SOCIETY wears on-air, Liz seems to keep people talking.

They are interested in what she will do next and seemingly love it all every step of the way. Many people would be surprised to know that Liz uses very affordable products. “I have naturally wavy hair, and it can be hard to deal with sometimes.

My favorite hair product right now is this Suave Keratin leave-in conditioner. It’s about $3 and I just love it!”

In a world that can be full of serious issues, turning on the news can be depressing to some.

Liz and her team at Fox 25 have mastered the balance of reporting the news and allowing their viewers to escape the “doom and gloom” factor while they start their day. Liz says, “I will never be the voice of Walter Cronkite. I love breaking stories, but I also love to start people’s day off right with some lighthearted fun and happiness in the morning.”

Liz Dueweke is a culmination of sweet humility, unexpected surprises, and an amazing spirit.

foot down when others’ demands are weighing too heavily upon you.

GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20) After the 8th, you can effectively let go of a situation that has bothered you for some time, but releasing yourself from the past is not just a practical affair. You need to engage your mind in other things so that you don’t keep slipping back into the way things were. This is a new month in which you can look forward and let go of any guilt or shame.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22) You are not happy with your finances at present, but you need to take a hands-on approach to fixing things so that your debt doesn’t spiral out of control. There may be the necessity to speak to your bank manager or financial adviser to sort out a budget, but if you keep sweeping this issue under the rug, nothing will get done. A fortunate meeting between the 8th and 10th could resolve many of these issues.

LEO (JULY 23 - AUGUST 22) It’s important for you to clarify your value system and reinstate order in your budget. Money doesn’t grow on trees, but you haven’t told your friends that this is the case. Is it any wonder everyone keeps putting their hand out, begging you to solve their financial dilemmas? This month avoid confrontations, but by the same token put your 48

so6ix.com | MAY 2012

VIRGO (AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22) You’ve had to backtrack in your relationships recently, and this has made you feel as if you are simply treading water. Moving forward can now take place, but only because you’ve had to assert yourself in ways that has made others feel uncomfortable. This is out of character for you, but you are quickly learning that making yourself heard (sometimes loudly so) is the only way to get things done.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 - OCTOBER 22) Unless you’re prepared to listen to your body signals closely, you’re not effectively going to take control of your health and well-being. You are torn between taking full responsibility for the improvement of the condition and just putting it in the hands of medical practitioners who will simply dose you up with pharmaceuticals. You have a choice now to manage your strength and vigour by eating well, exercising, and having a positive mental attitude. These things will improve your health.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 21) Trying to get a general consensus from those

S AT I R E

TAURUS (APRIL 20 - MAY 20) You need to disable your calendar and other devices that disturb your peace of mind and concentration. In work matters, the 16th til the 30th will be a period in which you can effectively push your own agenda and try something very different indeed. Others may oppose you at first, but your persistence will give you the success you desire. And you’ll be able to say “I told you so.” around you by being nice often doesn’t work.

People will take advantage of you if they think they can get you to do most of the work and then take the credit for it. That can change, but you need to respect yourself more and understand that negotiations should begin with you being in a position of power first. Forget about approaching others with cap in hand. Ditch the cap, and assert your authority in any negotiations.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 21) Even though you are happy to explore new avenues of professional creativity, you still need to be just that little more experimental at present.

You want to experience life on the cutting edge, and you may have the opportunity to do so because after the 17th an unusual person may come into your life and change the way you see things. It’s important, however, not to mix business with pleasure and to stick to a more conservative approach in social matters.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 19) Haste makes waste, so listen to a work colleague who may have a completely different spin on how you can improve your cash flow and come out on top just now. You might not have given this person too much credence before, but you will be surprised when the gems of monetary wisdom come flowing out of their mouths. You have a taste for expensive luxuries at present and need to know your limits for the time being.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 18) If you need time out, it’s probably best to do it this month as you are in a bio-rhythmic “low”. Part of the issue stems from your being over emotional about work deadlines and expectations that others have of you just now. You’re pushing yourself beyond your limits. However, you do have the thumbs up to disappear for a little while during which time you can recharge your “low batt” and come back fresh and revitalized, ready for action once again.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 - MARCH 20) Someone may put the hard word on you this month, which relates to either assistance with your time or worse, your money. Being courteous and at the same time making it clear that you are not in any position to extend loans to others will be an interesting balancing act for you. The art of diplomacy seems to be high on your agenda during the coming weeks. You don’t need to elaborate, but simply and politely refuse.

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19) If boundaries in your relationships have remained unchanged, you will be looking at taking the next step to clearly define what’s acceptable and what’s not. Someone may have been taking liberties with you. Between the 4th and 10th, you will have had enough and want to set the record straight.

Having done that, you will feel much more respect from your significant other or close friend. so6ix.com | MAY 2012
