Although your way of doing things might be superior to other family members, if you simply try to push things on them, they'll rebel.Handle matters in ways that won’t lose support.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) — Your intentions might be good, but if your manner of presentation is harsh, they’ll be offensive to others.Take extra care as to how you conduct yourself when making suggestions.ARIES (March 21-April 19) - A number of gains are possible concerning your financial interests, but that doesn’t mean you can let up on your frugal spending habits or you could be right back where you started.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You’re a self-starter, but it’s essential to distinguish between when it’s OK to assert yourself and when to back off.If you get signals that you’re overbearing, stand down.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Usually you can be trusted to keep secrets, but if you are a bit gabby, be careful that you don’t slip and reveal something you shouldn’t.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You’re smart and practical in areas where you can realize advancement and gains, but you must still be careful about getting too self-assured and missing something big.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — Self-interests shouldn’t become so important at this time that you succumb to using methods you’d be embarrassed to talk about later.Maintain your high standards at all times.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) - Advice based on knowledge gained from your personal experience will be effective and helpful to others.The opposite will be true if you simply pretend to have the answers.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) — Be extra careful when managing money matters that affect others as well as yourself.It won’t sit well if you take heedless chances when handling the financial affairs of those who trusted you.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) — There’s a chance you could opt to accept someone’s questionable judgment and ignore excellent advice simply because it comes from a person you dislike.Keep your priorities straight.Wednesday, Dec.10,2008 After the writing, before the reading By Phillip Alder Regular readers will remember that recently I ran a series of columns about takeout doubles.After they had been written, but before publication, this deal occurred during a social game.I hope South would handle things better now.What would you have done differently as North and South during the auction?West knew no fear, opening a vulnerable weak two with such a weak suit.If I had been North, I would have overcalled two no-trump.The takeout double would have been my second choice.And much as I like to show five-card majors, I would never have overcalled three hearts with such a lousy suit.South needed a fifth club to jump to four clubs.He should have cue-bid three spades.Yes, it would have been a slight overbid with a soft 11-point hand containing a lot of “quacks,” but it would have greatly increased the chances of finding the correct strain (trump suit or no-trump).Here, North would have rebid three no-trump or four hearts, ei- North 12 10 08 A A K V 9 8 5 4 3 ?K 9 3 4» A J 7 West East A Q 9 7 6 5 2 A 8 4 3 V 10 V A K 7 2 ?A 8 6 ?J 5 2 *10 4 2 * 9 8 6 South A J 10 V Q J 6 ?Q 10 7 4 * K Q 5 3 Dealer: West Vulnerable: Both South West North East 2 A Dbl.Pass 4 * Pass 4 V Dbl.Pass Pass 5 * Dbl.Pass Pass Pass Opening lead: V 10 ther of which South should pass.(North would bid four-card suits up the line, so could not have four hearts and a four-card minor.)
