SALOME’S STARS HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You
might feel compelled to get involved
on the “right side” of a seemingly
unfair fi ght. But appearances can be
deceptive. Get the facts before going
forth into the fray.
AMBER WAVES
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Bul-
lying others into agreeing with your
position could cause resentment.
Instead, persuade them to join you
by making your case on a logical
point-by-point basis.
by Dave T. Phipps
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Resist
pushing for a workplace decision
you might feel is long overdue. Your
impatience could backfi re. Mean-
while, focus on that still-unsettled
personal situation.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your
aspects favor doing something
diff erent. You might decide to
redecorate your home, or take a trip
somewhere you’ve never been, or
even change your hairstyle.
SUPER CROSSWORD: 26 BEGINNING TO END
LEO (July 23 to August 22) You
might want to take a break from
your busy schedule to restore your
energy levels. Use this less-hectic
time to also reassess your plans and
make needed changes.
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) What you like to think of as de-
termination might be seen by others
as nothing more than stubbornness.
Try to be more fl exible if you hope
to get things resolved.
LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) Watch that you don’t unwittingly
reveal work-related information to
the wrong person. Best to say noth-
ing until you get offi cial clearance to
open up.
SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-
ber 21) With things settling down
at work or at home, you can now
take on a new challenge without fear
of distraction. Be open to helpful
suggestions from colleagues.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to
December 21) Your creativity can
help resolve an emotional situation
that might otherwise get out of
hand. Continue to be your usual
caring, sensitive self.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) You could impress a lot
of infl uential people with the way
you untangle a few knotty problems.
Meanwhile, a colleague is set to
share some welcome news.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to Feb-
ruary 18) Aspects favor recharging
your social life and meeting new
people. It’s also a good time to renew
friendships that might be stagnating
due to neglect on both sides.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) Congratulations. Your talent
for working out a highly technical
problem earns you well-deserved
praise. Th e weekend could bring
news about a friend or relative.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your sense of
justice makes you a strong advocate
for the rights of people and animals
alike.
