JACKSON HOLE: FEWER SALES, HIGHER PRICES

While the median sale price for homes in the Jackson Hole area rose 86 percent in the first quarter compared to the year before, the number of those real estate sales dropped 25 percent, the Jackson Hole News & Guide reported.

Horoscopes

  • Aries
    • You certainly add steam and fun to most situations. You could also be unusually assertive when dealing with a child or loved one. A reversal could only be temporary, but not as short as you would like. Use your imagination with a child. Tonight: You will need all the rest you can get.

  • Taurus
    • You see many other people differently than the majority do. Don't push a family member or roommate, unless you want a bigger problem. Understanding comes forward when talking with an expert. Tonight: Adapt plans.

  • Gemini
    • See what is going on with a partner before you make a decision. You could be making mountains out of molehills. Listen to feedback and be graceful about accepting criticism. Verbal sparring becomes more likely. Tonight: Treat yourself well.

  • Cancer
    • You might want to rethink a decision. Consider options that come forward when investigating different ways of handling a problem. Use care with spending. Understand your limits. Tonight: Get into the Friday-night celebrations.

  • Leo
    • You suddenly decide enough is enough and opt for a different path. How you deal with someone could change dramatically. Anger and frustration start surfacing. Look for the most appropriate way of dealing with this issue. Tonight: Take some downtime.

  • Virgo
    • Stop and check in with yourself. What was OK previously might no longer be. Is it possible your focus on a loved one is so great that you cannot see clearly? Romance could be active if you are single. Friends might push hard. Tonight: In the midst of gaining new insight.

  • Libra
    • A friend might push you hard. Anger easily could be the end result if you aren't careful. Prioritize, and you will feel much better. Learn to say no as well. A must appearance demands your attention. Tonight: Pickup where others let off.

  • Scorpio
    • Someone might push you beyond your limits. He or she could be very sorry, but ultimately so might you. Detach as soon as you feel uncomfortable and gain deeper insight. Your sense of humor will help. Tonight: Follow the music.

  • Sagittarius
    • Work with someone directly. Do necessary digging. Look for the story behind the story. You'll find answers quickly and effectively. Togetherness emerges as the best way to deal with a problem. Tonight: Dinner with a favorite person.

  • Capricorn
    • You might want to defer to others. Some people might be difficult to deal with, especially one particular person who might have a heavy influence on you. You might get a second run at an offer that you thought was impossible. Tonight: Sort through your options.

  • Aquarius
    • Someone comes in hard, fast and possibly angry. You might wonder what you did to deserve this attitude or behavior. Lie back and do your thing, knowing that you cannot control someone else. Tonight: Off to the gym or get some exercise

  • Pisces
    • Let your creativity speak, and you'll come up with many ideas. Mobilize now to take action. What others think might not be that important. Review facts. A friend might need some space for now. Tonight: As if there is no tomorrow.
