IN THE MOUNTAINS
Sumter 69/50
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A short trip will offer experience or disclose information about your past. Fixing up your surroundings or making a decision to update your appearance or skills will pay off. Do your best and you will encounter higher returns. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Size up your situation and aim to intensify matters until you get your way. Not everyone will be on your side. Disillusionment must not lead you astray. Get your facts straight and don’t deviate from your plans. Implement physical improvements. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your reluctance to let anyone coerce you into excessive spending or doing something that infringes on your integrity will show your strength, courage and ability to stand tall. Prepare to say “no” and do your own thing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You have options and plenty of opportunities, but nothing will happen if you don’t do your best to make things happen. Don’t let someone else do the work or you will reap few rewards and experience lots of regret.
Today: Mild with times of clouds and sun. Winds southwest 8-16 mph. Monday: Partly sunny with a passing shower. Winds west 7-14 mph.
Aiken 69/50
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t be too quick to offer your services to someone who is unpredictable. You may be taken advantage of if you aren’t persistent about what you want for your input and hard work. Romance will bring you closer to someone special. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Something worthwhile will unfold if you display your intentions and plans. An interesting turn of events will bring about a positive change to your living conditions. Don’t trust someone offering the impossible. Be smart, ask questions and avoid regret. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Be secretive about your future plans. Until you have everything in place, you will risk someone stealing your idea or ruining your chances for success. Ignore manipulative individuals who might be looking for a way to take advantage of you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be busy making all sorts of changes. Get involved in events that will bring you closer to the people you care about, and distance yourself from naysayers. Express your feelings and keep moving.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Expand your ideas and voice your opinion. Improve your skills and you’ll get the assistance required to advance. There is money to be made if you offer a service conducive to home, convenience or improvements.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A change in your financial situation will leave you feeling uncertain. Ask questions if someone close to you has been overspending. Agreeing on a set budget will help clear up future problems that can add stress to your relationship.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Honesty begins within. Make sure you are taking an honest view of a situation. Self-deception will lead to disappointment. Learn from past experiences and listen to good advice. Anger will lead to a no-win situation and a potential loss.
