DJANGEO BY STEPHEN ROWE
OROSCOPES
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Hurrying can be an addiction. But there is a cure. Prioritize people before tasks. Truly there is little that you need to do that is more important than caring for those around you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Even the most solid things you know can drift from time to time. Continental plates have a way of colliding. Consider putting your faith in something that is not so solid -- something you can’t see at all.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A lot has happened in your personal life over the last few months, and you still don’t know exactly what to think of it, but you definitely do know how you feel. Respond to those emotions and all else falls into place.
THE ADVENTURES OF THE AMAZING <THE> A-MAN BY EMILIO ESTEBAN
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your mouth is an inventor. You’ll cause a thrill with what you say. You always could tell a good story. Just be sure people know, sooner rather than later, that you’re having fun with fiction.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll note the level of discomfort you feel around certain people. Maybe this is a good thing. If you’re very comfortable running with the wolves, there’s a good chance that you’re a wolf, too.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). To save the best for last is an amateur move at this point. The one who saves the best for last is often too full of mediocrity to really enjoy a sublime experience.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Give some thought to your preferences. If you do as you would prefer, instead of jumping to the social calling of the moment, you’ll go to bed with a contented smile on your face.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll use silence effectively. You’ll use it to calm down, or to make a point. You’ll use it to convey your love, anger, reverence, annoyance or tenderness.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Be skeptical of aggressive agendas. Trying to change too much too fast causes a loss of control. In a healthy environment, there is a steady and predictable growth pattern.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Even though you often serve those you love, loving someone and serving them is not the same thing. You’d do well to pull back. There’s a point in which you’re better off letting them serve themselves.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes you are the buffer between those two strong-willed people you know. Other times, you’re the prize they fight for. When they compete for you, run!
SOLE SURVIVOR BY MICHAEL GILBERTSON
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 20). You’ll love how your life entwines with another. You and a partner will be so connected in February, you’ll experience telepathy. The professional worries you’ve had are solved with training and extra hours of focus in March. You’ll start a special fund and use it to better your lifestyle in June. October is best for travel. Aries and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 49, 14, 3 and 7.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Trust yourself. Sure, you haven’t always done what you wanted to do. But there are more chances. If you can start, you can start over. If you can finish one project, you can finish another.
