Max Kreutzer/KANSAN ON THE FLY Matthew C. Sevcik/KANSAN ▼ SQUIRREL Wes Benson/KANSAN HOROSCOPES THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 5A ARES (March 21-April 19) ****** Are you sniffing big changes in the wind? For good reason: Today your ruling planet changes signs. You feel renewed and less burdened by money matters. Others pick up on the new energy that emanates from you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) *** Some of your strong and sometimes combustible energy waves goodbye for a while. You might need to be more concerned about the practical elements of your life, OK? Remember not to get too far off track. CANCER (June 21- July 22) ****** You know what works, yet you might need to think and regroup before you involve others. Watch for a self-destructive streak in the next few weeks. Take good care of your health, starting this very moment. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ****** Suddenly, you are the magnetic high- energy Twain that you like. You feel as if you are in your skin. You enter a special phase that will last the next few months. Projects initiated after the morning could be a huge success. Go for it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ***** You have been working on taking in the big picture for several months. In the next few weeks, the time will come to act on what you know. No excuse will work anymore. Actions speak. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ***** Problems with someone in charge could start evaporating in the next few weeks. What a blessed relief! You will be in a position to explore what you want and to get just that. Communication flourishes. Count on it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ****** You are the cat's meow, or would you prefer to say "top dog?" Keep this in mind, and you'll get way ahead. Your personality melts boundaries, making everyone much happier. You will gain a greater understanding of those you care about. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) **** Follow your instincts, especially with someone who might have a great deal of influence on your life. You might like what is going on. Think positively about someone who might be rather bellicose. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ***** Others might become shockingly blunt later today, setting the trend for the next few months. You might want to rethink a personal matter. You're likely to get what you want if you stay on target. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ***** Knowing when to bail out could be more important than you realize. Sometimes others could push you to your limit. Suddenly, you will find yourself careless and possibly accident-prone. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ***** Split as soon you can; you need the break! You think that someone understands more than they do. Let go and relax. "Detachment" is your key word for the day. Let ingenuity fill in the gaps. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ Laugh and relax. You will be a lot happier than you think if you simply don't push. Look within for answers, and you will gain. Perhps you need to work with a key individual more carefully.
