ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may want to jettison some of what is holding you back before the week really gets underway, but doing so will require you to make a few tough decisions. (April 5-April 19) -- It’s a good week for solving problems on your own -- especially those that involve your natural responses to the kinds of things you cannot avoid. You don’t need help!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- In order to make progress this week, you’ll have to improve things at home so that you never have to doubt where your primary support is coming from. (May 6-May 20) -- It’s all right for you to like what others don’t -- and vice versa -- but this week you’re going to have to be far more tolerant of those who see things in a different way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Personal experiences this week are likely to take on greater importance, especially when you find yourself reflected in the behavior of those around you. (June 7-June 20) -- Something is likely to happen much sooner than expected this week, and when you realize it, you’ll want to kick things into high gear. Take all necessary precautions.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may realize early in the week that what you thought someone else was trying to do is entirely wrong. Indeed, you’re working toward the same goals. (July 8-July 22) -- You may feel as though you’ve been stripped of some personal power this week, but that’s merely an illusion born of being thrust into an unfamiliar domestic situation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Even a small error can have a big effect, as it resonates through much that you do throughout the week. It’s a good time to solicit help from a trusted ally. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You’re going through a lot of the same things a loved one is going through this week, but that doesn’t mean you can go through it together. This is a solitary time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Take the time to prepare for what you know is coming this week so that when you are surprised, you’ll have a basis for understanding the unknown. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You cannot afford to lose track of your own primary goals this week, though they may be difficult to pin down at first. Do what you can to help another work as you do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- What begins as a certainty this week is likely to devolve very quickly into something you cannot begin to fathom. This shakes you to the core at first. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You can serve as a scout for someone who is eager to know what is waiting for them down the road. As you gather information, you can collect some that will serve you well.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- As you prepare for what you know is on the way, you’ll also want to give some thought to what you don’t know -- as well as how to gain that knowledge quickly. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may feel left out during the first part of the week, but later on, you’ll be thankful that you spent some time doing things on your own. It will have been therapeutic.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- In trying to please yourself or another this week, you’re likely to come up with something new that can very soon take off as a popular idea. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You won’t be in any condition to try something possibly harmful -- at least not during the first part of the week. Later, you’ll be tempted, and may fare quite well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You’ve been straddling the fence for quite a while and with some success, but this week you’re going to have to choose sides and make a commitment.

AQUARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- For the sake of others, you may want to set aside your primary concerns and dedicate yourself to what someone else deems necessary at this time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may be tempted to mount an aggressive campaign to get something back that you sorely miss, but a more subtle approach is advised. This will take time! (March 6-March 20) -- You may wonder how someone else can know so many details about your life, but you’ve been something of an open book lately. You may want to protect yourself more.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- The moment you decide to hit the road this week things will accelerate to the point of mania -- and you are the only one to stand between order and chaos. (April 5-April 19) -- You’ll feel a kind of gravitational pull this week that threatens to upend you at the very moment when you most need your feet on the ground. You must resist this!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You’ve been working on a certain plan for quite some time, and this week you’re likely to have the opportunity to get it off the ground for the first time. (May 6-May 20) -- You may suffer from confusion borne of crossed signals this week, but once you differentiate your needs from your desires, you should be able to get back on track quickly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You’re going to hear “no” more than “yes” this week, but that only means that you’re going to have to be very sure and very confident before you make a move.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You are likely to have a very small window of opportunity this week in which to make a play for something you’ve long thought should be yours. Go for it! (July 8-July 22) -- You may get much closer to someone this week who for quite some time has been something of a mystery to you. Sort out your feelings and recognize what is really possible.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You’ll have the chance to re-engage this week with someone who was, in some way, left behind some time ago. Avoid playing the blame game, and assess potential.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Examine your feelings and you’ll realize that you’ve not been as clear with someone else as you might have been -- and this is a good week to make a positive change.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- A creative project takes off this week and you’ll have to work hard to keep up with those who have the bit between their teeth. You can figure prominently.

(Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You’re expecting a banner week, but there’s at least one hidden obstacle you’ll have to face before you can score the one victory you’re anticipating most eagerly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may have to get closer to someone this week than you would otherwise do but for unexpected circumstances that require some very tight collaboration.

(April 5-April 19) -- You’re eager to see if your plans can come to fruition this week, but you’re going to have to make one or two small adjustments before they begin yielding any real rewards.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- An acknowledgement of something you refused to recognize in the past will serve you quite well this week, and restore you to a position of personal power. (May 6-May 20) -- Others are likely to be far more impressed with your accomplishments than you are this week, but that only makes sense since you’re getting quite used to your successes.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may be in for some difficulty as the week opens, but if you follow the rules you set for someone else, all should go according to plan -- eventually. (June 7-June 20) -- The approach you take to a particular problem will tell other people all they need to know about you at this time. The whole week shapes up nicely in this way.

(Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You’re determined to have no regrets this week, and that means doing things you know to be right whether or not they promote your own agenda directly. Join forces with another.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may feel somewhat out of balance as the week begins, but events that transpire as scheduled get you back in the swing of things rather quickly. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Don’t waste time trying to deny what everyone knows to be true. This week, you can work with both supporters and critics if you are always direct and honest.

(Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- “The readiness is all” -- but you may not know that you’re ready until you’re in the midst of something that puts you to the test. You can demonstrate many skills.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may fail to get done the things you have promised to do if you’re unwilling to sacrifice a routine practice that brings you solitary pleasure.
