The coming week is likely to fall out very much according to plan -- but whose plan? Indeed, that's the question that must be answered first and foremost right now, and if the answer isn't satisfactory then a new one must be manufactured in some way -- which means, of course, that it may well be time for someone to step up and insist that things progress in a new way, for a new purpose, in order to ensure a new outcome. The conflict between those who are content with the status quo and those who are not may come to a head this week, but that doesn't mean that a fight will ensue; on the contrary, it's far more likely that people will value what they have in common far more than their differences, and work to come together on whether to stick things out as they are, or work for change. Either way can be the "right" way, depending on the individuals concerned.

Whether they are together or apart for these seven days, couples of all kinds can reaffirm their joint commitment to the things that are most important to each -- which will serve as a valuable reminder that even in the closest of bonds it is the individual that reigns supreme. No one need sacrifice their sense of self in favor of partnership unity this week.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Someone else's plans are likely to inspire you this week -- but to what end? You must be willing to look at your own situation clearly and objectively. (April 5-April 19) -- What you say this week will have a greater impact than expected, good and bad, and you must be ready to act quickly and decisively when dealing with any negative fallout.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may find yourself putting more on the line this week than you had planned -- but you're likely to enjoy greater gains than expected as well. (May 6-May 20) -- You may be putting far too much emphasis on something this week that matters very little to anyone else. It's time to adjust your thinking so that you don't overburden yourself.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may encounter a great deal of "fake news" this week as you attempt to uncover the truth about a situation from your past. Set the record straight! (June 7-June 20) -- Your own unique abilities are almost certain to benefit those around you this week, and often in ways that no one could have anticipated. Your own gains can be significant.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- What you do this week will be the result of much that you've recently done -- but it will be much more forward-reaching in scope. What do you really want? (July 8-July 22) -- It may be time, at long last, for you to do what you've been thinking about doing with regard to a long-standing responsibility. You can have more freedom very soon.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- The more you do with another this week the more your own solitary efforts will mean to you. This connection will continue to inspire you for quite some time. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You'll have more time than originally scheduled this week to make sure that your primary efforts are completed. It's time to consider raising the stakes.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- An attempt to be original this week may amount to putting the cart before the horse. Think about what has to be done before considering how to do it. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- It may be time for you to make reparations to another who has been waiting for you to acknowledge what you've done. You can do much to heal a damaged relationship.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may find certain decisions harder to make this week than expected, but that could very well be because you don't yet understand where they will lead you. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You'll have some time on your hands this week that you can fill with activities that add up to much more than the sum of their parts. What are you trying to accomplish?
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Someone's attempts to get in touch with you this week are likely to drive you in a new direction, but not entirely because it's where you want to go. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Your desires are at odds with your more immediate needs right now, and you can spend much of the week accommodating the things that aren't going to wait any longer.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may be unusually antsy as the week opens, but any lack of focus or determination will be addressed by something that happens to you toward midweek. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You're far more likely to give someone what they want this week if you're able to take a little of it for yourself as well. This is something you can no doubt arrange.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You cannot afford to plow ahead this week without considering what will happen to another as a result. Your endeavors are closely linked to theirs. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- It may be time for you to abandon a long-time practice in favor of that which is more readily accepted by more people. There's no need to fight against current trends.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may be thinking that you can get further today by doing things that someone else has found successful -- but doing your own thing is the best bet. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may find yourself yearning for that which you gave up long ago. Does this reflect a change in your overall outlook? You can answer many such questions this week.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may be tempted to go off in an entirely new direction this week, but you'd be sacrificing something of value you've long been working toward. Compromise! (March 6-March 20) -- Something you've been trying to avoid for quite some time must be dealt with directly this week or it's likely to wreak havoc on your planning in the weeks to come.
