VIRGO You’ll want to clean your house from top to bottom. Tidying up your living space by getting rid of clutter and unnecessary items will also help clear your mind.

LIBRA You’ll struggle with communica- tion and travel this week. You’ll have to wait a while to hear back from others, and you might find yourself driving in circles at times.

SCORPIO You’ll need to put in some extra hours at work. While your family might not like your new sche- dule, you’ll be glad when your next payment helps you clear a nagging debt.

SAGITTARIUS If you start a new job or major project, you might face disap- pointment. Be patient. A candid conversation will help you ad- just and get things back to the way you like.

CAPRICORN After working hard at the office, it’s time to rest and make self- care a priority. Whether you tra- vel alone, with friends or with your romantic partner, a brief get- away will restore your energy.
