The coming week will put many individuals in the middle of things they do not understand, have never anticipated or are unprepared to deal with in any real or immediate fashion -- but that doesn't mean the week cannot be a positive one, worth remembering when all is said and done! Indeed, having to deal with the new, unexpected, difficult or simply time-sensitive will force each and every individual, even those merely watching from the sidelines, to dig a little deeper, try a little harder and ultimately be a little better for the effort -- and that's something that can last a lifetime! Being quick to react will count for much, and having the sense to know whether a task is complete or not will surely make the difference between success and failure.

Emotional currents may be stronger than usual, and some people may simply decide that it is not possible to balance the inner and the outer in an effective way -- but this would be an error. Indeed, it is essential that feelings and actions come together in a way that promotes progress and growth.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You need a little more emotional fuel, and you can get it from a source that is not usually available to you. (April 5-April 19) -- It's a good week to assert yourself in a way that doesn't put anyone else out. Plan ahead with care.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You can recover from a physical or emotional injury very quickly -- provided, of course, that you tend to yourself properly. (May 6-May 20) -- You can surprise even those in your inner circle by doing something you've been planning for some time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Quality control may prove to be an issue, but if you put yourself in charge, you'll be able to exert just the right amount of influence. (June 7-June 20) -- The time has finally come for you to get started with something that has been in the planning stages for quite a while.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may feel as though you have to be in three places at once, but two should suffice, and you could well make it happen! (July 8-July 22) -- You're in need of a little downtime after pouring your heart and soul into something that matters to many.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Whenever you find yourself at cross-purposes with someone else, you'll want to be the first to consider a harmonious adjustment. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Someone else's warning may be ringing in your ears as you approach a certain danger zone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may be starting with a blank slate, but what better way to begin? It means that you can head in any direction you choose! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- A certain concept may not make sense to you until you find yourself having to work with it directly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You have only a certain prescribed amount of time to get something done, but you're prepared and ready to give it a go. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- The arrival of someone unexpected makes everything go a little more slowly than usual until you make a certain adjustment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You can learn much about someone else simply by listening to what he or she has to say. You actually have a lot in common. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may be thrust into a situation that was not of your making, and which can be resolved only if you apply yourself 100 percent.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You don't want to reveal everything this week; keep some things under wraps until the suspense has built up sufficiently. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- The powers that be are more in favor of what you bring to the table now than they have been in the past.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You will benefit much more than expected by expanding your own generosity and giving to others in any way you can. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- A chance encounter affords you the opportunity to explore an issue usually brushed aside. Much is illuminated.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may be told again and again that a certain thing cannot or must not be done -- but you know better, and you can get it done with style. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You will want to stay in touch with those who are personally involved in your affairs even if you find yourself traveling far from home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You'll be eager to hear what others think of your current efforts, but you mustn't take criticism too much to heart. Learn from it instead! (March 6-March 20) -- You'll enjoy a "blast from the past" that has you thinking that maybe a former project can be resurrected.

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 for January 03, 2016

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.
