SALOME’S STARS HOROSCOPE
R.F.D. BY MIKE MARLAND
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Still operating
under a full head of self-esteem makes you
want to tackle a matter you had shied away
from. OK. But be sure to arm yourself with
facts before you make a move.
AMBER WAVES BY DAVE T. PHIPPS
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) That smart
move you recently made caught the attention
of a lot of people, including some with finan-
cial deals to offer. Use your Taurean wariness
to check them out thoroughly.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Shyness might
keep you from asking for more information
on a potentially important matter. But your
curiosity grows stronger by midweek and
gives you the impetus for data-gathering.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Taking on too
many tasks may not be the wise thing to do
at this time. You might overspend both your
physical and emotional energy reserves, and
have to miss out on some upcoming events.
THE SPATS BY JEFF PICKERING
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Try to keep your
spending at an affordable level. Splurging now
-- especially on credit -- could create a prob-
lem if your finances are too low for you to take
advantage of a possible opportunity.
A WING & A PRAYER BY BILL ABBOTT
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You
might not approve of a colleague’s behavior
during much of the week. But don’t play the
judgmental Virgo card here. As always, check
the facts before you assume the worst.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22)
Coping with an old issue that has suddenly
re-emerged could take a big toll on your emo-
tional energies. Decide whether you really
want to pursue the possibilities here.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) For
all your skill in keeping your secrets safe, you
could be unwittingly letting one slip out by the
way you’re behaving in that new relationship.
Are congratulations soon to be in order?
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to De-
cember 21) Good old-fashioned horse
sense could help you get around those who
unknowingly or deliberately put obstacles in
your way. Ignore the confusion and follow
your own lead.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January
19) A puzzling attitude change in a colleague
from friendly to chilly might stem from a
long-hidden resentment suddenly bubbling
up. An open and honest talk should resolve
the problem.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18)
This week, many ever-generous Aquarians
might find themselves feeling an acquisitive
urge. If so, indulge it. You’ve earned the right
to treat yourself to wonderful things.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Expect
to get a lot of advice on how to go about
implementing your plans. But once you’ve
sorted it all out, you’ll probably find that,
once again, your way will be the best way.
BORN THIS WEEK: You enjoy the quiet
times of your life, but when you’re in the
mood, you can throw a party everyone will
want to go to.
