SALOME’S STARS HOROSCOPE
BY MIKE MARLAND
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Don’t gnash
those pearly whites because you might have
to delay your plans. Th is could give the Lucky
Lamb a better perspective of what’s been
done, and what still needs doing.
AMBER WAVES
BY DAVE T. PHIPPS
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Scoring
fi nancial bull’s-eyes is easy for the focused
Bovine who knows the ins and outs of the
marketplace. But even with your success
record, caution is still the watchword.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Watch that
tendency to over-romanticize a situation that
should be given closer scrutiny. Better to be
suspicious now and ask for an explanation, or
face a sad surprise later.
THE SPATS
BY BILL ABBOTT
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Bruised
self-confi dence can make things diffi cult

it takes. Ignore the critics and concentrate on
believing in yourself. Good luck.

Save any variations for a later time. Th e musi-
cal arts are important this weekend.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19)
Reject advice to cut corners in reaching your
goal. Better to take a little more time to do the
job as you promised. You’ll gain new respect
for your honesty and integrity.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18)
Don’t allow a troublesome situation to grow
so big that it will be increasingly diffi cult to
deal with. Th e sooner you speak up, the soon-
er everyone will be able to benefi t.

fronting someone who is making a lot of
