STAR SIGNS A DAILY CROSSWORD ACROSS

[Pages:1]STAR SIGNS

MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 2016

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It isn't necessary to tear apart the road to get out of a rut. You may be overcome by excitement with the prospect of something new. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take compliments with a grain of salt. It will pay off in the long run to be an independent thinker and to be realistic about your status in the business world. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Develop a delightful and daring dialogue. There may be more fantasy than fact in the ideas that are discussed, but they may unleash creative ideas and a more fulfilling future. CANCER (June 21-July 22): The true measure of intelligence is not necessarily how much you know. It is instead a matter of how willing you are to search for, find, and use the knowledge that is at your fingertips. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If money is concerned you can use your best judgment. This might be a good day to gather information in preparation for a major purchase. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Reach into the world for wisdom. You can obtain good advice today. Don't waste energy pussy footing around issues or wallowing in worry. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Be willing to meet new people but don't hook up with a new romantic partner on a whim. Dwelling on what might have been and wishful thinking can be contrary to your interests. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Absorb positive energy. Being inspired by others is instrumental to your success. Practice saying mantras and affirmations that maintain your buoyancy and optimism. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Diligently search for ways to reap benefits without ignoring potential pitfalls. Rather than acting on your moneymaking ideas now you would do better to gather data. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The ends don't always justify the means. You may be overly ambitious or persuaded to use drastic tactics to earn your pennies. Focus on upholding high principles. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Sincere overtures can get you out of a jam or into a better position for future negotiations. Set the stage so that you can wheel and deal. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Sincerity and honesty is as plain to see as the Eiffel Tower. You will recognize the truth when you hear it even if it is veiled in nuance.

IF AUGUST 22 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Sports or any other competitive activity will bring a smile to your face as the next three to four weeks unfold. You are at your best in October whenever you tackle ideas and plans from a business standpoint, using a storehouse of accumulated street smarts and common sense. Early November might be a great time to escape on an exotic vacation.
