YOUR BIRTHDAY— Ma
terially speaking, the year
ahead looks to be much
healthier for you than
the past 12 months. Both
material gain and personal
advancement is indicated
when you work toward
those ends, but they might
materialize in unexpected
ways.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- You might be luckier
in things that are done for
you by others than through
your own actions. Leave
the door open, however,
for those who see what
you’re doing and want in.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- Being in a particularly
ASTRO*GRAPH
good pattern for getting
substantial help and reap-
ing copious rewards from
ventures or endeavors that
you personally manage,
you can do much with
little. Act on it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- Timing is your most
valuable asset in helping
you achieve two important
objectives. Don’t make any
moves until you sense that
the iron is hot.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- A close friend of yours
might be instrumental in
helping you finally achieve
something that you’ve
wanted for a long time.
Now that you know how
it’s done, it can be re-
peated.

terially motivated enough
can you increase your
chances for fulfilling an
ambitious objective. It’s
one of those times when
you need to really want
what you’re chasing.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) -- Alliances estab-
lished for the purpose of
profit might not work out
that well, but partnerships
formed for noncommer-
cial reasons will meet with
remarkable success.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19) -- There are times
when we need to take a
chance in order to bet-
ter our positions where
business is concerned. A
well-planned, calculated
risk might be just what the
doctor ordered.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) -- With the initiation
of a mutual interest, a
very enterprising someone
whom you recently met
and teamed up with might
play a significant role in
your life from this day
forward.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Adhere to standards
that you believe to be cor-
rect and proper, and Lady
Luck will pitch in and help
you with your cause. Hold
to these principles, even
when under the most try-
ing of circumstances.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- An idea with which
you’ve been toying looks
like it has real merit and
can be expanded into
something you’ll be able to
work with. Sound it out on
a person you trust.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- There is plenty of
justification for good feel-
ings about your commer-
cial affairs. In fact, a recent
successful feat can be
repeated.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- Although co-workers
may be only lukewarm
about accepting one of
your suggestions concern-
ing a mutual enterprise,
demonstrate your idea and
watch how supportive they
quickly become.

Did partner overbid
or did you misplay?
By Phillip Alder
Delia Smith, an English
cook and TV personality,
said, “A cake is a very good
test of an oven. If it browns
too much on one side and
not on the other, it’s not your
fault; you need to have your
oven checked.”
If you go down in a con-
tract, it is surely because
your partner overbid. If not
that, then the distribution
was so bad that you had no
chance. But just maybe you
misplayed.
In this deal, South was
in six spades. West led the
diamond jack: queen, king,
ace. Declarer ran the spade
queen, but it lost to East’s
king, and a diamond return
defeated the contract.
Did North overbid, was
South unlucky, or did he
misplay?
North was optimistic in
looking for a slam. And, yes,
South was unlucky that the
lead was a diamond, the king
was over the queen, and the
spade finesse lost. However,
he misplayed.
Suppose the trump finesse
had worked. What would
South have done then? He
would have drawn trumps
and taken the club finesse. If
it won, he would have
collected an overtrick,
but if it failed, he would
have gone down one.
The spade finesse was
a black herring. South
needed the club finesse,
and if that was working,
he could afford the loss
of the trump finesse.
After West did not
cover the spade queen,
South should have
won with dummy’s
ace and called for the
club queen. East would
probably have covered.
South would have won
and taken his other two club
winners, discarding dummy’s
diamond loser. Then he
would have led a trump and
claimed.
