WEEKLY RECIPE
WEEK OF AUGUST 12 TO 18, 2012
ARIES Spend some time with your family and be sure to enjoy the comforts of your own home. Your relationship with your loved one will take priority this week. TAURUS You might be tempted to buy yourself a new car. You’ll also spend a lot of time negotiating all sorts of things or listening to endless speeches. GEMINI Whether the back-to-school season is per- tinent to you or not, you’ll still want to treat yourself and renew your wardrobe. This will give your self-esteem a boost. CANCER This week you won’t feel like listening to the advice of others. Trust that your intu- ition will guide you in the right direction. LEO You might have to step backwards to gain perspective and momentum before making a big move. You are thinking seriously about your personal and pro- fessional future. VIRGO Choosing to stay busy socially this week might cost you more than you were expecting. Crunch some numbers and switch to some less costly activities. LIBRA Don’t skimp in order to look good! The same is true for other members of your family, especially your children, who will look as if they belong in a fashion show. SCORPIO There’s a good chance that you could receive some training that will earn you an important promotion at work. Your new position will be more in line with your personal values. SAGITTARIUS If you weren’t able to benefit from a relaxing and enriching vacation this sum- mer, you’ll at least plan on taking a break that will allow you to socialize and recharge your batteries. CAPRICORN You will tend to want to please everyone, even as you know it is impossible to do so. Try and follow your heart and you won’t go wrong. AQUARIUS Be sure to check the “best before” dates on food you eat. At work, you will have to reach an agreement with people who are out of the country or who don’t speak English very well. PISCES Even though you’re normally a fairly reserved person, you will find yourself in the spotlight for one reason or another. This will make you very successful at work. THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: SCORPIO, SAGITTARIUS, AND CAPRICORN.
