Horóscopo

★ A ★ Aries: ★ Mucha exposición a libros, periódicos y computadoras te podría producir dolores de cabeza por la fatiga visual, Aries, por eso sé prudente con las letras pequeñas o con los textos en la computadora. Pensamientos amorosos y románticos pueden interferir en tu capacidad para realizar el trabajo eficientemente, y te tentará la idea de pasar la mayor parte de tu tiempo hablando por teléfono. Todos tenemos días así, por eso no te preocupes. ¡Sólo asegúrate de sentirte maravillosa para cuando llegue la noche! ★ Tauro: A ★ ★Hoy es definitivamente un día para esperar lo inesperado, Tauro. Alguien de tu pasado reaparecerá de repente en tu vida - quizás hasta golpee a tu puerta. Aunque probablemente estés alegre de ver a esta persona, ¡también te sentirás atónita! Desarrollos inusuales en el hogar - quizás un golpe de suerte le llegue a un miembro del hogar - traerá una celebración inesperada. Debes estar abierta a cualquier situación, ¡y disfruta del día! ★ A ★ Géminis: ★ Hoy es un día maravilloso para rodearte de las personas más queridas, Géminis. ¿Qué te parece organizar una reunión con familiares y amigos, llena de conversación estimulante, comida deliciosa y bebida? Sin embargo, en algún punto podrías sentirte algo triste, pensando en alguien que debería estar contigo pero no lo está, extrañando y especulando sobre lo que estará haciendo. Concéntrate en quienes están allí contigo. Estás rodeada de amor y todo indica que así seguirá siendo. A ★ ★ ★ Cáncer: Es posible que sientas culpa por algo acontecido en el pasado, Cáncer. Pero hoy la situación parece muy distinta. Date un respiro y no sientas culpa por el pasado. La perspectiva de los demás sobre el tema es simplemente eso - su perspectiva.
