CAPRICORN [December 21-January 20] - Your sharp

the edge needed for getting things accomplished.
AQUARIUS [January 21-February 19] - Your per-
sonal magnetism and extra stamina provides just the charm
plus the capabilities required for meeting with week’s
demands.
company or, in the case of
Medicare or Medicaid, the
government, which pays the
doctor (the second party) for the
patient’s health care (the first
party). |

somewhat hidden.
