EKQUA n I IT r HERTHS I Today's birthday: Your awareness grows exponentially this year, allowing you to seize opportunities you never even saw in years past! Your verve for a hobby helps you turn it into a business. Adventures with one special person are featured in June and July. Your lucky numbers are: 8,4,7, 10 and 30. Aries (March 21 -April 19): What you are drawn toward and what is good for you are two different things, but a balance can be had. Tonight, spontaneity makes life ever so charming. Taurus (April 20-May 20): It's a challenge to keep expectations in the realm of reality. However, something magical will happen if you drop expectations and accept what is. Gemini (May 21-June 21): Your belief in yourself draws others to you. Your personal life improves because you are so tuned in to your desires and motivations. Cancer (June 22-July 22): Stars help along an extremely productive day. You get things done in record time because work goes smoothly, as does travel. Important contacts are made in the social arena. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Sometimes, you forget how original you are. No one has lived his or her life the way you've lived yours. Planets favor you retelling your favorite story. Better yet, write it down. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You're just the person to get others back on track in regard to health. Your loved ones, especially children, need help with their diet. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The planets highlight so many options that you're not sure how to spend your timet If it isn't fun, don't do it. If you have to do it, make it fun. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Most people react to their world instead of designing it. There are hours of crystalline clarity this afternoon. This is your chance to go beyond what most people do and be the cause of your environment. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Though you're an ethical person, playing by the rules and abiding by the tradition isn't your style. Your ingenuity will be accepted. ' Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 1 9): Family is the emotional core of life. Focus on making deposits into everyone's emotional bank account. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There's a sense of urgency regarding your earning ability you'll feel something has to be done, and fast, to bump you into the next level. You're right, and you'll figure it out, too. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Though spiritual fulfillment is really where it's at, maybe it takes dealing with your physical environment to get there. Cleaning and organizing may be your most effective form of mediation today. WHAT THE 5TAFF TOOK BEFORE THE MEETING STARTER www umbto com HONEST, MlZ X GO HOME, OUGHAID, !
