, ARlES-Martb 1 I-April 10
Without a doubt, you can certainly look forward to
most productive week, cosmically speaking. The nice
part of it is that the cosmic forces will be more in evi
dence right after Saturday, lasting 'til late Tuesday.
You have no excuse not to succeed! 676.
TAURUS-April 1 I-May 20
From the looks of it, the very first day of the new
month may no start off in the ay that you want.
Saturday is slated as the better of the days this week.
Use that time to come up with a more creative approach
to problem-Solving. 984.
GEMI -May 11.J 20
This is your week to take the initiative if you've been
waiting for the chance to. Around Saturday, be on
guard against overindulgence or emotional flareups. On
the brighter side of things, Monday is cellent to make
needed or necessary changes. 749.
CANCER� 21.J�11
Cosmically speaking, th is is a mild week without the
usual hassles. Therefore, you are free to chart your
course as you wish. Do be careful, however, late Sun
day going into Monday-in relation to traveling in
public or making· impulsive moves. 847.
LEO-J 22-A 10
Both Thursday and Friday may seem as if the roof
caved in on you. But as the week progresses, you'll find
your affairs falling back into sync. The wee is bene
ficial to bring your resume up to date or set an appoint
ment {or a job interview. 691.
VIRGO-Au 11-Septembel' 11
Direct opposition is indicated for both Thursday and
Friday against doing anything that has long-term
results. The problem could center around bad advice
and carrying things a bit too far. By Monday the 5th
going into Tuesday. all should right itself again. 732.
LmRA-Sep ember 2l-October 20
This week can be divided into two parts-the first
part being fortunate and favorable for plans and pro
jects. However the latter half of this period, starting
around Sunday and lasting thru Tuesday, may be full
of all kinds of pitfalls and hazards. Act accordingly.
489.
SCORPIO-October 11- ovember 21
Upsetting news of sorts could well be the case around
the first of the month. As you move mto the weekend,
however, the favorable effects of the cosmos will be
felt. Tuesday the 6th should be romantically favorable.
873.
SAGITfARIUS- ovember 22-December 21
The 1st and the 5th of the new month is indicated as
favorable for starting something entirely new, or mak
ing the needed changes for your personal or business
success. Saturday the 3rd suggests being careful of too
much self-indulgence. Tuesday is favorable. 710.
CAPRICORN-December 22.January 20
This is a good week to "get it together" for best re
sults. Saturday looks especially promising and so does
Sunday. It's Monday that you'll have to be careful
while being out in the public. Tuesday the 6th is more
favorable. 293.
AQUARIUS-J uary 21-Febnwy 19
The first day of August as well as the 5th promises an
opportunity to really get ahead. Use the time wisely to
advertise your skills and expertise. The latter part of the
week is good for any risks that have to be taken. 2S 1.
P�Febnwyll- 10
The planetary aspects for this week are very
favorable for both Friday and Saturday. Fun, shopping
and attending social events will prove to be more than
just hob-nob affair. Trust your intuitions and/or fJISt
impressions at this time. 641.
