SALOME’S STARS HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Lots of mixed signals can create
an unreliable situation in which to
make decisions. Best advice: Hold
off on making any commitments
until you’re sure you know what’s
going on.

LAFF-A-DAY
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) An
apparently friendly off er comes with
some strings attached. Be careful not
to get tied into something you don’t
really want. Th oroughly examine
all your options before making a
choice.
by Dave T. Phipps
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) If
you’re not careful, distractions can
interrupt your best eff orts. Continue
to focus on what you need to do.
You’ll soon have lots of time to enjoy
the rewards of your dedication.
by Jeff Pickering
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Knowledge replaces suspicion as
you begin to learn more about that
“act of betrayal.” On a lighter note,
someone close to you might be
planning a pleasant surprise.

mances of the song al-

bled Water,” by Simon

SUPER CROSSWORD: THE SCIENCE OF TRUMPETERS
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Control
your sometimes-overactive jealousy
gene before you fi nd yourself saying
or doing something that you could
later regret. Best advice: Stop obsess-
ing and move on.
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) It’s a good time to loosen up
and do something wonderful and
exciting before your more reserved
nature resurfaces. A message brings
news of imminent change.
LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) Cheer up. Th ings begin to
improve signifi cantly by mid-Feb-
ruary. However, you might still need
help to get through the rest of this
sometimes-diffi cult period.
SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-
ber 21) Something you learned last
week takes on new meaning as you
begin to relate it to another situation
in your life. It’s best to keep this
matter to yourself for now.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to
December 21) Your energy level is
climbing, and so is your self-confi -
dence. Good for you, because you’ll
need a good dollop of both to tackle
an exciting challenge on the way.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) A family issue might
interrupt a career-linked project. Try
to give the matter the attention it
needs, but be careful not to jeopar-
dize your workplace situation.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-
ary 18) Some self-doubt shows up
this week, causing you to question
your ability to handle a new chal-
lenge. But you know you can do it,
and this is your chance to prove it.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)
A personal matter requires you to be
as clear and forthcoming as possible
in order to avoid misunderstand-
ings. A career move is eased with the
emergence of new facts.
BORN THIS WEEK: You have a
way of reaching people that makes
them feel good about themselves.
You would be an excellent motiva-
tional speaker.
