ARIES By calculating and recalculating your budget you realize that you have the means to achieve your ambitions. Emotionally, there are a few details to clear up. TAURUS You show a fair bit of initiative. It is important to take the time to nego- tiate with people before coming to a decision that also involves them. GEMINI Your health might require some at- tention. You may finally discover a more suitable diet or a treatment that improves your quality of life. CANCER You have to make some hard choi- ces; love and an active social life are not always compatible. Take another look at your priorities where pleasure and responsibilities are involved. LEO You are inspired to rethink your dé- cor and undertake some big jobs at home. What’s more, your friends are going to be very happy to be able to help you with your projects. VIRGO You start planning your summer vacation. Don’t hesitate to tighten your belt now, for a while, so you can afford to go on a dream trip or some sort of pilgrimage. LIBRA You are a bundle of nerves for a few days. Fortunately, you don’t lose your smile and you succeed in making the people around you laugh. SCORPIO At work you are at the centre of some important negotiations. You succeed in using a ruse that allows you to make some important gains, which makes everyone happy. SAGITTARIUS One of your colleagues is absent and you inherit his or her work- load. You’ll probably fall behind a bit, but this situation is to your advantage; a promotion could be your reward. CAPRICORN You’re sure to receive congratula- tions for some type of exploit. Your loved one is very attentive to your re- quests and suggests some big pro- jects to work on together. AQUARIUS Your young children are rather de- manding and you have to devote a lot of time to them. You may have to taxi them around or make some important appointments for them. PISCES There seems to be some confusion where communications are con- cerned. Double check your infor- mation, and be attentive to various instructions so you won’t have to redo your work.
