Horoscopes

By Linda C. Black | December 3, 1993

Aries (March 21-April 19). You may notice that time is running out on a job you promised. If you really scramble, you may be able to get a whole day's work done in four hours. Avoid a secret affair. It'll end up costing you more than it's worth. Tell the truth to your partner instead.

Taurus (April 20-May 20). Don't even discuss anything serious until afternoon. Other people might be willing to gamble in the morning. Only bet on a sure thing. If work's required, it's probably safe. Tonight, an old romantic partnership will feel new. Plan something special.

Gemini (May 21-June 21). Watch where you put your purse or wallet, and don't go over the line with your credit cards, either. A penny saved is a penny earned! If you get to talking with a friend on the job, trouble may follow. A coworker might tattle to the boss.

Cancer (June 22-July 22). A disagreement will be more annoying this morning than tonight. That's because tonight, you'll be winning. Shopping could be complicated during the day, and traffic is probably going to be horrible. Avoid both of the above, if at all possible.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). You could learn something interesting today, from a beautiful person. If you see one, follow it around and ask questions. This could develop into a nice friendship, at least. If social plans fall through tonight, a good book could equal a very satisfactory evening.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Business and romance should both go well today, especially if you're working with the one you love. Be careful about spending money, though. don't go for fluff, get something that will last. You'll learn best by watching and listening, so be alert.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Watch out this morning, there could be a quiz. You'll do fine, if you use experience you should have learned by now. If you're tired tonight, you'll relax best in the security of an old-fashioned ritual. Old faces would be fun to have around, too.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Pay back a debt you owe a romantic partner this morning, if you ever want to get another favor from that source. You may also be able to help solve a problem for a friend. Something you've learned the hard way could provide the answer.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You'll probably want to spend more than you can afford this morning. Resist the temptation; you may need the money for something more important soon. If you're competing for a prize, make sure you finish each part of the task completely.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you're planning ahead, as you generally do, schedule your major tasks for this afternoon. You'll probably work merrily far into the night. Don't take a friendly flirt too seriously, though, especially if he or she is in a position of authority.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Make your phone calls early; people will be too busy to talk later. If you need to look up any information, do that early too. Check each bit of data very carefully before you pass it along. In romance, it's time to make up your mind.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). A group discount may not be as good as it seems. Hold onto your money for a better deal. Contact a distant relative or in-law for a good lead regarding selling or trading something you don't need anymore. A visit might be fun, too.
