ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You’re not feeling in any way compelled to join this week, whether for work or pleasure. Indeed, what you do on your own at this time is quite valuable. (April 5-April 19) -- You may be nominally in charge of a project that is going ahead quickly and efficiently, but you must recognize the contribution that each team member is making.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- A dispute that threatens to break up a valuable alliance can be settled quickly this week if you’re willing to step up and do what someone else won’t. (May 6-May 20) -- You can turn fantasy into reality this week, but be aware of the risks you take in doing so. Not everyone will see the value in it, and some may think you’re being inappropriate.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You don’t want to find yourself running in circles today trying to keep lines from being crossed and communication from breaking down. Remain calm at all times! (June 7-June 20) -- The remedy to a long-standing problem is likely to present itself at the most unusual time this week -- but you’ll surely be ready to implement almost immediately.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Indirect involvement in a certain situation is likely to be more rewarding for you this week than any direct, head-on contribution. Stay in the wings. (July 8-July 22) -- Others may expect something from you this week that is neither productive nor positive, but you have what it takes to surprise everyone each and every step of the way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may have trouble keeping up with your work this week as the technology you usually rely on is likely to be buggy and uncooperative. Find another way! (Aug.8-Aug. 22) -- Despite your best intentions, and even your best efforts, you aren’t likely to make the strong start that success demands this week. A compromise will have to be made.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You shouldn’t have to cancel your plans or alter them too much this week, but a small concession to outside forces may be necessary. Solicit help. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You should have little trouble putting your best foot forward this week, as the environment you will be working in already favors your natural way of doing most things.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You’ll certainly be better off this week saying less rather than more, though that may be difficult to do with all that’s going on around you all at once. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Your intentions may be misinterpreted by some as the week opens, but if you put your head down and plow forward, your actions should be self-explanatory in most cases.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You’ll see most things the way they should be seen this week, but in at least two related cases, your perspective may be skewed and your view unhelpful at times. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Stay focused on why you’re doing what you’re doing -- and why you started doing it in the first place -- and you can finish the week with a renewed sense of purpose.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may be feeling trapped this week, but freedom is only a few decisions away -- and when you make the first one those that follow will be much easier. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- What you do first this week will set the tone not only for yourself but for all those associated with you both professionally and personally. Assess your relationships.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may have the feeling that someone is keeping something from you this week, and the more you investigate the more you’ll realize that something is amiss. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Quality control will be a major issue for you this week as you determine where your own work may be lacking. No one has said so, but something likely feels off.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You can impress someone with your ability see all sides of an issue, but will that be enough this week to secure what it is you most want or need right now? (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- A collaboration may start to fall apart almost as soon as it begins this week if you aren’t careful to define your purpose and assign all jobs according to merit.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You’re likely to see something new ahead of you this week that appears much brighter and full of potential than the future you had arranged for yourself. (March 6-March 20) -- You mustn’t let anyone knock you off balance this week. Be firm in your expectations and let those close to you know when you’re feeling vulnerable in any way.

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.

(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. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Are you ready to do what you’ve been putting off lately? This is the week for it, if you can see yourself through to setting something else aside for a short while.

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.

(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. (June 7-June 20) -- You believe there’s a time for everything, but this week may not be the time for the one thing you had hoped to see happen. Patience is a virtue -- and essential!

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.

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. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may misinterpret the importance of a seemingly routine event this week, but when you realize it’s anything but routine, you’ll make some rewarding adjustments.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- What you have to work with this week may not impress others, but you know just what you can do with it and that it may well be the gift that keeps on giving! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Don’t let anyone else tell you what is good for you this week. You may make a few errors and choose unwisely once or twice, but you’re surely on the right path.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may have to wait for one last piece of information before you’re able to put it all together into a package that yields profit and pleasure. (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.
