SALOME’S STARS HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) h e
week promises a calmer aspect.
Although there might be some
lingering ef ects of a recent job
problem, things should continue to
ease up. Also expect a change in a
home-based situation.
AMBER WAVES
by Dave T. Phipps
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A
family get-together opens up new
opportunities for renewing ties. It
can be especially ef ective in dealing
with disagreements that should have
been, but never were, fully resolved.
by Jeff Pickering
THE SPATS
LAFF-A-DAY
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) If
you feel uneasy about a colleague’s
suggestion, it might be that your
wise inner Taurean guide is alerting
you to a potential problem. Stepping
away could turn out to be the right
thing to do.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You
might be surprised at the response
you get to a recent decision. You
might be even more surprised by
the reasons behind it. In any event,
you’ll learn something important.
FLASHBACK
SUPER CROSSWORD: A DOZEN TO CHOOSE FROM
by Mick Harper
1. Who released “Be-
Bop Baby,” and when?
2. Which group re-
leased “Electricland”?
3. Who wrote and
recorded “See the
Funny Little Clown”
in 1963?
4. Name the artist
who wrote and
released “Song Sung
Blue.”
5. What song contains
this lyric: “My father
sits at night with no
lights on, His cigarette
glows in the dark. h e
living room is still; I
walk by, no remark”?
CRYPTOQUIP
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) Avoid repeating yourself. If
your fi rst few ef orts fail to connect,
maybe it’s because you haven’t found
the right way to get your message
across. Try changing your approach.
LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) Good intentions plus a strong
resolve to succeed can take you
where you want to go. Don’t give up
just because someone suggests you
might be pursuing an impossible
cause.
SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-
ber 21) An unexpected setback can
be a blessing in disguise. Use it to
recheck your facts and how you’ve
presented them. Meanwhile, look
for ways to expand your contacts.
