SALOME’S STARS HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

time and eff ort.

LAFF-A-DAY
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

you’ve been considering.
by Dave T. Phipps
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
You might have to be extra careful
to protect that surprise you have

ing to share.
by Jeff Pickering
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Family ties are strong this week,

BRING YOUR OWN
BUILDER FOR YOUR
DREAM HOME OR WE
CAN DESIGN AND
BUILD A CUSTOM
HOME TO MEET YOUR
NEEDS.
Come be a part of the Neighborhood!
LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) Don’t hide your talents. It’s a
good time to show what you can
do to impress people who can do a
lot for you. A dispute with a family
member might still need some
smoothing over.
SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-
ber 21) Be open with your col-
leagues about your plan to bring a
workplace matter out into the open.
You’ll want their support, and they’ll
want to know how you’ll pull it off .
Either way, each home
design will be reviewed
in order to ensure that
the sustainability and
design vision for Sunset
Estates is preserved.
Located near future
elementary school. 2
homes currently under
construction. Additional
lots available.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to
December 21) Trying to patch up
an unraveling relationship is oft en
easier said than done. But it helps
to discuss and work out any prob-
lems that arise along the way.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) While your creative
aspect remains high this week, you
might want to call on your practical
side to help work out the why and
wherefore of an upcoming decision.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to Feb-
ruary 18) Dealing with someone’s
disappointment can be diffi cult for
Aquarians, who always try to avoid
giving pain. But a full explanation
and a show of sympathy can work
wonders.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)
Getting a job-related matter past some
major obstacles should be easier this
week. A personal situation might take
a surprising but not necessarily unwel-
come turn by the week’s end.
BORN THIS WEEK: You can be
both a dreamer and a doer. You
consider helping others to be an
important part of your life.

Although the Lion might see it as
an act of loyalty and courage to
hold on to an increasingly shaky
position, it might be wiser to make
changes now to prevent a possible
meltdown later.
