FOR THURSDAY,
APRIL 2 2009
The comforting Cancer
moon inspires a snuggly
mood. Motivation is low for
doing things that involve
leaving the cozy confines of
home. That’s not to say we
won’t be motivated to work
at some things. The Cancer
moon is a nurturing mother,
urging us to clean our
rooms, eat right and handle
our personal business. Curl
up and stay in tonight.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) . A relationship is chang-
ing in obvious ways. Go
lightly through the transi-
tion. This is only one of the
many incarnations this rela-
tionship will have in your
lifetime. Everything is shift-
ing for the better.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) . Relax. Let nothing
cause you undue stress,
especially not mundane nui-
sances such as bad drivers,
traffic, dropped cell phone
calls or slow Internet ser-
vice. Remind yourself that
everything happens in per-
fect time.
GEMINI (May 21-June
21) . You work comfortably
within a highly stiuctured
environment. The more
rules to the game, the better.
You pay attention to each
detail and easily find and
maneuver the winning
strategies.
CANCER (June 22-July
22) . Many will offer advice,
but most of it isn’t helpful.
Go straight to the top. Get
the ear of someone you
respect. You need to bounce
your ideas off of a wise per-
son who can help you see
what you need to do next.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
There is no reason to put off
your joy. Feel good now.
Give up a struggle that’s
between you and vou. The
punishment you inflict upon
yourself is needless and
helps no one. Forgive and
forget.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(APRIL 2). You strike on a
magic success formula that
includes treating yourself
very well. Remember that
you are a treasure in the
lives of many! Relationships
feel new in June. The spark
you initially felt with some-
one is what keeps love alive.
Exciting career moves hap-
pen in August. Your style
will be commended in
November. Cancer and Leo
adore you. Your lucky num-
BY KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR
Dear Annie: As a physical education
teacher, 1 have had the opportunity to work
with a lot of students in my nine years of
teaching. In this age of video games, it seems
harder and harder to motivate students to
want to participate. The good news is, our service learning
initiative has begun to change that attitude in both our
students and our community. I hope you can help me
share with other teachers, students, schools and commu-
nities how they can engage their students in learning even
more by doing for others, starting with Earth Day in April.
And it’s free! This is my third year participating in The
LEAGUE with my school. We have collected clothes and
canned food, written letters to soldiers, firemen and police
officers, held penny drives for local children’s hospitals,
and near Earth Day we take our entire student population
into the local neighborhoods to help clean up after winter.
We plant flower beds and trees in various courtyards, and
have sponsored a local park in honor of a fallen soldier
from our community. Students in all grades can give of
their time, treasure and talents. 1 have seen the
excitement in my students — an excitement to help other
people while physically doing something to make a differ-
ence M . chool population is made up of proud children
from single-family blue-collar homes with little extra
mone> 1 he LEAGUE gives every child the opportunity to
feel valued and valuable because of their gifts for others.
As an educator, I strive to teach my students that they are
a necessary and important piece of our school community
regardless of background. The LEAGUE helps me prove
this to every child in terms they and their families under-
stand. I would encourage any teacher with a classroom or
teacher-certified group (like a student council or club) to
go to the site www.tneleague.org to see the wonderful
"Learning to Give” curriculum and ideas for engaging our
students in the giving of their time, talent and treasure for
others. - Rob Merchant, Break-O-Day Elementary,
New Whiteland, Ind.
Dear Rob Merchant: Thanks for your letter
about The LEAGUE. Earth Day involves improving
our environment and communities, and activities
run through the month of April. The LEAGUE
inspires kids to give of themselves and become
more responsible citizens. We hope all principals,
teachers and school organizations will check out
the website and find ways to get involved in these
worthwhile events.
Dear Annie: My two sisters live in different states.
They have daughters who are getting married three weeks
apart. Since my wife and I don’t have the resources to fly
to both weddings, rent a car and get a hotel room plus a
gift, which one do we attend? I love my nieces equally, but
attending both is more than we can afford. Any sugges-
tions? — Torn in Toledo
Dear Toledo: Here are your options: See if there
are low-cost airfares and hotels that will allow you
to attend both; attend neither; attend the first one
for which you receive an invitation; you and your
wife could each attend one alone in a show of fam-
ily loyalty. We think you should openly discuss the
problem with your sisters so they wilt understand
your dilemma and whatever decision you make.
Dear Annie: I would like to respond to “Ringless,’’ who
was greatly disturbed that her husband didn't wear his
wedding ring. Mv wife and I have been married 61 years,
and I’ve never worn a wedding band because rings cause
me to develop a skin condition that requires a trip to the
dermatologist. Both of us have been faithful and I never
considered that a ring would ensure any greater love for
her. If “Ringless’s" husband avoids wearing a wedding
band in order to pose as a single man, then sne has cause
for concern. Otherwise, I would tell her to drop her objec-
tions and love the guy without it. — G.

bers are: 3,4, 39, -4 and 25.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22). You’ll be out doing what
you need to do and there
may be a line or two to stand
in. You'll be next to interest-
ing people, though, and if
you strike up a conversation,
you will find out you have
much in common.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You’re through with feeling
undervalued. If someone
isn't treating you right,
you'll get the perfect
moment to rectify the situa-
tion. It will help to call in a
third party who thinks
you’re spectacular.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). At work, you will be
tempted to go on autopilot,
but this is no time to coast.
Make sure your level of par-
ticipation is such that you
feel completely engaged in
life. Others will feel this, too,
and respect you for it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
22-t)ec. 21). One of your
endeavors is much more
challenging than it should
be. Consider that the timing
may not be unite right. Back
off for a while. When it’s
right, it will come easily to
you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19). If it weren't for
you, many things would go
unnoticed. Bringing atten-
tion to small details adds
magic to your experience
and when you share your
insights the enchantment
extends to others.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-
Feb. 18). You have the inten-
sity, passion and ferocity in
you to create your desired
reality, though you may
channel this in a very con-
trolled and cool way. You are
wise to watch how a game is
being played before you
jump in.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). You've attained a level
of achievement that you can
be proud of, but don’t rest.
Start a new endeavor. Being
a beginner is humbling and
absolutely necessary for
your growth and develop-
ment.
ASTROLOGICAL
QUESTIONS: “I’m a
Taurus and I’ve met the man
of my dreams — a
Sagittarius. The only prob-
lem is, he doesn’t seem ouite
as into me as I am into him.
He does seem to like me, but
the intensity is just not the
same as what I feel for him, I
can just tell. Do you have
any advice?”
Oh, yes! Stay in control
and totally self-contained.
Don’t gush or let him know
that you’ve lost your heart to
him. And know w'ho he is
and what he needs. A
Sagittarius man requires
lots of unexpected excite-
ment from the girl of his
dreams. So don’t stay on one
note. Taurus gals can be
stubborn. Once they realize
what works they press that
button until the cows (or
bulls, as the case may be)
come home. But what’s
working will cease working
if it’s overdone. Change it
up. Be artful. One week
you're the supportive cheer-
leader who calls to rally him.
The next week you’re the
mysterious goddess instead
- you Greta Garbo him.
Then what’s next? Maybe
nothing at all. Maybe some-
thing thrilling. Only you
know. Keep him suspended
in wonder.

action hero. Also, his moon

tell terrific luck in roles that
