No question about it’ The first indications of a
change that will take place in your career
should materialize Stand by for an unpleasant
chain of events that turn out well
We are never treacherous, that is, according to
our own light Nonetheless, many members of
your sign will be engaged in intrigues and
affairs of secrut order
It seems as though you'll rid yourself of a re-
sponsibility Also, your chart indicates that
you’ll contact a devious member of the opposite
sex
There’s a tendency on your part to quarrel with
your mate or similar alliance Apparently, you
have taken a troublemaker into your confidence.
The point' Remember, 'misery likes company ”
You are entering an impulsive cosmic cycle.
You’ll attempt to alter your personality or daily
routine Stellar patterns, however, warn against
changing existing conditions.
As your mood soars, this week, so will your
urge to spend Extravagance, thoughts that are
in the shade - concerning the opposite sex
dominates your chart
You are entering a phase of it being The lull
before the storm Be attentive to rumors and
signs of things to come Intensive behind the
scene activities are indicated
Trying to persuade and influence your associ-
ates. seem to dominate your chart Apparently,

lating someone in order that they will fit into

haul It seems as though a get rich scheme’’
will taunt many under your sign
You are entering a tricky cosmic cycle that puts
your career, task, mission or project into sharp
focus Don't misread this week’s agitation or dis-
ruptive changes as being a reversal
Stellar patterns stress the probability that you
will be out of character You will confuse a
member of the opposite sex, because of your
uncontrollable shift in mood or general outlook.
Strong planetary support, this week, enables
you to put wishful thinking where it belongs.
