AMBER WAVES BY DAVE T. PHIPPS
SALOME’S STARS HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Mixed signals
could create problems. Make sure your views
are presented clearly, and insist others do the
same. Don’t let an unanswered question go by
without a full explanation.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Financial
pressures ease, allowing for more budget
flexibility. But as the money-wise Bovine will
appreciate, thrift still beats out splurging.
Expect news from someone special.
THE SPATS BY JEFF PICKERING
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Getting things
done is what you do so well. But be careful not
to overtax your energy reserves. Take time out
to relax or to do something different to help
keep them at optimum levels.
OUT ON A LIMB BY GARY KOPERVAS
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a good
time to satisfy the Moon Child’s growing
sense of wanderlust. Choose a really special
place to go to, with a very special person to
share it all with you.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) You love being
in the spotlight. But be careful it doesn’t blind
you to the truth behind a seemingly wonder-
ful opportunity. Look closer and you might be
sadly surprised at what you find.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Isn’t it
time to take a break from your hectic sched-
ule? Sure it is. And the sooner you do, the
sooner you can return fresh and more than
ready to take on all those new projects.
R.F.D. BY MIKE MARLAND
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A
recent family incident can help bring every-
one closer, and there’s no one who’s better at
making that happen than you. Accept (in-
deed, insist on!) help from others to get things
off and running.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21)
Long-held habits are often difficult to break.
But the change from how you always did
things to how you can do them now can be
liberating. So, be flexible and give it a try.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December
21) Someone you met in your professional world
last year and thought you would never hear from
again could make a sudden reappearance in your
life, along with an interesting job offer.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19)
Once again, you delight everyone by coming
up with a solution for a problem that actually
works. On another note, it’s not too early to
get started on those travel plans.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18)
Before you go ahead with finalizing your
plans for your new project, check them over
to see if you can make some improvements or
if you can find ways to cut costs.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) The Fab-
ulous Fish might have been out of the social
swim for too long, and it’s time you plunge
back in. Reinforce your old friendships and be
open to starting new ones.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your creative talents
help bring beauty to the world and the people
in it. On their behalf, thank you.
