SPECTICKLES
SALOME’S STARS HOROSCOPE
BY MIKE MARLAND
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Th is could
be the time to try soothing whatever bad
feelings might be lingering ‘twixt and among
colleagues, friends or family members. But be
sure you do so without favoring any side.
AMBER WAVES
BY DAVE T. PHIPPS
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) An idea is
only an idea until you put that clever Bovine
mind to work to develop it from concept
to substance. Th is could lead to something
rewarding, both emotionally and monetarily.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Th e early part
of the week could have some disconcert-
ing moments, but approaching them with
a calm, unruffl ed attitude goes a long way
toward helping to get things nicely settled
down.
THE SPATS
BY BILL ABBOTT
BY JEFF PICKERING
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Getting used
to change continues to mark much of the
week. But accepting what you have to do
makes adapting that much easier. A welcome
visitor could turn up sooner than expected.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Learning how
to live with a decision is a challenge, but one
you Leos and Leonas could really enjoy. You’ll
also be pleased to see your social life take that
upsurge you’ve been hoping for.
DOGS OF C-KENNEL
BY MICK & MASON MASTROIANNI
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Use
your perceptive Virgo instinct to help you see
the positive aspects of what, at fi rst, appears
to be a disappointment. You could fi nd that it
proves to be quite the contrary.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your
FLASHBACK
AGAINST THE GRAIN
BY RON THERIEN
ability to maintain a balance between sense
and sentiment once again helps you sort
through apparently confl icting choices and
ultimately arrive at the right decision.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21)
Before you seek the advice of colleagues about
a potential career move, you might be better
off getting counsel from someone who won’t
be aff ected by the choices you make.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to Decem-
ber 21) It can be a challenging week for some
relationships if the normal give-and-take
fl ow changes with one side doing most of the
giving and the other the taking.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19)
A new opportunity could bring with it much
anticipation along with some anxiety. Take
time to sort out your options as well as your
emotional considerations.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18)
Are you sure you have all the facts you need
to let that matter move to another level? Don’t
be rushed into a decision unless and until you
feel it’s the right thing to do.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Pace
yourself as you prepare to take on that more
demanding project. Be careful not to let your
energy reserves drain away. Take time to relax
with people close to you.
BORN THIS WEEK: You have the ability
to see both sides of a situation. You would do
well as a counselor or a judge.
