CAPTAIN RIBMAN BY SPRENGELMEYER AND DAVIS
HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (May 12).
Your friends are trying to teach you something that you'd be wise to learn. You may think that you already know it, but practicing with a team helps. If you really apply yourself this year, you can advance to a whole new level. The exam comes when you realize the lessons are costing too much.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 5. What things are really worth fighting for? Which things can be left behind? You're approaching a moment of truth. Reassess your priorities in light of new developments.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is an 8. Imaginative friends need you to keep them from getting too crazy. You add a touch of reality to their otherwise outrageous schemes, and they give you lots of new things to think about. It's a fair trade.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 6. There will be a test.
Do you have all the facts and the figures? If not, better hustle. This might be the only warning you'll get. Be prepared.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is an 8. The urge to travel will strike soon, but the outcome doesn't look good. There are indications that if you run off now, it would strain a relationship. Why don't you wait and go together? That'll be much more fun.
Leo (July 23-Aug.22)
Virgo (Aug.23-Sept.22)
Today is a 6. After you've decided what to do next, you need to determine the costs. Don't fall for the most expensive price. You can come up with a thrifty alternative and win everybody's admiration.
Today is a 7. It's almost time for another meeting to discuss what you've done so far. If you're worried that you won't be ready, maybe it's time you asked for help. If you let people in on what you're doing, they become part of your team.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 27)
Today is a 7. The planning phase should almost be over by now. Get your materials and start making changes. The next few days will be perfect for innovation.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 7. Love isn't always about hearts and flowers. Sometimes it's about being there for a friend who's in pain. Sometimes it's about saying no to a child who could make a mistake. Be on the lookout.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 2)
Today is a 6. Take a break. Relax and think things over. This is how you let your subconscious chew on and digest the problem. Actually, some fine cuisine would be good for your attitude. Indulge.
TODAY'S PUZZLE
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19)
Today is an 8. You race about at a hectic pace a lot of the time. How long has it been since you curled up with a good book? For an even better effect, read it out loud to someone you love, but not during work hours.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
Today is a 6. Money is often a controversial subject, especially with folks who make purchasing decisions together and use the same checkbook. Approach financial topics gently.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is an 8. Did you know that Pisces is the sign of miracles? In case you forgot, here's a reminder: You're not in the game by yourself. You have help.
