DARRIN BELL
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20).
Perhaps you don’t need a fan- cy title or additional letters after your name. All you need is to know what to do. Then you will get the job done. Credentials are irrelevant.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 21).
Ward against personality in- vaders. Don’t let anyone else define who you are. Resist those who are obviously try- ing to influence you. Let your natural attractions guide you.
CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22).
You will take the time to understand and appreciate another person’s way of thinking. This is as much a testament of your affection as is giving flowers or saying “I love you.”
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
STAN LEE & LARRY LIEBER
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22).
Your plans cannot be carried out alone. There are two oth- er important players on the team. Take measures to build the morale of these people, and make sure that the com- munication lines among the three of you are open.
TANK MCNAMARA
JEFF MILLAR & BILL HINDS
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22).
You’ll be assembling a group. Too many formalities will put people on edge. Take away a few of the rules. Encourage people to be themselves. Stripped of pretense, this will be a fun crew.
WATCH YOUR HEAD
CORY THOMAS
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23).
Your input is needed. The others may not follow your advice immediately, but you should go on the record with an opinion just the same. Your influence will be important.
PRICKLY CITY
SCOTT STANTIS
SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 21).
Jealousy comes from a fear of losing someone. Certain people might be flattered by jealousy, but it’s far more magnetic to stand confident in what you have to offer. Believe in your powers of attraction.
BABY BLUES NON SEQUITUR
WILEY RICK KIRKMAN & JERRY SCOTT
SAGITTARIUS
(NOV. 22-DEC. 21).
You don’t have to wear a power suit to have power. Your easygoing style will help you deliver important messages with casual grace. People let down their guard and listen to what you have to say.
ON THE FASTRACK BIG NATE
LINCOLN PEIRCE BILL HOLBROOK
CAPRICORN
(DEC. 22-JAN. 19).
Look up the meaning of words so that you can com- municate precisely. Remem- ber that communication is just as much about hearing and understanding as it is about speaking.
PEARLS BEFORE SWINE BEETLE BAILEY
MORT, BRIAN & GREG WALKER STEPHAN PASTIS
AQUARIUS
(JAN. 20-FEB. 18).
After recent unusual events, you will enjoy getting back to so-called “normal.” Of course, for you, the word “normal” does not describe a static state, as your life pat- terns fluctuate all the time. Stay flexible.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20).
You do not need the approval of a higher-up in order to go through with your plans. However, getting said ap- proval will benefit you down the line. Think carefully about how you will present your case.
