ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

someone who seems to need

gorgeous Sheep’s eyes. You need
more facts.

ANSWERS
1. Th e Village People,
in 1978. Th e song has
been widely covered,
including a “Saturday
Night Live” parody,
“Matzo Man.”
2. Leonard Cohen, in
1967. Marianne was
Cohen’s muse until
her death in 2016.
Cohen died three
months later.
3. “Sounds of Silence”
(1965), “Mrs. Rob-
inson” (1968) and
“Bridge Over Trou-
bled Water” (1970).
4. Th e Brothers
Johnson, a Motown
R&B band, in 1976.
Th e song was later
covered by Vanessa

5. “She’s Out of My
Life,” by Michael Jack-
son. Jackson netted
four Top 10 hits from
his “Off the Wall”
album, including
this song, one of his
slowest ever. His tears
at the end of the song
were genuine. Every
one of the multiple
takes included tears,
so they produced the
song just that way.

OBITUARY POLICY
by Dave T. Phipps
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Feeling jealous over a colleague’s
success drains the energy you need
to meet your own challenges. Wish
him or her well, and focus on what
you need to do. Results start to show
in mid-March.
by Jeff Pickering
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
You’re likely to feel somewhat Crab-
by these days, so watch what you say,
or you could fi nd yourself making
lots of apologies. Your mood starts
to brighten by the weekend.

SUPER CROSSWORD: INTERNAL CAPITAL
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your
pride might still be hurting from
those unfl attering remarks some-
one made about you. But cheer up,
you’re about to prove once again
why you’re the Top Cat in whatever
you do.
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) A misunderstanding with a
co-worker could become a real
problem unless it’s resolved soon.
Allow a third party to come in and
assess the situation without pressure
or prejudice.
LIBRA (September 23 to Octo-
ber 22) Call a family meeting to
discuss the care of a loved one at this
diffi cult time. Be careful not to let
yourself be pushed into shouldering
the full burden on your own.
SCORPIO (October 23 to No-
vember 21) An upcoming decision
could open the way to an exciting
venture. However, there are some
risks you should know about. Ask
more questions before making a
commitment.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to
December 21) Personal matters
need your attention during the ear-
lier part of the week. You can start
to shift your focus to your workaday
world by midweek. Friday brings
news.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) You’ve been going at
a hectic pace for quite a while. It’s
time now for some much-needed
rest and recreation to recharge those
hardworking batteries.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) Th is is a good time
to upgrade your current skills or
consider getting into an entirely
diff erent training program so that
you can be prepared for new career
opportunities.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)
Keep a low profi le in order to avoid
being lured away from the job at
hand. Focus on what has to be done,
and do it. Th ere’ll be time later to en-
joy fun with family and friends.
BORN THIS WEEK: You can be a
dreamer and a realist. You dream of
what you would like to do, and then
you face the reality of how to do it.
