Seth Bundy/KANSAN SLICK RICK IS THE ISH ▼ HOROSCOPES ARIES (March 21-April 19) *** You might mean rocking and rolling as it should, but it isn't. At the last minute, a creative venture or a relationship could take an unusual twist. Keep money on a light leash. Tonight. Get some extra well. Brian Holland/KANSAN HOROSCOPES The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-sec; 1-Difficult TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★★ A friend means well and does everything he or she can make your path easier and more effective. You are coming from a solid place, though you might feel a bit nagative. Delegate and have others chip in. Tonight: The action is. GEMINI [May 21-June 20] **★** Take the lead in an important matter that means a lot to you. Someone you thought would act or do something could surprise you and do the opposite. Staying on top of your routine and must-dos will take talent. Tonight. Not every moment is perfect. CANCER (June 21-July 22) ***** What might appear to be inconsistent could have logic behind it. Remain positive rather than blame others. Adding pressure to a touchy situation could aggravate others. Chill out and add positive vibes. Tonight: Detach rather than get into the story. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ***** You might want to take your time rather than plunge into difficult situations. Pressure builds because others, and perhaps even you, have expectations that might be unfully hard to meet. An associate might be able to clear the path more easily. Tonight. Say yes to a loved one. VIRIG (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) ***** Others have the ball in their court. You might not be thrilled with everything that heads in your direction. None of what occurs will be a problem if you don't let it become one. You might feel like you have too many iron in the fire. And you do! Tonight. Say yes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ Others might act strangely. If you allow yourself, you could become overly upset and tense. Don't Emphasize what you can do as opposed to what you cannot. Don't think a situation will last forever. Fortunately, everything changes. Tonight: Head home early. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ***** You come up with ingenuous solutions that encourage others to step back. Others know you have a good mind. Pressure builds around a must appearance. Your view will change radically if you observe at the same time as you instigate. Tonight: Add more play into your life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) *★★* Come from your inner knowledge and consciousness. How you handle a changeable situation reflects who you are. Don't try too hard to patch up a event. Events will work themselves out. Tonight. Order in. CAPIRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ Keep your lines of communication open if you want to toss your hands in the air and run away. You might see someone from a different perspective because of what goes down in the next few days. Tonight Swap jokes and let go of a hard deck. AUGURIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) *★★* Expenses reach a new high, forcing your hand and encouraging you to head in a new direction. You will have to say no to others, as much as you might not want to. Partners and associates act remote. Trust that they are going through changes. Tonight: Update your budget. *PISES (Feb. 19-March 20) ***** You hit dead ends, but can and will deal with information that floats up. You might feel like a boss is contrary. People are contrary in general right now. Don't take comments or events personally. Be a positive buffer. Tonight. Do what you want.
