ARIES (March 21-April 19): Listen and ye shall
learn in week ahead. Listen to ideas from one whom you
consider far out." There will be a grain of truth to what
mis person has to tell you. You. of course, must winnow
the fact from the fancy. You will get message from one.
who admires you before week ends. Bask in compliments
which will come your way. They are sincere.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Someone over 30 really
needs your help, Taurus. Are you going to be a rea)
brick and give it? Or are you going to hold back? Olga
suggests you aid and comfort. Sometimes when you cast,
your bread upon the waters, you get back more than just
soggy bread. Give it a whirl.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You certainly do lead
a push-pull existence, Gem. It's your nature. And the
week ahead will be even more frantic than usual. You will!
be forced by circumstances to make some serious decir
sions. Time is excellent to consider the new, the novel.'
the exciting. 1 -
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don't close your eyes
or your heart in week ahead, Moonbaby. You may be
approached by friend for advice. If so, be most careful
not to say more than you think is absolutely necessary.
Do not volunteer extra help. On last day of week yod
should hear from one who has been on your mind for
some time. If you do not get messaqe by late afternoon,
then you contact this person if possible.
LEO (July 23-August 22): Don't let the arteries of
communication harden, Leo. There is one who has er

able. Try not to appear remote. Week winds up on a note
of concern.

searching for inner peace, Virgo, week ahead is excellent

treasure it. Treasure it well.
LIBRA (September 23-October 22): Frontiers beckon .
like open gates, Libra, for those who would have the ;
courage to venture. Have you the courage to follow your -

the ability to do iust about anything they make up their
minds to. After all, beauty and brains often go together,;
And with Libras, it is a common combination.
SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): Competition
seems to be key for week ahead. Scorp. This could meant
either competitioin for career advancement, or perhaps a
romantic situation is involved. In any event, be prepared.
Like a good scout. On last day of week you may be
called upon to do a friend a favor. Do it and then keep
your mouth shut. In fact, keeping your mouth shut just
may be the favor asked.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21): SaL
Olga has only one word of advice for you for the week
ahead, and that is this: don't walk the wire without a net
under you. You will, no doubt interpret this message
correctly. Your intuition will be unusually strong in com
ing week.
CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19): You are.
scheduled to have your own private little "Laugh-In" in
week ahead. So relax, and enjoy. Last two days of week.
are ideal for secret plans to materialize.
AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18): A feeling of
oneness will engulf you in week ahead, Aquarius. You will
watch as distinctions blurr. Symbols will seem to kote
their import. Very important and very personal week.
PISCES (Februaury 19-March 20): Hell on the home
front, Pisces. You may as well know. After all, knowledge
is power. Os so someone once said. At any rate, don't
say old Olga didn't try to give you a decent warning.
However by last day of week, events will tend to simmer
down. But oy that time you'll no doubt be so worn out.
you won't much give a fig.
