The Herald

Tomorrows Horoscope
WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 2012 In the coming months, Taureans as a whole could be extremely fortunate in most endeavors they initiate and/or control. Problems could arise, however, if you allow others to talk you out of your way of doing things. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You?ll be surprised by your comprehension of the old saying: We learn by teaching. Let others be the instructors, for a change. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you discover that others are ready and willing to help you, drop everything and take them up on their offer. Chances are it?ll be a golden opportunity. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It isn?t likely you?ll find a better day to confront an individual about a prickly issue that needs resolution. By taking advantage of opportune timing, beneficial results can be achieved. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Utilize your strong feelings of ambition and motivation to take care of several large-scale objectives. It?s the strong desire to succeed that powers the engine of success. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you put your best foot forward, certain people with whom you?ll be in contact socially will happily agree to play some important roles in your present activities. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Because no one knows your needs better than you, it will be up to you to orchestrate what measures should be taken to enhance your overall material security. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- For reasons you may not fully understand, your influence over your peers could be very powerful at this point in time. Keep your comments as constructive as possible. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Although it generally isn?t advisable, in your case it?s OK to involve people with whom you share a close personal relationship in your business ventures. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You should finally be able to come up with a way to circumvent an obstacle in your path. Be ready, because it will require a surge of activity on your part. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -It could be vital to keep your ideas and intentions confined only to those who are directly involved in an important endeavor on which you?re working. Secrecy is a must. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Be open-minded to a new way of doing something that might be superior to your present method. Be flexible in mind and keep your options open, and youll come out ahead. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Although each might require a bit of effort, several important objectives can be attained. Don?t hesitate to go all out in order to achieve what you want.

Neither parent is fit to raise them. Are Kristins parents providing a stable home life? Can you spend more time with the children, taking them out on weekends? Your goal should not be to provide Travis with a better marriage. It should be to help care for those children so they can grow up to be more mature than their parents. Dear Annie: My sister and I are estranged. Our father is in his 80s, and although I have no need to be friends with my sister, I would like us to be able to sit in the same room together for my fathers sake.
