Your Stars This Week | August 9th, 2015

The coming week is likely to see a confrontation arise between conflicting ideologies -- and, in many cases, the battleground may well be within an individual's own mind and psyche. What this means, of course, is that many will be torn, internally, between two very different perspectives, ideas, plans or strategies, both of which seem viable on one hand, yet on the other seem to go against one's own sense of what is right, proper and acceptable. Honest reflection and talk can solve this problem, freeing troubled individuals from the kind of internal conflict that can prove quite detrimental. Those who aren't willing to talk about what is going on are sure to prolong it -- and suffer the consequences.

It is likely that many will realize that while they may have been considering only two options and making themselves vulnerable to internal conflict and stress, a third option actually exists. The recognition of this other choice can make the difference between success and failure.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You should be able to repair any damage that results from an unavoidable conflict. Stay connected! (April 5-April 19) -- Family members give you every reason to stay the course, and you'll discover a way to maximize your rewards.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may be considering a course of action that is not likely to be popular, even though you are certain it is necessary. (May 6-May 20) -- It's important for you to remain in control of your emotions -- especially when you are confronted with ideas different from your own.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may be approached by someone who wants to make a deal. The rest of the week will follow a course that promotes this new arrangement. (June 7-June 20) -- You may claim that things are getting out of control, but this is likely an overreaction to certain unexpected developments.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may see some of your more unusual ideas become far more mainstream. What happens next may surprise even you. (July 8-July 22) -- A negotiation results in several new possibilities. One, at least, proves quite attractive to you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Your home may become a battleground as you attempt to sort out issues that are pulling family members in two directions. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- High performance depends upon efficiency and the ability to close your eyes and mind to potential distractions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Your own perceptions may be undergoing change, yet you must remain closely in touch with your own core ideals. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Now is no time to talk about what you must do; rather, you must be willing to do it. Action alone brings a payoff.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- The more open you are, the more honest you can be -- and honesty brings you in touch with what really matters. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You must be willing to accept responsibility for what happens after you do what others will not.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Your own assumptions are working against you, though you may not be aware of the real dangers you face as a result. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You'll want to follow certain clear steps in order to make your overall plan come to fruition. Nothing happens by accident.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You've gone beyond an experimental phase, and you'll soon want to do things for real. Others are ready to lend a hand. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- While others are tempted to run for cover, you're ready to face what comes head-on. Your courage will prove an inspiration to others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- An exchange between you and one who espouses a very different view may result in a new kind of cooperation that makes anything possible. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You're not likely to do what is expected of you; rather, only that which comes from within. Your own motives matter most.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may hit the jackpot, if only figuratively. Events will send you on a journey chock full of opportunity and reward. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You have much to say in your own defense, but what is most important is that you get others to focus on the central issue.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You've been warned not to wait until it's too late. You'll soon have the opportunity you've long anticipated. (March 6-March 20) -- What goes on in and around your home provides you with a new way of looking at things. Family members will prove supportive.

Your Stars This Week | August 2nd, 2015

The coming week is likely to see at least two contrasting forces converge -- and the result is sure to be a dramatic development that demands immediate attention, one that will likely have a profound effect on all involved for quite some time. Who will be affected, and in what way, are the questions many will be asking, but the answers cannot be calculated in a rational, linear fashion. Indeed, the greatest challenge to everyone may be to wait and see what happens -- for patience may be the only way to deal with the week's events. Anticipation, while usually a valuable and necessary tool, isn't likely to be all that effective.

As the poet said, "the readiness is all" -- and this week, those who are ready will stand the best chance of coming out on top. Even where obstacles are unusually formidable, or challenges unusually complex, being ready for anything can be the deciding factor.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- A reunion of sorts results in personal enjoyment and professional gain. You'll have much to be thankful for by the weekend. (April 5-April 19) -- You aren't really in a position to claim victory just yet, but that end is surely in sight.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You'll want to be sure that everything adds up with mathematical precision. Don't forget to add in last-minute revelations. (May 6-May 20) -- What transpires may try your patience, but if you resist the temptation to overreact, you can surely come out on top.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- It may be time for you to chime in on a certain topic that you know perhaps better than anyone. Others are promoting faulty notions. (June 7-June 20) -- You can contribute something quite memorable. As far as you're concerned, it's nothing out of the ordinary.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You've waited quite a while to climb to the rung on which you are now perched -- and the view is extraordinary, if you just take the time to look. (July 8-July 22) -- There's no point in holding a grudge of any kind; it will only get in your way and hurt your future chances.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Your ability to create something new and stunning out of whole cloth will prove invaluable. You can surprise your critics. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Travel may prove more complicated than expected as the behavior of others throws a wrench in the works.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may fear that irreparable damage has been done, but in fact, you're already well on your way to a full recovery. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Your attention span may be rather short, but as luck would have it, that suits what you have on the docket quite well.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You'll want to thank someone who has come through in the nick of time. Don't wait until you've both moved on to other things. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You've been waiting quite a long time for something that is at last just around the corner. Final preparations can be made.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may not understand just how bad a certain situation appears to someone else, but you can take his or her word for it -- that's a start. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may wish that you could hide from a certain heavy responsibility, but the time has come at last for you to tend to it once and for all.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Be sure to take in your surroundings, wherever you go. Peripheral awareness can save you from embarrassment or danger. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may make more minor errors than usual, but they'll only cause you real trouble if you fail to acknowledge them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Your ability to anticipate another's behavior will save both of you from certain dangers. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- A friend or co-worker has a proposition for you. Although it may require a sacrifice, it's well worth considering.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may be facing a startling deadline as the week opens, but if you keep your head, you can surely satisfy all expectations. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You're eager to take on an assignment that gives you the chance to display your talents. Things may transpire differently.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You are sought after for your expertise in a certain area. What you have to offer is rare indeed, but you're not the only game in town. (March 6-March 20) -- Someone is willing to give you more of what you want than originally arranged, but are you going to have to give more yourself before all is said and done?

Your Stars This Week | July 26th, 2015

The coming week will see the past and the present merge together in unexpected but valuable ways for many individuals. Those who are eager to learn from what has gone before in order to secure the best for themselves in the time ahead will benefit greatly from all that transpires. Those who have little connection with tradition or heritage, or who think that anything old is merely old-fashioned and therefore of little use, are sure to have a hard time of it -- or, at the very least, they will miss the boat when it comes to combining the best of what was with the best of what is and building for themselves a bright future.

Attention to every conceivable detail is required. Those who are willing to let things slide -- for whatever reason -- are going to hear about it from someone, at some point, and the result of such an encounter is not likely to be pleasant. There's no excuse for doing less than one can; only the best will reap the best.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Long-range planning is a big part of your week, but you mustn't lose sight of your immediate surroundings as you look ahead. (April 5-April 19) -- You'll know a mistake when you make it, and that should give you enough time to undo it as best you can. Don't get stymied!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You and a partner must be willing to roll up your sleeves and work together. Solo efforts aren't likely to yield results. (May 6-May 20) -- You must be ready to stop what you are doing and move in another direction quickly should the opportunity arise.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You must work hard to get back on track. If you are able to get back where you belong, you'll begin to score new successes. (June 7-June 20) -- Someone who knows what he's doing is going to give you the guidance you need. The week will have its ups and downs.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may have trouble getting used to some of the changes that are happening all around you. Keep your wits about you at all times. (July 8-July 22) -- If things become tense early on, you must be willing to relinquish control and listen to another.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You and your team have got to know who is really in charge, or the week is sure to be a confusing disappointment. Get in the game! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may find that you are doing a certain thing for all the wrong reasons. You have a chance to change course.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You know where to turn to get the proper perspective on what you think is going wrong. Don't hide anything! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You have much more going on than you think, and any attempt to sidestep certain issues will backfire on you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may take something just a bit too far and send everyone over the edge at some point. A quick fix is out of reach. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You're eager to hear from someone who has been out of touch for a while. Even a simple "hello" can turn you around.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Now is no time for you to recede into the shadows. You must be willing to step front and center and take on a leading role. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You're waiting for someone close to you to cross the line, but he or she knows your limits and is on good behavior.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- A breakdown in communication must not be blamed on another; you are responsible for those within your inner circle. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You know who is trying to get the better of you, but you have a few tricks up your sleeve and can come out on top.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You're eager to show someone just what you know and what you can do with that knowledge. Don't get carried away, however. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- The behavior of another may have you seeing red at some point, but take care you don't sacrifice a pet project as a result.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Someone is trying to help you, but it's not going to work if you allow yourself to get defensive -- or worse, act high and mighty. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You're ready to do something special for someone who is by your side almost all the time. Give him or her your full attention.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You're waiting for a confirmation from someone you expect to collaborate with very soon, but he or she has a surprise for you. (March 6-March 20) -- You're trying too hard to prepare for what comes. Instead, you're burdening yourself with unreal concerns.
