ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- What you do by force of habit is likely to be less significant this week than something you do when you try to shake things up a bit. Experiment freely. (April 5-April 19) -- Any adjustments you make this week must be made in conjunction with others. The closer you work with those around you the more impactful will be every decision you make.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Stick to what you know best, at least during the first part of the week. You’ll be led later toward new territory, which you can and must explore carefully. (May 6-May 20) -- What you see another doing this week may have you questioning your actions and decisions, but it’s too soon to tell whether you’re on the right track. Be patient.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Any assessment of your work is going to be purely subjective, but you can still use it to shape your plans for each successive day this week. Stay in top form! (June 7-June 20) -- You may have to face someone’s rather harsh judgment at some point this week, but that will prove a turning point and from then on things should be looking up dramatically.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Potential is worth examining early in the week, before you have to choose where you’ll expend your energy. Inspiration comes to you in an unusual way. (July 8-July 22) -- You can reach one or two very important goals this week without much fuss or trouble -- but you may experience a setback if you step out of the boundaries you set for yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may find yourself wondering what the catch is this week when your every effort pays off. Never fear, you’re likely to experience a brief downturn soon. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- What motivated you last week may not do the same for you this week, and it’s all a matter of how and why your interests are shifting. Get in touch with the hidden you!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Personal and professional affairs will both be influenced this week by something you’ve only recently learned. Apply that lesson before the week is out. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may be uncomfortable about what is expected of you this week, but that’s likely only a result of a misunderstanding that can be sorted out with little trouble.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Can you be as honest with yourself this week as you try to be with others? If so, you can surely overcome an obstacle you’ve erected in your path. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- The effectiveness of your plans will depend in large part upon your willingness to question yourself when things get tough. You may come up with interesting answers!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You mustn’t let professional complications affect your personal life this week -- but to keep them separate may require a strategy you’ve yet to implement. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- If you want to attract attention this week you know better than most how to do that -- but is that really what you need right now? Spend some time working on your own.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may be asked to adjust your perspective and adopt another’s way of seeing what is right in front of you -- but that will not serve you well this week. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Take care how you speak to those in your care this week; the tone you take is likely to have a greater impact on some than the message you’re trying to deliver.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Any misinterpretation of messages sent or received early in the week can derail your plans before they’re even put in motion. Be clear and direct! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Something unintended is likely to have a major impact throughout the week, but you may be in a position to ensure that things don’t devolve into a critical situation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) – You’re no stranger to solving mysteries, but those you encounter this week are likely to be rather opaque. You’ll have to work harder to make headway. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- If what you have in hand isn’t working for you, exchange it for something else. What someone else has is likely to be better suited to your use and vice versa.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You recognize that there’s more at play this week than the usual issues, but how deep are you willing to get into someone else’s affairs? Know what you want! (March 6-March 20) -- You will have to work hard this week to keep yourself calm and free of judgment when you’re suddenly immersed in a situation that pushes all your buttons.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Your goals this week must be more closely connected to those of a friend or ally if either of you is going to make progress of a kind that has any real value. (April 5-April 19) -- You’re likely to get certain things done much faster than expected this week -- but other things are going to take much longer, and they require special attention.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Those who do not follow your instructions this week are likely to find themselves entangled in situations that cannot easily be resolved. Send warnings. (May 6-May 20) -- The reminders you receive this week may not do the trick, and you’ll be left to your own devices when it comes to deciding what to do, when to do it and why it matters.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Take the time to think about things in your own way this week, as it’s your own perspective that is most valuable to you at this time. Don’t be led astray! (June 7-June 20) -- You’ll likely feel the impact of a surprise development with every step you take this week. Things may not add up as expected, but you understand them more than most.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You will have to think creatively if you’re going to grasp the essential this week, for it’s not likely to be presented in a manner that makes sense. (July 8-July 22) -- You cannot expect things to happen just as you have decreed this week, but you can have an influence over those who are struggling to reconcile that which doesn’t add up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You’re likely to begin the week in a strange mood that doesn’t seem to be suited to the tasks you’ve been assigned. That proves untrue as the weekend nears. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You can give yourself more of what you enjoy this week without attracting any critical attention from those who find such behavior self-indulgent -- but know your limits!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You’re likely to learn about an unusual new subject this week as you do your homework in preparation of a project set to begin when you’re really ready. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Slow things down if you can and make sure you understand the reasons why things are happening in the unusual way that they are. You should have room to experiment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- That which is real should fit your notions of right and wrong this week like a glove. Avoid anything or anyone who seems artificial or out of place. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Planning ahead usually yields desirable results for you, but this week you may be at your wit’s end because nothing seems to pay off or pay out the way you’ve anticipated.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Exploration on your part is likely to lead to a discovery this week that enables you to buck certain trends. Overall control lies with someone else, however. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- The earlier you can get in touch with a certain someone, the sooner you’ll make progress in an area that has been difficult for you for some time. Help is available!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Doing what you’ve been told not to do may not get you in personal trouble this week, but the complications that result at work surely won’t be worth it. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You have a few decisions to make this week before you can score measurable gains. But perhaps they will be easier for you to make after you’ve made unexpected progress.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- No, things aren’t likely to add up the way you expect them to this week, but if you’re open-minded and quick on your feet, you can profit more than most. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may find yourself caught in a maelstrom of activity this week, none of which is designed to give you what you want any more than anyone else. You must be creative!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Meeting deadlines is only one way of proving you have what it takes this week. Getting things done under budget will be more impressive to the powers that be. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may feel inspired as the week opens, but later on you will find yourself fighting against a frustration born of fruitless activity. Why can’t you get results?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Anything that affects you directly this week is worth studying, and the more you learn, the more you can, in return, have an effect on those around you. (March 6-March 20) -- The desirable and the undesirable are likely to become indistinguishable from each other as the week progresses, especially where a key relationship is concerned.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Don’t assume that by doing what you are told you will be sacrificing any advantage you had. This is untrue, as the week’s progress can surely prove. (April 5-April 19) -- You can surely come out on top this week, but not by doing things in the same old ways. You’ve got to come up with new methods, and experimentation can pay off at this time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may have a shock coming to you this week that is unavoidable, so prepare yourself in any way possible. Once it’s passed, your recovery should be swift. (May 6-May 20) -- That which has become a comfortable habit may have to be abandoned this week in favor of an activity that is far more complicated but that can pay off more handsomely, too.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- What you accomplish this week isn’t likely to attract a great deal of attention right now, but later on, others will see what you’ve done as an example. (June 7-June 20) -- It’s a good time to put the finishing touches on a job you’ve been enjoying from the beginning -- but that doesn’t mean you won’t be ready to move on to something else.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- A little study should give you the answers you’re looking for this week, and once that happens, your excitement over a coming project will increase by ten. (July 8-July 22) -- You’re eager to see what someone else brings to the table this week. Even if meetings do not occur, you’ll come to understand someone else’s motivation much better.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Putting someone else’s needs over your own this week may seem like a good idea, but you will be giving up necessary control over personal issues if you do. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- What you hear through the grapevine this week will tell you all you need to know about the best ways to deal with a growing problem. You have to listen, however!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You are facing a situation this week that will likely require a nimbler stance than usual. Experiment before things get tricky by moving this way and that. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- A very difficult problem actually has a very simple solution, and all you have to do this week is look for it where you least expect to find it. Solicit assistance!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may find yourself off the beaten path this week, but regardless of the reason, the things you discover can make the detour more than worth it. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may be harboring fear for another who doesn’t realize that there are dangers lurking ahead of you both this week. Communicate clearly and be there when you’re needed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Adopt a conservative stance this week, and lay off that has which has not been paying off for you lately. Cease “unofficial” efforts at the workplace. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- The only reason you’ve had for maintaining proximity to someone whose company you enjoy may be expiring this week. How can you keep things going in an appropriate way?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- If you’re ready to put a certain issue behind you for good, you will want to reach out to a certain someone and let them know. It’s a good week to do it! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Others are eager for you to hear their side of a volatile issue, and this week you’ll have the chance not only to lend an ear, but also to exert a powerful influence too.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Status is likely to become a major issue this week, and it may cause stress between you and someone who acts very much like your equal. Set them straight! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You’re likely to receive more than one message early in the week that, if properly interpreted, may well send you on a journey of discovery quite unexpectedly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Despite another’s warning that “once is not enough,” you may find that a single foray into something new is plenty for you this week. Then go on your way! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Those younger than you can serve as a welcome reminder of what is possible this week if you can avoid the frustration that results from your older perspective.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Whatever it is that keeps you going this week may not be entirely ethical, legal or even healthy for you in the long run. You must know when to quit! (March 6-March 20) -- Your ability to learn quickly will certainly serve you well this week as you find yourself thrust into a situation that is both crowded and fast-moving.
