Tonight: Forget; live now.<br />
<br />
This Week: Not feeling up to snuff until Thursday, consider taking some time off.<br />

ideas, and express yourself in a poetic manner. Financial discussions
suddenly prove to be most enlightening. There are answers. Tonight: A
must appearance.<br />
<br />
This Week: On a roll, focus and zoom in. You can have nearly anything you want if you act before Thursday.<br />
Gemini
What a perfect day for a hike or exploring a museum or special open-air

realize. Don't read your Sunday paper yet; go off and enjoy those
around you. Experience. Tonight: Reach out for others.<br />
<br />
This Week: Escaping the powers that be could be close to impossible. Work with issues.<br />

for togetherness.<br />

unexpected source. Remember? You are spontaneous. Tonight: Think not of
tomorrow but live for today.<br />
<br />
This Week: Work with individuals. Look at the gains. If people feel
that they are important, they will be more responsive in general.<br />

driving need. Tonight: Easy does it.<br />
<br />
This Week: Fun and games head in your direction. Know that you cannot change anyone.<br />

Tonight: Act like it's Friday night.<br />
<br />
This Week: Accomplishment needs to be the name of the game.<br />
