Seafood curry chowder

ARIES You may have to make an important decision that concerns all the family. Take the time to weigh all the pros and cons with accurate information before making a choice. TAURUS Wait to receive all the results before wor- rying about your health. You may tend to dramatize a fairly minor problem before even seeing your doctor. GEMINI You’ll have quite a challenge on your hands when you have to prove that you’re the right person for a very precise job or post at work or elsewhere. CANCER If there is a move on the horizon, you must be sure to try and save your strength. Fortunately you’ll show lots of determination when the time comes to reposition your things. LEO You could end up stuck in several traffic jams. Before starting out be sure to check the traffic reports if there is road work on your route. Remember that being stuck in traffic is a good time to think through your plans. VIRGO The purchase of a house is, above all, a very good investment. Create a smart budget for your situation and you will not have to tighten your belt too much. LIBRA You want to be in the action, and your sense of initiative is at its peak at the moment. You will take your rightful place either at work or in your personal life. SCORPIO You may feel a certain amount of accu- mulated tiredness as the week progresses. It will be important for you to take the time to rest and relax to rid yourself of the stress. SAGITTARIUS Don’t be surprised if some of your friends invite you to register for differ- ent activities with them this summer. Go along with it, as it will all keep you busy during your holidays. CAPRICORN All your attention is taken up by profes- sional and family matters this week. You will have to manage a rather complicated schedule. Several unexpected events will have to be taken into consideration. AQUARIUS If you’re planning a road trip during your vacation, be sure to plan your itinerary well. Have a good map or a GPS on hand so that you don’t go round in circles all the time. PISCES You will definitely feel the desire to experi- ence profound changes in either your pro- fessional, emotional, or personal life. This is a good time to ponder these changes but not such a good time to take action. THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: CAPRICORN, AQUARIUS, AND PISCES.
