Your Stars This Week | January 10th, 2016

The coming week will see the great majority of individuals -- if not everyone at some point -- desiring time away from it all. The reasons may be varied, but the result will be the same: Many will seek any way possible to enjoy quiet solitude as often as possible. Of course, it is not practical for everyone to avoid the company of others all week long; were that to happen, very little would be accomplished, and the world might indeed stop turning! Everyone must therefore be willing to compromise and accept the fact that, at times, it will be absolutely essential to work or play well with others, maintaining a routine level of work and accomplishment. What's the key, then? Balance! Alternating periods of work and rest can be just what the doctor ordered.

That which is cut and dried will be favored by most; few will want to wade through any sort of discovery process in order to get the answers they need. The simple reigns supreme, and the complex -- or, rather, the unnecessarily complex -- is best shunned whenever possible.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- An argument over labels and terminology is likely to spiral out of control if you're not careful to make things clear to opponents as well as allies. (April 5-April 19) -- You can embrace something new and smooth your way, or you can fight against what you do not know. The choice is yours.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Keep your eyes and ears open. Someone may be trying to ambush you in some way, but his or her reasons are unclear. (May 6-May 20) -- Any attempt at keeping a secret is likely to backfire; you'll want everything to be out in the open.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- What appears favorable as the week opens may actually turn against you if you do nothing to keep your friends close -- and informed. (June 7-June 20) -- You can avoid humiliation by being open, honest and courteous with all who seek your attention.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may have to do something that goes against your beliefs in order to promote a long-term effort that is completely heartfelt. (July 8-July 22) -- You can make a deal with someone who is usually not willing to compromise. Your ability to spot the truth pays off.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may be able to control things from behind the scenes, but someone is in on a secret that can weaken your position if revealed. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- A genuine connection can be forged, but it will take time -- and some careful negotiation. The results may surprise you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You can expand your commitment to a certain cause, but now is not the time to change how things are done. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Balance gives you what you need. A friend or loved one is willing to promote an idea that is just now ready to be shared.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- What you do on your own can provide you with a great deal of confidence and comfort, but be careful not to skip a step. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Someone close to you may not be willing to tell you everything you need to know. This means you'll have to investigate on your own.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- It will be essential for you to meet all requirements before you can begin to reap the benefits of your efforts. Don't skirt the rules! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may want more than one expert opinion before making any decision that cannot be unmade. Certainty is the key.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You can protect those around you better than usual simply by being present. It's time to put their needs ahead of your own. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You'll begin to get back a little of what you've given, but you may still wonder what it's all really about.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You'll be surprised by what is possible if you just get out of your own way. You won't have to force anything! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Routine can provide you with a certain level of comfort. You'll want to avoid anything that requires a dramatic adjustment on your part.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may have become a target of sorts, so you must employ greater care than usual, especially if travel is in the picture. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Something that is little known to you as the week opens will be very familiar to you as it closes. Keep up with developments!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may be called upon to explain your actions, but when you make clear both your motives and methods, all will be well. (March 6-March 20) -- You should be able to keep things moving at a steady pace without applying yourself any more than usual, but avoid complacency!

Your Stars This Week | January 3rd, 2016

The coming week will offer several opportunities for self-discovery and growth -- though they may not be of the sort that is easily recognized, nor may it be all that easy for everyone to take advantage of them as they arise. The best possible week will be enjoyed by those who are in some way primed for the possibilities that it holds. Those who have already been preparing for what will come -- even unconsciously, without knowing what is in store -- will come away the victors. Yet even those who are unprepared, who find it more difficult to spot the opportunities that arise, can come out ahead, provided they remain flexible and willing. Indeed, willingness itself may prove to be the single most important trait right now.

Some may find themselves looking ahead to a time that will bring difficulty of an emotional sort -- and this can prove quite daunting. To get moving may be difficult for those who see nothing but challenges and more challenges looming ahead. It's time to steel your courage, not shrink with fear!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You know just where you belong, but you may not know how to get there. You'll spot a sign or two in your travels. (April 5-April 19) -- Keep your eyes open for any indication that things are looking up, and that your odds are improving.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You can generate more income, perhaps -- but not immediately. It's time to think more economically; someone else may show you the way. (May 6-May 20) -- You don't need anyone to step in and do things for you, but you do need a little advice -- and maybe a pep talk.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Someone who knows you very well is likely to be quite understanding and sympathetic toward your current situation. You can reveal all. (June 7-June 20) -- You may discover that the due dates you've been working toward are sooner than expected. Pick up the pace!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may have to make a promise or two that will leave you beholden to someone, but a key personal problem is likely to be solved. (July 8-July 22) -- Others may not understand the situation you are in, but the advice they give can be used to sort through key issues.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You know how to do more than you realize. You're likely to stumble upon an opportunity to demonstrate this to yourself and others. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Someone who is usually quite unwilling to offer praise may seek you out and offer it -- and it's something you may long remember.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may think that you have all the time in the world, but this is not the case. This week you must use every moment as efficiently as possible. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You have quite a support structure all around you. All you have to do is take advantage of it, and ask for what you need!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Morning hours can be your most productive throughout this busy week. Be sure that others are not waiting on you to finish their own work. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You'll be gravitating toward someone who shares more than your outlook. Together you can accomplish something quite remarkable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- If it appears too good to be true, then it probably is. You'll want to be dealing in reality, not fantasy! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may discover that someone with whom you've carried on a long-term feud is ready, like you, to call it quits and make things better all around.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- What you have in mind may not be immediately possible, but it's a goal worth working toward. Lay the groundwork. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You can turn the mediocre into something special, and others are sure to come back for more when the time arrives.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- The technical support you were expecting may not materialize, leaving you to solve a problem the old-fashioned way. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may find that someone is forcing your hand, compelling you to reach out to another for counsel and hands-on assistance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may be seeing things through a distorted lens during the first part of the week, leading you to a false but temporary conclusion. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Those around you are willing to give you the support you need, but they're not likely to whitewash the truth.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Others may be sympathetic to your plight, but they can't solve the problem for you. You must dig deep and be creative. (March 6-March 20) -- You cannot compel another to trust you, but you can trust that he or she will complete a job as promised. It's a matter of faith.

Your Stars This Week for December 27, 2015

Your Stars This Week | December 27th, 2015

The coming week will see the pace pick up considerably for most -- though not everyone will have a handle on what must be accomplished when things begin to accelerate, and even fewer are likely to be the cause of that acceleration. Forces beyond anyone's control are sure to be at play all week long, driving events at a quicker tempo toward a predetermined destination -- but who has predetermined it? That is the question on most minds, as everyone tries to keep up, look ahead, anticipate opportunities, perceive obstacles and generally remain in the driver's seat as much as possible. Control is something that will ebb and flow, and some will be willing to relinquish control altogether -- at least temporarily.

Some may fret at the apparently random nature of the week, but there's very little random about it, in fact. Those who recognize this -- and there are signs! -- will be able to go with the flow much more easily than their more uptight and reactive counterparts, reaping the greatest benefits.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may have to engage in abbreviated preparation, as things start very quickly and pick up speed much faster than usual. (April 5-April 19) -- What you are not aware of can in fact put you in great peril, at least professionally. Keep rivals in plain sight.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may fall victim to the kind of shortsightedness that you have previously condemned in others. Is this really fair? (May 6-May 20) -- How you express yourself makes a big difference in all things; take care not to come off as intrusive!

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may have to step up and match someone you consider to be an overachiever; you can do it, but you must plan ahead. (June 7-June 20) -- The quality of your work will not be in doubt, but you may have to work harder than usual to keep yourself going at a steady pace.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Someone is likely to get under your skin, forcing you to confront a certain issue from which you've recently been hiding. (July 8-July 22) -- Your ability to "get over it" will serve you well. No hurts or insults should last too long.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You've been trying to manage things under another's authority for long enough. You'll get a chance to break out on your own. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You begin to realize the fruits of recent labors -- and the cost of a recent decision, as well. Be ready for action!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You don't do things quite the way others do. This is widely acknowledged, yet you may encounter some resistance. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You have the ability to overcome almost any obstacle, provided you don't slow down and let circumstances take over.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may not be able to take your mind off of certain developments far from home, sensing that they will prove important to you soon. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- What happens near you will demand attention, but you must also pay attention to subtle developments far afield.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You're eager to see what someone has in store for you, but you may have to play the waiting game throughout much of the week. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You'll be afforded brief glimpses of the way things could be, and you're eager to begin working toward that ideal.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You needn't make any major sacrifices, but you can smooth the way for something important if you're willing to compromise. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Now is the time for you to put certain secret plans into motion. You can give someone an unexpected good time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may be yearning for something a bit more "old fashioned" throughout the week, as a reaction to something new that comes your way. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You can gain the upper hand, but you must do it in a way that doesn't appear too aggressive. Don't turn off your supporters!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You'll learn a thing or two about first impressions as the week opens, and that will set the tone for much that follows. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You'll have the chance to free yourself from many of the restrictions against which you have been fighting for quite some time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You must take care that you don't overstep your bounds as you follow your instincts and try to move things forward. (March 6-March 20) -- You may not realize how others are reacting to you; a friend will keep you from making a major error.
