GUYANA CHRONICLE Monday June 16, 2014
Aries For as long as you can remember, the word ‘no’ has had a strange, but not entirely negative, effect on you. When spoken in a certain tone of voice, it elicits an irresistible impulse to rush right out and do whatever it is you’ve just been warned against doing. Try to warn any innocent bystanders against using that word in that particular tone now. It may not work, but it will make reconciling with your conscience tomorrow a lot easier. Taurus Change in general has never been at the top of your buddy list -- in fact, nothing pushes your buttons faster than seeing your carefully laid plans derailed. Things might feel frustrating today, because the universe has arranged for plenty of unexpected events to appear on today’s agenda. Forewarned is forearmed, though, so now that you know what’s coming, just try not to become too attached to plan A. Have plan B ready, just in case. Gemini You’ve never understood it when your people refuse to try new things. Even if you give something a shot and it doesn’t work out, you still feel that it’s still better than being bored. That attitude is about to come in handy, thanks to an interesting new friend who brings an opportunity to broaden your horizons. If your passport isn’t current, you may want to take care of that! You may end up with an invitation to travel.
Dead: Mustak Alli

related that she was at home when she heard the news. She said she had last seen him alive on Saturday night, when he left for work in Good Hope, three villages away. She recalled that he left home at approximately 16:00 hours on his pedal cycle. She said he had been all excited about Father’s Day, and had insisted that his three biological adult children and the 11-yearold he and his wife had adopted when the child was only eleven days old be at his home on Father’s Day. Indira said that her husband had been heading home to assist her with the cooking for Father’s Day. This is the second time that the family has lost a loved one to a road accident. In 2013, Mustak Alli’s brother was killed in a hit-and-run accident involving a Canadian citizen, who was acquitted after the police had failed to prepare a proper file. That accident also occurred on the East Coast Demerara Public Road. The police reported yesterday that they were able to tow into the police station an abandon car which was suspected to be involved in the accident. This publication was later informed that the owner of the car was not the one driving it at the time, but both the owner and the purported driver, an Annandale resident, were taken into custody. It was not clear up to press time last evening whether the vehicle remained impounded as well. (Leroy Smith)
That certain someone you’ve been spending a lot of your time with lately seems to be interested in a lot more than just being friends, and you’re not arguing. You’ve definitely had your share of up and down relationships, but you sense something different about this one. The real test, of course, is to see if you can spend time together comfortably without feeling the need to keep talking and talking. Leo You’re already charming enough to require supervision under certain circumstances, and you’re even more irresistible when you set your mind on something -- or someone. It’s going to take all that charm and more to get through today with your sweetie, since the universe isn’t especially cooperative when it comes to helping you plan romance. Don’t count on those plans you made, or on your companion being very accommodating. Virgo Your dependable nature makes you a big fan of routine and regularity. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to count on that -- or much of anything else, for that matter -right now. The universe has arranged for a perfect storm of unexpected madness to wreak havoc on anything even remotely resembling a schedule. Your best bet is to talk yourself into appreciating the finer points of spontaneity right away, and to force yourself to have a laugh. Libra You’re on the hunt for companions who let you express yourself completely, no matter how unconventional you’re feeling. You’d better find them quickly, too, because if you try to spend much time with the usual suspects, you may need to worry about comments (some quite mean-spirited). Will your behaviour be that extreme? It sure could -- and you’re not really surprised to hear that, are you? You’ve been feeling the need to break out of a rut for some time. Scorpio If you’ve been thinking about doing shaking things up around the house lately, the urge to get started may suddenly become impossible to resist. Before you tear down a wall or drop too much cash, you may want to consider a few things: the time and money you have available, for starters -- and what you’ll do if you don’t stay in this mood long enough to fix that gaping hole in your dining room. It might be wiser to just choose a colour for an accent wall for now. Sagittarius No one is surprised that you’ve got something to say. Thanks to the rather startling array of energies the universe has directed your way, you are ready, willing and able to let it fly. Do yourself a favour: Before you actually begin speaking, think about all possible repercussions of your comments. Do you really want to alienate anyone you come into contact with, or can you settle for just speaking your mind to the one person who deserves it the most? Capricorn When you are out shopping or wandering today, the more unusual your find, the more you’ll absolutely have to call it your own. That goes particularly for arts and crafts, but maybe also for people who happen to possess qualities you’re fond of. Before you get too involved, be sure there is more connecting you than just one shared cause or opinion. Kindred spirits are great to have around, but if you’re after a long-term relationship, there needs to be a bit more to it. Aquarius You’ve never been much good at taking orders unless they’re life-or-death. That goes double for your calendar, which means you often forget birthdays or deliberately ignore some holidays. Still, when you see something you know would bring a smile to the face of your sweetheart, you’ll mortgage the house to get it for them. And when someone you love needs some TLC -- like now, for example -- you’ll treat them so well, they’ll think it’s a holiday. Pisces You’d like nothing better than to charge off after that one special person you’re wildly attracted to, completely forgetting about anyone and anything else. Moreover, your perpetually keen instinct is telling you they’d absolutely adore it if you did. Unfortunately, you’re duty-bound at the moment, and they may be too. Until that changes, hang out, make plans and bide your time. You can do it, but you’ll certainly have your work cut out for you.
