or take a weekend vacation and thoroughly enjoy it. Have fun! Unexpected pleasures,
new friends, or a more playful, adventurous attitude in your relationships make this time
period stimulating and delightful. You want a break from your usual routine and, because
you are willing to experiment and to be spontaneous, you are likely to experience a
refreshing change of pace. A new romance or a revitalization of a current one is very
likely.
AQUARIUS
This week's scenario is highlighted by agreements, contracts, and joining your efforts
with others. These efforts will work out very much to your advantage now. A friend or
person in authority may offer help or present an opportunity which will benefit you now
or in the future. Also, you will reap rewards later for the generosity and aid you extend to
others at this time. Also, this can be a time when you are forced to confront and deal with
something which is no longer working - from old, outworn possessions to an unhealthy
relationship or a deeply ingrained, self-defeating attitude.
PISCES
This week's scenario is highlighted by change. You may decide to change the decor of
your home, or you may attend a musical or artistic event that exposes you to new styles
that are different from your customary tastes. Communications with family and friends
can be strained at this time, as you try to clear up points of confusion. This is a good time
to get a new perspective on your relationships and your life style, but do not force
yourself to make important decisions now while you are not completely comfortable with
any of the alternatives. It's also a good time to have company or to give a party at your
home. You are feeling hospitable and loving and need to share comfort and affection
with close friends and family. Home improvements or beautifying your surroundings in
some way is also favored now.
