The coming week is likely to dole out opportunity rather like one would hand out cookies -- in abundance and with the expected positive reaction from all but the most dour and negative recipients. All should find something valuable to do this week that is outside the usual professional fare, and some may discover new interests that are certainly worth pursuing in some depth -- with a few, unsurprisingly, deciding that those new interests can and should be at the center of future professional endeavors.
Those who see no real value in the opportunities that present themselves this week must do more to make the status quo as valuable as possible, and while no major changes may be necessary, one may be required to make minor adjustments -- and if they are timed correctly, they can surely up the ante for everyone involved and increase potential gains.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may adopt a rather cavalier approach to a serious issue this week -- and others will be compelled to deal with you in a more direct manner than usual. (April 5-April 19) -- You’ll have the chance this week to prove that you are, indeed, an expert at something you’ve long practiced personally and/or professionally. Allies come calling.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- The powers that be are likely to call on you this week to do what no one else can. You may be uncertain to begin with, but your confidence will grow quickly. (May 6-May 20) -- What you share with another will become all the more valuable to you both because of your generosity. Look ahead and you’ll see that a joint opportunity waits for you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may feel that you’ve lost touch with a part of yourself you haven’t had the chance to explore fully in quite some time. This week offers much. (June 7-June 20) -- A partnership with someone who shares your interests can be of value this week, but you must take care that you’re not somehow tricked into taking on too much responsibility.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may have trouble keeping your mood swings from getting the best of you this week. It’s a good time to lie low and avoid unnecessary contact. (July 8-July 22) -- You may be caught between a certain desire and the realization that it’s not likely to be satisfied any time soon. You mustn’t let an improbable scenario control you in any way.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may be influenced this week by someone you don’t know, and though indirect, the pressure you will surely feel can still move you in an undesirable direction. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may have been trying for quite some time to effect change on the home front, and this week at last you’ll see some movement on that front. Make requests, not demands.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You’ll find that there is, indeed, strength in numbers this week. This can be tricky for you, however, for you may be in the mood to go it alone if you can. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may be responsible for ensuring that the most important messages reach their destinations on time this week -- but don’t assume this gives you any new authority!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You cannot afford to make the same kinds of mistakes that plagued you in the recent past. They’re fresh enough that you should recognize them at once. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- A glitch in the works may have you spending more time on certain endeavors than you had planned. Only those who can help you should see you in a vulnerable position.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may be able to exert pressure on those whose decisions this week are supposed to be final. You can share gains with others in your situation. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- The information that is kept from you this week is surely what you most need to know, so you’ll have to jockey for position in such a way that you receive it in time.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You can expect something new to be all-consuming this week -- once you commit to it. Take the time to dispense with any unnecessaries beforehand. (Dec.8-Dec. 21) -- You can offer support to another this week that no one else can give. What you’ve practiced so often in the past can be of tremendous value as you face a new challenge.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You cannot afford to let someone else put your reputation at risk this week. You have the support you need to mount a defense when the time comes. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may be tempted to remove yourself from a situation for which you see no positive resolution -- but your presence can keep others from doing what must not be done.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You’re likely to receive an invitation early in the week that sets your course in a manner quite unexpected by you or anyone else in your inner circle. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- News received this week has you contemplating something you had not considered before -- and the end game may pit you against an enemy that lies within.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Take the time to think things through this week, and don’t make the mistake of doing whatever comes to mind in the moment. Planning makes all the difference. (March 6-March 20) -- You may be thinking of things in a manner far more authoritarian than others are willing to accept. A run-in with a competitor jars you into rethinking your approach.
