The coming week will require of most individuals the willingness and ability to pay close attention to deadlines -- perhaps closer than has been paid before. The need to get things done on time is absolute; the price to pay for being late -- whether as a result of carelessness, procrastination, a lack of awareness or circumstantial difficulty -- is likely to be quite high, and some may find that it is not a cost they wish to incur. It shouldn't be difficult to do what has been assigned in the allotted time; truly, all it will take is a commitment to getting things done -- and getting them done in a solid, acceptable fashion.

The real winners will be those whose preparation has been so complete that there is little or no doubt that things will get done on time. Their stress level should be low, and the rewards offered for meeting expectations quite valuable! The losers, as usual, are those who simply cannot -- or will not -- rise to the occasion.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You have so much going on beneath the surface that not even close friends and loved ones can understand it all. (April 5-April 19) -- What makes you happy is something others may not value as highly as you do. You are set apart by even more than that.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- It's a good week to focus on all aspects of your domestic affairs -- home, family and friends. A little redecorating can work wonders! (May 6-May 20) -- You're approaching a landmark of sorts, though you may be of two minds about it. Focus on what keeps you actively involved.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You'll want to take steps to ensure that what you have worked for will last. Now is the time to make a bold move. (June 7-June 20) -- You may not believe everything you hear, but one piece of information may actually make the difference between success and failure.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You're coming to the end of a weeks-long phase marked by intermittent hard work and stress. It's all going to pay off, surely! (July 8-July 22) -- You have a knack for putting people where they need to be, even when it means making a personal sacrifice yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Someone wants more from you than your mere presence; you must not only be there, but you must be committed and attentive. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may not be fully aware of how hurtful even the most casual remark can be. Take care you don't turn a friend against you!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You must be ready to take one for the team; indeed, your extra effort can be beneficial to a surprising number of people. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Others are waiting for you to unveil something you've been working on for some time -- but are you truly ready? Assess carefully.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Watch the clock, and you'll realize that you have timed most things very well. One item in particular stands out. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You will enjoy an unusual opportunity as the week opens, and how you fare will determine the course of several succeeding days.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You must have all necessary information at your fingertips if you wish to do all that you have said you will do. Mislay nothing! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- A friend may be surprised when he or she discovers the true depth of your feelings -- and how long you've felt this way!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You can get a great deal done during the first few days of the week before a slowdown threatens to derail you. Be prepared! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may be unusually emotional. The cause can be uncovered when you examine what a friend is actually asking of you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may not be able to keep up with someone the way you think you must, but if you rearrange your thinking, anything is possible. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- A conflict between right-thinking people -- on both sides -- can be eased, but it's likely to be up to you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You are becoming far more interested in what a certain party is trying to do than you have been in the past. You can contribute much. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Others may misunderstand your motives as the week begins, but soon they are likely to come around and support your efforts.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You can fill a void, of sorts; don't be afraid to speak your mind, especially when you are given the floor. (March 6-March 20) -- What you say and do can give others hope and inspire them to reach further than they have before.
