UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Thursday, May 2, 1996 5B Horoscopes By Linda C. Black Today's Birthday (May 2). Finish up old stuff and set goals in May. Buy a loved one an expensive gift in June. Put down roots in August. Work through September and form a partnership in October. Choose carefully; this union will last. Find a treasure in December. Go back to a favorite old place around the first of the year. Make a career decision in February. There's a test in April. Rating System: 10 is the easiest day, 0 is the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 4 — Financial matters need to be handled now. Don't put them off any longer or they'll cost you even more. Be careful if you're taking out a loan. The other guy's advantage is hidden in the fine print. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6 — Jump into an old job this morning and finish it up. You'll get a new burst of energy this afternoon. The competition gets fiercer then, too. Don't worry, you may win through sheer bravado. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 4 — Somebody you've been stalling is starting to get upset. Save your errands for this weekend; you need to concentrate now. This afternoon will be horrible if you don't get an overdue job done this morning Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 10— Your numbers are on the rise again — life's getting easier. An old friend has a serious proposition. If you want a forever commitment, ask for it this evening. Don't let a stranger spoil your plans. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5 — Things grind to a standstill. Consider all your options carefully before proceeding. An older person is pushing for a decision, but you need to make sure your interests are protected. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 10 — You're on a roll. A long-distance call could bring what you need. Take a bold move toward goals you and your sweetheart share this afternoon. Watch out for a bizarre development tonight. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is a 4 — You're not much of a businessperson, but you can learn. Do that. If you aren't wise about your money, you'll lose it to somebody who is. If you need help, ask a trustworthy Taurus. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7 — You're strong today, but the other guy's even stronger. This could be one tough poker hand. Play it close to the vest. You'll be well advised to go along with your partner's decision tonight. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 3 — You're under almost too much pressure. If your sense of humor's wearing thin, you know you're in trouble. Hold out a little while longer. It'll get slightly worse, unfortunately, before it gets better. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 9 — Your friends give you the support you need to turn a tough job not child's play. Get that handled early, so you have plenty of time for love tonight. You and your sweetie need to make a big decision. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5 — You have decisions to make, affecting your home, your career, or both. Choose carefully, but don't procrastinate much longer. Your options diminish soon. Plaesces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 10 — A distant contact is very valuable. Skills you're learning will help you make the right connection. A sibling's or neighbor's expertise helps you push past whatever was in your way. Go for it!
