GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may wish to revisit old friendships and past lovers this week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): People, places and events may seem brand new and your eyes might feel opened wide to the world around you on Sunday and Monday, as if you were looking at everything for the very first time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A new friendship or fresh way of viewing the world may come to you at the begin- ning of this week.

AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There’s so much that you could accomplish over the next little while if you and your new friends got together and just buckled down.
