ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19). The smart ones you know recognized long ago that they couldn’t change you even if they tried. However strong- willed you are, you’re not entirely inflexible. You will do what you can to adapt to the needs of your loved ones.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20). Do what’s right, even if it’s hard. What’s good for you may not be the most appealing choice. Sort out situations reasonably, and don’t be led or even swayed in the slightest by your appetites.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 21). You may not feel obligated to anyone, but it only takes a hint of a reminder for you to realize that you are. Perhaps you signed a contract or made a promise. You’ll proudly fulfill your obligation.
CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22). You’ve sometimes been the kind of friend who asked for little and gave a lot. You usually don’t mind being the more generous one; you can always be proud of your contribution. But for now, seek a more equitable arrangement.
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN STAN LEE & LARRY LIEBER TANK MCNAMARA JEFF MILLAR & BILL HINDS
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22). You cannot assume that what is good for you is good for another person, even if that person is very much like you or closely related. Before you make a decision that affects another, really put yourself in his or her shoes.
WATCH YOUR HEAD CORY THOMAS
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22). You expect a lot of yourself, and you’ll also be extremely pleased at what you can do. Holding another person to this same expectation, however, will bring disappointment. Happiness is self-reliance.
PRICKLY CITY SCOTT STANTIS
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23). Impulsive moves will work out fine in the end, but you’re better off thinking things through from the start. Thinking ahead helps you economize both time and money.
BABY BLUES NON SEQUITUR WILEY RICK KIRKMAN & JERRY SCOTT
SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 21). Those who try to direct you will be reminded that it is not such an easy thing to do, unless you were already headed in that direction. Your independence is legendary. You, quite simply, take care of yourself.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21). You’re friendly for the sake of being congenial. You don’t smile because you want or need something from others. Not everyone is like you, though. You’ll be wise to give a thought as to their motives.
ON THE FASTRACK BIG NATE LINCOLN PEIRCE BILL HOLBROOK
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19). You’ll feel mature next to some of your peers. It’s not that you’re entirely jaded. But what others consider romantic, you find silly, false and misleading. You’d rather be spared the melodrama.
PEARLS BEFORE SWINE BEETLE BAILEY MORT, BRIAN & GREG WALKER STEPHAN PASTIS
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18). If you can’t seem to find a moment to yourself, it’s probably because everyone thinks you’re the life of the party. You’ll draw them in with your instinct for fun, and they don’t want to leave your side.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20). A rush of feeling will come over you. Why try to stop it? That seems futile to you. Your heart will speak, and you will follow.

BIRTHDAY | SEPT. 16 HOROSCOPE
All will be impressed with the potency of your creative drive. You will transform
ordinary resources into objects and systems of extraordinary beauty. The best part is that your work is also useful to those around you. October brings a mentor and a financial backer. December builds the bonds of love and friendship. Gemini and Pisces people adore you.
