Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol

HI AND LOIS

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 2014 This will be a year of growth and creativity. You will find innovative ways to display your talents. Although there are some who will try to influence you to take a different path, believing in yourself and your abilities will be the key element to your success. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Youll face discord at home if you arent mindful of others. Now is not the time to make changes to your living space. An old debt will be settled in your favor. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be feeling emotionally down. If you take part in a cause you believe in, you will make new friends and infuse some life into your current situation. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Stay in touch with people who have something to offer you. Refuse to become involved in questionable activities. Someone may be trying to take advantage of your trusting nature. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Dont be lured into sharing your personal information. You will be sorry if you reveal too much to someone unreliable. Surround yourself with positive people who value your worth. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Dont let worry and self-doubt get to you. Connecting with friends or becoming involved with a publicspirited organization will provide you with some positive energy. Forward thinking will pay off. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Consider making a lifestyle change. Base your actions on the way you feel and the goals you have set. Trying to impress others with your new behavior will backfire. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be drawn into a troublesome situation. Pay attention to your gut feelings, and put an end to a questionable partnership. Your reputation could be at stake. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Dealing with your peers or family members will be problematic today. Stay away from trivial disagreements. Your time will be better spent participating in worthwhile pursuits. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- New opportunities will allow you to use your talents and skills more diversely. Make decisions based on your needs, not on what someone else wants. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- A personal situation needs to be resolved before you can move ahead. Do a detailed analysis of your financial status and consider what options will be most lucrative. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be aware of the opportunities that surround you. An unusual offer has the potential to turn into a profitable endeavor. Keep an open mind and share your thoughts. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Your money matters need a critical evaluation. Get together with your financial adviser and determine how you can increase your savings. It may be necessary to make changes to your lifestyle. DISTRIBUTED BY UNIVERSAL UCLICK FOR UFS
