FRANK & ERNEST By Thaves

ARLO & JANIS By Jimmy Johnson

B.C. By Mastroianni & Hart

Traveling, intrigue and exploring what’s new and exciting will help you transition from one lifestyle into another. Start to con-sider what will make you happy and how to use your skills to reach a level or place that brings you peace of mind.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Evaluate where you are in life. Consider your dreams, relationships and prospects. Look into what you need to do to replace what is wearing you down with what will lift you up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may crave change, but before you jump in one direction or another, consider the people close to you and the influence it will have on your current situation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Pour your energy into something you enjoy doing. Know enough to say no to someone trying to take advantage of you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Participation will require finesse, integrity and knowledge. Don’t give in to a force play. If you don’t like what’s happening, move on to something more suitable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Contemplating your next move won’t help you ward off opposition or criticism. Consider what’s possible before you take action.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Refrain from letting emotions overwhelm you or letting someone act irresponsibly. Take dis-ciplined action to calm a situation that can influence the way you live.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Consider a minimalist lifestyle. Getting rid of things you no longer need or use and passing your possessions along will lift stress and any pressure you’ve been feeling.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be careful how you handle your cash. Emotional spending or being manipulated by someone is apparent.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be careful what you reveal to others. Someone will be quick to take advantage of you. Plan to do the work yourself, and concentrate on what matters most. Nurture an important relationship.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you aren’t happy with something, make changes. Get together with people you know are reliable. Reconnecting with some-one from your past will be enlightening.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Plan to rearrange your space. How you set up an area to work in will make a difference to your performance. Whether you want to develop a hobby or start a home-based business, the changes you make will pay off.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Walk away from drama, emotional interference, indulgent behavior or anything else that is dragging you down. Put your energy into planning your future and what you want to do with your time.
