Dear Erik
Its seems that pe pie are
always in my bu ine r m kin
efforts to. I m 29 years ld and
I have been a teacher for 4
years, it a difficult job but I
enjoy my wor. The pr blem
is that I'm not married and I
never have been. I'm n t even
involved ith any ne ri ht n
Its not that my work takes up
all my tim and energy be au
it d sn t. But n w people ar
putting pre ure n me by ay­
ing thin like a man your age
should have a wife and a family'.
Right n I don't even ant a
relati n hip. I am happy with
the way my life i g ing. But
everybody including my family
are driving me up the wall
with questi ns. I h ve been n
more blind dates than any man
I kno ,plus it alway c st me
a lot f money and I ju t hate
being forced on me ne. The
last thing I want to do i to hurt
my friends and familys' feeling.

YOUR
HOROSCOPE
pt m r 4-10, 1 5
B LLOYD TRAynOR
ARIES- 21-A· 20
This is a cosmically lazy sort of ee as you start to
really get into the month. Saturday into Sunday looks
favorable, but this can't be said for Monday the 9th.
There could be concern about starting all over again.
80S.
TAURUS-April 21- 10
At the time of this reading you should still be u der
some very favorable influences to accomplish about
anything you go after. Monday the 9th of next eek
looks equally good as ell. The following day 100 s
fine for all family or domestic matters. 086.
GEMI 1- a 21.Ju 20
With this being normally a productive part of the
year for you, this wee will prove no exception. In fact,
starting Friday going into Saturday should be a 48 hour
hirlwind period of success if you take advantage of
the moment. Hopefully, you will. 793.
CA CER-Jun 21.JuI. 21
On the family and romantic side of the cosmic pic­
ture, this is a very favorable week for such matters. In
fact this becomes more evident as you go past Saturday
leading into both Sunday and Monday. Use these days
to be productive-or at least map out a strategy. S93.
LEO-Jul ll-A 20
Around the 4th you could find an unexpected rever­
sal in personal or business plans. On the brighter side
however, as the days progress during this wee , you
should be getting ahead considerably as compared
previously. ext Tuesday is very promising. 066.
VIRGO-A 21 her 21
There is really nothing outstanding to spea about
one way or the other for you this ee. Around Satur­
day, ho ever, be sure to be clear on everything you say
and do. Later, on Monday perhaps, some of your
dreams may come true. 7ro.
UBRA- ber 2l-Oct0ber 20 _
This is an easy-flowing week for you from a cosmic
point of view. You'll find getting thru this period a
breeze. Late Friday into Saturday is especially
favorable. ext Monday going into Tuesday, ho ever,
may meet you with some resistance. 492.
SCORPIO-Odo 21- o\' her 21
Health, along with moodiness or a plain old
misunderstanding with others, could lie at the bottom
of your concerns this wee . Just rest if you can, at least
. over the eekend. It's next Monday that'll get you off
on a much better note than compared with the I t six
days or so. SS5.
AG ARlUS- ovem 11
This is certainly a low sort of ee from the point of
cosmic activities. In addition there are heavy days of
stress listed for both Friday and Saturday. So it'll be a
little while on down the road of September before you
get it together. Stay calm and cool. 392.
CAPRI CO r 22.Janu 20
This is a ee to get things done early if you can
especially before getting into the ee end. Changes in
family or career are the issue to focus on for best
result . You'll discover that Sunday and Monday may
be di astrous to attempt anything important. Just
ait-and it'll pass. 258.
AQ ARJ S-J uary 21-Fe ru 19
This could be a wee of minor and major stress if
you're not prepared to keep your eyes and ears open. It
may most li ely have to do with health concerns of an
unexpected nature-or not finding the success you ant
in getting something important off th! ground. It's real­
ly not as bad as it sounds. 169.
PISCES-F 10
There is a small but unexpected surprise in store for
you, especially during the early part of the week. On
Saturday there is a suggestion to not let orry or anxie­
ty get the best of the situation. Late Sunday oin into
Monday looks ood to make � real. 233_
