Your Stars This Week for February 10, 2013

Your Stars This Week | February 10th, 2013

The coming week is likely to require a greater focus on balance and equilibrium for many individuals; otherwise, many events could possibly knock them off their feet. It's not so much that there are surprises in store -- though there are, certainly -- but rather that what transpires this week is likely to have a more immediate impact in a way for which it is almost impossible to prepare. That's the reason why it's so important for one to be standing squarely on two feet at all times. There's much to be said for the ability to hop, skip and jump, for such navigation can prove beneficial -- but this week standing tall and solid is a real plus.

On at least three occasions this week there may be a fuss made over something that needn't attract such attention -- but the fact that it does means that it will be something that one must deal with for longer than anticipated. What happens is, in large part, less important than how others react to it.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You can get away with more than expected this week simply by being confident -- and letting your brash side have a little free rein. (April 5-April 19) -- You must be prepared to spend a little more time on a project that you thought would be finished in no time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You're trying to figure out something that has held others in thrall for quite some time. You hold the key, even if you aren't aware of it. (May 6-May 20) -- Take the time to assess your situation with great care -- before swinging into action, if possible.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may be tempted to relive an episode that taught you a great deal about yourself -- but any new lessons aren't likely to be as positive. (June 7-June 20) -- You may have to make one or two last-minute adjustments this week as a result of a chance encounter.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You have what it takes to attract just the right kind of people to a new project -- but you're going to have to assemble a team with care. (July 8-July 22) -- Someone is likely to compel you to make a promise you know will be difficult to keep this week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You're likely to meet someone this week who makes you feel differently about a great many things -- and who challenges you in many new ways. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You're likely to find yourself competing with someone who forces you to dig deeper than you have before.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- There are those who believe you are only "faking it," but this week you can put them in their place as you achieve a new level of authenticity. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- What you have assumed for a long time is likely to be shattered in a way that has you both surprised and relieved. Much can be different this week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- That which has been missing can be found; you may not want to reach further than you have before, but circumstances will require it. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You are concerned about maintaining control -- but this week, the important things are likely to control you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You've been operating under a few key assumptions that are likely to be dispelled this week. Focus on what you know you know! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Now is no time to make someone do something that seems out of place or out of character. Play it cool this week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Give yourself more time to do the things that you usually do without thinking; this week, you'll require more in the way of moral support. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may find yourself waiting, waiting, waiting for something that is actually in someone else's hands entirely.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Putting another's needs ahead of your own this week will actually enable you to assess your needs more accurately than usual. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may feel as though you have been on the sidelines long enough; this week, you'll have the chance to take the field.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may have trouble telling a loved one just what he or she needs to hear -- though you know that you will when necessary. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Style and substance can combine this week in a way that allows you to score big points at the workplace.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- There's no accounting for taste, and this week you must avoid taking personally any suggestion that your taste is not what it should be. (March 6-March 20) -- You may not know what to make of another's overtures early in the week; adjustment may be necessary.

Your Stars This Week | February 3rd, 2013

The coming week is likely to require a far more in-depth understanding and appreciation of circumstances both large and small, expected and unexpected, fleeting and permanent -- and all who really want to make progress at this time had better be ready to devote a good deal of time to the proper study of what is going on all around them at this time. This week, assumptions can only serve to confuse and cloud the major issues -- at best! At worst, they can do serious harm, especially to those who are dependent upon others for their care and safety. It's a good time to cozy up to those who are most trusted, as they will play major roles all week long.

Those who are trying to negotiate special treatment of some sort may want to postpone such efforts until the prevailing winds are more conducive to general agreement about such things. Those who are trying to make meaningful changes in their lives may find help in the most unlikely of places.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You'll come to some important conclusions this week based on a few accidental encounters that leave you quite impressed. (April 5-April 19) -- That which is not said this week may prove far more important than anything clearly and explicitly explained.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You will want to look closely at yourself this week -- particularly at how you behave with certain other individuals, and why. (May 6-May 20) -- You'll have the chance to play the hero this week as another needs precisely what you have to offer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may be getting too wrapped up in things that are not really your concern this week; steer clear of things that can trip you up. (June 7-June 20) -- You may be grappling with issues that have only recently come up; one may prove unusually tricky.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You can expect someone to interrupt you in some way midweek, causing you to backtrack and then pick up where you left off. (July 8-July 22) -- Quality control may prove a central issue all week long. You can't afford to settle for that which is sub-standard.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may have to work much harder this week to achieve what was much easier only a week ago. This suggests a change you must navigate. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You are able to go the distance this week, but you may also be disappointed with your showing at the finish line.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- There's no need to sugar-coat that which everyone needs to hear and understand. Tell it like it is. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Before you head off in a new and exciting direction, you'll have to tend to a few tedious and routine chores. Don't be a slacker!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You can find a way to make the impossible possible this week -- or at least to make it seem as though you have. Perception counts for much. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may feel as though you got the short end of the stick -- but take another look, and rejoice!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You are eager to follow someone else's lead this week, but you may find that you have one or two ideological objections. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- What begins innocently enough as the week opens may prove to be something you should avoid at all costs.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may get so wrapped up in your own preparations this week that you never really get anything started. Don't be slow to act! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You'll have the chance to relive something through the prism of someone else's point of view this week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Consider adopting behavior that is more conducive to mental and physical health. You may not be treating yourself well! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- It may be difficult to adopt a whole new pattern of behavior, but it is necessary this week -- and you can do it!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Trouble may result from any attempts to get what you want without going through the proper channels this week. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Any attempts to pull the wool over another's eyes this week can only lead to confusion that pulls you under with everyone else.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Something that has been weighing on you for some time is likely to come to the fore this week; others are willing to help you out. (March 6-March 20) -- You may feel as though you have been somehow trapped by circumstances -- but you are solely responsible.

Your Stars This Week for January 27, 2013

Your Stars This Week | January 27th, 2013

The coming week is likely to span great distances, literally or figuratively, demanding of each and every individual a willingness to travel further and explore more widely than they have before. Much of what transpires this week will depend upon internal processes. What happens in the heart and in the head will make a huge difference to most, and may result in things that are virtually unchangeable. Indeed, this is quite a week for important decisions, and some may not have the stomach for what is required. Others, however, may feel that such decisions are long overdue, and they will be eager to see where they lead -- because even the most thought-out people will have some uncertainty!

Private pleasures can be enjoyed in full, but only after certain key business endeavors have been given the time and effort they require. Slackers are in for trouble, as they aren't likely to progress in any measurable way, and their secrets are likely to be found out. Only genuine effort is to be rewarded this week.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- There can be too much of a good thing -- but that is not something you need to worry about at this time! (April 5-April 19) -- It's important for you to stay as active as possible this week; much depends upon your physical well-being.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You'll begin the week waiting for something to come your way, and finish it glad that you received more than expected. (May 6-May 20) -- What comes first this week is likely to inspire you to action that others don't expect.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may not understand the entire meaning of a message received during the first part of the week, but you'll know how to react to its tone. (June 7-June 20) -- You are likely to have more at your disposal this week than expected, and can get a great deal done.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You know exactly where you stand, and this week you'll be working very hard to communicate your ideas and ideals to those around you. (July 8-July 22) -- Humor can be your best weapon this week, especially when dealing with any criticism that comes your way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You're going to have to bear down and be more firm than usual with a certain someone or two if you expect them to follow your rules this week. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You'll play the role of caretaker quite well this week, though for a time your head may be in the clouds.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- It's a good week to pursue that which seems elusive; it's not so much the end result, but the process itself that can bring you pleasure. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Someone near and dear to you is likely to take on a position of authority this week. Can you take orders from him or her?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You'll be affected by the weather on several occasions this week -- and once, at least, it may be much nicer than you had expected. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Any travel you do this week must be undertaken with an extra dose of caution; an unusual set of hazards lie before you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You're feeling in a rather festive, celebratory mood this week -- but what is there to celebrate? You can find something, surely! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- The tension between you and a member of the opposite sex has to be relieved this week, one way or the other.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You'll be astonished to learn that someone you have trusted all this time has really been operating on another agenda. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You mustn't let a competitor know that you have discovered his or her secret. A subtle approach is advised.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You have a lot on your plate this week, but if you tend to it one step at a time, you should be able to maintain order. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Don't let yourself become confused simply because you don't have all the information you need; haste is your only enemy this week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You can't expect everyone to live up to the standards you have set for yourself -- unless you have made it clear they must do so. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Travel is in the picture this week, but you may not know what your ultimate destination really is.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- It is not difficult to make things more complicated than they have to be; this week, focus on that which seems down to earth. (March 6-March 20) -- You may find yourself playing the waiting game as someone else works to catch up with you.
