Your Stars This Week | September 28th, 2014

The coming week is likely to require a renewed dedication to endeavors that have been long in development -- and which very soon may begin to pay off. The key, of course, is a willingness to put in that extra effort. Without it, though the status quo may be maintained, no additional rewards will be forthcoming, and some personal difficulties may result. Many individuals have recently done things to attract attention, and expectations will have risen dramatically as a result. Now it is time for all to prove that they can indeed come through as expected -- and most will do just that.

Domestic tranquility may be hard to come by this week, as so much attention must be paid to those endeavors and responsibilities that take one out of the home. Family matters, of necessity, will come second for a while. It is important for everyone to connect whenever and however they can, and to make only such promises as can be kept.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You're able to add up all your accomplishments this week and present a proposal that will get the attention of those in authority. (April 5-April 19) -- You may be surprised to learn just what you have accomplished lately -- and what it all means to those around you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You're waiting for someone close to you to respond to a newly apparent need. He or she may not be fully aware of your current position. (May 6-May 20) -- The confirmation you have been waiting for is likely to come this week, but it tells you something different from what you expected.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may feel that all you need is luck, but the truth is that you've had that all along, and this week will bring you proof. (June 7-June 20) -- You may be able to slow things down to a manageable pace toward mid-week, but only after running on all cylinders for a while.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Others may gravitate toward you throughout this busy week, eager to be a part of something they think you have in the works. (July 8-July 22) -- You may feel that you're not getting the respect you deserve, but perhaps you are only projecting.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Playtime may not be possible until you clear your schedule of some very important activities that cannot wait any longer. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You know what is expected of you, but you may be more interested in surprising those who are in charge.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Quality control may be an issue throughout much of the week. Some are eager to see you raise the bar yet again -- and soon! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Now is no time for you to wallow in anything akin to self-pity. You must be strong, confident and capable.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may find yourself on a "bullet train" of sorts, scrambling to finish a project on time and, if you can, under budget. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22 -- You'll be waiting for information from another this week -- information necessary to the next step of a key endeavor.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may have to make adjustments to your plans this week to account for a shortage of certain resources. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Once you get moving this week, you'll not have many opportunities to stop and rest. Be sure you've "stocked up" as necessary.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You'll want to review all of the rules and regulations to which you are subject. Some may be able to change ever so slightly. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Contact with one who is in a position to help you can be made in a creative and effective way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You're eager to increase your own efficiency and effectiveness. Focus on steps that can be taken in a clear, prioritized order. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- What appears unlikely as the week opens may soon become not only possible, but probable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You must watch the clock carefully as you try to juggle a great many responsibilities. Not everyone will express his or her needs clearly. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You're eager to win the support of someone who has been reluctant to back you in the past -- but it can be done.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- The pace quickens with each new accomplishment. You'll want to keep track of what your money buys you -- large or small. (March 6-March 20) -- You're giving others all you can, but you'll also want to give yourself what you most need right now.

Your Stars This Week | September 21st, 2014

The coming week will usher in the closing phases of something that has been quite important to large groups of people overall -- and even more so to certain individuals who have committed more than others to this particular line of endeavor. Those who have taught themselves to welcome and appreciate the changes that life brings about -- the ending of one phase and the beginning of another, for example -- will fare well this week, though because of their strength, they may seem to some to be rather aloof or even cold. Others are not willing to let go so easily, and are likely to have a hard time coping with this ending, despite the fact that it points to something new just around the corner.

Some may have cause to worry about money matters this week; they have been engaged in efforts that have been filling the coffers, perhaps, but the regular source of income may not be available in the weeks to come. No one should sit back and wait for opportunity to come knocking; all should actively seek it out!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- It may be worth it for you to churn things up a bit, particularly during the first few days of the week. How others react will tell you much. (April 5-April 19) -- What sounds like a plan to you may seem like so much nonsense to someone you usually trust. What is he or she really saying?

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may want to protect yourself from some routine influences in order to ensure that your work is all new and original. (May 6-May 20) -- You're taking something of a gamble at this time. What another has to offer is not likely to sustain you as expected.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may not be equipped with all the tools required to judge a certain situation accurately. A friend comes through just in time. (June 7-June 20) -- You may be demonstrating to others what you think is sound judgment, but they may think that you've simply lost touch in some way!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- A central relationship may be tested as you try to step out of your comfort zone in some way. (July 8-July 22) -- You may have to draw a clear line in the sand as someone else challenges you and offers what will soon become a palpable threat.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- What you think is a joke is something very serious to someone close to you. It may be time to reconsider your own position. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Someone you love may feel partly abandoned if you spend even more time indulging in a private pleasure. Avoid this!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Looking ahead, you may spot a weakness in your planning that can be strengthened throughout the week. Get some expert advice. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You're nearing the end of something that has engaged your mind and body for quite some time. What have you learned?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- It's time to stop thinking you can do everything on your own, and reach out to someone who wants to give you some valuable assistance. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Others may not respond as expected to what you do as the week begins, prompting the need for some changes on your part.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You seem to know better than most what is just around the corner, what it means to you and those closely involved with you. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Once you've started something, you're not going to want to stop until you've finished it. It's time to buckle down!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Others may be asking you to put your money where your mouth is, but you know that it's not money that is really needed at this time. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You're after something that cannot easily be defined, but you feel compelled to continue along this path until it is yours!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Friends and family are likely to come together in support of a new idea that you have only just revealed. Exciting things are in the works. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You'll feel a certain pull that becomes more and more powerful as the days pass. What is its source?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- If you're not going to follow through, then why start in the first place? This week, only commitment and tenacity will be rewarded. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may have more to do than you had originally estimated, but if you prioritize correctly, you can get it all done.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- The stars have something rather unusual in store for you, and your excitement level is sure to rise as a result. (March 6-March 20) -- Someone in a position of authority may want to hear what you have to say about new ideas that are only just being explored.

Your Stars This Week | September 14th, 2014

The coming week is likely to see the end of a significant phase draw near, but oddly, and perhaps comically to some, there are those who may not have even known they were in the midst of any kind of phase in the first place! Indeed, so subtle is the current, ending phase that most are not even aware of its impact on daily life, even if they had a sense that they were going through something of some import. The most important thing for everyone to do at this time is assess current circumstances and analyze, in any way possible, what the effects have been of this phase as it winds down. For indeed, if it passes without being noticed at all, it may actually prove harmful!

Those who have been immersed in collaborative efforts lately may find that it is beneficial to concentrate on activities that can be performed solo. And, conversely, there may be some who are tired of being on their own, and this week brings more than one opportunity to work closely with others.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You'll be playing a central role at some point, but you may not have time to prepare as fully as you would like. Trust your instincts. (April 5-April 19) -- You'll seem to know just what to do early on, but your assessment may change as the days go by.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You cannot afford to be self-indulgent at this time. When engaged in an activity you enjoy, do it only as long as you really have to! (May 6-May 20) -- You may want others to behave exactly as you do this week, but that is simply not possible. You must increase your tolerance level.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Honesty is the best policy, especially when you are providing information that others use to make decisions that will affect you. (June 7-June 20) -- Your interaction with those you do not know well may prove most important to you as the week comes to a close.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You will have to do a lot of homework to prepare yourself for a test of sorts that others may not have to take. (July 8-July 22) -- Do you understand the role you are to play as thoroughly as possible? Your influence is likely to be great when all is said and done.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may be eager to take someone else up on an offer that sounds too good to be true -- but use caution, as it probably is just that! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You're ready to take on quite a challenge, but it may come to you in a form you had not anticipated. All can still be well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7 -- Much will transpire, and you may have to work harder than usual to keep up and stay abreast of all developments. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Cancelling one thing in order to make room for another may not be the best strategy; you can actually find a way to fit in both!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may be seeking financial support for a project that you know will be successful, but you may have trouble persuading potential backers. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Focus on that which can be proved; supporting your contentions with evidence is essential at this time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may only be compounding your troubles if you refuse to come clean about something you had hoped would go unnoticed. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Those around you are likely to be supportive, but you must adopt a strategy of full transparency.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- There are others waiting for you to arrive, but you may be slowing the pace intentionally to put off the inevitable. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- That which has been part of the plan for quite some time cannot suddenly be excised from it. You must see it all through.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may be the one to make the most forward-thinking decisions. Others will be eager to see where those decisions can lead. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- It's important for you to keep everything in perspective. Avoid any kind of knee-jerk reaction.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You must remain true to yourself, and follow through wherever your intentions feel solid and justified. Don't just make things up! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Your travels will take you to some surprising places, and you're likely to meet someone who impacts you in a new way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You have less to fall back on than you have had in the past, so you need to move forward even if you are facing long odds. (March 6-March 20) -- The work you and a friend do together will attract the attention of one who can do you an important favor.
