ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, there are times in your life when things will be easy. This week you will discover what it feels like to breeze through all the things you wish to accomplish.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you're a lonely soul this week and that's because you are choosing to isolate yourself from others. Think about social engagements for next week. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Get up and try something that is completely outside of your comfort zone, Gemini. You will discover the rush of excitement that can ensue when you push yourself to the limit.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 You need a place to rest your head, Cancer. That's because you've been working yourself ragged for the last several days. It's time for some much-needed R&R.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, as much as you may hate to admit it, you took someone's advice and everything worked out for the best. Even though you butt heads with this person, express gratitude.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, if you're stuck in a rut it's time to do something about it. Put all of your usual excuses aside and try something a bit different this time around.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and your resolve certainly will be put to the test this week when many obstacles lie ahead. With some help, you'll survive.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Just when you thought you could relax, Scorpio, new responsibilities pop up that need your immediate attention. It could be time to delegate some of these tasks.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, it might take a little while for you to dig out from behind the pile of honeydo tasks on your list. However, once you do, it will be smooth sailing for at least a month. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, someone can use your help this week, but you won't know who it is until the week progresses. Just leave your calendar open for the next several days.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, there are busy times ahead, so rest up for the days of work on the horizon. You won't be tackling everything alone, but there will certainly be a lot to do.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you're on the road this week, whether it's a recreational trip or strictly business. Expect a few bumps along the way.

In the past two years, the newspaper business has faced unprecedented challenges, but make no mistake: newspaper media - print and digital - remains strong and will emerge from the current environment an even stronger multi-platform force.
104Million 61% 40% 56% 52% TONS MOST Number of adults who read a print newspaper every day, more than 115 million on Sunday. That’s more than the Super Bowl (94 million), American Idol (23 million) or the average late local news (65 million.)
18-24 year olds and 25-34 year olds who read a newspaper in an average week. 65% of everyone in those age groups read a newspaper or visited a newspaper website that week.
Households with unique visitors to newspaper websites in an average month.
According to Google, percentage of consumers that have researched or purchased products they saw in a newspaper.
Percentage of people who are more likely to buy a product if it is seen in the paper.
Number of creative options for advertisers choosing to utilize the newspaper. From belly bands, polybags, post-it notes, scented ads, taste-it ads, glow-in-the-dark and temporary tattoos, as well as event and database marketing, behavioral targeting, e-mail blasts, e-newsletters and more.
Newspapers make a larger investment in journalism than any other medium. Most of the information you already read from “aggregators” and other media originated with newspapers. No amount of effort from local bloggers, non-profit news entities or TV news sources could match the depth and breadth of newspaperproduced content.
This is not a portrait of a dying industry. It’s illustrative of transformation. Newspapers are reinventing themselves to focus on serving distinct audiences with a variety of products, and delivering those audiences effectively to advertisers across media channels.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, there are times in your life when things will be easy. This week you will discover what it feels like to breeze through all the things you wish to accomplish.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you're a lonely soul this week and that's because you are choosing to isolate yourself from others. Think about social engagements for next week. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Get up and try something that is completely outside of your comfort zone, Gemini. You will discover the rush of excitement that can ensue when you push yourself to the limit.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 You need a place to rest your head, Cancer. That's because you've been working yourself ragged for the last several days. It's time for some much-needed R&R.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, as much as you may hate to admit it, you took someone's advice and everything worked out for the best. Even though you butt heads with this person, express gratitude.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, if you're stuck in a rut it's time to do something about it. Put all of your usual excuses aside and try something a bit different this time around.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and your resolve certainly will be put to the test this week when many obstacles lie ahead. With some help, you'll survive.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Just when you thought you could relax, Scorpio, new responsibilities pop up that need your immediate attention. It could be time to delegate some of these tasks.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, it might take a little while for you to dig out from behind the pile of honeydo tasks on your list. However, once you do, it will be smooth sailing for at least a month. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, someone can use your help this week, but you won't know who it is until the week progresses. Just leave your calendar open for the next several days.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, there are busy times ahead, so rest up for the days of work on the horizon. You won't be tackling everything alone, but there will certainly be a lot to do.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you're on the road this week, whether it's a recreational trip or strictly business. Expect a few bumps along the way.

In the past two years, the newspaper business has faced unprecedented challenges, but make no mistake: newspaper media - print and digital - remains strong and will emerge from the current environment an even stronger multi-platform force.
104Million 61% 40% 56% 52% TONS MOST Number of adults who read a print newspaper every day, more than 115 million on Sunday. That’s more than the Super Bowl (94 million), American Idol (23 million) or the average late local news (65 million.)
18-24 year olds and 25-34 year olds who read a newspaper in an average week. 65% of everyone in those age groups read a newspaper or visited a newspaper website that week.
Households with unique visitors to newspaper websites in an average month.
According to Google, percentage of consumers that have researched or purchased products they saw in a newspaper.
Percentage of people who are more likely to buy a product if it is seen in the paper.
Number of creative options for advertisers choosing to utilize the newspaper. From belly bands, polybags, post-it notes, scented ads, taste-it ads, glow-in-the-dark and temporary tattoos, as well as event and database marketing, behavioral targeting, e-mail blasts, e-newsletters and more.
Newspapers make a larger investment in journalism than any other medium. Most of the information you already read from “aggregators” and other media originated with newspapers. No amount of effort from local bloggers, non-profit news entities or TV news sources could match the depth and breadth of newspaperproduced content.
This is not a portrait of a dying industry. It’s illustrative of transformation. Newspapers are reinventing themselves to focus on serving distinct audiences with a variety of products, and delivering those audiences effectively to advertisers across media channels.
