SALOME’S STARS HOROSCOPE
BY MIKE MARLAND
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A bit of Arian
contrariness could be keeping you from
getting all the facts. Turn it off , and tune in to
what you need to hear. It could make all the
diff erence this week.
AMBER WAVES
BY DAVE T. PHIPPS
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Getting an
answer to a vital question involving fi nancial
matters might take longer than you’d expect-
ed. A new factor might have to be dealt with
before anything can move forward. Be patient.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Use your good
sense to see what might really be driving a
colleague’s workplace agenda. What you learn
could lead to a new way of handling some old
problems.
THE SPATS

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A change of
mind might once again turn out to be a good
thing. True, most of your co-workers might

never easy. But the sooner you’re able to clear
up this problem, the sooner other problems
can be successfully handled.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21)
A “friend” who is willing to bend the rules to
gain an advantage for both of you is no friend.
Reject the off er and stay on your usual straight
and narrow path.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to Decem-
ber 21) Aft er all the eff ort you’ve been putting
in both on the job and for friends and family,
it’s a good time to indulge your own needs.
Th e weekend could bring a pleasant surprise.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January
19) You might want to do something new this
weekend. Close your eyes and imagine what it
could be, and then do it, or come up with the
closest practical alternative.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18)
Your good deeds bring you the appreciation
you so well deserve. But, once again, be care-
ful of those who might want to exploit your
generous nature for their own purposes.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Trolling
for compliments isn’t necessary. You earned
them, and you’ll get them. Concentrate this
week on moving ahead into the next phase of
your program.
