ARIES—March 21-April 20
Relatives play an increasingly time consuming role. It seems that daily compromises may have to be struck. For the sake of health and your career, it’s important that you look and feel great.
TAURUS—April 21-May 22
Your lucky cycle continues this week and it’s a great time for starting any size job. Extra time is required in looking after the welfare of a loved one.
GEMINI—May 23-June 21
Key phrase - be demonstrative. This is the time to show your feelings and not keep them hidden. Risks are not wise from Thursday on. Relatives come calling, especially when they’re involved in domestic hassles.
CANCER—June 22-July 22
Be cautious with documents all this week and don’t lend any papers without retaining a copy. Joint ventures are spotlighted and an offbeat partnership could prove a great success.
LEO—July 23-August 22
Children and old friends make this a fun week. Strange correspondence gets your mind wandering. Read newspapers with added care - you may be pleasantly surprised
VIRGO—August 23-September 22
Tighten those purse strings and avoid gambling, especially on “sure things” - but if sprees are out, friendship and compatibility are in. At work, being hesitant could pay off.
LIBRA—September 23-October 22
This is time to move into the future and not to dwell on past events. Romance can be on your mind much more than usual. Your social schedule stresses quantity over quality.
SCORPIO—October 23-November 21
Petty jealousies among friends disturb you and snoopy neighbours likewise irritate you. There is good news financially around Friday - perhaps a chance to earn a substantial bit of cash.
SAGITTARIUS—November 22-December 22
Simplification and modification are the week’s keywords. People with your best interest in mind may not be offering the smartest counsel. Expect things to slow down on the weekend.
CAPRICORN—December 23-January 20
The combination of critical relatives and nagging colleagues doesn’t get the week off to a great start. Luckily, the trend doesn’t continue. Finances improve and so does your love life.
AQUARIUS—January 21-February 19
Your hunches are weak. Question all impulses and follow plans more rigidly. You may feel you are being pulled in every direction - take a stand. The accent is on creativity all weekend.
PISCES—February 20-March 20
The time is ideal for a major creative expression. Watch out for absentmindedness around Friday and sloppiness with numbers on the weekend. Join a health group for controlled exercise.
