JUST LIKE CATS & DOGS

SALOME’S STARS HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A
stubborn refusal to go ahead on a
project mystifi es colleagues who
expected more fl exibility. But once
you explain your position, they’ll
understand and even applaud you.
AMBER WAVES
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A
relationship seems to be stuck in
the same place. Now it’s up to you,
dear Bovine, to decide how far
you want it to go and how intense
you want it to be. Choose well and
choose soon.
by Dave T. Phipps
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
A relationship progresses more
slowly than you would prefer. Best
advice: Insist on a frank and open
discussion. What is learned could
change minds and, maybe, hearts.
THE SPATS
LAFF-A-DAY
FLASHBACK
by Jeff Pickering
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It’s
all right to be grateful to a work-
place colleague who has done
you a good turn. But gratitude
shouldn’t be a life-long obligation.
Th e time to break this cycle is
now.
SUPER CROSSWORD: PREFIXES SUFFIXED
by Mick Harper
SUDOKU
DIFFICULTY THIS WEEK
1. Who released
“Lady Willpower,”
and when?
2. Which artist wrote
and released “Clair”?
3. Name the fi rst
British recording to
ever hit No. 1 on the
Billboard Hot 100.
4. Which artist
released his sixth
album with the title
“Aladdin Sane”?
5. Name the song
that contains this
lyric: “You don’t
need diamond rings,
Or 18-karat gold,
Fancy cars that go
very fast, You know
they never last, no,
no.”
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) Before you make a commit-
ment on any level (personal, pro-
fessional, legal), get all the facts.
Th ere might be hidden problems
that could cause trouble later on.
ANSWERS:
1. Gary Puckett &
Th e Union Gap, in
1968. Th e group
wore Civil War
Union Army uni-
forms on stage.
2. Gilbert O’Sullivan,
in 1972. Th e love
song seems at fi rst
to be written to an
adult ... until a small
child giggles at the
end.
3. “Stranger on the
Shore,” originally
a clarinet piece, in
1962. It had been
used as a theme song
for a British drama
series by the same
name. Th e song
has since been used
in “Mr. Holland’s
Opus,” “Mad Men”
and others.
4. David Bowie, in
1973.
5. “Express Yourself,”
by Madonna, in
1989. Th e message to
women: Only accept
what is best for you
in a relationship,
never second best.
Th e way to get that is
by speaking up.
CRYPTOQUIP
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to
December 21) A prospect off ers
rewards, but it also demands that
you assume a great deal of respon-
sibility. Knowing you, you’re up
to the challenge, so go for it, and
good luck.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s go-
ing to be especially nice to be the

LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) Personal relationships im-
prove. Professional prospects also
brighten. A job off er could come
through by month’s end. An old
friend seeks to make contact.
SCORPIO (October 23 to No-
vember 21) Your senses detect
that something is not quite
right about a matter involving a
workplace colleague. Best advice:
Follow your keen instincts and
don’t get involved.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) A favor you did a long
time ago is repaid, as a trusted
colleague steps in to help you with
a suddenly expanded workload.
A family member has important
news.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) A new job off er
could require moving across the
country. But before you let your
doubts determine your decision,
learn more about the potentials
involved.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) Your sense of fair play doesn’t
allow you to rush to judgment
about a friend who might have
betrayed you. Good! Because all
the facts are not yet in.
BORN THIS WEEK: You have a
romantic nature that allows you to
fi nd the best in people. You would
excel at poetry and drama.
