YOUR STARS by Stella Wilder

The coming week is likely to present conflicting situations that, when combined, will appear to many as challenges, obstacles or setbacks that are difficult -- if not impossible -- to overcome. Such is not the case, of course, though it is difficult to convince someone otherwise who has decided that the deck is stacked against him! What is required this week, of those who are determined to rise above complication and difficulty, is the mere will to do so, combined with the proper and timely application of skill. The more unique to the person and to the situation that skill is, the better!

This week, some may feel as though they have been left out in some way, that others close to them are having all the fun and enjoying all the rare opportunities -- but all must remember that those "others" are likely feeling exactly the same way! It's all a matter of perspective; no one is either all "up" or all "down."

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Quality is what counts at this time, and you may have to wage battle with those who are far more interested in quantity. (April 5-April 19) -- You'll receive a welcome reminder that you are not as far from those who really matter as you might have thought.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may be scouting the terrain for previously unrecognized obstacles -- but only by forging ahead can you really know what's out there. (May 6-May 20) -- Now is no time to think of yourself as an outsider; you are as much a part of things as anyone!

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may feel as though you have more to prove this week than most others -- and indeed, you may have some ground to make up at this time. (June 7-June 20) -- You can give someone some much-needed comfort this week, and enable him or her to rise above a nasty situation.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- The information you seek is at your fingertips -- all you have to do is trust in the tools you have to work with at this time. (July 8-July 22) -- You may not be entirely in sync with those who are striving to accomplish something rare -- but direct conflict should be minimal.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You're likely to be recognized for your work this week, but not in the way you had imagined. Other surprises come your way as well. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may feel as though you are sitting squarely behind the eight-ball, but in fact you do have wiggle room.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You can put a clever spin on things this week without calling too much attention to yourself. When in doubt, focus on the end result. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Someone in charge may object to the way you do things, but they certainly cannot object to the results!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may require the assistance of someone who is not used to helping out -- but the right words can surely be persuasive. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may not think that you're in the right place at the right time, but what happens may prove that you are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Your usually vivid imagination may fail you this week, making it difficult to see where you are actually heading. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You'll realize a thing or two about a close friend that affects how you launch a new and exciting project.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may be facing a situation that requires you to spend much more money than you had anticipated. It's time to put a budget on paper. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You can score more than one important "first" this week, and others are sure to take notice.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You're likely to uncover an important lead today that allows you to make headway at an increased pace. Don't get carried away, however! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Though you are nominally in charge today, you'll want to give those doing the work a good deal of freedom.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may be operating under a mistaken notion this week that keeps you from fulfilling your true potential. It's time to shake off any bad feelings! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- It's a good week for reaffirming your commitment to a project or cause. Soon you'll be able to make real headway.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Working things out to your advantage this week is likely to take some juggling -- of time and resources. Don't let the blues sink in! (March 6-March 20) -- The sooner you start chipping away at the week's responsibilities, the better. Don't waste time!

Your Stars This Week | February 24th, 2013

The coming week is likely to see the vast majority of individuals adjusting to what seem like new rules -- when, in fact, there is nothing new about them at all! What is happening, of course, is that there has been a growing rift between one's perception of the world at large, and the way the world has really been evolving -- resulting in a disconnect. It's time to close that gap, to repair that disconnect, and to get back on track -- for most people -- and it will seem this week as if the rules have changed. It's not so much the rules, but what is required by circumstances that have been increasingly misinterpreted.

This week, there is a serious risk of overcomplicating things -- and those who do overcomplicate matters, be it at home or at the workplace, are likely to find themselves battling a current that grows stronger and more dangerous every day. Those who stick to the simple things have a marked advantage this week.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You'll receive a few important offers this week, but only one shows any real potential for you -- and you know which it is. (April 5-April 19) -- Things are looking up, and you can look forward to increased productivity -- and fun, too!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You've been dedicating a great deal of time and effort to a project that is not really yours; it may be time to put an end to it. (May 6-May 20) -- Others may doubt that your ideas will pan out as you expect, but your patience -- and will -- are sure to pay off.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may be waiting to hear the news from afar that will affect you in the months to come. You can't make firm decisions without that information. (June 7-June 20) -- Now is the time for you to take decisive action, and to stop another's attempts to derail you.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may be invited to join an effort that is far more philanthropic than it seems on the surface. You have a lot to offer. (July 8-July 22) -- You may have to do a great deal on your own this week that is usually considered worthy of a group effort.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- What appears easy to you is likely to be quite difficult this week, and vice versa. The decisions you make may surprise family members. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Now is the time to change course. Delays this week can only serve to threaten the outcome.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Policy and productivity may not be in sync this week; you'll be fighting to get things done while officials insist they be done differently. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- It's the results that really count this week, and you needn't worry about how others will react to your methods.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You'll find yourself getting more and more involved in another's affairs as the week progresses -- but is this really good for you? (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You'll have a few important questions to ask this week, and they must be asked in the proper order, too!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Trying to do things in a random, haphazard manner can only serve to set you back days or weeks. Follow the rules; prioritize! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You have the feeling that this may be your last real chance to get a certain thing done; don't pass it up!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- It's a good week for you to clarify some hazy issues at home; you've been working toward the right goals, but without real support. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may feel as though all the important things are happening in the next room. Get in there!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- The start of something big can be enjoyed with friends and family, or alone -- and there is much to be said for both choices. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- The earlier each day begins, the better your chances of accomplishing what is expected of you this week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Things will seem to make sense to you this week only after you have received all pertinent info and taken the time to assess it closely. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Luck is likely to play an important roles in your week -- but it's no substitute for skill.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may have failed to find your footing until very recently, and this week you'll start to make more significant progress in all areas. (March 6-March 20) -- You may feel as though you've gotten the short end of the deal -- but improvements are on the way.

Your Stars This Week | February 17th, 2013

The coming week is likely to develop in such a way that those with the most positive, progressive attitudes are given the advantage -- and when the time comes, they will be able to name their own rewards in many cases. Indeed, the greatest possible reward for maintaining a positive outlook is the ability to accomplish that which is most desired. For the upbeat, the forward-thinking and the optimistic, hard work this week is almost guaranteed to produce the desired results. Those who do not share such an attitude or outlook are not destined to fail, surely -- but the odds against them may be greater throughout the week.

Some may find that those ideas that had previously been met with skepticism, or even outright laughter, can prove the most productive this week -- though there must always be a steady foundation in order for such ideas to come to fruition in a lasting way.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Those who are most admired may, this week, provide a certain amount of disappointment -- and you'll be in a position to pick up the slack. (April 5-April 19) -- The behavior of a loved one may be unusual this week, prompting you to investigate. Respect boundaries!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Take things one at a time this week and you should be able to avoid that feeling of being in over your head. (May 6-May 20) -- Someone close to you is willing to up the ante, keeping this lively and competitive. You can win this one!

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may think that you can't have too much of a good thing -- but this is simply untrue, and the events of this week are sure to prove it. (June 7-June 20) -- You're in a position that will allow you to speak your mind without endangering your reputation in any way.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may not behave entirely according to the rules this week when you hear what has been going on behind your back. (July 8-July 22) -- Those who know you well know just how you can react when you are wronged in a certain way -- and it may happen this week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may not agree with the experts or pundits, and before the week is out you are likely to have an audience eager to hear why. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- The dreams you have this week may actually shock you and inspire you in turns. Both reactions are valid.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may be in charge of gathering a team to accomplish something that many think is impossible. Your ideas push the envelope. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You'll be learning from a glimpse into your own past this week -- but take care you don't get stuck there!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may react in a way that takes others by surprise this week when you get word of words or actions that go against your own expectations. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Others are waiting for you to provide detailed instructions; do it soon, or they can't do what you've asked.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You have what it takes to reinvent yourself successfully this week, if that's what is required. If it's not required, it's not recommended. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You know what's coming your way this week, and you know that you're going to have to face it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You must be ready to face consequences of your actions that are in no way what you have been expecting; they may, in fact, be better! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You are not able to avoid everything negative this week, but you can turn much of it to your advantage.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Are you in a position to share freely what you learn this week? By sharing it, you make the best possible use of it. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- A personal situation arises this week that demands more of you than you may feel is possible -- at first.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may wonder how you could possibly be deserving of the kinds of things that come your way this week -- negative and positive. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may have to share what you had hoped would be yours alone this week -- but sharing can yield unexpected rewards.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Disagreements may arise this week from situations that are designed to foster the opposite -- but some partners may be inflexible. (March 6-March 20) -- You're waiting for something to be done before moving on to that irresistible opportunity that beckons.
