TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20).
You are usually able to guide a work situation along in your own way and everything falls into place. Right now, there are other factors at play, and this is causing you to experi- ence some resistance. Stay relaxed and powerful.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 21).
Today is a series of games, though perhaps not officially. And yet there is a process to master, a set of rules to adhere to, competition from other players and a juicy prize at the end. You’ll be a strong contender.
CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22).
In some ways you are on your own. This is good. You are powerful enough to make your freedom count. You’ll spend your hours producing something useful, beautiful or both.
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
STAN LEE & LARRY LIEBER
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22).
You want to do something well. This attitude will ap- peal to others who have been masterful. If you are willing to learn, there is someone very skilled who will be willing to teach you. But you must make the first approach.
TANK MCNAMARA
JEFF MILLAR & BILL HINDS
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22).
You will be wrestling tigers today, metaphorically, of course. The strong-willed, turbulent and volatile crea- tures around you will not overcome you. In the end, your gentle persistence will win out.
WATCH YOUR HEAD
CORY THOMAS
PRICKLY CITY
SCOTT STANTIS
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23).
The restless spirit is alive. What was perfectly accept- able yesterday now seems somehow old and tattered. There is a glistening promise on the horizon, and you’re headed toward it.
BABY BLUES NON SEQUITUR
WILEY RICK KIRKMAN & JERRY SCOTT
SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 21).
There are those who plan to manipulate someone into doing their dirty work. Stay alert and aware of your own agenda. Be on guard against a subtle but strong persuasion.
SAGITTARIUS
(NOV. 22-DEC. 21).
No matter how you try to avoid power struggles and issues of territory, there are politics involved in every situation of life. Instead of running from it, learn how to play the game. You might even enjoy it.
ON THE FASTRACK BIG NATE
LINCOLN PEIRCE BILL HOLBROOK
CAPRICORN
(DEC. 22-JAN. 19).
Take a risk. Your best guess is a good one. Bet on it. You’re lucky now, and as you believe in your luck, it com- pounds. Tonight brings the chance for enlightening and fascinating conversation.
PEARLS BEFORE SWINE BEETLE BAILEY
MORT, BRIAN & GREG WALKER STEPHAN PASTIS
AQUARIUS
(JAN. 20-FEB. 18).
You admire someone who never seems to be in a hurry or overburdened. Take measures to make life a little easier for yourself, perhaps by trimming activities from your schedule.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20).
Because we live on a giant sphere, we can never arrive at the horizon. We can see that distant point and travel toward it. But once the land- mark is reached, we look out and see that the horizon is further still.
