The Herald

Tomorrows Horoscope
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 2012 Conditions in general look to be rather hopeful for you in the year ahead. Thus, if and when you should get into a fraught situation, know that Lady Luck is likely to be there, bringing help just in the nick of time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It behooves you to follow your instincts when it comes to your business dealings. If nothing more, use these perceptions as support for your logical assessments. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Make it a point to take some of the slack out of a fading friendship that you havent had much time for lately. There are few things more valuable than good chums. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- The race is likely to be won by the smartest, not necessarily the swiftest, when it comes to a career matter. Be sure to use that thinking cap of yours, so you dont trip over your own feet. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If youre alert, you have a good chance of learning something extremely important from a good friend. However, whats said should be restricted to the parties involved. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your determination in pursuing your objectives is impressive, but equally important is that others recognize your intentions and make it a point to get out of your way. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -If you believe it is necessary to make a difficult decision that everyone else is putting off, have the courage to stick to your guns and do so. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- This is likely to be the day when you promised yourself youd embark on carefully laid out plans. If you know each step you must take, there isnt any reason why you shouldnt succeed. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- By staying in the middle at all times, youll fare much better in your dealings with friends. If youre smart, you wont let it be known which side you really think is right. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Spare yourself from calling in an expensive repairman by exercising preventive maintenance. If you play it safe, you wont be sorry. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Be sure to include an extremely introverted, shy friend in your plans. If the invitation doesnt come from you, it isnt likely to be issued at all, because no one else will think of it. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -The entire clan is likely to profit when the shopping duties are put in your hands. Your caring nature makes you very attentive to everyones needs and wants. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -You should take advantage of the opportunity to clear the air with a friend when the opportunity presents itself. Dont hesitate to talk it out in detail until both parties are satisfied.

Then, when your mother has her next doctors appointment, ask if you can go along. Alert the doctors office in advance, and request a more extensive exam. Dear Annie: My father-inlaw loves going to yard sales and likes to buy sale items for our home and our four sons. The problem is that we have limited space and dont need all this junk. The toys tend to have a missing part or be partially broken, and the clothes have stains or holes. My husband wants to simply accept the items because my father-in-law would oth-
