ARIES A vacation plan is definitely taking shape. Even though it’s a few months away, it’s already time to start preparing, even if it’s just to renew your passport. TAURUS You may witness a form of injustice that causes many around you to react. You could play a fairly big role in restoring harmony and peace. GEMINI You don’t tolerate injustice very well, and so you want to resolve the situation on your own. You might want to act as policeman and judge, but some tact will be required. CANCER You work energetically and me- ticulously towards reaching an agreement or signing a contract. Anxiety and insomnia might be on the agenda, but so is resoun- ding success. LEO You are entrusted with a position of power at work. Before your health plays tricks on you, learn how to manage your emotions and give appropriate vent to them as you make your way. VIRGO A new diet combined with some exercise gives you immediate re- sults. You are extremely satisfied and very proud of yourself. LIBRA You are articulate and you succeed in speaking your mind. You might be quick to criticize things, though. Be careful not to make too many inappropriate comments. SCORPIO It is important to carefully check all your bills if you’re in a difficult fi- nancial situation at the moment. You might find an error and make some big savings. SAGITTARIUS You participate in a personal or pro- fessional activity that rallies your competitive spirit.You don’t have any intention of coming in second, and you’re sure to reap all the honours. CAPRICORN You may need to get a little more exercise if fatigue tends to over- whelm you. A new lifestyle gives you more energy as well as a more active social life. AQUARIUS Stress isn’t always negative! It can give you the motivation to accom- plish some brilliant exploits. Take the time to balance the different areas of your life. PISCES Some elements fall into place, let- ting you start your own small busi- ness or rise to a position of power. You discover that you have great leadership skills.

Beat all ingredients except frosting, syrup, waffle bowls and fruit snack in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasion- ally. Pour into pan. Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours. Place cake on serving plate. Stir together frosting and syrup; reserve 60 ml (1/4 cup) of the frosting. Spread remaining frosting over cake. For straw hat: Place 1 waffle bowl upside down in centre of cake. Stack 5 more bowls on first bowl. For hair, cut fruit snack into fourteen 15 cm (6 in) strips and fourteen 12.5 cm (5 in) strips. Cut each strip lengthwise to within 2.5 cm (1 in) of top of strip.
