HI AND LOIS

By Bernice Bede Osol

Your ideas on how to make additional money should not be discounted. More than a few will have potential, but theyll count for nothing if theyre not tried in the coming months. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Youre the one who can awaken enthusiasm in a friend who has been down in the dumps, because your words will carry more weight than you realize. Dont hesitate to speak up. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Once youre certain that you are on solid ground, devote all your efforts to an ambitious project. Work hard and take things one step at a time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You might get an opportunity to teach a friend a valuable skill. However, first be sure that he or she is open to your suggestions. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -To be successful, you wont have to be bolder or stronger than your competitors, just smarter. While most of them are using their muscles, you should be using your head. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Its important to keep an open and receptive mind at all times. Theres a good chance that a colleague could occasionally have better ideas than yours. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be reasonable about the size of the returns you expect for your efforts. What you accomplish might be acknowledged in small ways, but not necessarily on a grand scale. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Because youll know how to put everyone at ease, youll be an asset at any social gathering. Most assuredly, your tactics will make you very popular. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your thoughtfulness toward your family and friends will be apparent. All the little things you do will show them that you really care and have their best interests at heart. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- For whatever reason, youll be especially adept at endeavors that require a creative and imaginative mind. Be sure to utilize your skills to the fullest extent. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Dont be indifferent to the suggestions of others when it comes to your commercial dealings. By the same token, dont discount your own ideas, either. Consider everyone and everything. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It would be best not to employ an intermediary to pass on critical information to associates. If there is something important you need others to hear, communicate it yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Many times, others tips about ways to make money are less than reliable. Today, however, you are likely to receive some inside info that is worthy of exploration. COPYRIGHT 2013 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.
