DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

By Holiday Mathis problem is quite circular in nature. The beginning leads back to itself. A total change of scenery will help you get into just the mindset to break the chain. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are becoming savvier about how you use your energy. What you think and talk about certainly has merit, though it’s what you actually do that is really important. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The first thing you thought of this morning was a strong indicator of your current mindset. Was it a problem in imminent need of resolution, or a project or relationship you can’t wait to get started on? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your sign mate John Donne was a poet, preacher and metaphysician who stated, “No man is an island, entire of itself.” You’ll live by the creed, sharing your knowledge and resources and asking for help, too. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It may take a while for you to clear your working space -- things have gotten a little out of hand, you must admit. After the filing, cleaning and organizing, you can get down to business. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 12). Because you are so honest, good things happen to you this year. It takes courage to speak your heart, and people will open up to you as you do. A long-distance excursion brings money in March. May brings healing. There’s a celebration of love in June. In July, you’ll discover a talent you didn’t know you had. Pisces and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 22, 39 and 15.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s one thing to face a certain direction and gaze longingly at the horizon. Reaching that horizon is quite another thing. It takes action -- consistent action. Keep moving and you will arrive. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s time to measure your results. If this seems extreme or inconvenient, it very well may be so. Nevertheless, it’s worth the hassle. What gets measured gets done. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). By doing what comes naturally, you make yourself and everyone around you very happy. You will succeed at something you enjoy, and you will make it look easy -- because it is easy for you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will brilliantly bring together items, ideas and people that seem dissimilar. Your powers of assembly are impressive, especially to a Virgo or Pisces. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The one who remembers you fondly also wants to visit you. Are you ready for such an encounter? Your feelings about this indicate your satisfaction with life thus far. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Block interruptions so that you can concentrate on what really matters to you. Your actions will train those around you to give you the gift of space and silence when you need it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Because you love someone, you’ll listen to information that wouldn’t normally qualify as “interesting” to you. You’ll even act like you enjoy hearing about it -- that’s how giving you are. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your
