The coming week is likely to see at least half of any cohort of individuals grappling with an issue that isn’t nearly as important to the other half -- and this may lead to conflict that puts relationships at risk due to the inevitable assignment of blame that will occur, whether right or wrong. Those who take on the responsibility of helping others navigate these situations as they arise will surely benefit -- but not right away.
Recommendations of all kinds must be sifted through this week before the right course is taken -- and whether it is “right” or “wrong” depends in large part on the individual calling the shots. No one should assume that what is decided is right for everyone -- and there will surely be many shades of gray among all the black and white issues at play right now.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may have to come to your own defense this week as your methods are criticized by those who do not understand your true motives. Tell the truth. (April 5-April 19) -- Information you receive this week will all add up to something that allows you to do more than you had planned -- and collect more in the way of rewards, too.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- A change in your point of view may surprise those around you even before you recognize that it has happened. You can make it work wonders for you very soon. (May 6-May 20) -- You’re going to have to face an issue this week that others have brought up before but you have chosen to ignore. The time has come to acknowledge what matters most.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Take care that any comments you make about someone else’s performance this week are not mistaken by others to be combative. That can cause daily frustrations. (June 7-June 20) -- You may be surprised this week when someone you’ve long underestimated makes a suggestion that, when implemented, makes a big difference in a variety of ways.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Attempts to follow in someone else’s footsteps are likely to go awry this week, but only because you’re actually ready to follow your instincts more. (July 8-July 22) -- You are in need of something to help you see through the clouds of misunderstanding that have kept you from solving a personal mystery. It may well come your way this week.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You are seeking a rewarding project that offers opportunity rather than immediate results. This reflects an increase in maturity and greater emotional balance. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may not be able to strike out on your own this week, but with a close friend by your side, you can surely follow the desired path without incurring serious risks.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Focus on primary goals this week, but know that soon you’ll have to dig deeper and come to a more complete understanding of your own secondary motives. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Accidents happen, but it’s what you make of them that really counts -- especially now, when you’ll likely be dealing with fated events all week long.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Embrace the unconventional rather than eschewing it this week; you’ll rise to a new level of accomplishment. Your methods may well require updating. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may stumble onto something this week that requires a good deal more concentration than usual, but the results you enjoy as a result are likely to be quite memorable.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Give yourself what you are regularly giving others and you’ll surely benefit in a few surprising ways this week -- and someone special will be proud. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- It’s time to stop waffling; make a firm decision about what lies directly ahead of you. You have a few decisions to make, and you must begin making them this week.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You must stop undervaluing your abilities and contributions. This week you’ll have a chance to rejoin a certain group that knows what you’re worth. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Your tenacity will be more than admired this week if all goes as planned -- it will be celebrated -- and there are many who will want to join you in your efforts very soon.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- The bargains you’re after this week may actually be deceptive. Seek out something that is really what you think it is, not simply a false hope. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- It’s time to get in touch with someone who can give you the boost you need right now -- professionally or personally. This is more than just a blast from the past.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may not wish to socialize much this week, and you needn’t -- except when there is something you want from someone who is always out and about. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- What secret fear is keeping you from getting in touch with the one person who can open the door to where you really want to go? This week they’ll surely listen to you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- The plans you make this week will not serve you as well as you have hoped -- yet. When things are finally in full swing, you’ll score anticipated victories. (March 6-March 20) -- You may have to step in for someone who is suddenly in over their head -- but what makes you think you can handle what someone else cannot? Your confidence is high!
