The coming week is likely to see many individuals scrambling to catch up with work that is unfinished for whatever reason -- and that reason, in most cases, is far less important than the commitment one can and must make to complete the tasks at hand. What this means, of course, is that each and every individual has the choice this week to focus on deeds rather than words, for talk is cheap and only taking the proper actions and the right time can get things done the way they must be done. This week, freedom from distractions of all kinds is not just beneficial but necessary; the completion of jobs large and small is dependent upon focus, commitment, tenacity, and in many cases the ability to work longer hours than usual.
The divvying up of tasks will prove very important this week, where group activities are concerned. Some may be tempted just to jump in and attempt to get things done without a concrete plan -- but that way disaster lies, and may well be the cause of severe flop sweat. Each individual has unique strengths, and they must be suitably applied to projects with care and forethought.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may not have the luxury of tackling things one at a time this week; instead, you may have to get the help of those who understand what you're doing. (April 5-April 19) -- You can unveil something new this week and win the admiration of those at the top. You may also receive a pledge of resources and manpower.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You're likely to be recognized this week for skills and powers that have only recently come to light. You can address a new situation. (May 6-May 20) -- Despite what can only be called a lack of enthusiasm that plagued you in the past, this week you are able to rise to the occasion and score a personal victory.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You are expected to be front-and-center before the week is out, but you may not feel prepared just yet. Get it done! (June 7-June 20) -- What you are thinking and feeling matters far less this week than what you actually do with yourself -- and, even more so, whom you do it for.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- What you do this week isn't likely to receive the attention you feel it deserves, but you will surely be rewarded in far more lasting ways. (July 8-July 22) -- Give yourself credit for what you are able to accomplish this week, and be sure to assess your weaknesses, too, as you encounter them. Balance is key.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You are likely to get what you deserve this week. Friends line up to support you in ways you didn't fully expect you needed. Time is on your side. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Making things count is what it's all about this week. You can perhaps be in two places at once, thanks to the clever, unexpected use of technology.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You must decide this week whether to take a calculated risk or play it safe. One path brings you closer to yourself, and you know which. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may choose to go off-script for a time this week and simply do and say what you feel is right. This is, of course, the best plan right now.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may want to attempt something simpler and more stripped-down than usual; this allows you to discover something important about yourself. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- A promise to a family member must take precedence over all other commitments this week. Focus on doing what you know will elevate those around you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You score an important first this week, but it may not be recognized as a landmark accomplishment by some. You can change their minds. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You will almost certainly have many people to thank this week, for what you have to do you cannot do entirely yourself. Share the praise -- and the rewards.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Some things are simply not the stuff of jokes, and this week you must be willing to control yourself and engage in "proper" behavior. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You can step in for someone in need and help rearrange things to suit the greater good. You have the power to do much more as well, even in the time available.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You're about to embark on a journey of discovery that you've long anticipated. Risks are few this week, so you can explore unfamiliar territory. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may find yourself in the middle of something that is too big to fully comprehend; your best bet is to ride it out and maintain your sense of humor.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You're likely to be treated to something quite enjoyable this week -- but you're going to have to make room for it in your busy schedule. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may recognize several of your supporting players this week as those who have supported you in the past as well. It's time to show your gratitude.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may believe that success this week is dependent upon the employment of more people, but in fact you can get it all done on your own. (March 6-March 20) -- You will be encouraged by early returns this week, as the information you receive tells you that you and your team are definitely on the right track.
