Resuming a course of study is possible now that your time commitments aren't as serious as they once were. Of course, this may mean a reduction in income, but don't let that bother you.

You could be tempted to pick up a bad habit again, especially if your love life isn't what you want it to be. Are you really willing to throw all your hard work out the window?

An old lover could try to sweep back into your life now that Venus, your ruling planet, goes retrograde. Beware!

Besides, there are other candidates more worthy of your love.

You've got to break out of this lazy pattern; otherwise, you'll have far more work than is healthy. Set small but reasonable goals for yourself, and avoid people and places that waste your time.

Someone you thought you'd never talk to again could call out of the blue, so be prepared for a surprise.
