Entertainment is a current theme. People long to be on your guest list. Commotions are commonplace through this lively noisy and often humorous week. Visits with older people bring immense pleasure. Original ideas may be a little offbeat for your employer’s taste. A new acquaintance may overwhelm you with a surplus of charm. Financial undertakings may be subject to further negotiation or analysis. A cultural event may have a romantic angle. You are feeling more comfortable with a certain friend or relative, but don’t reveal too much too soon. Useful contacts may be closer to home than you imagine.
