You may feel restless and seek excitement, but in doing so, you can expect to make many new acquaintances.

A small business or community upset may cause you to alter your plans, and you should avoid involvement in half-baked schemes. Travel brings happy surprises or an opportunity for you.

It's an excellent week to read those books you have been promising yourself to read for some time.
