COMEY TO TESTIFY NEXT GUNMAN SPREADS PANIC BOMBER LOSES BID TO WEEK IN RUSSIA PROBE AT PHILIPPINES CASINO HAVE CHARGES DISMISSED

Former FBI Director James Comey will testify next Thursday before a Senate panel investigating Russia’s alleged meddling in the 2016 election, in a hearing that could be difficult for President Trump. In his first public appearance since Trump fired him on May 9, Comey will address the Senate Intelligence Committee on June 8. He will speak at both an open session and behind closed doors, which would allow him to

discuss classified information, the committee said.

Allegations that Russia may have helped Trump win the 2016 presidential election and questions about possible collusion by members of his campaign are being investigated by several U.S. congressional committees as well as by the Justice Department. REUTERS

A gunman burst into a casino, fired shots and set gaming tables alight in the Philippine capital early on Friday, sowing panic in a country on high alert after martial law was declared in the south, but police said the motive was likely robbery. National police chief Ronald dela Rosa told DZMM radio the lone gunman had not aimed his assault rifle at people at the Resorts World Manila

entertainment complex, and may have been trying to steal casino chips. Shots and loud bangs rang out shortly after midnight in the buildings close to Terminal Three of Ninoy Aquino International Airport and an air force base, prompting fears that a militant attack was under way. Medical officials said at least 25 people were hurt, some seriously, as they rushed to escape. REUTERS

Competitors in the final rounds of the Scripps National Spelling Bee picked their way along a precarious lifeline of consonants and vowels on Thursday as they eyed a $40,000 cash prize. On the second and last day of the Bee, 15 competitors were still standing for the final face-off at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in suburban Washington, to be televised live on ESPN beginning at 8:30 p.m. In earlier

rounds, some spellers tripped over words including Corriedale, toreutics, cleidoic and panettone, weeding down the field headed for the finish of the 90th national Bee. Others hung on by correctly spelling catafalque, outarde and chryselephantine. Competitors ages 6 to 15 emerged from early spelling bees involving more than 11 million youths from all 50 U.S. states, U.S. territories from Puerto Rico to Guam, and several countries, from Jamaica to Japan.

A professional protester’s guide to successful protesting Parade personality Marni Halasa partners with Left Forum to present “Protests That Work.”

NIKKI M. MASCALI @MetroNewYork

nikki.mascali@metro.us

In recent months, millions across the globe have taken to the streets to rally against President Donald Trump and inequality and to raise awareness for climate change, the importance of science and countless other causes.

“Here we are in this situation where there’s all this unprecedented danger, cuts to social programs, healthcare … but it’s also an opportunity to build mass movements,” Marni Halasa, a selfdescribed “professional protester,” told Metro.

Over the past 18 years, the professional figure skater and coach of the Sky Rink All Stars (who also dabbled in journalism and law) has certainly earned that moniker and become a well-known protest personality.

“I used to jump into parades — sometimes the police would escort me out — but I’ve been drawn to these big events where the public is always present,” Halasa said.

Her interest in getting

involved in such happenings across New York City wasn’t fueled by ego or the chance to wear one of her fabulous costumes — heck, she doesn’t even do it for monetary gain.

“I wanted to kind of give my energy in that way, to diffuse tensions — it’s a way to get a political message out there in a more illustrative way,” she said.

Halasa found her true niche when she became involved in Occupy Wall Street in 2011 and helped spread the message of the movement when the media was drawn to her.

Because she’s such a force in the protest community, Halasa — along with actor/director/puppeteer Elliot Crown and filmmaker and Occupy. com co-founder David Sauvage — will present a panel titled “Protests That Work” at Left Forum at John Jay College of Criminal Justice on Saturday.

The panel will cover how people organizing rallies or protests can get media attention, negotiate with power and collectively gather.

“Protesting is one of the most important things you can probably do; it can really change things,” said Halasa, who also counts Alternative Banking among the many groups she regularly works with.

Because Halasa is such a popular figure in the protest world and is actually writing a book about protesting, we asked her to share her tips for organizing a protest.

The top things to know about planning a protest •

Define the injustice, and set clear and specific demands of what needs to be changed.

• Choose a public location and a time when people can attend.

• Invite people, politically aligned groups, community leaders, politicians, activists, friends, family, co-workers and students to attend..

• Alert the local and national media, journalists, photographers and bloggers.

• Organize protest materials, signage with catchy slogans, informative flyers for the public, art, etc.

• If possible, provide entertainment, performance art, giveaways, etc.

Left Forum takes place June 2-4 at John Jay College of Criminal Justice at 899 10th Ave. “Protests That Work” will be held Saturday, June 3, at noon.

Trump says US to quit Paris climate pact; allies voice dismay Under the pact, nations both rich and poor committed to reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.

President Donald Trump on Thursday said he will withdraw the United States from the landmark 2015 global agreement to fight climate change, spurning pleas from allies and corporate leaders in an action that fulfilled a major campaign pledge.

Supporters of the accord condemned Trump’s move as an abdication of American leadership, an international disgrace and a foreign policy blunder.

His predecessor, Barack Obama, expressed regret over the pullout from a deal he was instrumental in brokering.

“We’re getting out,” Trump said at a ceremony in the White House Rose Garden in which he decried the Paris accord’s “draconian” financial and economic burdens. He said American withdrawal “represents a reassertion of American sovereignty.”

Trump said the United States would begin negotiations either to re-enter the Paris accord or to have a new agreement “on terms that are fair to the United States, its businesses, its workers, its people, its taxpayers.”

U.S. allies voiced dismay over Trump’s move, and France, Germany and Italy dismissed his suggestion that the global pact could be revised.

With Trump’s action, the United States will walk away from nearly every nation in the world on one of the pressing global issues of the 21st century. The pullout will align the United States with Syria and Nicaragua as the world’s only nonparticipants in the accord.

Trump said the United States would cease payments to the U.N. Green Climate Fund, in which rich countries committed billions of dollars to help developing countries deal with floods, droughts and other impacts from climate change.

President Trump claimed the Paris accord would hurt the U.S. economy. GETTY IMAGES

The United States was one of 195 nations that agreed to the accord in Paris in December 2015.

But Trump said the accord would “undermine our economy, hamstring our workers, weaken our sovereignty, impose unacceptable legal risk, and put us at a permanent disadvantage to the other countries of the world.”

“We don’t want other leaders and other countries laughing at us any more. And they won’t be,”

“We’re getting out.”

President Donald Trump

Trump added as he tapped into the “America First” message he used when he was elected president.

“I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris,” the Republican president said.

Obama said in a statement that the nations that remain in the agreement will be the ones that reap the benefits in jobs and industries created.

“But even in the absence of American leadership; even as this administration joins a small

handful of nations that reject the future; I’m confident that our states, cities, and businesses will step up and do even more to lead the way, and help protect for future generations the one planet we’ve got,” Obama added.

Tesla Inc. Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said he will leave White House advisory councils after Trump’s move.

General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt said he was disappointed, adding, “Climate change is real. Industry must now lead and not depend on government.”

Republican U.S. congressional leaders backed Trump. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell applauded Trump “for dealing yet another significant blow to the Obama administration’s assault on domestic energy production and jobs.”

Democrats blasted the president’s move.

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer called the decision “one of the worst policy moves made in the 21st century because of the huge damage to our economy, our environment and our geopolitical standing.” REUTERS

Hundreds gather to enrich Harlem residents’ lives by restoring historic Polo Grounds area Now a housing complex, the stadium that once stood on 155th Street was home to the New York Giants baseball team — and an MLB legend.

NIKKI M. MASCALI @MetroNewYork

nikki.mascali@metro.us

The history of Harlem is so vast it could be the city’s sixth borough, but sadly over time, many of its once-notable areas have disappeared, replaced by endless skyscrapers or long forgotten altogether.

Such is the case of the former Polo Grounds, a stadium that was on 155th Street in Harlem and was home to MLB’s New York Giants from 1883 to 1957, before the team moved to San Francisco in 1958.

In what was known as “the Bathtub” for its unique shape, Bobby Thomson made his gamewinning “shot heard ’round the world” against the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1951, and Willie Mays made “the catch” in Game 1 of the 1954 World Series.

In an effort to remind New Yorkers of that storied MLB lore while also revitalizing portions of the landscape that has been home to the Polo Grounds Towers housing complex since 1968, hundreds gathered Thursday under the 155th Street Viaduct to take part in Pernod Ricard’s annual Responsib’all Day. For the second year in a row, the global beverage company partnered with environmental nonprofit EarthShare and the New York Restoration Project to revitalize several acres

of land for the more than 7,000 residents living in nearby public housing.

“I live about 10 blocks from here, and it’s kind of isolated from the rest of Harlem,” state Sen. Marisol Alcantara said. “One in seven kids has asthma in this area, and there is not a lot of green space. What you’re doing today is going to make a difference in many kids’ lives.”

Among the work included in the daylong project was clearing vegetation on the complex property, planting wildflowers, assisting with a neighborhood garden and working in nearby Highbridge Park, where Responsib’all Day took place last year.

“This has been a dumping ground for 30 years. I hope this is the beginning of a destination,” Barbara Williams, president of the resident association at the Polo Grounds Towers, added.

For many diehard Giants fans, like those in the New York Giants Preservation Society, the site has always been a destination.

“I’m a San Francisco Giants baseball fan, but I live in New York. Willie Mays was my idol, and Willie’s origins are here,” member Paul Ellis-Graham said.

Though the main portion of the Bathtub is long gone, little reminders do exist, like the John T. Brush Stairway. Built in 1913 and named after the man who owned the Giants from 1890 until his death in 1912, the stairway still leads down into the Polo Grounds Towers property from Coogan’s Bluff. It was restored in 2014 using donations from the NFL’s New York Giants and Jets and the MLB, Yankees, Mets and San Francisco Giants.

AIRPORT TROUBLE Travelers, workers battling influx of mosquitoes at LGA Flying seems to be more grueling than ever before, what with extra baggage fees, long security lines, airline mishaps that include, but are not limited to violent attacks on passengers and, if you’re flying out of New York’s LaGuardia Airport, constant congestion due to the facility’s extensive renovation project.

But wait, there’s more: Travelers and workers alike are

Madoff trustee defeats appeal over payouts Victims scrambling to recover their money 8½ years after Madoff ’s 2008 arrest must wait longer.

A U.S. appeals court on Thursday closed another avenue for Bernard Madoff’s victims to recoup money they lost, saying the trustee liquidating the swindler’s firm can ignore transfers of fake profits between customer accounts when determining payouts.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled against several dozen former customers of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, including onetime New York Mets second baseman Tim Teufel, in endorsing trustee Irving Picard’s methodology.

“We recognize that our decision today provides no remedy to appellants, who have undoubtedly suffered along with too many others as a result of Madoff’s Ponzi scheme,” the three-judge panel wrote.

“We continue to refuse, however, to treat fictitious and arbitrarily assigned paper profits as real and to give legal effect to Madoff’s machinations,” it added.

Picard used a variation of his court-approved “net

equity” method in deciding to ignore fake profits.

Under the variation, if an account statement included $2 million of equity and $3 million of fictitious profit, and a customer tried to transfer the entire sum to another customer, then Picard would credit the recipient for only $2 million.

In Thursday’s decision, the appeals court agreed that this method reflected how no “real value” moved in the transfers.

The decision acknowledges that Picard’s method “helps to unravel the fraud, rather than compound it,” Amy Vanderwal, a partner at Baker & Hostetler, which is representing the trustee, said in an interview.

Picard is also a partner at Baker & Hostetler.

The decision upheld rulings by U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer and U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Stuart Bernstein.

Picard has recouped $11.6 billion for Madoff victims, two-thirds of the roughly $17.5 billion of principal he has estimated they lost.

A fund set up in 2013 by the U.S. Department of Justice to distribute another $4 billion, overseen by former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Richard Breeden, has yet to begin payouts.

now battling mosquitoes at LGA, one of the busiest airports in the United States.

It is believed that the $4 billion construction project is to blame for the increase in the mosquito population at the busy airport, the New York Post reported.

“I never saw it like this before. It’s pretty gross,” said a security guard who declined to give his name to the Post.

“I pay too much money for a flight to have little critters com-

ing at me once I’m inside the airport,” said Franchesca Lewis, a traveler from Long Island.

The mix of the renovation and LaGuardia’s location on the Flushing and Bowery bays in Queens may be playing a role in the increase in mosquitoes, Julien Martinez of the city’s Health Department told the Post. “It’s getting warmer, and it’s been raining and humid,” he said.

While he said that the mosquitoes could be any one

of the dozens of species that live in the city, none have been known to carry Zika, the sickness that has been plaguing many parts of the world for the past few years.

Exterminators were brought in by LaGuardia Gateway Partners, which operates Terminal B, the Post reported, and they have installed several bug zappers, removing areas where there is standing water and cleaning loading dock areas as well. NIKKI M. MASCALI

10 NEWS NEW YORK Judge: NYPD must face lawsuit over ‘sound cannons’ at protests The New York City Police Department failed to persuade a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit claiming it used excessive force by employing military-grade sound cannons, which can emit ear-piercing noise, to disperse protesters.

In a decision on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Robert Sweet in Manhattan said people who claimed to suffer hearing loss,

migraines, ringing in the ears and other injuries at a Dec. 5, 2014, protest over the death of an unarmed black man at the hands of police could seek damages.

The plaintiffs — including photojournalists, activists, a photographer and a graduate student — were protesting a grand jury decision not to indict a white policeman whose chokehold led to the death of Eric Garner in July 2014.

Armed with videos of the protest, they objected to the NYPD’s

use from 10 feet away of a Long Range Acoustic Device, which can be used to disperse crowds through volumes that can top 120 decibels, louder than sandblasters and power saws.

“The protest involved large numbers of people and so it is understandable that the officers would want to increase the volume of their message to reach the largest number,” Sweet wrote.

“However, the allegations and video make the protest appear broadly in control, even

when glass bottles were thrown from the crowd toward the police,” making it “reasonably plausible” that the LRAD was unnecessary, he said.

Sweet also said the plaintiffs could pursue claims over the alleged improper training of officers, and for assault and battery.

He rejected claims over alleged free speech violations and illegal seizures, and dismissed all claims against former NYPD Commissioner William Bratton.

DON’T BLAME ME It was the media. It was the FBI. It was misogyny, the Democratic National Committee — heck, throw in the “vast right wing conspiracy” if you wish. Hillary Clinton is speaking up a lot lately about losing to Donald Trump last fall, and while she is slamming others as fast as she can name them, you want to guess how much she blames herself ? Spoiler alert: not much. OK, not at all. Zip. This week she summed it up. “I take responsibility for every decision I make but that’s not why I lost.”

Read that again, because it speaks volumes.

She takes responsibility for setting up a private email server in her home and for months making disingenuous claims about it; for making highly paid speeches to bankers and refusing to let us see the contents; for taking her Rust Belt support for granted; for underestimating Bernie Sanders then failing to successfully court his followers; and, just for good measure, for referring to millions of Americans as a “basket of deplorables.” All of that in any election might lead to defeat for anyone.

Yet time and again Clinton has insisted it was everything else that cost her the race. And if you Google “why Hillary lost” you’ll find endless pundits who agree she was hurt by factors beyond her control: She was held to a different standard as a woman.

She was unfairly tarred as untrustworthy. She was disproportionately smeared for every mistake, and unfairly ig-

nored for every triumph.

And yeah, the Russians.

But she came into the race with a hurricane of Democratic support: every big name from President Obama to Katy Perry. She had decades to convince the American public not merely that she was qualified, but also a trustworthy leader. She had endless opportunities to set out a compelling vision for the country. And despite taking the popular vote, she still lost the electoral contest — the only one that really counts — to a rank political outsider.

Even many respected Democratic analysts have concluded, despite their howling dismay over President Trump, that Clinton blew it. The race was hers to win, she was the captain, and she lost. She can’t change that by blaming everyone else, but if she keeps it up she could make even some Democrats glad to see her gone.

Our favorite ass-kicking women on the big screen With the arrival of “Wonder Woman� this week — the first superhero movie not starring a dude since 2005’s “Electra,� and starring Gal Gadot, a woman who’s already done action in the “Fast/Furious� movies — we feel compelled to remind the internet that there are too many female action gods to ignore.

MICHAEL OCHS ARCHIVES, GETTY IMAGES

Pam Grier By the 1970s, the idea of women doing action was no longer verboten in Hollywood. But the ass-kicking women still had to be hot.

Pam Grier would play the sex bomb, but she was the sex bomb that will claw your horndog face o. In “Coy,â€?

Grier seeks the men who murdered her brother. She seduces her prey. Then when they’re blind with lust, she kills them real good. Grier was the avenging angel by way of siren, and you cheered as she took everyone out.

Sigourney Weaver

Michelle Yeoh

Uma Thurman

In the original “Alien,�

Weaver’s Ellen Ripley is mostly just trying to stay alive.

By 1986’s sequel, “Aliens,â€? she was an action icon. But Ripley didn’t just kill Xenomorphs real good. She was also the only person who keeps a cool head; a frustrated loner undermined by male superiors; and a mother grieving her dead daughter, who ďŹ nds her maternal instincts reawakened by the orphaned girl Newt. Ripley’s not simply a woman doing manly things, but a complex person.

Actresses from the ’60s and ’70s, like Meiko Kaji (“Lady Snowbloodâ€?), paved the way for all the powerful martial arts women of the ’80s and ’90s. Yeoh was arguably the era’s best, though this slot could easily be ďŹ lled

by Maggie Cheung or Anita Mui. As it happens, all three of them teamed up in 1993’s nutso “The Heroic Trio,� where women who had each held their own with Jackie Chan got to do a riproaring classic without the help of any men.

Few roles are as tough as “Kill Bill’s� The Bride.

There’s so much to do. She has to sword ďŹ ght dozens, maybe hundreds of baddies. She has to endure the rigorous training of a kung fu master. She has to play a woman undone by the (she thinks) death of her unborn child. And Thurman pulled it all o without a hitch. We’re still mystiďŹ ed she didn’t receive a special Oscar for her troubles.

Linda Hamilton in “Terminator 2: Judgment Day� PROVIDED

Linda Hamilton Like “Aliens,â€? the second “Terminatorâ€? was not only bigger — it gave its female star more to do. In the ďŹ rst ďŹ lm, Linda Hamilton’s Sarah Connor was an average woman, surprised to discover an android from the future was trying to kill her. By the second episode, she’d become almost as deadly as Arnold Schwarzenegger’s T-100 itself.

And like Ripley, she didn’t merely bring the pain. She was intense, traumatized, unpredictable, sometimes even crazy or borderline unlikable.

Say farewell to Public Brad Farmerie’s acclaimed restaurant that shook up NYC with dishes like smoked kangaroo is closing after 14 years.

EVA KIS @thisiskis

eva.kis@metro.us

New York will lose one of the OGs that kicked the food scene into unexplored territory when Brad Farmerie’s Public closes this week.

After 14 years, the Nolita restaurant will serve its last plate of smoked kangaroo carpaccio and many other favorites it’s become known for since its opening back in 2003 at the final dinner tonight. It all ends with brunch Saturday. Reservations can be made through OpenTable or by calling 212-343-7011.

The reason for its ending is an all too common story recently: its building is being redeveloped.

Public introduced New York City to the cooking styles and ingredients of Australia and New Zealand. FACEBOOK

Farmerie tells us: “210 Elizabeth St. is the heart of Public. While the food, beverage and even design could, in theory, be transferred to a different location, the soul of Public would be lost, and we would rather say farewell in its original form than try to recreate that unique, intangible quality that Public gave to its guests in another venue.”

Besides the fact that NYC is losing another

restaurant that looms large in its culinary history, the upsetting thing about Public’s closure is that it is a restaurant that didn’t coast on its reputation. What started somewhat haphazardly, with Farmerie giving unusual cuts of meat the Down Under treatment, became a hit.

And even as it scored fans with tripe and offal, it also low-key catered to the vegetarian and gluten-free

set before they became standard options, earning a Michelin star in 2009.

While Public was certainly unique, Farmerie’s cooking lives on at the ode to grilling that is Saxon + Parole (where as executive chef, his take on the Impossible Burger merges the worlds of meat and vegetables), as well as a few flourishes on the menu at the throwback burger joint Genuine Roadside.

KNICKS 2017 NBA DRAFT PROFILE: MALIK MONK With New York picking at No. 8 during the 2017 NBA draft, Metro New York will try and deduce the possible prospects who might fall to them during the first round of the late-June selection process.

After looking at NC State’s Dennis Smith and French youngster Frank Ntilikina, we break down Kentucky’s Malik Monk.

Height and Length

All-Out Baller In terms of pure scorers, you won’t find many better than Monk. He holds the threat of picking apart defenses from any spot on the floor and his ever-developing long-range game is going to be a force to be reckoned with at the NBA level.

Add that to a freakish athletic ability that allows him to jump out of the gym, Monk has 100 different ways to burn you.

There is a little left to be desired in terms of Monk’s physique. At 6-foot-3, his 6-foot-4 wingspan will call his defense and finishing ability at the rim into question. But his athletic ability should dispel any of those worries for NBA teams interested in him. That being said, the team that drafts him will have to work tirelessly with him to ensure that he can provide some semblance of a two-way game.

Do you know how tall 42 inches is? That’s 3 feet, 6 inches. That’s one whole child. That’s how high Monk can jump. To say this kid has bunnies is an understatement.

He has the moves needed to find the open space needed to launch, too. An ability to change direction quickly will cause opposing defenders fits.

YANKEES, METS TAKING FANS FOR A CRAZY RIDE After years of playing second fiddle to the Yankees, the Mets came into the 2017 season with the majority of New York City baseball fans favoring them over the “Evil Empire.”

The Amazins were the talk of the town and there were no real signs that the Yankees would be able to overtake the Mets in terms of success this season. The Mets’ young and healthy pitching rotation was all the rage and the only real hype coming from the Bronx was generated by Gary Sanchez. Well, we are about 50 games into the regular season and boy has that storyline changed.

For one, the Mets’ pitching rotation has been the talk of the town for all of the wrong reasons. By now we are all aware of Matt Harvey’s off-field issues that have forced his

OPINION

SID ROSENBERG @sidrosenberg

pitching to the backseat.

Though the Dark Knight has yet to return to his All-Star form, he has shown signs of improvement with his velocity and control from last season where it looked as though he would never reach his full potential.

Then there were injuries to Steven Matz and Noah Syndergaard that would set the Mets into a tailspin early on. The young arms that were supposed to carry the Mets back to the postseason were dropping like flies.

Now on the other side of town, the story was the polar opposite.

The Yankees’ veteran

pitching staff has not been great by any means, but their experience has helped them hold steady atop the AL East. The real story in the Bronx has been the bats, specifically rookie Aaron Judge.

The 6-foot-7 gentle giant has been anything but gentle to opposing pitching this season and has taken the league by storm.

Judge leads all of baseball in homers and has shown no signs of slowing down. Sanchez has been forced to play under Judge’s shadow following an outrageous rookie campaign. To put it lightly, just when we thought the Yanks were going into a rebuilding stage, they have catapulted themselves back into the postseason picture early on.

Though the Mets pitching has disappointed so far, there is one position player that has been far

from a disappointment.

Michael Conforto has been an absolute stud at the plate, spraying pitches all over whichever ballpark he steps foot in. The 24-year-old has been a much-needed bright spot in the Mets’ outfield with Yoenis Cespedes landing on the DL and Curtis Granderson owning a sub .200 batting average. After a shaky 2016 season, Conforto has solidified himself as an everyday player.

It has been an interesting few months of baseball here and we can expect that to continue throughout the year as both the Mets and Yanks make playoff pushes.

Both teams have a plethora of young talent and are showcasing it on a nightly basis. With this kind of youth movement taking over New York, baseball right now is exciting as ever.

metro.us/horoscopes Aries Use your intelligence and an emotional plea to manipulate others. The combination of smarts and heart will show how diverse and accommodating you can be.

Libra Keep busy, as idle time will lead to an emotional frenzy that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to end well.

Take care of your responsibilities early and move on to physical activities.

Taurus Interact with people who can help you get something done. What you accomplish through such an association will be inspiring as well as prosperous.

Scorpio Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t limit what you can do because of an obligation. Include the people who might feel left out if you want to accomplish your goals and improve your relationships.

Gemini Do whatever it takes to stabilize your home environment. Close the door on negativity, and walk away from people who use emotional manipulation to entice you.

Sagittarius Making personal improvements, going to a retreat or planning social arrangements will energize and enlighten you.

Romance is encouraged.

Cancer Moderate and tasteful alterations to your home or lifestyle will be praised.

Anyone trying to encourage you to go overboard should not be listened to.

Capricorn Home is where the heart is, and if you use your head, you will come up with a plan that will add to your comfort and help your assets grow.

Leo You can help others, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let anyone take advantage of you. Your generosity will be abused if you try to buy someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love. Only oďŹ&#x20AC;er what comes from the heart.

Aquarius Emotional chaos will set in if you let certain situations get to you. Do your own thing and give others the privilege of following the path that suits them best.

Virgo Make plans that will appeal to your intelligence as well as your emotions.

Getting together with people will lead to information that takes you by surprise.
