SPECTICKLES
SALOME’S STARS HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might
be growing impatient with a situation that
seems to resist efforts to resolve it. But
staying with it raises the odds that you’ll
find a way to a successful resolution.
AMBER WAVES
by Dave T. Phipps
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Travel and
kinship are strong in the Bovine’s aspect
this week. This would be a good time to
combine the two and take a trip to see fam-
ily members for a pre-holiday get-together.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A colleague
could make a request you’re not comfort-
able with. If so, say so. Better to disappoint
someone by sticking with your principles
than disappoint yourself if you don’t.
THE SPATS
by Jeff Pickering
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Moon
Child’s ability to adapt to life’s ebbs and
Àows helps you deal with the changes that
you might confront at work or at home, or
both. Things settle down by the week’s end.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a good
week for Leos and Leonas to get some
long-outstanding business matters re-
solved. Then go ahead and plan a fun-filled
family getaway weekend with the mate and
the cubs.

along the way, but at least you’re heading
in the right direction. You win praise for
your choices.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21)
You could be pleasantly surprised by how
a decision about one thing opens up an un-
expected new option. Also, assistance on a
project could come from a surprising source.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to Decem-
ber 21) With more information to work with,
you might now be able to start the process
that could lead to a major change. Reserve
the weekend for family and friends.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January
19) This could be a good time to begin
gathering information that will help you turn
that long-held idea into something substan-
tive. A personal matter might need extra
attention.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February
18) That new challenge might carry some
surprises. But you should be able to handle
them using what you already know. That
new supporter should be there to lend
assistance.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A
possible workplace change seems promis-
ing. If you decide to look into it, try not to
form an opinion on just a small part of the
picture: Wait for the full image to develop.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)
Someone might be trying to disguise his or
her true motives. But the perceptive and
perspicacious Pisces should have little
or no problem finding the truth in all that
foggy rhetoric.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22)
A newcomer helps keep things moving.
There might be some bumpy moments
BORN THIS WEEK: You can always rely
on your people skills to help you find solu-
tions to problems others often give up on.
