dr. Seuss," said Grinch director Ron Howard "The reason his stuff endures so well is it's smart and it's funny. It doesn't really talk down to kids, and, therefore, adults see a lot of wit and ideas and comedy in it." The Grinch has built up a psychological "callus against all the people who shunned him." Carrey said at the movie's premiere. "Cindy Lou comes along like some sort of emotional pedicure and scrapes him down to the nerve." November and saying this is going to be an incredible month, and even the whole holiday season in general," said Robert Bucksbaum, who tracks the box office for Reel Source Inc. "From now until basically the end of the year, we're going to have one hit after another."
