Aries: Do you feel like having an ad
venture? Well, this week is going to be
one big adventure for you. You don’t
need to go far in order to find it. It will
come to you. Your magic place of the
week: Costco.
Libra: You are looking for a solution
but you feel left in the darkness. Maybe
you need to look someplace else. Try
visiting weird places and a solution will
appear. Your magic place of the week:
Rest room.
Taurus: Nobody is listening and you
cannot get your point across. Try to be
patient and listen to other people’s opin
ion; Only if it’s absolutely necessary,
explain your position. This will save
some time. Great week to expose your
self to other points of view. Your magic
place of the week: Library.
Scorpio: Use your superiority for noble
causes. Remember that making people
do something they don’t want to do has
only short-term benefits. Your Karma
will be enlightened as well if you are
willing to negotiate and help out other
citizens. Your magic place of the week:
Retirement Center.
Gemini: This is going to be one happy
shiny week for you. Your individuality
will really shine. Try showing off the
qualities that make you different and
unique. Tell others your most unique
desires. Your magic place of the week:
Cafeteria.
Sagittarius: Others tend to be short-
tempered and inconsiderate this week.
Hold your tongue and remember that
they are as tired as you are. Devote more
time to your family. Your magic place
of the week: Bakery.

of real-world insight that you can quickly put to use.
Cancer: This week you will have dual
needs. On one hand you want to attend
social events and on the other hand you
want to hibernate. Unfortunately, it’s
impossible to do both at once. Plan your
time wisely. Your magic place of the
week: Home.

Leo: Do you feel watched? Do you have
the feeling that someone is constantly
following you? You need to let go of
your phobia. It is not good if you let
your imagination take over. Your magic
place of the week: Closet.
Virgo: Wow! Your creativity this week
is amazing. You should think about writ
ing poetry or preparing a nice dinner
for yourself. But be careful. Too much
creativity can wear you out easily. Your
magic place of the week: Kitchen.
Capricorn: You have the desire to be
around young people and children. They
give you a feeling of happiness and you
can act normal around them. Be careful
though. You might be perceived as child
ish. Your magic place of the week: Kin
dergarten.
Aquarius: Your judgement regarding the
use of money is at below normal levels.

their money. Your magic place of the
week: $0.99 store.
Pisces: Something is stirring your soul,
turning you into a walking, talking piece
of art. Others might see you as a blur as
you rush along because of your inability
to relax. Try to sit down and relax for
just a couple hours. You magic place of
the week: Museum.
