ARIES Making time for the family is im- portant. Your children, or even your elderly parents, need you. You won’t hesitate to devote to them all the time they need. TAURUS You may decide to go back to school or follow a short training session. You’ll soon reap the rewards, even though you’re short on time and have to go to considerable effort. GEMINI Expect to put in some overtime at work. These efforts may earn you a promotion and put you in manage- ment’s good books. CANCER You are at the dawn of a new be- ginning. If you’re looking for a job, you finally find a promising career, albeit a stressful one. The salary is appealing, and a bright future is in the making. LEO You have a brainwave. You suc- ceed in better defining your priori- ties and visualizing your future. You have a flash of inspiration con- cerning a new way forward. VIRGO You’re happy to organize an event that brings together lots of people. Just a few words from you is enough to establish perfect harmony bet- ween the people around you. LIBRA Following the departure of a col- league, you’re given a promotion that you’ll learn to enjoy, slowly but surely. Much to your surprise, a new way of living enables you to ac- complish great feats. SCORPIO You have the opportunity of going on an exciting trip, and you’re temp- ted by a foreign adventure. You may even think about moving to an- other country. Projects line up one after the other. SAGITTARIUS It takes time to realize your dreams. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day. You need some patience in order to realize your projects, fulfill your ambitions and achieve your goals. CAPRICORN You have to be very patient in order to finally reach an agreement at work or elsewhere. You win your case if it has been dragging on in court for a while. AQUARIUS Your doctor should finally find the treatment that’s perfect for you if you have some health problems. You can expect to get a good pro- motion at work. PISCES You achieve something that you’re particularly proud of. You may even save someone’s life, if only by listening. The person involved is very grateful.
