ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You
dislike waiting for promises to be ful-
filled and for commitments to be kept,
but resist your headstrong tendency to
push things along. Your patience will
be rewarded.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Expect continuing opposition to your
plans from die—hard detractors. How
ever, your determination to see things
through will carry the day. A Pisces
has romantic ideas. '
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You
might be too close to a troublesome
workplace situation to deal with it
successfully. Step away in order to get
a better perspective. A solution soon
becomes obvious.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You
might suspect that someone you trust
has misled you on an important mat-
ter, but a more balanced view of things
reveals a misunderstanding to be the
culprit.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Big
Cat’s animal magnetism has rarely
been stronger. You can either just bask
in all that admiration or use it to your
advantage, especially in the workplace.
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) Someone who previously balked
at cooperating with you on a project
suddenly has a change of heart. Accept
both help adyice with grace. ‘ ‘ ,
- Get cobwebs off a window screen
with a lint roller.
0 Want'to make that summer at-home
pedicure last? Don’t skip the base coat
or a UVvtopcoat. The base coat will
allow the color to adhere evenly and
better. Then the topcoat will protect
the color from the sun while giving it a
little extra shine.
- “Use an over—the-door shoe holder
to house your makeup and hair acces-
sories, plus jewelry and other personal
items. You can trim a curtain or piece of
fabric to fit over the length of it, and tie
it to the top if it looks too messy in'your
room.”—M.K. in North Carolina
Use this trick to freshen your
stuffed animals. Dust with baking
soda and put several together in a
large paper grocery bag until it’s half
full. Fold the top of the bag down and
shake vigorously. Remove the stuffed
friends and shake off any excess bak-
ing soda. For good measure, put the
dusted-off toys in a low- or no—heat
dryer cycle for 10-15 minutes.
- Hashbrowns can be made on a waf-
fle iron. Coat liberally with canola oil
or butter—flavored nonstick spray, and
add shredded potatoes and finely diced
onion. Allow the iron to cook the pota-‘
toes to your desired level of crispness,
and flip out both sides onto a plate.
They will be both crisp and soft!

cleared up before you can move on
with your new plans. A friend from the
past reaches out to re-establish old ties.

continues to be affected by a recent
unexpected turn of events. Things
need to work themselves out without
finger-pointing.

January 19) It’s a wonderful week
for all you capricious Goats to kick
up your heels with friends or family
members in some well-eamed fun and
frivolity.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to Feb—
ruary 18) Caution is advised before
making a financial commitment to
someone you don’t really know. There
are better ways to build friendships
than with risky fiscal dealings.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)
Travel plans continue to be favored. A
change of scenery brings new oppor-
tunities, both personally and profes-
sionally. Be open to the possibilities.
BORN THIS WEEK: You have

itself best in your relationships with
family and friends.

MEMORY MAGIC!
Hand the card at left to a friend
and state that you have memo-
rized all of the numbers on it. To
prove it, when he gives you a
circled number, you tell him
what the seven-digit number to
the right of it is. ,
SECRET: Mentally, take the
number your friend gives you,
add 11 to it and reverse it. This
gives you the first two digits of
the number you've "memo-
rized.‘ Then you add these two
digits together to get the next
digit. For each number, add the
previous two digits. When this
sum is two digits long, use only
the second digit. Example: 23 +
11 34. Reversed gives you 43,
the first two digits, of number.
Next, 4 + 3 gives you 7, the next .
number. Seven plus three is 10,
and so on. '
