SALOME’S STARS HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Temper your typical Aries urge to
charge into a situation and demand
answers. Instead, let the Lamb’s
gentler self emerge to deal with a
problem that requires delicacy.
AMBER WAVES
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You
are aware of what’s going on, so
continue to stand by your earlier de-
cision, no matter how persuasive the
counterarguments might be. Money
pressures soon will ease.
by Dave T. Phipps
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) By
all means, have fun and enjoy your
newly expanded social life. But don’t
forget that some people are depend-
ing on you to keep promises that are
very important to them.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You
need to wait patiently for an answer
to a workplace problem and not
push for a decision. Remember:
Time is on your side. A fi nancial
matter needs closer attention.
SUPER CROSSWORD: KP DUTY
LEO (July 23 to August 22) You now
have information that can infl uence
that decision you planned to make.
But the clever Cat will consult a
trusted friend or family member
before making a major move.
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) Good news: You’re fi nding that
more doors are opening for you
to show what you can do, and you
don’t even have to knock very hard
to get the attention you’re seeking.
LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) Your gift for creating order out
of chaos will help you deal with a
sudden rush of responsibilities that
would threaten someone less able to
balance his or her priorities.
SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-
ber 21) Congratulations. Your ener-
gy levels are coming right back up
to normal -- just in time to help you
tackle some worthwhile challenges
and make some important choices.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to
December 21) Th e sage Sagittarian
should demand a full explanation
of inconsistencies that might be
cropping up in what had seemed to
be a straightforward deal.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) A confl ict between
obligations to family and to the job
can create stressful problems. Best
advice: Balance your dual priorities
so that one doesn’t outweigh the
other.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to Feb-
ruary 18) Don’t guess, speculate or
gossip about that “mystery” situation
at the workplace. Bide your time.
An explanation will be forthcoming
very soon.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)
Boredom might be creeping in and
causing you to lose interest in a re-
peat project. Deal with it by fl ipping
over your usual routine and fi nding
a new way to do an old task.
BORN THIS WEEK: You can
warm the coldest heart with your
lyrical voice and bright smile. You
fi nd yourself at home, wherever you
are.
