FRIDAY, MAY 7, 2021
YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder
Born today, you are a sensitive, insightful
and feeling individual who is not likely to
hide from situations that tap into your emo-
tional nature -- but rather you will actively
seek out situations that bring out your more
complex feelings about yourself and the
world in which you live. It is not enough,
however, to feel things; you want to express
those feelings as fully and as richly as you
possibly can.
SATURDAY, MAY 8
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone is
looking out for you and has been for quite
some time, though you may not have known
it. Today, his or her help becomes apparent.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You’re wait-
ing for your turn, but you’re not sure how to
fill the time. Go over plans, and be sure that
everything is properly in place!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can
FRIDAY, MAY 7, 2021
make just enough time at several junctures
during the day to get a major task done one
part at a time. Don’t try it all at once!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You won’t be able
to do all that you had set your sights on today,
so you must prioritize. Someone’s needs may
have to come first.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- There are
several people waiting on you today, but you
must finish what you started yesterday before
giving them the attention they desire.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A technical
concern may keep you from doing something
the way you’ve always wanted to do it. Still, an
alternative proves satisfying today.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The
moment you start today, you’ll feel as though
something special is happening -- and indeed
it is. Much that is memorable can happen!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Just
because you’re doing something the way
someone has instructed you doesn’t mean
you understand the motive. Be sure to ask!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You
can speed through one or two preliminary
tasks today before settling into the main
event, which is almost sure to be a long haul
for you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You’ll be
dealing with many people who have a lot of
talent -- and those who don’t needn’t get in
your way. Focus on the positive!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Listen to
what the experts have to say, and then exper-
iment with your own methods. Even if some-
one tells you “no,” there’s room to improvise.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may
have to struggle through watching someone
fail not once, but twice or perhaps three
times, before you can step in and help out.

Trust and Note, the beneficiary is allowed to conduct property inspections while property is in default.

referenced property. Without limiting the trustee’s disclaimer of representations or warranties, Oregon
law requires the trustee to state in this notice that some residential property sold at a trustee’s sale may
have been used in manufacturing methamphetamines, the chemical components of which are known
to be toxic. Prospective purchasers of residential property should be aware of this potential danger
before deciding to place a bid for this property at the trustee’s sale. The Fair Debt Collection Practice
Act requires that we state the following: This is an attempt to collect a debt, and any information ob-
tained will be used for that purpose. If a discharge has been obtained by any party through bankruptcy
proceedings: This shall not be construed to be an attempt to collect the outstanding indebtedness or
hold you personally liable for the debt.
