DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your goals are lofty. You’ll wonder why you had to choose such a difficult road for yourself. It’s because deep inside you realize that if you have to work hard for something, you’ll enjoy it more. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be negotiating. Start by asking for what you know is too much to ask. You’ll ultimately accept less, and the other person will feel he is getting a fantastic deal. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Before you let yourself get worked up over a situation, remember that you carry your emotions on an atomic level. That is to say that every atom of every cell is encoded with the feeling. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Friendship is the foundation of every relationship, and you are good at making friends. Today you will become very interested in someone’s life, and that person will be interested in you, too. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re still getting to know someone. Find some small way to test this person’s loyalty before you invest too much in the relationship. You’ll probably be delighted by what you learn, but better to be on the safe side. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 19). Your tenacity will pay off. The past sacrifices you’ve made will net you a big reward this year. Over the next three weeks, you will gain the respect of friends who are honest and true. June brings tremendous luck for business. You’ll finally let yourself be adored and taken care of in August. Travel is best in May. Capricorn and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 11, 20, 38 and 45.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Friends may lean on you emotionally in a way that feels uncomfortable to you. It’s only because you care and want to help so much. Know that just listening will be enough for today. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re not a saint. You’ll revel in your human nature, and it will be a positive thing for you. You have something in common with each person you meet, which brings you great comfort and enjoyment today. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s not so much about who you are and what you look like today. It’s how you behave when engaging others that matters most. People will appreciate you because you make them feel valued. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have strong feelings for someone, but it is not wise to make this person your whole world. The more well-rounded you are the better you’ll be able to handle life’s challenges. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will take a break from all the wanting and striving. You are grateful for what you have and will not take it for granted. Because of this, you can count yourself among the truly happy people. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There is an element of uncertainty in a relationship. You cannot be sure that the other person will always be into you. However, you go forward anyhow, and somehow the doubt only adds to the passion you feel. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You understand the personalities and preferences of those around you, and you can use this knowledge to your advantage. You know how to please others and also how to influence them.
