ARIES You might feel a little trapped between wanting to have fun and needing to fulfill your responsibilities. You’ll be very happy when friends come to your rescue. TAURUS Whether you’re close to home or already on vacation, you will feel inspired to seek out adventure and discover different cul- tures from around the world. GEMINI This will be an emotionally intense week. A few disagreements could hurt your pride, but you are a sociable person and you will succeed in restoring peace. CANCER It may be hard to reach an agreement with other people about how to share an enjoyable activity. Stay the course, be loyal to your true desires, and everything will turn out successfully. LEO You will receive an invitation to partici- pate in a fabulous experience, one that might involve crowds of people. You will love being part of all the festivity. VIRGO You’ll be in the right place at the right time to receive a boost to your self- esteem. This might take the form of help- ing a person in distress, for example. LIBRA If you’re spending your vacation at home, you might feel inspired to redecorate. Reinforcements will arrive in the form of family and friends who will give you a helping hand. SCORPIO You will likely do a lot of driving during your vacation. Have your vehicle checked by a mechanic and make sure you keep the gas topped up in order to avoid any sort of worry this week. SAGITTARIUS You will feel like treating yourself, and even a tight budget won’t slow you down. Don’t take offense when your loved ones or your life partner suggest taking over the finances. CAPRICORN You will definitely want to be active and get lots of things done. This is a good time to create a whole new lifestyle, such as focusing more on spirituality, for example. AQUARIUS You might be tempted to make a decision rather hastily. You will be able to make a wiser choice once the moon is full. PISCES After a busy social life you will really need to rest and recharge your batteries. The best place for this will be in the comfort of your own home.
