Figure out how much you have. Odds are good it's more than you thought. Don't forget to figure in all those electronic transfers and finance charges. Look for checks you forgot to deposit. 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. ENTERTAINMENT ARIES (March 21-April 19) Today is a 7 today is a **a** A playful competition keeps you on your toes. Don't let this charmer win the argument, unless you want to lose. You have a good point, so make sure it's well understood. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) GEMINI (May 21-June 21) One of the most important parts of your job is knowing when to stop. Don't get so enthralled with what you're doing that you forget. You don't get extra points for overdoing it. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Today is a 7 A work-related problem is solved early. After that, you'll find it's much easier to relax. Don't bring up the topic of money, however, it's too hot. Save that for later. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Review your recent successes and failures objectively. Take plenty of time to think it over. Give yourself a point for everything you did that worked, and every correction you've made. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The money's coming in, and going out almost as fast. Your assignment, if you're up for the challenge, is to find more ways to cut costs. Start by editing your shopping list, ruthlessly. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is 7 You're always good with words, but don't chatter on and on. It's particularly important to listen now instead of talking. Let a friend unload, and be interested. That's a gift you can freely give. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You get a lot of your information through friends and associates. Double-check the rumors you hear now, however. They're apt to be inaccurate. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 7 Your friends think the world of you. They'd do anything you ask. Don't let them spend too much of your money, though. That always causes tension. Don't stress about a decision once you've made it, move ahead. There are plenty of other things to keep you occupied. If nothing else, hanging out with your friends is better than worrying. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 7 AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 7 You and your friends pretty much agree on all the important topics. It's always good to listen to the other side, however. They might come up with an idea you'll find useful. It could happen. Get into a job you've done a million times before. The routine will make it easy, and you can get a little bit ahead. This will be good, so you can maybe even quit early. Earn some extra time off.
