Your Stars This Week | November 10th, 2024

The coming week is likely to require some reflection on the past while plans for the future are being made -- and some more honest self-assessment will be essential to progress in this vein. If it seems to some as if all they've been doing this year is looking at themselves with a critical eye, there's certainly something to that, for there's been a lot of that indeed -- but that doesn't mean it hasn't been necessary. It is, and it can surely lead to some real improvement, especially for those whose interest is mostly on what is happening tomorrow and in the days and weeks to come. Making good plans always requires a firm foundation -- and that depends, in turn, upon knowing what happened before, and how and why, so that the positive can be repeated and the negative avoided. That's what's going on this week, for sure!

Sharing experience and information is essential and will be quite useful this week, and it may be that the best counsel comes from those far away -- friends and loved ones who have reached out across time and space to offer assistance. Indeed, not much can be done this week without the miracle of electronic communication!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Someone may not be meeting your high standards this week, but does that mean you have to step in? Perhaps you can simply give instruction from a distance. (April 5-April 19) -- A creative endeavor may be interrupted this week when you are suddenly faced with a practical problem you thought had been solved. This may be a matter of location.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- The knowledge you've recently gained about a topic not easily plumbed may be sought this week by someone whose motives are doubtful. By all means, use caution! (May 6-May 20) -- You may be so busy providing for others at this time that you're neglecting certain needs of your own -- and the situation is perhaps becoming somewhat urgent.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- What someone offers you early in the week is only the prologue to something much more complicated. Are you in a position to take on more duties? (June 7-June 20) -- Your ability to smooth over difficult situations, especially when emotions get heated, will certainly come in handy this week. Don't try to identify a bad player.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Stubbornness isn't likely to get you anywhere this week, so you'll want to bring your more pliable, reasonable self to any meetings you attend. (July 8-July 22) -- It may be time for you to distance yourself from someone who seems not to have evolved as you have over the past weeks or months. Your decisions this week can be far-reaching.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may receive a boost from a secret admirer who has, in fact, been supporting your efforts for quite some time. Think carefully -- you know who it is. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- It may be time for you to demand payment for a job you completed quite a while ago. Who's going to stand up for you at this time if you don't stand up for yourself?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- A situation you've grown accustomed to may soon begin to chip away at your contentment. You'll have a chance this week to make a necessary change. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may feel the distance between you and an old friend growing at this time, but if you keep communication open, you won't experience any real sort of rift.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may discover this week that it's time to get back to something that gave you a good deal of contentment in the past. This should involve no sacrifices. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Though your plans are solid, there may be certain bumps in the road ahead that will require you to adjust on the fly. Your improvisational skills will come in handy!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) –- You may be wondering when you’ll be compensated for a job well done some time ago. This week you may have to present records supporting your claim. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) –- News about someone else’s hard times will have you reflecting on something you are going through now. You can surely benefit from the information they pass on to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Someone may unintentionally make things more difficult for you this week than they should be, but you can come up with a quick fix that really does work! (Dec.8-Dec. 21) -- What you learn this week can be shared with others who are going through much the same thing that you did. You may become more directly involved with them than usual.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Someone close to you is likely to benefit from any and all counsel that you can give, if you can spare the time. Do what you can to be available. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may fear that something you've avoided for quite some time will prove unavoidable this time. What is it that you're doing or not doing to increase your vulnerability?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- What is usually a group effort may fall to you exclusively this week. Be ready to bring all your skills to bear as a problem arises that only you can solve. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- What begins as a minor disagreement may evolve into a major dispute this week if you're not able to offer a compromise. Others will surely listen to you!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Anxiety may be aggravated this week because of separation from a loved one. Fortunately, this is only temporary, and the status quo can be restored soon. (March 6-March 20) -- You will want to jump at an opportunity that is presented to you this week, but you must stop and think about what you may have to sacrifice if you do.

Your Stars This Week | November 3rd, 2024

The coming week is likely to lay out scenarios that will provide, to most, comfort and discomfort in turn, as well as the need to adjust to circumstances and situations that may not be to one's liking at first but which can ultimately prove helpful, profitable or at least enjoyable when all is said and done. A willingness to power through that which is not wanted will surely prove beneficial this week, for those who make the least waves will surely find the week's journey much smoother than those who insist on fighting every little thing that goes against the grain. In particular, many are likely to find that those social situations that would at other times be avoided can provide a great deal of enjoyment, an emotional or spiritual lift, and even some benefits one may not be able to anticipate.

Getting together with old friends can actually be fun this week -- but loved ones, including family members or old flames, may be difficult to deal with because of unrealistic expectations or emotional baggage that has been carried for far too long. It may be time, at long last, to sever ties with those one considers in any way toxic.

CAPRIOCORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You can find answers almost everywhere you look for them this week, but it's what you do with them that makes all the difference. Interpret creatively! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You needn't be afraid of what you'll unearth by digging into unfamiliar issues. You'll learn something of your past that helps you see the future more clearly.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Success this week depends upon how much you are willing to take on, and what you must jettison in order to do what you need to do. You can make some hard choices. (April 5-April 19 -- A past indiscretion can be completely forgiven and forgotten this week, just as you are getting ready to make a change that can open a great deal of new doors.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Patience is certainly a virtue this week, for it will keep you from putting yourself in harm's way by making a quick decision that everyone knows is risky. (May 6-May 20) -- You're eager to get back on the road after stopping for repairs, but a quick fix isn't likely to do you much good -- and might well cause a more lengthy delay later on.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- It's a good time to head off on your own into territory only previously imagined. What you encounter is likely to defy your expectations in many ways. (June 7-June 20) -- You've been soothing yourself recently by telling yourself that you've done all you can, but this week the opportunity to fix a problem permanently may finally arrive.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Get the jump on the competition this week and it should be smooth sailing all the way to the finish line. A false start can set you back considerably. (July 8-July 22) -- You may have been operating recently under the assumption that nothing you do can be that bad, but this week you may discover that's not how things are. Make amends!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You and a friend or loved one are likely to be at odds this week over something you see very differently. Both of you can afford to compromise a bit. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Your connection with someone who has been instrumental in helping you reach certain goals recently may be threatened this week, but you can surely avoid an actual rift.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- An accommodation you make for someone else this week may actually prove good for you in ways you had not anticipated. Keep moving in that new direction. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may have to make different plans this week when you realize that because times have changed, you're not able to do what you had originally set out to do. Be flexible.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You're likely to learn something this week that you've been wanting to learn for quite some time. It's really the end result of a long period of self-assessment. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You can gain a lot of valuable experience this week that you can put to good use almost immediately. Very soon you can begin a long-anticipated journey in earnest.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- A quick look back in time is going to tell you more than you expect, and you’ll soon be equipped with the tools to make a key scheduling decision. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You will have to ride something out during the first part of the week before being ready to shake things up a bit later on. You’ll want to challenge yourself, surely!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- It is quite important that you determine the cause of a problem you've been grappling with for two or three weeks. Even a guess will break the deadlock. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Though you were stuck, this week you should be able to break free and enjoy a wider range of options than you've been used to recently. Take a friend on a journey.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- The more you're willing to look at yourself and call yourself out for the flaws you see, the more self-improvement you can accomplish before the week is out. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- After a rather considerable blunder not too long ago, you should be able to redeem yourself and even score something of a victory this week. Try a path not usually taken.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You can provide a great deal of inspiration to one who is looking to you for guidance -- but don't make the mistake of thinking yours are the only options. (March 6-March 20) -- While waiting for something to happen on the home front, you can get a great deal done that will position you for a possible promotion at work. You can juggle a lot!

Your Stars This Week | October 27th, 2024

The coming week is likely to offer periods of rest to those who have gotten little over the past few weeks, which will themselves afford opportunities for self-evaluation that can prove quite valuable. Indeed, those who are keen on knowing more about themselves than they have in the past will have the chance to see themselves with unusual clarity this week, warts and all, so that they can make fair and honest judgments about what has to change in the days and weeks to come. Others will benefit tremendously from downtime -- though few should expect a period of inactivity at this time, for there are always things that can or must get done, though the pressure right now to come through, perform or otherwise satisfy pressing expectations should be mercifully low this week.

Those who choose to experiment this week may well be rewarded for their efforts, especially those who take the risk of moving forward with an idea that might actually be considered by many to be before its time. Such daring should in many cases be spotlighted this week, with the most unusual efforts reaping the greatest rewards.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may have to act as a go-between this week between two parties whose effective communication will be essential to your own success as well. (April 5-April 19) -- Take care that you don't get so immersed in a certain situation that you're unable to recognize an alternative opportunity when it arises -- and it surely will!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- There may be several people eager to include you in their efforts this week, but there is only so much of you to go around. You'll have to choose. (May 6-May 20) -- You'll surely keep going this week because of a promise made to another, and because you can see what can happen if you maintain high standards and a positive attitude.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may find yourself on the front lines of a battle that you had thought needn't be fought, but a surprise this week will make this conflict inevitable. (June 7-June 20) -- You can learn many lessons about yourself and others this week, and they can surely be put to good use as you rebuild certain relationships over the next few weeks.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may have to change your plans this week after learning what a friend or loved one has on the docket. You pledged your support, and the time has come. (July 8-July 22) -- You may have expected some very important developments this week, but they may not materialize, leaving you more time to do something you've long wanted to try.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may not be all that eager to engage with another this week, but a certain amount of back-and-forth may well be unavoidable -- and should prove valuable. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Take care this week that you steer clear of any danger zones -- and that you don't inadvertently lead anyone else into such risky territory either!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Despite a certain reluctance, you may find that engaging with someone over an issue you've been keen to avoid can benefit both of you in important ways. (Sept. 8-Sept.22) -- The more modern your tools are this week, the more you should be able to accomplish -- but you'll find that one of your favorite old methods is still quite valuable.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- What you see before you this week is nothing to be afraid of, and any hesitation you show is likely to inspire those who are considering working against you. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You're likely to discover a new outlet for your creative energies this week. Focus on the process more than the result, at least during this beginning phase.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may require more information than a certain someone is willing to give you. This week is likely to be all about collecting as much as you can. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Some issues may become unexpectedly heated this week, especially where personal preferences are concerned. You may be able to keep things from getting out of control.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may feel that more is being asked of you at this time than you are able to give, but that's just an overreaction. You can provide what is needed. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Your week is likely to start very quickly, and you must be willing to hit the ground running in most instances. Don’t let frustration or resentment take root.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Someone may make a request of you this week that goes against much that you are trying to do on your own time. Can you balance all such desires? (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Keep the lines of communication open this week, especially when you begin making plans for the weeks to come. Others are sure to trust your methods as much as you do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You can do much this week to keep someone else from descending into a depression fueled by disappointment -- but don't forget to tend to your own needs! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- What you can offer someone else working on a project that has reached a tricky juncture can prove valuable, and just the kind of thing that is needed at this specific time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Try to establish a routine as quickly as possible this week, but know that it's likely to be disrupted once or twice -- but those episodes will be enjoyable. (March 6-March 20) -- You may not be able to take time off this week, but you can surely plan your hours so that you're not as deeply impacted by your own work as you have been recently.
