SALOME’S STARS HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You
don’t like rejection. But instead of
trying to “ram” your ideas through
to an unreceptive audience, stand
back and wait for a more favorable
environment later this month.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Job commitments call for the tidy
Taurean to charge into those prob-
lem-plagued projects and get them
into shape. Th en go ahead and enjoy
the fun and friendships of your
expanding social life.
by Dave T. Phipps
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Th e
pressures of the workplace are be-
ginning to ease. While you still need
to stay connected to your ongoing
commitments, you’ll be able to take
more time to relax with family and
friends.
by Jeff Pickering
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You
might feel that you need to prove
how much you can do. But be care-
ful not to take on more than you can
handle, or you risk being bogged
down. An Aries has a message for
you.

VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) You demand trust from others.
But someone is creating a situation
that could put your own trustwor-
thiness in question. Be sure to keep
all lines of communication open.

tion that you hoped to receive for
your hard work. But all will soon
be resolved. Remember to make
patience your watchword this week.

one at a time, and you’ll get through
them all.
ANSWERS
1. Junior Walker and
the All-Stars, in 1966,
on their “Road Run-
ner” album. Walker
played tenor sax but
couldn’t sing in the
key he played in,
requiring engineering
adjustments to bring
the two together.
2. Barbra Streisand
and Barry Gibb,
in 1981. Th e song
appeared on their
collaboration album.
3. Marianne Faithfull,
in 1964. Th e song
launched her career.
4. Th e Cars, in 1978.
5. “Eve of Destruc-
tion,” by Barry
McGuire in 1965. Th e
Vietnam War protest
song, written by P.F.
Sloan, went to No.
1 on the charts. Th e
original version was a
rough vocal done in
one take and wasn’t
intended to be re-
leased, but once a DJ
got hold of it, out into
the world it went.

LEO (July 23 to August 22)
Financially it could be a little tight
for a while. So resist the urge to
splurge on things you don’t really
need. Th ere will be time enough to
indulge yourself when the money
squeeze eases later this month.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) Work out situations
with what you have, and avoid the
temptation to create complications
where they don’t exist. Th is applies
both at home and in the workplace.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-
ary 18) Keep your keen senses open
to possible changes in personal and/
or professional situations. Knowing
what might lie ahead gives you an
edge on how to handle it.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)
Personal pressures at work could
create a problem with your perfor-
mance. Best advice: Focus on the job
ahead of you. If necessary, you can
deal with the other issue later.
BORN THIS WEEK: Like your
fellow Aquarian Abraham Lincoln,
you have a way of handling the most
diffi cult situations with grace and
conviction.
