TEABREAK


Happy birthday:
It’s natural to want to protect your
feelings, but do not allow yourself to
become completely cut off from those
around you. You will have to take some
risks if you want to make a connection
with others. Your lucky numbers: 3, 4,
6, 11, 19.

Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22)
Make sure you are especially
sensitive to your significant
others’ needs today. They
have been feeling blue lately
and are in need of some major cheer-
ing up. A blast from the past will end
up putting a huge smile on your face.
✭✭✭

Virgo (Aug 23 - Sep 22)
You will find yourself quick-
ly running short of funds if
you are careless with your
money. Looking at the world
from a different angle will reveal some
interesting opportunities that others
have overlooked. ✭✭✭

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22)
Open your mind and you
will discover a deep con-
nection with someone you
originally thought you had
nothing in common with. Lady Luck
will be at your side when it comes to a
business venture. ✭✭✭✭

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)
Your compassionate nature
will be appreciated by those
close to you. Others can
always count on you to pro-
vide a little extra help where and when
it is needed. The stars will shine down
you when it comes to money matters.
✭✭✭✭

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21)
You may run into prob-
lems with family today.
Do your best to avoid long
involved confrontations. If
you keep to yourself for a bit, all these
issues that are causing trouble will work
themselves out. ✭✭✭

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)
No one will give you op-
portunities to show off
your skills. You will have to
create these opportunities
yourself. Do not hesitate to shout from
the rooftops to market yourself. ✭✭✭

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)
Your excitement about
a project may have you
coming off as a lot more
aggressive than you realize.
You might want to take a few steps back
and give others the space to see what
you have to offer. Red will be your lucky
color. ✭✭✭

Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 20)
You may not be feeling like
your usual self today. Do
not ignore this. As the day
progresses little hints here
and there will help bring to light what
is bothering you. This in turn will lead
to a huge mental and spiritual break-
through. ✭✭✭

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)
You are sure to have a great
time if you get out of the
house and spend some time
with friends. Your natural
charm will attract all sorts of attention
from the people you encounter. Ro-
mance is in the air, so enjoy it. ✭✭✭✭

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20)
Resentment will only weigh
you down. Instead of focus-
ing on what you feel you
are owed, work instead to
earn things yourself. Those you love are
not perfect, so make sure you are forgiv-
ing of their mistakes. ✭✭✭

Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20)
Although you may be feel-
ing a bit bored, you cannot
escape your responsibilities
completely. Try to change up
your schedule a bit or do things in a dif-
ferent way, this may help make things
interesting again. ✭✭✭

Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 22)
Tensions at work are about
to hit a breaking point. It
would be better for everyone
to just sit down and clear
the air before things explode. Education
will be highlighted. ✭✭✭
