ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Cosmic changes create a potential for disrup-tions in your travel plans. In the meantime, you might want to consider shifting your focus to another area of your life that needs attention.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good time for beauty-loving Bovines to enjoy something special for the senses. It will restore your spirit and return you to the worka-day world ready for the next challenge.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) With your planetary ruler, Mercury, going retro-grade, you might want to slow down the pace in pursuing some of your projects. Rushing things could be counterproductive.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Tensions begin to ease in those once-testy relationships. This helps create a more posi-tive aspect all around. Expect to hear news that could lead you to rethink a recent decision.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) The pace of activity that had slowed last week now begins to pick up. This is good news for Leos and Leonas who have career-building plans that need to be put into operation.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Venus offers encouragement to romance-seek-ing Virgos who are ready to get up, get out and meet more people, one of whom could be that long-sought soul mate.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) An ongoing problem with a co-worker might need to be sent to arbitration. Get all your facts together so that you have a solid base from which to make your argument.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You are usually decisive about most matters. But you might want to defer your decision-mak-ing this week until you get more facts. Someone is holding out on you.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) That quiet period is ending, and a new burst of activity creates some problems at the work-place. But things are soon resolved, and every-thing goes back to normal.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Relationships could be either helpful or hurt-ful as you pursue your career goals. You might have to make some difficult choices depending on what your priorities are.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might still have some doubts about a career move that could involve a lot of travel. If so, con-tinue to check things out until you feel secure about making a decision.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Love rules, as Venus continues to exercise her cosmic influence on both single and attached Pisces. New developments might cause you to change your travel plans.

BORN THIS WEEK: You often think of others before you consider your own needs. You enjoy helping people and would make a fine teacher or caregiver.

Tidbits chatted briefly with BC Lions kicker Paul Mc-Callum this week. Local born kicker is living the dream

with the Lions recent winning streak.Tidbits: Are you excited about playing in the new BC Place stadium?Paul: Everybody is excited to play in the new stadium, the team, staff. Fans should also be excited and should come down and check it out.Tidbits: Why are the Lions playing so much better now?Paul: I think the team just got a little ahead of ourselves early in the season, and decided to get our heads back to the task at hand playing as a team.Tidbits: What is the focus of the team for the rest of the season?Paul: Keep our heads down, keep playing good foot-ball we should do alright.Tidbits: Did not want to jinx Paul and ask him about his current field goal streak :)
