DESCRIPTION
The Daily Egyptian for July 12, 2012TRANSCRIPT
Cornfields in Wolf Lake show signs of wilting Tuesday because of record-setting drought that has hit the region. Nearly half of Illinois’ corn crop and 42 percent of soybeans are in very poor condition, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service weekly crop update released Monday. The U.S. Department of Agriculture released a report Wednesday that predicts only a fraction of the corn planted in the spring will produce this year. Many farmers are plowing down their crops to use the hay to feed livestock.

T he problem can be that not everyone takes a step back. Look at the big picture and not just look at your own personal situation, but think about others.

Aries — Today is an 8 — Achieve a long-held goal. Put the pedal to the metal and increase your earning capability. Watch for a communication breakdown before it boils over.
Taurus — Today is an 8 — Try again at something you failed at before, but add a new twist to guarantee success. Consider all options. Money for home improvements is available. Seek spiritual guidance.
Gemini — Today is a 7 — A new revelation helps you understand. Your partner or mate is more energized than you. Postpone arguments and compromise. Career advances may stall for the next few months.
Cancer — Today is a 6 — Take care of a breakdown and get rewarded. Accept more work at top dollar. Don’t know what to charge? Get a second opinion. Review your future plans.
Leo — Today is a 6 — Your work schedule gets busier. Jump into action. No time for gossip. Postpone a financial discussion. Limit wild speculation for pretty much the rest of the year.
Virgo — Today is a 7 — Contemplate changes to your personal space. Clear up things you no longer need. Put your imagination to work, and have fun while you’re at it. Renew old relationships.
Libra — Today is a 6 — Use what you’ve learned to cut costs efficiently. Don’t be afraid to ask for advice. Develop brilliant work habits over the next few months. Edit carefully.
Scorpio — Today is a 7 — Notice all the creative design. Beauty is closer than you think ... just look around. Benefits are more spiritual than tangible, and there are more than expected. Phone home.
Sagittarius — Today is an 8 — That’s another brilliant move on your part, but don’t get cocky. You may need assistance from an expert. It’s not all about you, so give your strength to others. Consider various options.
Capricorn — Today is a 6 — Surround yourself with beauty for inspiration. Children remind you to play. Don’t believe everything you think. For the next few months, practice, practice, practice.
Aquarius — Today is a 7 — Your mind moves quicker than usual. Friends help you solve great philosophical problems. Be cautious with your money for a while now. Mum’s the word.
Pisces — Today is a 6 — Challenges abound, but so do opportunities for growth. Don’t take what others say about you seriously, at least for now. Your sensitivity helps to generate peace.
