Don't fall for any big talk in business or romance. Guard yourrepu- tation and behave very ethically. You are in danger of lapsing into a bad habit you-quit years ago. Your willpower will pull you through' this troubled time. Leo (July 24- August 23) An old family friend shocks you when they confess they have the hots for you. Be careful who you share a secret with - it could come back to haunt you. This is a good time to give a loved one the atten- tion they crave - what about a surprise evening out and a thoughtful card and gift? Virgo (August 24 - September 23) Your romantic relationship is developing into an ongoing melo- drama - you have to lighten uporcall it quits. You worry too much about what other people think - forget about them! You desperately want to be liked by everyone, perhaps you are trying too hard. Libra (September 24 - October 23) Love doesn't come easy to you because you tend to be rigid and demanding. Thaw out a little and things will improve. Everyone knows you are a workaholic, but don't love your job so much that your private life goes down the drain. Schedule the weekend for fun and games with people who make you laugh. Scorpio (October 24 - November 22) Don't listen to a well-meaning friend's advice concerning your love life. Listen only to what your heart says. Getting involved with a close friend could prove more trouble than it is worth. Be careful with investments, and always read the fine print before signing agreements. ~Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21) Celebrate good news - and get rid of any negative thoughts. Inject more smiles and jokes into a relationship that has become overly' tense these past few weeks. Plan a trip away from college. Step up your personal fitness program over the weekend. Capricorn (December 22 - January 20) Do not let a partner force you into making a decision that you will live to regret. Weekends have been dull for you lately but this is an ideal time to relieve the monotony by playing host to a fun-filled get-together. written by : Shannon M. Hess and Emily L. Wilson
