c 2021 King Features Synd. Inc,
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Lots
of possibilities begin to open up by
midweek. Some seem more appealing
than others. But wait for more facts to
emerge later on before you consider
which to choose.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Bravo
to the determined Bovine. While others
might give up, you continue to search
for answers. Expect your Taurean tenac-
ity to begin paying off by week’s end.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You
might want to consider stepping back
from the task at hand for a while. This
could help you get a better perspective
on what you’ve done and what still
needs to be done.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your
keen Cancerian insight should help you
determine whether a new offer is solid
or just more fluff ‘n’ stuff. The clues are
all there, waiting for you to find them.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Being
ignored is difficult for any proud Leo
or Leona. But pushing yourself back
into the spotlight might be unwise.
Instead, let things work themselves
out at their own pace.
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) Trying to uncover a colleague’s
secret under the pretext of showing
concern is ill—advised. Control your
curiosity in order to avoid raising
i resentment in the workplace.
- Add 3 cinnamon stick or softener
sheet to your vacuum bag when you
change it. As you clean, you will dis—
tribute the good smell throughout your
home.
To ripen a green tomato, wrap it
in a sheet of newspaper or place it in
a paper bag. It can then be left on the
counter for several days to ripen.
- “Need to remove fruit or food col—
oring stains on your hands or your
countertop? White vinegar will clean
it off. It’s good for so many things.”—
R.N. in Washington
0 “Instead of baking soda, I use three
or four charcoal briquettes in a bowl
to control odor and moisture in my
refrigerator. 1 place the briquettes in
a shallow dish, then cover the top of
the bowl with a small piece of cheese-
cloth and secure it with a fat rubber
band. The best thing is that I can still
use these briquettes on the grill. In the
summer, they get changed very regu-
larly.” —— ML. in Virginia
- Great ways to remove stuck labels:
nail polish remover (NOT for use on
plastics), WD-40 oil, soaking in hot
water, rubbing alcohol.

LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) Expect to hear good news about
a loved one. Also, be prepared for
some changes in several family rela-
tionships that could develop from this
lucky turn of events.
SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-
ber 21) Some surprises are expected
to accompany a number of Changes
that will continue through part of next
. week. At least one could involve a
romantic situation.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to
December 21) You might be upset by
some of your critics. But most of your
associates continue to have faith in
your ability to get the job done, and
done well.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) A workplace goal that
suddenly seems out of reach is no
problem for the sure-footed Goat,
who moves steadily forward despite
any obstacles placed in his or her way.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to Feb—
ruary 18) Uncertainty about who is
right and who isn’t might keep you
from making a clear-cut decision.
Wait until you know more about what
you’re being asked to decide.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)
Be careful to keep your emotions in
check when dealing with a demanding
personal situation. You need to set an
example of strength for others to follow.
BORN THIS WEEK: You have an
extraordinary ability to rally people to
do their best. You would be a treasure
as a teacher.
