ASTROGRAPH
qfour
^Birthday
Friday, Oct. 1,1999
What you accomplish in the year ahead
might be due in part to the efforts of oth-
ers working on your behalf. Along with
them, you’ll be able to fulfill several ambi-
tious objectives.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) The possibili-
ties for achieving your objectives are
exceptionally good today because Lady
Luck might open a few doors for you.
However, continued success will be
dependent upon you. Get a jump on life
by understanding the influences that’ll
govern you in the year ahead. Send for
your Astro-Graph predictions by mailing
$2 to Astro-Graph, c/o this newspaper,
P.O. Box 1758, Murray Hill Station, New
York, NY 10156. Be sure to state your
Zodiac sign.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Stick to
your target today and don’t get blown off
• course. If you are realistic about your
goals and don’t aim above or below your
mark, you’ll hit the bull’s-eye.
KIT ’N’ CARLYLE ® by Larry Wright
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Re-
member a deal isn’t closed until it’s
signed, sealed and delivered. If you find
yourself in the midst of something quite
large, stay the course and don’t take any-
thing for granted.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) It takes
effort to win the big rewards that are
offered to you today, so if you're only will-
ing to use the avenues of least resis-
tance, not much will be accomplished by
day's end.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You may
have something going for you today, but
don’t feel it is necessary to drag along
people who are unable to keep pace. The
slowpokes could stop your gains.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Because of
thq wonderful way you relate to people,
jn opportunity of significance could come
your way today. Just be careful not to
bring anyone in who wasn't invited.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) How you
conclude matters today might turn out to
be far more important than how they
came about. Don’t allow lucky breaks go
by the boards because you didn't follow
through.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Even if what

Facets of bidding
and leading
By Phillip Alder
Today’s deal features two important
aspects of the game. First, look only at
the West hand and the auction. What
would you lead? Next, study the North
hand. Your partner opens one heart.
What would you respond?
The deal comes from a patch be-
tween England and Northern Ireland.
Let’s take the second question first. In
the old days, four to the eight was
deemed an “unbiddable suit,” so
everyone would respond one no-
trump. Now, though, it is considered
almost a heinous crime not to show a
four-card nuyor, however weak. Here,
though, the one-spade bid should have
worked very badly. (If North bids one
no-trump, South raises to game, and
East surely leads a helpful tow club.)
If you have three honors in a suit
with at least two touching, you lead
the top of the touching honors. So,
from this spade suit, you normally
lead the jack. But when North bids the
suit, the situation changes. Partner,
East, has to be short in spades. And if
the lead is to be effective, you would
like partner to have a spade honor. To
avoid blocking the suit, you should
lead your fourth-highest.
The Northern Irish West led the
spade jack. The declarer, Brian
Senior, won with the ace, played a
club to dummy’s ace, finessed the
heart queen, cashed the heart ace,
and drove out the heart jack. With the
spade suit blocked, the contract Could
not be defeated.
The English West, David Price, led
the spade five. Now that the spades
weren’t blocked and with everything
else unfavorable, the declarer couldn’t
come to more than eight tricks.

you do tor others today is done with the
greatest intentions of good will, you need
to take heed of your methods so that they
don’t offend someone in the process.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Getting invit-
ed into a prestigious or restricted group
could be a feather in your hat today.
However, once accepted, avoid feeling
obligated into spending money you can’t
afford.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) It’s your
nature to want to gather all your loved
ones about you and be protective of
them, but don’t get drawn into a problem
one of the clan took upon him or herself
and let it spoil your day.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could get
invited into some endeavor today where
its success depends upon secrecy. But
you must take care not to share the info
with any outsider, because the whole
thing could collapse.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) There’s a
good chance you might meet someone
new today who could prove quite lucky
for you. However, don’t feel you have to
spend lots of money to impress this per-
son. Just be yourself.
