SALOME’S STARS HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Th e
typically tidy Ram or Ewe might
want to butt out until things are
settled on the home front. But get
involved and let your Ovine sense
of order help restore domestic
tranquility.
AMBER WAVES
THE SPATS
LAFF-A-DAY
FLASHBACK
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Th e
Bovine’s fl air for fi ne-tuning compli-
cated fi scal dealings comes in handy
when an unexpected fi nancial
problem arises. Stay with it until it’s
resolved to your satisfaction.
by Dave T. Phipps
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Family aspects remain strong. Th ere
might be some unresolved diffi -
culties, but continued attempts to
smooth things over eventually prove
to be successful. A major purchase
looms.
by Jeff Pickering
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A
promise that was made but never
kept suddenly re-emerges in your
life. You now have to decide if you’re
still interested in what it off ers or if
you’ve moved past it.
SUPER CROSSWORD: THE FIRST REVERSED
by Mick Harper
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) You need to take a much-needed
break from that demanding project
before too much energy-drain-

ashamed to ask for help.
1. Who was Stewball?
2. Who penned and
recorded “Funny
How Time Slips
Away”?

gin’ the Line.”

“Don’t Cry for Me
Argentina”?
5. Name the song that

alone.”
SUDOKU
DIFFICULTY THIS WEEK
LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) Change makes demands that
you might fi nd unwelcome at this
time. But instead of concentrating
on the short run, look toward
potential benefi ts down the road.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) You have a gift
for reviving projects that seem
beyond repair. Use that same abil-
ity to restore a relationship that
seems to have turned from loving
to lifeless.
1. A British race-
horse born in 1741
and immortalized
in song in 1784. On
this side of the At-
lantic, versions of
the song have been
done by Woodie
Guthrie, The Weav-
ers and Peter, Paul
and Mary.
2. Willie Nelson.
He got his first
guitar at age 6 and
was in a band by
the age of 10. He
played honky tonks
to earn money as a
way of staying out
of the cotton fields.
3. Tommy James,
in 1971. This was
his first big solo
hit after he left the
Shondells.
4. Julie Covington,
1976. It was later
used in the musical
“Evita.”
5. “He’ll Have to
Go,” by Jim Reeves
in 1959. The song
was issued as a
b-side, but took off
on its own, topping
the country chart
for 14 straight
weeks. Billboard
ranked it as the No.
2 song for 1960.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Ro-
mance comes to unattached Leos
and Leonas who have been waiting
for Cupid to target them for far too
long. Domestic purr-fection is also
enhanced for paired Felines.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to
December 21) Expect to be asked
to use your combined wisdom
and humor to resolve a problem.
Aft er all, folks not only value your
advice, they also like how you
give it.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) Most people consider
you solid and steady. But you also
can be quite capricious (which is
a Latin word for “describing the
behavior of Goats”) when it suits
your needs.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) People treat you as
you wish to be treated. So if you
want a change in your relation-
ship, make it happen. Also expect
someone to reveal some long-
held secrets.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) Stay with the decision you
made, despite a sudden torrent
of advice to the contrary from
well-meaning people. Remember:
You know your needs better than
anyone.
BORN THIS WEEK: You like
things tidy, with no loose ends.
You also enjoy research and
would make an excellent investi-
gative reporter or scientist.
