FEATURES A14 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM BIZ BY DAVE BLAZEK POP CULTURE SHOCK THERAPY SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 2015 SPECTICKLES BY DOUG BRATTON BY BILL ABBOTT SALOME’S STARS HOROSCOPE R.F.D. BY MIKE MARLAND ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Don’t be put off by a seemingly too-tangled situation. Sometimes a simple procedure will unsnarl all the knots and get you in the clear fast and easy, just the way the Lamb likes it. AMBER WAVES BY DAVE T. PHIPPS TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good time to go through your work space -- wher- ever it is -- and see what needs to be replaced and what can be tossed (or at least given away) without a second thought. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Someone who disagrees with your position might try to intimidate you. But continue to present a fair argument, regardless of how petty someone else might be while trying to make a point. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might fi nd yourself exceptionally sensitive to family matters this week. An issue could come to light that you had overlooked. Ask other kinfolk to discuss it with you. THE SPATS BY JEFF PICKERING LEO (July 23 to August 22) You might have more questions about a project (or perhaps someone you’re dealing with on some level) than you feel comfortable with. If so, see which can be answered, which cannot, and why. A WING & A PRAYER BY BILL ABBOTT VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) It’s a good time to clean up and clear out what you don’t need before your tidy self is over- whelmed by “stuff .” Th en go celebrate the Vir- go victory over clutter with someone special. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might feel a mite confused about why some- thing you were sure couldn’t go wrong didn’t go all right either. Be patient. Th ings soon move into balance, exactly as you like it. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) At this decision point, you could be moving from side to side, just to say you’re in motion. Or you could be considering making a move straight up. What you choose is up to you. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to Decem- ber 21) Although your fi nances should be in an improved situation at this time, thrift is still the savvy Sagittarian’s smart move. Advice from a spouse or partner could be worth heeding. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Taking on a new challenge brings out the Goat’s skills in maneuvering over and around diffi cult spots. Best of all, the Goat does it one careful step aft er another. (Got the idea, Kid?) AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your well-known patience might be wearing thin because of a disturbing (and seemingly unending) problem with someone close to you. Th is could be a time to ask for help. Good luck. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Be careful about a new venture that lures you into a “just-look-and-see” mode. Be sure that what you’re being given to see isn’t hiding what you should be seeing instead. BORN THIS WEEK: Aries and Taurus give you the gift of leadership and the blessings of care and concern for all creatures.
