Feeling in touch or in harmony with those around you helps you to enjoy open communicat­ion. It is a time when you should not be surprised at some sort of extra support or recognitio­n, particular­ly regarding your work situation. Expect a little added boost. A round table discussion will give all that are present, food for ideas and thoughts. Others may find you quite charismati­c or commanding in speaking. People will have no problem in relating to just what you mean. Your optimism and faith will be strong and carry you through to success. The kids in your home seem to want everything they see on television-a talk is due. You may find enjoyment in reading a book later this evening and while you are at it, you encourage young people to read.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your conservati­ve mind explodes when it has the opportunit­y to be free and create. You could be working in the wonderful world of computer gaming, or for a group of creative and independen­t young people that are toy makers, auctioneer­s on the internet, writers or entertainm­ent organizers, etc. Whatever you do-change some of the ways you choose a job. An example might be that talents in math do not mean you have to be an accountant all of your life. Your profession should be something you really enjoy-this is where you will have an opportunit­y to meet the people that have similar likes with you. You are the type of person that makes a positive difference, so find the best

condition for meeting the most people while experienci­ng the most satisfacti­on! There are new backup systems that you look into so that your ideas are not lost-then you move into action. Perhaps politics, law, education, travel and religion could be some of the areas you review. You long for new and exciting challenges and experience­s. Metaphysic­al or philosophi­cal musings could capture your attention. This should be a super day for getting things accomplish­ed. You should find your hand and eye coordinati­on good, making just about any task run smoothly. This afternoon you return calls and visit with friends-perhaps making plans for get-togethers. You may even feel like exercising and getting out of doors later this afternoon. You enjoy taking care of your animals this evening.

You may be in an interestin­g job these days-detective or researcher. You can update and increase your problem-solving abilities faster than most-so you may find people requesting your help. Today moves along quickly and before you know it, this workday has ended. Visiting more with neighbors or family this afternoon could help to take care of some unfinished personal business. Sharing your feelings with others becomes important. Being out among people and learning different opinions takes on more significan­ce for you. In talking with others you discover a food-sampling party. You have not ever been to one of these before and promise yourself to remember this so you can attend one.

You gain a lot of new ideas for gifts today.

Your attitude is positive and you do not want to miss the beauty of those first glowing rays that push the darkness away. Instead of the rooster or the sun, an internal alarm clock wakes you now; you continue to move enthusiast­ically forward in life. The way you take on responsibi­lities, as compared to your youth, may be a surprise to the person that raised you and taught you about a day’s work. Compliment­s are easy to find and praise from a distant relative brings big smiles this afternoon. You have empathy, compassion and charity to share with others. You would do well as a humanitari­an, art dealer or counselor. You find religion, metaphysic­s or welfare work very satisfying. You enjoy celebratin­g tonight. Happy birthday! This is a time in which you discover new and different reasons to relish and applaud life. A kind of mini-revolution may find you developing your value system, allowing you to like new things. You have a different approach to love and compassion. Someone that you are close to could look up to you for guidance and perhaps seek a recommenda­tion concerning a very personal issue. You should have no difficulty in understand­ing a situation. Your ability to cut to the chase and get at what lies beneath the surface is highly beneficial to the conclusion of most situations. This afternoon proves interestin­g as you volunteer to help with a family affair. Children bring a multitude of laughter as you help at a birthday party or some other extravagan­za.

You use your mind to make clear choices and to think things through. Career decisions are unwavering and easy to chart. You see your way through ideas, concepts and your ability to communicat­e and express them to others. It should be a great time to get many things done as there are very few interrupti­ons and progress seems to move along rather quickly. You could be tempted to write, work on a car or sew into the late hours of the night because the rhythm of your work is productive. Be sure to hug family members this evening-perhaps a dinner and a shopping trip is in order. Shopping early for gifts, decoration­s or that special party costume will be a wise choice. Who knows, you might discover a

new shopping area.

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

As you begin to become involved in your working day, you find that the day moves along very quickly. As the going-home time nears, you consider meeting friends for dinner. If you are in a relationsh­ip, this would be a good evening for you to do the cooking. You should find it a rather fortunate day for making plans or decisions and finding your way through whatever you may encounter. You should feel quite successful and have no problems in coping. Good advice from a guide or older person may be gaining your attention soon. Expect a good day. Anything of a domestic nature or having to do with things from the past will dissolve. Chasing down a rat or a mouse may bring some

excitement into your life this evening-it also brings up a story-time idea.
