SPECTICKLES
SALOME’S STARS HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Deciding to
work out that pesky problem (even though
you might have been bored, bored, bored
with it) should be paying off right about
now. Expect to hear some very welcome
news very soon.
by Dave T. Phipps
AMBER WAVES
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Unexpected
news might cause you to rethink a previous
conclusion. Don’t be bullheaded and try to
bluff it out. Make the needed change, and
then take a bow for your objectivity.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Money mat-
ters should be considered as you continue
to work out your holiday plans. This is a
good time to scout out discounts before
demand for them outstrips their availability.
THE SPATS
by Jeff Pickering
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A calm pe-
riod early in the week helps you complete
most, if not all, of your unfinished tasks. A
new project appears by midweek, and this
one could carry some big career potential.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Positive results
from recent ventures continue to pump
up those self-esteem levels, making you
Fabulous Felines feel you can tackle any
challenge anyone wants to throw at you.
DOGS OF C-KENNEL
by Mick & Mason Mastroianni
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22)
Family and friends might feel neglected
because of your almost total focus on a
project. Try to rework your schedule so you
can have time for both your loved ones and
your work.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22)
Don’t be surprised if you suddenly hear
FLASHBACK
by Ron Therien
from someone from your past who wants
to contact you about the possibility of
renewing a long-dormant (if not dead)
relationship.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21)
This is a good time to check over what
went right and what went wrong with recent
efforts. This can provide valuable lessons
for projects that will be coming up soon.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to De-
cember 21) Dealing with people who feel
they’re always right about everything might
be a problem for some. But the savvy
Archer should be able to deflate their
oversize egos.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January
19) This week favors a balance between
the demands of your work and your need
for fun timeouts. Taking breaks helps re-
store and keep your energy levels high.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18)
There could be an occasional setback in
what you’re working on. But look at them
as lessons on how to do better as you
move along. More supporters turn up to
cheer you on.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)
Although a more positive aspect influences
this week’s course, you still need to be
sure that those who will work with you have
no reason to work against you. Good luck.
BORN THIS WEEK: You believe in keep-
ing your promises. It’s not always easy to
do, but somehow you do it.

5. Name the song that contains this lyric: “You might have heard my footsteps echo softly in

ANSWERS
1. Marvin Gaye, in 1964. He even released a German-language version called “Wie Schon
Das Ist.”
2. The Righteous Brothers, in 1963. Composer Bill Medley said he wrote the song (in 1959)
because he dated a girl in high school named Lupe. It was the Àrst single the duo released.
3. The Beatles’ “Abbey Road” album, in 1969, written by George Harrison.
4. Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer, in 1979, in both 7- and 12-inch record versions.
5. “Elusive ButterÁy,” by Bob Lind in 1965. The song had an inauspicious start as the b-side
to Lind’s “Cheryl’s Goin’ Home,” but was launched when a deeMay accidentally Áipped the
record over. It reached No. 5 on the U.S. charts and No. 2 in Australia.
