ARIES You could discover a whole new vocation. Take a good look at your professional and personal priorities and choose a future that’s better suited to you. TAURUS Be careful about saying “yes” to everyone this week, which puts you under a lot of pressure to keep your promises. You’re hav- ing a hard time making an important deci- sion at the moment. It might help to talk to somebody else for an objective opinion. GEMINI A few hours of overtime this week will really help to improve your financial situ- ation. You find yourself thinking about finding a new home. CANCER Don’t be shy about manoeuvring yourself into a position where you will be noticed. Enjoy the pride you feel. At work you will receive some kind of reward. LEO You don’t feel much like getting out of the house this week. You are feeling very attached to your roots, and maybe a little too attached to old clutter. Letting go of it will do you good in the long term. VIRGO You’re not afraid of speaking your mind and you express out loud what others are only thinking. That will be useful this week, as you will be called upon to assert your authority in a rather complicated situation. LIBRA You might have to invest a large sum of money into your work. You may even have to buy a new vehicle to ensure that you don’t get stuck. SCORPIO You might have to organize an event that involves a lot of people. Don’t be shy about trying to impress those around you this week. SAGITTARIUS If you are still looking for the perfect job, you will find some inspiration this week. You will also benefit from a great imagi- nation and a lot of creative energy. CAPRICORN You are starting to feel the harmful effects of your sedentary lifestyle. Invite friends and family to do some kind of physical activity together with you. AQUARIUS As you try to plan out your next steps, whether for a new career or for retire- ment, get plenty of exercise to help your- self see things more clearly.
