ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You’re likely to encounter a great many people who know how to communicate with you in a manner that is both highly productive and somewhat mysterious. (April 5-April 19) -- You’re likely to have more questions than answers this week but if you ask them at the right time, they’ll lead you where you most want to go. Don’t let yourself clam up!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You can get one or more jobs done this week in a manner that impresses others, but you mustn’t let yourself get cocky about it. Stay grounded. (May 6-May 20) -- When it’s time to move on this week, you’ll surely know it, and you won’t have a lot of time to make arrangements or collect more than the essentials you must take with you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- If it falls to you to clean up someone else’s mess this week, then so be it -- but don’t let anyone take this for granted. You surely won’t repeat the favor. (June 7-June 20) -- You know the rules, and you know why it’s best to follow them, and yet for some reason you will be tempted to do the very thing that others have warned you not to do.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Someone may accuse you of something you surely didn’t do, but you’ll have to defend yourself to some degree and that will be an inconvenience. (July 8-July 22) -- You need not kowtow to anyone this week. You are confident and capable, and you can forge a path this week that demonstrates this to anyone with whom you interact.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You’re in no mood to communicate this week with those who have a habit of making things difficult, but they’re the ones to whom you must reach out! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You don’t want to blame your own misfortune this week on anyone else. Focus on the cause, realize how you are culpable and do what you can to undo that recent error.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You can do someone a favor this week by keeping everything in order and ready for use. You won’t be center stage, but you can play a key supporting role. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Concern over someone else’s health and well-being will drive many of your endeavors this week, and you’ll want to close the distance between you and a loved one.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You won’t be able to pick up where you recently left off until you’ve addressed a new concern that someone else passes to you early on this week. Be ready! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may be tempted to make changes around the home, but doing so without getting the input of family members, and even friends, would likely be a serious mistake.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Following in someone else’s footsteps may not reap the benefits you expect this week, and yet you can learn a thing or two that can ease a burden. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Doing something that is not really in your wheelhouse may serve a particular purpose this week, but you don’t want to be disingenuous in any way. Be yourself!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Your particular expertise may benefit others as well as yourself this week, but no one is likely to ask for such help. Give it where it’s most needed. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Others may wonder what you’re waiting for this week, and you do not have a reason for hesitating that they will understand. They’re good reasons, nonetheless!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- A friend or partner may not wish to go down a certain path with you this week, and that will work out very well for you, as you may be in a solitary mood. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Someone on your team will notice when things are not progressing as they should before you do -- and may try to lay the rap on you. It’s not your fault, as you can prove.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- To make the money you need next week you’ll have to do some extra work this week -- and that means using the time well that others make available. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- The more certain you come off this week, the more likely others will think you are somehow doubtful about what lies ahead. Are you trying to deceive yourself?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You can do what others have done, but it won’t pay off quite as handsomely -- and you know precisely why. A repeat performance shouldn’t end the same way. (March 6-March 20) -- Excitement over someone else’s plans is one thing, but to let yourself get carried away and forget your own responsibilities is another. You must avoid the latter!

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!

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.

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. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You’ve put yourself in something of a pickle and it’s going to take some careful planning this week to get yourself out of it without doing harm to yourself or another.

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!
