ARIES (March 21' to April 19)
You’re moving from arelatively sta-
ble situation to one that appears to
be laced with perplexity. Be patient.
You’ll eventually get answers to help
clear up the confusion around you.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A
vexing situation tempts you to rush
to set it all straight. But it’s best to let
things sort themselves out so that you
can get a better picture of the chal—
lenge you’re facing.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Financial matters could create some
confusion, especially with a torrent of
advice pouring in from several sourc—
es. Resist acting on emotion and wait
for the facts to emerge.
CANCER (June '21 to July 22) That
goal you’ve set is still in sight and is
still in reach. Stay with the course that
you’re on. Making too many shifts in
direction now could create another set
of problems.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) It might
be time to confront a trouble-making
associate and demand some answers.
But be prepared for some surprises
that could lead you to make a change
in some long-standing plans.‘
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22)
Congratulations. You’re making great
progress in sorting out all that confusion
that kept you from making those import—
ant decisions. You’re on your way now. .

cardboard over the right spot. No more
banged-up fingers or thumbs!
- “At a party, someone spilled a cup
of red wine on one of my throw pil-
lows. I love the pillow, since it is just
the right size and really soft, but I
could not get the stain out. So I cov-
ered it with a new fabric. I ended up
doing all the assorted pillows in the
same fabric, and it made a big change
in the room. I wish I had done it soon-
er.”——I.F. in Pennsylvania ‘ ‘
- Bringing some plants indoors? Use
Styrofoam packing peanuts in the bot-
