WONDERWORD

BY LINDA BLACK

Tribune Media Service

To get the advantage, check the day¡¯s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) - 8

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) - 8

Turn off your mind, relax and float

downstream. Steal quiet moments to

prepare for the intense energy ahead.

For the next two days, you¡¯ve got your

work cut out.

A dream may get interrupted. Sift

through the facts until you get all the

data. Lay it all out like a puzzle. Think it

all over, and put together a plan that

excites.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) - 9

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - 7

Your imagination is on fire. Household

chores can wait; search for treasure.

Go ahead and make the pitch, and go

for substance over symbolism. It¡¯s getting busy.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) - 8

Yoga or peaceful exercise rejuvenates

and restores power. Stick with familiar

tasks, people and locations, and enjoy

a homebody phase. Discover what

you¡¯ve been seeking.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) - 8

You¡¯re the life of the party. Your friends

will help you climb the highest mountain; bring them along for the ride.

There¡¯s an unexpected bonus.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - 7

What do you want to be when you

grow up? Keep questioning your role

in society. What would be the most

fun? Go for reality over fantasy,

including dream elements for spice.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - 5

Upgrade your equipment, for greater

efficiency. Practice something you

love to do, and discover entirely new

aspects. Spend when you get the right

deal.

You may want to be adventurous

today, but not with your money.

Surround yourself with people you

trust, and support each other. Serve

treats.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - 8

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - 7

Avoid early distractions and buckle

down with the numbers. You¡¯re entering a lucrative phase, but don¡¯t go on

a spree just yet. Focus on your brilliant ideas.

Finances are on the front burner. Go

over the books again to make sure

your ideas are grounded in reality.

Careful attention to detail pays off

later.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - 8

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) - 7

Get your way without a fuss by

expressing common goals that

inspire. Ignore a pessimist, but move

carefully to avoid error. You¡¯ve got

powerful good luck.

Develop a new passion, or resuscitate

an old one. Build partnership to add

enthusiasm. Travel conditions look

good, and there¡¯s fun ahead. Take

someone along.
