STAR SIGNS

This isn’t anideal time to make a new com-mitment or to break away fromsomeone who has been loyal.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your trust in others will be rewardedeven if it is tested. You may be willing to act on faith where afamily member or home-based matter is concerned. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Ac-cept advice and embrace thelatest procedures.

People will agree that you are fair, honest and chari-table even if they do not agree with your opinions.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It takes more than sheer enthu-siasm to make money. Youmight dream of being a moneymagnet and may find it easy toapproach sales prospects. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An unspoken commitment mightget lost in the shuffle. A popu-lar item might tempt you toignore the budget and investmoney on a whim.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.21): The beat goes on. Once you get into a steady rhythm youcan get more accomplished. Your pile of work does notseem to have a bottom.

You have been fair andgenerous in the past and mayreap rewards for a job welldone in the near future. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):Building trust requires the proper tools. You might try totighten a screw with a card-board screwdriver if that is allyou have on hand. IF AUGUST 24 IS YOUR BIRTH-DAY: Let your leadership abili-ties shine during the next threeto four weeks. Rewards mayarrive to brighten your life inthe form of improved condi-tions or a lucrative opportu-nity may be dropped in yourlap. Late September and earlyOctober is a very good time tomake decisions about financial arrangements or business en-deavors. Between mid-October and mid-November you maybecome more interested in ro-mantic and unrealistic fanta-sies. Steer clear of anything thatcould be a wild goose chase.
