Your Stars This Week | August 16th, 2015

The coming week will require many individuals to scour their schedules with tremendous care, as there is more in the offing than anyone might have anticipated. Each new wrinkle will demand the utmost attention and could seem like the single most important thing that happens during the week. That kind of importance is, of course, a matter of context and perspective -- not everyone will react in the same way when a matter of import demands time and attention. Indeed, some may actually refuse to react to such things, choosing to ignore them instead of focusing on them as they should. Such behavior is inexplicable, since that which appears to be important this week is important indeed!

Emotional undercurrents are likely to be much more prominent than usual; in fact, one might even call them "overcurrents"! Anyone who shies away from emotionally charged situations will find him- or herself left out in the cold when all is said and done; a willingness to feel things deeply is a requirement for success at this time.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You're likely to benefit more from knowing too little rather than too much -- at least where a certain family issue is concerned. (April 5-April 19) -- Though you may insist that there's no such thing as perfect, a certain piece of evidence points to the contrary.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may be able to hear or see what is correct, but at the same time, you're likely to have some trouble replicating it. (May 6-May 20) -- You may wonder at the wealth of knowledge a colleague displays -- and the dearth displayed by someone else.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You mustn't try to sneak up on a key issue; address it directly, confidently and with full knowledge of what you must do. (June 7-June 20) -- Take care not to move so quickly that others miss the very thing you most want them to see and appreciate.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You're seeking help from the wrong source, perhaps. It's best if you take a step back and approach the problem from another angle. (July 8-July 22) -- You may have trouble forgetting some information you merely overheard. You'll want to do something about it later.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You and a friend may be tempted to keep score, but you'll soon realize that there is no place for such a competition. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may want to move on to something different, but circumstances are likely to keep you squarely on task.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Others are likely to pay close attention to you when you would much prefer to remain anonymous. You can bear this gracefully. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Your idea of "socializing" may prove to be much more than anyone else is game for. You needn't be so intense.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You'll come up with a wonderful idea as a result of playful brainstorming with friends. Consider all options. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may find yourself responsible for more than the usual routine duties. One who is in your care makes an unusual demand.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- A playful flirtation must not be allowed to evolve into something more without your express understanding of what may happen. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You'll be in much more control of your emotions than expected. As a result, you can avoid a trap into which others are falling.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Do a thing once, and it will suffice; do it twice, and it will likely attract a special kind of attention. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You're eager to see what lies ahead after you round the next turn, but someone may be trying to distract you or slow you down.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may find yourself teetering on a kind of emotional precipice. A friend finds a way to pull you back from the edge. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- It would be best to mind your own business and tend to personal affairs in a manner that gives you more privacy than usual.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Your perspective differs dramatically from that of a partner or friend -- one who is perhaps beginning to think you're not playing fair! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Now is the time for you to give another the chance to shine. He or she will do you proud -- and return the favor when the time comes.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may be waiting for the time to be just right for a certain new endeavor, but you should get started now rather than later. (March 6-March 20) -- You may not understand what another is reaching for, but you know enough to stay out of the way! Watch from a distance.

Your Stars This Week for August 09, 2015

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 for August 02, 2015

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?
