Your Stars This Week | June 9th, 2013

The coming week is likely to see many people taking sides in ways that they have avoided in the past. Those who are used to adversity and conflict are likely to join forces with those who were previously on the opposing side; those who are used to having things progress smoothly, harmoniously and with only the mildest disagreements are just as likely, if not more so, to engage in repeated and often heated conflicts this week. It may seem to some that the general trend is for individuals to behave in a manner that is contrary to the norm -- and this may well be true. The common denominator, however, is the presence or absence of conflict.

Those who are convinced of one thing may find themselves persuaded of something else entirely before the week is out -- in spite of their own concerted efforts to maintain the status quo. Faith in one's own view of the world may prove shaky ground at this time.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may have to mark the time in an unusual way this week. Once you think things are being done in the right order, you can relax. (April 5-April 19) -- You can maximize your own rewards this week by doing a thing or two for a rival, but don't advertise the details!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Where a little results in a little, a little more will give you a little more -- but there are limits to how much of a good thing you can enjoy. (May 6-May 20) -- You're eager to prove that which has only been hinted at or assumed recently, and you know just what you must do.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You have a great deal to gain this week, and only a very little to lose -- so do the math! It's a good week to take that leap. (June 7-June 20) -- You may be growing tired of those who insist that the same old thing can yield new and different results. Say so!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You don't have to have a lot of something to enjoy it fully this week; indeed, just a small sampling may be ample at this time. (July 8-July 22) -- What happens inside this week is likely to have a greater value for you when you take it outside. Commune with nature!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- A choice you make early in the week may come under some scrutiny by those who are calling the shots. You may have to defend yourself. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- What you see and hear this week may have you doubting yourself for a time, but a friend gets you back on track.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Someone may be recommending easy stages this week, but that approach may be too cautious. You can afford to take more of a risk. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- A minor failure this week can lead directly to the kind of success that may be long remembered.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may be needed this week for some kind of emergency, but it's not what you think, and it won't develop in the way anyone expects. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- No matter how far-fetched you may think the last explanation to be, it's likely the truth, and you must face it this week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You are likely to be asked one or two questions this week that inspire you to do something new and different with familiar tools. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- A variety of situations may stir emotions that you're not used to, but through the week you can come to terms with them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You know just how to push another's buttons, but this week the tables may be turned on you. Be ready to do something crazy. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- The most normal activities are likely to take on much greater significance this week, though the reason may elude you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may find it difficult this week to keep up with your friends, but that may only be because you haven't prepared as thoroughly as possible. (Jan. 7-Jan. 20) -- It's important for you to protect yourself and those under your care, but perhaps in a new way this week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may find yourself disagreeing with those who are usually on your side; what comes of it depends on your willingness to compromise. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may be reunited this week with someone who brings out the best -- and the worst -- in you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may be put in a position in which you do not have any real choice one way or the other, so you will have to stay the course. (March 6-March 20) -- Now is no time to cheat; you must play by the rules if you're going to enjoy the benefits of a game well played.

Your Stars This Week | June 2nd, 2013

The coming week is likely to allow most individuals to see things as they truly are -- and if you are one of those who is surprised by the notion that you may not have been doing just that already, then you have much to gain this week! All are advised to let things develop organically, without any undue pressure or influence exerted either directly or indirectly. The price to be paid for getting involved in things that cannot be truly anticipated or controlled may be quite high at this time -- much higher, in fact, than usual! All are advised to take in as much information as possible this week so that questions can yield answers when the time comes. The learning curve may be quite short this week.

How things look may not be related to how things behave this week -- which is yet another reason why close attention must be paid, even where one is most used to the things that are going on. Surprises are surely in store for those who insist on taking things for granted at this time.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may be drawn into something that you don't fully understand this week; keep your head above water and don't let another pull you down. (April 5-April 19) -- You may feel as though you are in for the same old thing this week -- but nothing could be further from the truth!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You should be able to put a past endeavor back into motion this week, though some details will certainly have had to change. (May 6-May 20) -- You have been a little too concerned with your own progress of late; this week, that of a younger person must be a priority.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may have worked hard to forge a deal that is not working out as planned. This week, you can make some rewarding changes. (June 7-June 20) -- What appears to you in one form, and to another in another, is something worth exploring further this week.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may not want to reveal everything immediately this week; keep some information and certain plans to yourself until you receive a sign. (July 8-July 22) -- The most important messages are those that come to you in the simplest form this week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- It may not be easy to explain what you are up to this week -- and to some, it may not even be necessary! Things take on a curious tone. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- It's a good week to do things that come naturally, and to avoid those things that take personal adjustments.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Your expectations are likely to be exceeded this week by the performance of another who is mounting a direct challenge to your supremacy. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Things may not seem to be progressing as planned, but it is really your expectations that are out of whack.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- It's a good week for you to take things more lightly, especially where your own personal views are concerned. Not everyone can agree! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You can pick up the pace today and push another to make a key mistake. It'll be your turn to move.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You'll be presented with an opportunity that is both expected and unusual -- but how you react will make all the difference. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may have to take the long way to your chosen destination this week -- but you can make some enjoyable stops en route.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You must work harder than usual this week to keep all lines of communication open -- and to be sure that it is truly productive. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may get the sense early in the week that someone is after you for some reason. Use appropriate caution.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You'll have but one more chance to get it right this week -- and when it arrives you'll certainly know it. Delay no longer! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- What others find attractive about you at this time may prove quite a mystery to you -- but if it works, don't change it!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You know how best to proceed this week, but another may try to derail you for a reason that is more personal than professional. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Negotiations with a loved one may prove unusually sensitive and tricky this week. Keep your eyes on the prize.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You're going to want to arrange things in a certain way today in order to meet another's expectations. Leave room for adjustments. (March 6-March 20) -- You know what is required of you this week, but you may be in doubt as to the reasons. Look into this!

Your Stars This Week | May 26th, 2013

The coming week is likely to see at least some individuals preparing for that which is not at all to transpire as expected -- and the surprises that ultimately befall these individuals will themselves be dramatic, though not long in duration. Those who guess correctly this week, who anticipate what is coming with a high degree of accuracy, can certainly enjoy a great deal of progress -- and a quickening of the pace at home, at work, and in all venues. Some change is likely this week, but nothing that might count as a "game changer" is likely to transpire -- at least not yet. This is a good week for certain individuals to strive for more, to broaden their horizons and expand their awareness of the world around them.

While it will surely be necessary to follow the rules and regulations that have previously been set down, there may be situations that allow a certain degree of flexibility -- particularly in situations that have in the past been recognized as being shaky or uncertain.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may be feeling unusually skeptical about what you are doing this week -- but this is not the way to improve your situation. (April 5-April 19) -- You may be reading too much into a message received through the grapevine this week. Don't assume it has a negative connotation!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may have to impose on a friend this week in order to break free of the kind of static situation that has been all too frequent. (May 6-May 20) -- Keep yourself and your motives well-protected this week; there are those who might do you ill if they have the chance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Certain substitutions can work wonders for you and others this week. You don't have to be so set in your ways that you can't experiment. (June 7-June 20) -- You may receive a gift of sorts from someone who has been watching you for quite some time.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may not have access to all the tools you feel you need this week, but you can gather other resources and make them work for you. (July 8-July 22) -- You're likely to find yourself in lockstep with someone you have disagreed with adamantly in the past.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may feel threatened during the first part of the week by the development of a situation you cannot control -- at first. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may feel you have the solution to a nagging problem; this week, it's a matter of selling your idea to others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may become interested in something that you have considered strange in the recent past. Your motives are changing, too. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may not understand what another is up to, but this week you may be required to work closely with him or her.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may find yourself caught between a rock and a hard place today as you try to please more than one person who is making heavy demands on you. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may risk losing something that you have worked hard to attain if you don't change course when you have the opportunity.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You can improve yourself in one or two very dramatic ways this week, and a close friend is likely to be involved in these efforts. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may be exempt from certain rules and regulations this week -- but not permanently. You must act fast!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You mustn't spend too much time adjusting the project you are currently working on; just keep on doing what you know how to do. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You're interested in getting in touch with someone you know shares that same interest; there's no reason not to!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Avoid any potentially self-destructive behavior this week, or you may find that even expected hazards are worse than ever before. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You mustn't waste your time trying to get even with someone this week; rather, focus on doing something much more positive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may only be able to measure your progress this week in very small increments -- but even those are worth something and can add up! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may be tempted to put something off again this week -- but now is the time to get it done, and you know it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may be thinking too much about what a rival is capable of doing, rather than focusing your energies on improving your own performance. (March 6-March 20) -- You can glean great meaning from even the shortest, most cryptic messages today. Keep your eyes open.
