If you're making a deal, expect a temporary breakdown. Indications are that everything works out for the best, but it's not clear if it's a yes or a no. So if the whole thing seems to be slipping through your fingers, let it go.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is an 8.
A dream you and your sweetheart have been working toward seems to drift a little farther away. Not to worry - you'll get there eventually. It'll just take longer than expected. The good news is that you're working well together, and

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19)
Today is an 8.
You may have second thoughts today. That's OK; it never hurts to

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 5.
The money you invest in your work will pay good dividends. Don't wait for your employer to do it for you. Show a little initiative and imagination. You could wind up owing the company.
You're cool and decisive, yet gentle and compassionate. You want the best for others, but you won't sacrifice your own interests to achieve the goal. You don't have to do everything by yourself, either.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is an 8.
Arles (March 21-April 19) - Today's a 4.
You'd better go through your stack of pending work one more time. It's possible you've forgotten about something. Figure out what needs to be done and do it. Don't wait a moment longer.

The great mystery of 1999 in Cleveland
Browns new owner, type of team a well-kept secret
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — They won't be selling tickets to this Brown's game.
Most of the action in the high-stakes contest for ownership of the future Cleveland Browns will play out in private.
The NFL has a contractual commitment to restore pro football to Cleveland in 1999, and construction for a new $242 million stadium begins this year. The league will determine who owns the Browns, but the decision is probably a year away.
The price tag will be high.
Mayor Michael R. White won't reveal who has approached him, saying only that there has been "quite a bit of interest."
Former Brown's owner Art Modell, who moved the team to Baltimore last year, bought the Brown's in 1961 for $4 million. If the NFL makes
Cleveland an expansion franchise, the next owner could spend $400 million or more.
The NFL is holding the Brown's franchise in trust, preparing it for the next owner. Bill Futterer, who heads the trust, said it's too soon to discuss ownership because the league has not decided if another NFL team will move to Cleveland or if it will start an expansion team.
Commissioner Paul Tagliabue favors expansion. Until the question is decided, Futterer is keeping busy.
"We want to make sure we have in place a financial and business entity and that we can turn over the keys of a very solid operation." he said.
But the new Brown's owner also will produce income from advertising packages on stadium video boards and signs, sale of radio rights and
The next owner will be virtually assured of sellouts in the new 70,000-seat stadium. At an average price of $40, ticket sales could produce $28 million.
The league's contract produces about $40 million a team, but an expansion team may not see this for several years. Merchandising produces about $5 million a team.
local TV programs, and the sale of food and souvenirs.
It's a far cry from the simplicity of pro football in 1950, when the Browns under coach Paul Brown joined the NFL.
Brown's son, Mike Brown, who owns and runs the Cincinnati Bengals, said that he would rather see a team move to Cleveland.
"It's better for the league," Brown said. "But I'm just one of 30 owners and, believe me, these guys don't defer to anyone."
Bob Gries, a Cleveland financier who sold his 43-percent share of the Browns rather than be involved in Modell's transfer to Baltimore, said it was premature to discuss his plans.
"There will be no shortage of interested people," he said. "There are some who can do it all by themselves and some who would need a partnership group."
