What was a major deal-breaker yesterday might not be significant today.
Gather with others, joining the natural festivities. What is said in a
conversation might surprise you. Yes, you have reason to be delighted!
Tonight: Forget; live now.<br />
<br />
This Week: Not feeling up to snuff until Thursday, consider taking some time off.<br />
Taurus
Give someone the natural respect he or she deserves. Open up to new
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
market. Adventure will become you and please you far more than you
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 />
Cancer
Work with a dominant partner who only means well. What you believed was
irreparable yesterday is not. You might relax a lot more as a result.
Listening, suddenly you see where you are mentally blocked. Tonight: Go
for togetherness.<br />
<br />
This Week: See beyond the obvious, then act. There is always more to know.<br />
Leo
Investigate and open up to new beginnings. Someone might make a
suggestion that not only causes you to smile but also allows enormous
bonding. Why not? Don't always resist change if it comes from an
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 />
Virgo
Evaluate, understanding that everyone has limits -- you included. With
that in mind, judgments -- even about yourself -- could change. Virgo
often feels the need to be a perfectionist. Try to let go of that
driving need. Tonight: Easy does it.<br />
<br />
This Week: Fun and games head in your direction. Know that you cannot change anyone.<br />
Libra
Your playful side emerges. You have no patience for anything but mirth,
flirtation and smiles. Someone quite exotic could walk into your life.
Keep your eyes open! (You don't want to miss this person, do you?)
Tonight: Act like it's Friday night.<br />
<br />
This Week: Accomplishment needs to be the name of the game.<br />
Scorpio
Family and home take the highest priority. You might want to rethink a
decision more openly with an eye to dynamic change. Think positively. A
partner has some interesting ideas that could impact your security.
Tonight: A must appearance.<br />
<br />
This Week: Creativity floods your life yet could be distracting.
Responsibilities call heavily at the end of the week.<br />
Sagittarius
There's nothing like a day hanging out with friends. Whether you opt
for the movies and munchies or some other better plan, a good time is
had by all. Tonight: Someone starts revealing more of himself.<br />
<br />
This Week: Take a hint from Aries. Not until Thursday will you feel up to snuff.<br />
Capricorn
We all like something a bit new and shiny. Listen to suggestions, and
you'll come up with ideas. Your vision of what might be possible could
be much different. Tonight: Your treat.<br />
<br />
This Week: Make the first move -- the sooner the better. Schedule meetings; run with the ball.<br />
Aquarius
You might feel invigorated. What looked like a treacherous walk on a
tightrope proves to be a piece of cake. Move forward. Conversations
involving romance, children and affection in general flourish. Tonight:
All smiles. Don't allow one worry to interfere with the moment.<br />
<br />
This Week: You see what is happening financially. Stopping a trend takes talent, but you have it!<br />
Pisces
Sometimes it is a gift to be able to move slowly and not push too hard.
Information could point in another direction. Your perspective opens
doors. Listen to news with open eyes. Tonight: Early to bed.<br />
