The coming week is likely to require a great deal more comprehensive thinking as plans are made that take into account all apparent influences as well as unseen forces that will no doubt affect all manner of creative processes now and in the immediate future. What this means is that in order to make a solid plan and, when the time comes, enact it successfully, one must recognize all points of view.
Efficiency is likely to be the most particular and important challenge this week: How is one to get the most out of the least in all things without sacrificing quality? This is surely where another point of view can serve one well; looking at things in a new or different way can often reveal unforeseen ways of using the clock more wisely.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- How you anticipate situations and respond to them will affect others more than usual this week, and you must be sensitive to their needs at all times. (April 5-April 19) -- You are expecting something big to happen very soon, but it’s likely to be upon you even before you know it -- unless you ready yourself now, as fully as possible.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You are going to have to fulfill certain responsibilities this week before you’re able to indulge in a flight of fancy that you are sure will pay off handsomely. (May 6-May 20) -- You may receive orders of sorts this week that you’re not yet ready to follow -- but that can be remedied quickly if you’re willing to listen to some expert counsel.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may have trouble maintaining a calm, cool demeanor this week when faced with a surprise brought to you by someone you’ve long considered a rival. (June 7-June 20) -- You must behave in a civilized manner this week if you’re going to get the right kind of cooperation from others. Now is not the time to play the tyrant in any way whatsoever!
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Your creativity is likely to lead to a major accomplishment, but you may find yourself unwilling to stop there. See how far you can take this! (July 8-July 22) -- It’s a good week to let others dictate the course you will take. This needn’t be a permanent adjustment, but it can do you some good where relationships are concerned.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You will find yourself gravitating toward those who have more to offer you than your current compatriots -- though you mustn’t sever ties with them, surely! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You can provide a friend or loved one with a great deal of excitement this week -- and you’ll benefit, too, in ways you hadn’t foreseen. What might be the final payoff?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You will benefit from being unusually patient this week -- which, for you, is really saying something! You can teach others to avoid any rash actions. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may not want others to know just how much you are benefitting from something you had originally tried to avoid. Still, they’ll likely know the truth soon enough!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- A recent accomplishment may still be paying off this week. Take care that you don’t try to move too swiftly in a new direction. Follow a friend’s advice. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may be in a position to do things in a manner that no one quite expects, but shaking things up in this way will result in gains that everyone is willing to accept!
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may wish to avoid any head-on conflicts this week, but you’ll have to address a certain difficult issue with someone who is as responsible as you. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You know what’s going on this week far more than anyone else who shares your involvement, but it will do no one any good to tell them -- yet. Encourage independent study.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You are ready to begin something that another has recently abandoned, but take care you don’t compare your two efforts. You must be fully independent! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You are not likely to understand all of the messages that come your way this week, but if you follow in a certain someone’s footsteps, you’ll be ready for what comes next.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You can prove yourself worthy of much this week, but you must be specific when choosing your rewards or you’ll not wind up with what you feel you deserve. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- A certain pull from someone you don’t know well will likely take a toll this week -- but you’ll be able to recover anything that’s lost when the time comes for a response.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Pay attention to all the news that comes your way this week, as it will surely affect you in a manner that requires a new kind of response -- at least for now. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You can address all manner of issues with greater confidence this week, as your personal power is on the rise. Don’t overdo it, however; know when enough is enough.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- If you find this week that someone else is controlling things in a manner that doesn’t suit you, you can make changes -- but go through official channels! (March 6-March 20) -- Others will surely be in your corner this week, but the bout is yours to fight. You’ll find yourself relying on a lot of past training -- and a few keen instincts.
