ARIES People will have some difficulty in getting you out of the house. You are feeling attached to your roots, as well as your old things, but don’t let them take up too much room in your life. TAURUS You have plenty to say for yourself and you express out loud what others only think. What’s more, you are able to assert your authority in a fairly complex situation. GEMINI It’s possible that you’ll have to in- vest a lot of time and effort in your work. You may even buy a new car to avoid troubles with your old ve- hicle. This purchase gives you a certain amount of prestige. CANCER You spare no effort in order to im- press people. At work, you succeed in building a big enough client base to achieve one of your ambitions. LEO If you’re still looking for the ideal job, you could get some inspiration about the way forward. You also benefit from a great imagination this week. VIRGO You may start to feel the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle. You won’t be shy about inviting your loved ones to embark on a physical activity together. LIBRA Whether you’re at the dawn of a new career or your retirement, you try to define your next steps. You need to clarify your vision for the future. SCORPIO Some sort of training propels your career towards new heights. You are greatly inspired by new chal- lenges that require a bit of patience to master. SAGITTARIUS After careful consideration, you make some significant changes in your life. You thoroughly review your priorities and decide on a future that better suits you. CAPRICORN You tend to say yes to everyone and put too much pressure on your- self to keep your promises. A size- able decision seems difficult to make without the right information. AQUARIUS You work a few extra hours, which significantly improves your finan- cial situation. Afterwards, you want to devote a little more time to your love life. PISCES You put yourself in a great position to be noticed. You feel proud of yourself. At work, you are given some kind of reward, or at least some warm applause.
