The coming week is likely to present both opportunities and potential setbacks that will require everyone to look at their own lives and the lives of those with whom they interact, in a much more circumspect and honest fashion -- for self-deception this week can prove a mighty hazard and ultimately result in the kind of setback or failure that can be not just a game-changer, but a game-ender for all but the most tenacious and hardworking. The opportunities that arise this week may be hard to identify at first, but anyone who is taking a good look around will recognize them when they arise -- though that's certainly not the same thing as taking advantage of them! The setbacks this week may be quite insidious, the kind of negative development that is unexpected and ultimately unseen until its effects are felt. These must be avoided at all costs!

Success or failure this week may depend on nothing more than one's own personal style. Many kinds of people doing things in all kinds of ways can be successful this week, but it will require a dedication not only to hard work, but also to the concept of self. "Who am I, really?" will be a question asked by many this week.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may think your work is done when you still have several important things yet to do -- and throughout the week, you'll encounter several key reminders. (April 5-April 19) -- A collaboration may begin early in the week that you cannot sustain later on for reasons that are entirely your own. You must try to find your new team.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- It's absolutely essential this week that you uncover insecurities before you're able to take a step in a new direction. Certain fears cannot be jettisoned. (May 6-May 20) -- You're in for quite a ride this week if you follow in a certain someone's footsteps -- or, if possible, accompany them side-by-side. A tandem journey is likely best.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- This week is likely to find opportunity for you to grow up just a little bit more -- and yes, there's always room for growth. An assignment is tackled. (June 7-June 20) -- For the first time, perhaps, you'll be doing something that people are choosing to pay attention to, especially as the week takes a turn for the unexpected.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You'll encounter several clues this week that point you in a new direction as you continue to work on a personal mystery. Pay attention to internal rhythms. (July 8-July 22) -- You cannot afford to lose interest this week, as you must remain engaged in what you started. You needn't finish at this time, but you must certainly keep going.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Your own solo efforts are likely to bet better results this week than the work others do in groups. You may not be wholly aware of what's at stake -- just yet. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Get past a point of tension early in the week and you'll be home free -- at least as far as friends and family members are concerned. This may be repeated later on.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may have to do something routine in a place that is new to you, so you must pay close attention to any and all opportunities that do and don't arise. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Technical aids may not be available to you at some point this week, but a memory of how you surmounted a certain obstacle in the past will be useful to you now.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may be quite keen on being free and unfettered in any way, but you're going to have to work within certain structures this week, like it or not. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- What happens outside the body is likely to affect you quite profoundly throughout the week. Pay attention to the rhythmic shifts that you feel both within and without.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may find this week that a decision you are loath to make is actually quite popular when it's put into practice. This leads you in a different direction. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may be tempted by a lot when a little is really best for you this week. Give yourself what you really need, know when it's enough and share it with others.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may have to put up with something that gets in your way more than once this week even as you plan for something big. You're not entirely in charge! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Don't let a distraction keep you from doing what you must, especially early in the week. You'll come to a better understanding of how your unique manner gets things done.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You've got something quite remarkable to do this week, and you can be successful so long as you have your priorities solidly in order. Avoid guesswork. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You can learn a great deal from someone who, only recently, was one of your own pupils. Things change this week, so you will want to embrace as much as possible.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Experimentation may be a large part of your week, and you may have trouble dividing your efforts into individual categories. What are you really doing? (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You can have a major impact this week even working in the background; you don't have to step forward until you know it's safe to do so. Emotions may be running high.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- A study of the way things have been will serve you well this week as you try to get something new underway. You can make good use of happy accidents. (March 6-March 20) -- You can help another enjoy something that would otherwise be quite trying this week, but know that you're going to have to absorb a certain amount of personal punishment.
