SALOME’S STARS HOROSCOPE
R.F.D. BY MIKE MARLAND
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You still
might have to deal with some lingering confu-
sion that marked a recent workplace situation.
But for the most part, you should now be well
on your way to your next project.
AMBER WAVES BY DAVE T. PHIPPS
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A new com-
mitment might demand more time than you’d
expected to have to give it. But rely on that
special Bovine gift for patience, and stick with
it. You’ll be glad you did.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re earning
the admiration of a lot of people who like the
way you handle yourself when your views are
on the line. Even one or two of your detrac-
tors are being won over.
THE SPATS BY JEFF PICKERING
A WING & A PRAYER BY BILL ABBOTT
someone you both respect if he or she would
act as an impartial arbitrator for both of you.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A
recent workplace accomplishment hasn’t been
overlooked by those who watch these things.
Meanwhile, start making travel plans for that
much-too-long-deferred trip with someone
special.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to Decem-
ber 21) Th ose money matters continue to
move in your favor. Now would be a good
time to start putting some money back into
the house, both for esthetic as well as econom-
ic reasons.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Taking your
responsibilities seriously is what you do. But
ease up on the pressure gauge, and make time
for much needed R & R. Start by making this
weekend a “just for fun” time zone.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January
19) A changing workplace environment can
create job pressures. But, once again, follow
the example of your birth sign and take things
a step at a time, like the sure-footed Goat you
are.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Some recent-
ly uncovered information might make a
change of plans inevitable. If so, deal with it
as quickly as possible, and then fi nd out what
went wrong and why. What you learn might
surprise you.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18)
Cheer up. You could soon have the funds you
need for your worthy project. Your generous
gift s of time and eff ort are well known, and
someone might decide it’s time to join with
you.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) As-
pects favor moving carefully and deliberately
when making any signifi cant changes. Could
be there are more facts you need to know,
which you might overlook if you rush things.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your in-
ner scam-catcher is right on target, and you’re
absolutely right to reject that “too good to be
true” off er. Meanwhile, something positive
should be making its way to you.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A
problem neighbor might be looking to goad
you into an action you don’t want to take. Ask
BORN THIS WEEK: You are generous, and
also sympathetic to people who fi nd they
need the help of others.
