The coming week will encourage a new kind of daring that can lead to self-expression of a sort that results in accelerated personal growth and the achievement of something quite memorable and lasting. Those who are bound by strict rules, however, are not going to find much to shout about unless they are willing to be influenced in such a way that those rules are swept aside by the swift currents of change. Those who allow themselves to follow their instincts can rejoice when all is said and done, for they will enjoy personal victories of a sort only dreamed of by the rest. A large number of otherwise unremarkable individuals will find that they have changed dramatically by week's end -- for the better, surely, and quite possibly for life.
Free and unrestrained behavior will be rewarded all week long, though it is sure to involve some element of risk. The inherent dangers will be almost unanimously accepted as "worth it," however, since the potential rewards are so great -- and completely unavailable to those who limit themselves and opt for the safe approach.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- The week will begin slowly, but you can pick up the pace very soon. You'll find that inner strength is more important than any outward aggression. (April 5-April 19) -- Changes in your professional life are unavoidable, but they needn't lead to changes on the home front. Some things can stay the same!
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may be more excited now than at any time within memory, because you are nearing the end of a key personal cycle. Weigh your options. (May 6-May 20) -- You can afford to put more on the line than you have in the recent past, and this will increase the likelihood of success in the right situations.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may be charged with doing something difficult entirely on your own. You are the right person for the job, but keep your emotions in check. (June 7-June 20) -- You may be wondering where your support system went. In times like these, the feedback you give yourself is actually most important.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may have to work your way through a complicated emotional maze, but you'll have much to celebrate at the end of the journey. (July 8-July 22) -- Your ability to make things up out of whole cloth will certainly serve you well, though it is sure to make others suspicious in many instances.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Someone will do you a favor early in the week, and you will have a chance to return that favor in an even more meaningful situation later on. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You mustn't expect everything to be of great import. Sometimes the most routine events can bring with them the greatest satisfaction.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may sense that things are not quite as they should be, but are there changes you can make in the time you have available? (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- What appears too good to be true very likely is, but that doesn't mean you cannot make it real, with a little creative thinking and timely action!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You cannot take someone else's word for everything! You must be willing to formulate your own opinions and act accordingly. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- If you've been saving money, you will have something to spend it on. If you haven't been saving, you will discover a new reason to start!
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may wonder why the simplest things seem to be getting overcomplicated. How are you contributing to this situation? (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- The answers you seek are more distant than expected, but by week's end they should be within reach. You'll want to keep digging up clues until your curiosity is satisfied.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Someone at home is giving you every reason to make the changes you've been long considering, but the time still doesn't feel right. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You mustn't forget how your actions affect those around you. That fact will soon be demonstrated in a most dramatic fashion.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You must try to steer clear of anything that feels too good, too soon. The best things are those that you grow into. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- A road trip will introduce you to several new things, which may become key interests in no time. A loved one has many answers for you -- if only you'll ask!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You needn't overreact just because those around you are doing so. Maintain your independence at all times, through all situations. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You can work wonders by taking a calm and rational approach to that which has others running about out of control. You see things differently.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- What passes for the truth in most situations will warrant a closer look before the week is out. Make no dangerous assumptions. (March 6-March 20) -- You may try to explain yourself in ways that make sense to you, but the perceptions of others are far more important, and they may not be buying what you offer.
