now to set things straight before
they become troublesome later.
AMBER WAVES

sion-makers in your workplace.
by Dave T. Phipps
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You
might still be a bit reluctant to face
up to some less-than-pleasant real-
ities. But the sooner you accept the
facts, the sooner you can set about
making some needed changes.

might be putting on the new person
in your life. It takes time for a bud-
ding relationship to blossom. Show
more patience and understanding.

in reserve. Use some of it to resist
intimidation from those who might
try to impose on your good nature
for their own reasons.
SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-
ber 21) Th e good news is that your
on-the-job status is improving.
Th e one cautionary note, however,
involves a personal situation you
might have been ignoring for too
long.
