The coming week is likely to require of most individuals a higher level of scrutiny than usual -- especially when it comes to personal affairs and those things that are usually done in private. What, exactly, does this mean? It certainly doesn't mean that things must not be done, only that they must be done according to the rules or in such a way that does not adversely affect other aspects of daily life. More than anything else, each individual must act in a way that is up to his or her personal standards. In other words, everyone needs to try to do things right, in a way that meets self-approval, which is often so hard to get!

If it happens behind closed doors, greater care must be taken to be sure that those doors stay closed, and that what goes on doesn't cross the line into illicit territory. Privacy is one thing -- and worth preserving, surely. Breaking the rules -- or, worse, the law -- is something else again entirely!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Your frustration will be felt by many with whom you come in contact, and one will be able to help you relieve it just in time. (July 8-July 22) -- Only one family member is likely to be in tune with what you really need. He or she is willing to go the distance with you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may not be able to keep everything a secret, but why would you want to? Only certain things are best kept under wraps. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Your ability to inspire others to exceed expectations will have a lasting effect. Don't let anyone tell you "no"!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You'll benefit from reading as much as possible on a given topic early in the week. Later, you'll have to perform with both hands free.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You seem to have a greater sense of what things are really about this week than you have recently. Those close to you can gain much. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Your ability to see through any kind of deception or sham will serve you well throughout a complicated week.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Putting yourself in another's shoes can get you started, but it surely won't sustain you through to the bitter end. (March 6-March 20) -- The response you get to a personal inquiry may surprise you; avoid a knee-jerk reaction if at all possible!
