The coming week is likely to require a great deal more patience of everyone, as events transpire which challenge expectations and present alternative circumstances that have the potential of taxing one to the limit -- and those who give in and react spontaneously without a thought for what that might do, ultimately, are surely going to have a rough time of it. All must be willing to consider options even while in the thick of things, and choices must be made even while one is knocked completely off balance by the unforeseen.
Almost everyone knows someone they can look to as a “savior” of sorts, and this is the week to rely on those people as disorder takes over. The desire to right the ship this week will demand from everyone a willingness to listen to those who are most effective as captains -- especially when those cast in that role are not able to play it in a traditional manner.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may have to face a few demons this week as you try your best to keep things from falling apart. You may well find you’re now at your strongest! (April 5-April 19) -- Those who have criticized you in the past are likely to come to you for help this week -- and you will want to let bygones be bygones and do all you can to oblige.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You can choose between your better angels and your inner devils this week when plotting a course for the better. Is it time to build up or tear down? (May 6-May 20) -- Something you long ago dismissed is likely to resurface -- and mean much more now than it did then. You may want to leave something else behind and pursue this further.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You’re able to see all that is special in even those situations that have others feeling put out or otherwise discomfited. Your “way” attracts much praise. (June 7-June 20) -- Now is no time to hide from that which frightens you. Indeed, stand firm against any and all threats, for only through self-defense can you prevail.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Something or someone long-cherished may be unavailable to you this week, when you feel you are most in need of such comfort. Develop a new strategy! (July 8-July 22) -- You may be able to double up on something that really works for you and come out on top where others are simply unable to progress at all. It can be an exciting week!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may discover that that which is ignored by others this week holds a great deal of meaning for you, and this will highlight differences you’ll want to explore. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may be left feeling somewhat put out this week if you allow yourself to be ruled by someone whose authority is questionable. Do what you must -- your way!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You must find time this week to show how much someone means to you -- even if it means giving one or two work responsibilities short shrift temporarily. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You are likely to find that even the simplest of acknowledgements can go a long way this week. Tell others what you notice, how you feel and what they mean to you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You will be trying to restore order this week almost from the opening bell -- but don’t try to do it by overtly dictating what others can and can’t do. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You are resigned to the fact that some of what you do this week will be no fun at all, but this willingness is likely to be rewarded in a manner that is actually a lot of fun.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Quality control may prove to be such an issue this week that you’re unable to rely on those methods that have worked for you before. Think outside the box! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may think that certain things are inevitable this week, but the fact is that you can effect a great deal of welcome change if you set your mind to it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Information may come to you just in time this week, and from a source that you trust implicitly. With it, you can do much to set things straight. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You’re used to role-playing, but this week you may have to take on either too many, or those for which you are not suited. Do your best and know this is only temporary.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You must get going with your work as early as possible this week so that you have time for something that is much more important -- but only to you. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Others are likely to flock to you this week because they think you can provide what they need. You may be wondering why they think that -- but events make it very clear.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Someone you know only slightly, or have only heard about, is likely to have a major impact on your daily progress all week long. Find out why! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may discover that you have a crush on someone you never gave more than two thoughts to in the past. Find out what’s changed, or what it is that you now see in them.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may not have time to explore this, that or the other thing as you had hoped, but you can maintain a level of readiness for when your turn soon comes. (March 6-March 20) -- You are likely to be mightily impressed with what someone else can do under pressure, and you’ll be inspired to try something you’ve been avoiding for some time.
