THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: LIBRA, SCORPIO, AND SAGITTARIUS.
ARIES You might come up against some “big talkers, little doers”, which means that you will have to cope on your own and finish things by yourself. TAURUS You don’t like to be bored, so you try to organize some interesting activities with your partner or with friends. Trying to please everyone is going to be compli- cated, though! GEMINI You may be tempted to do some compul- sive shopping, but what you really need is to be more active and to have some interesting experiences. There’s no need to empty your bank account to feel better. CANCER You would benefit from getting some rest so you can start the week on the right foot. You need a solid night of sleep in order to be efficient and healthy. LEO You are particularly creative. Studying different cultures and societies can help you find the necessary inspiration to create a masterpiece. VIRGO You are quite happy to discover a moun- tain of work this week. Having a lot of work helps you feel more secure, a feeling that really matters to you. LIBRA There may be a trip coming together for you. You may even envisage working abroad in order to experience a more enriching life. SCORPIO Even though you are usually an extremely reserved sort of person, be sure to take time to discover and be carried away by new pleasures. If you allow yourself, you can find a way to combine business with pleasure. SAGITTARIUS You see all around you the kind of infor- mation that can help you develop a new life path for yourself. You will deploy all your passion and love for life this week. CAPRICORN You have to negotiate with groups at work in order to establish a long term under- standing. You will be very active within a union or in your community. AQUARIUS You’re usually quite a perfectionist, and this is what will propel you towards a pro- motion at work. Try to take care of your- self or you may lose your voice. PISCES You don’t enjoy being in the spotlight for too long, but allow yourself to enjoy the warm congratulations for pulling off a brilliant exploit.
