John Travolta, Robert Pastorelli, Andie MacDowell and William Hurt star in the romantic comedy come-dy Mlcheal about one angel's (Travolta) last mission on earth. Travolta gives heavenly performance as Michael by Rick Brough RECORD GUEST WRITER Michael, the slob archangel what a role that could have been for John Belushi. And yet there's no doubt that John Travolta makes the part his own. There's also little doubt that Michael is a real angel. He has actual wings sprouting out of his back. He helps out a little old Iowa widow (Jean Stapleton) by "smiting" "smit-ing" the branch office of the bank holding her mortgage. And he has people imagining they smell home-baked home-baked cookies, or candy, or some other childhood memory. At the same time, Michael smokes, drinks, gets into bar fights and fools around with women.

But, for now, it's 'jime to throw out the left-over fudge & J testock with brussel sprouts. GEMINI (May 20 -June 20) Your ruler Restless Mercury continues to trudge backwards through the sign of . Prudent Capricorn supposedly for the purpose pur-pose of reminding you to think in a more focused & responsible manner. It's not working, is it? So, let's talk about something else. Impetuous Mars moves into your house of self-expression & love affairs on Friday. You can expect this to fire up your creativity as well as bring a spontaneous new romance.

It's difficult to think about anything except love & romance throughout the weekend. Try to get your work accomplished on Monday, since you'll lose some motivation on Tuesday & Wednesday.

Among his accomplishments. Michael claims to have fought the Devil in Heaven, but also to have invented the concept of "standing in line." ("Before that, everybody just sort of milled around.") Naturally, the mortal characters in Nora Ephron's story can't be as flamboyant, but they don't even come close. William Hurt is a cynical cyni-cal tabloid reporter who once worked for respectable newspapers. newspa-pers. His photographer (nicely sidekicked in the form of Robert Pastorelli) ensures both their jobs because his dog, the tabloid's official offi-cial mascot, reminds theii surly publisher (Bob Hoskins) of a boyhood boy-hood mutt he once had. Andie MacDowell is a ditz with three failed marriages who jots down random phrases in hopes she you don't. Okay? Close your eyes & chant "OM". LEO (July 22 - August 22) Searching lor your new designer workout clothes? Four planets occupy your house of fitness now. If you don't already belong to some plush health club, you're probably out there comparing the facilities. (Undoubtedly looking for the one with the largest lockers since you've got to have room for an array of grooming accessories.) Comfort-Loving Venus in your house of self-expression prevents pre-vents you from throwing yourself too enthusiastically enthu-siastically into the new year's exercise regime. This is why you can be found in the steam room, but nowhere near the aerobics class, right? VIRGO (August 22 - September 21) Beginning to feel more tranquil? On Friday, Assertive Mars finally leaves your personality personali-ty house. You may want to spend the weekend week-end sending out flowers to those loved ones who may have suffered from your uncharacteristic uncharac-teristic bossiness in the last couple of months.

Impetuous Mars enters your sign & you're the one setting off the fireworks. If you're in a relationship, you're likely to Impulsively pick a few arguments on Tuesday. If you're unattached, you may focus your easily provoked temper on your boss. If you want to really play it safe, call in sick & punch a few pillows. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21) The Sensitive Moon in your perceptive sign on Friday S Saturday gives you on-target hunches. You can either set up a fortune telling booth or start buying commodity futures & make a killing on the price of precious pre-cious metals & pork bellies.

Ostensibly assigned as an "angel expert," she's actually a dog trainer who figures into a scheme hatched by Hoskins. Michael's final mission, we learn, is to help Hurt find his humanity and MacDowell her resolve, by nudging them into falling for each other. But it's not a very compelling love affair, when the stars don't seem involved in their roles or with each other. (One exception occurs when MacDowell, encouraged to croon one of her makeshift songs, suddenly sud-denly seems transformed into a brunette, more svelte Dolly Parton.) You're left wanting to see more of Travolta, his escapades, and especially his little line-dance-a-trois, with two belles in a country bar. Director Ephron doesn't make enough of the moment, which is par for the course here. Map SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 20) The weekend begins with the Moon in the Murky sign of Scorpio leaving you a little bemused & bewildered by your own unclear emotions.

Life does remain auspicious for you this week, with one small hitch. Aggressive Mars has moved into your career house. If you're in charge, you'll be motivated to strive harder for success. But, if you HAVE a boss, a certain resentment for authority figures may creep into your attitude. If you really must tell someone off, pick up the phone & let some computerized answering system know what you really think of their "hold" music.
