Your Stars This Week | April 24th, 2016

The coming week will require most individuals to govern themselves with a firmer hand than usual as they navigate rough, potentially hazardous waters in an attempt to land themselves on a distant shore that provides the calm and solace they are so eager to attain. Some may find themselves overwhelmed by their workloads as projects heat up and due dates converge. Others may encounter difficulty as a result of being asked to do things that are perhaps just one step beyond their level of expertise. Some will find that the trouble encountered is not of their own making at all, but instead the result of circumstances that could not possibly have been anticipated. In all cases, the governing of emotion and steering of intellect will be the keys to success.

Not everyone will have to go it alone, of course. Indeed, in many cases, help will be at hand all week long -- but there's help ... and then there's help! Some may find that it would have been better to work alone, as working with assistance may require a level of attention and instruction that takes up even more time and energy.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may need to arm yourself with all manner of evidence so that others will take you seriously and give you the road. (April 5-April 19) -- You're eager to enjoy a little time to yourself, but it's not likely to be yours until your work is done.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may have to work with someone who doesn't understand how much time it takes to get things right. This can be frustrating! (May 6-May 20) -- You may need to interrupt yourself on several occasions to ensure that everything is progressing properly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- The more you worry over a task or problem, the more energy you will needlessly expend. Stay focused on doing the work! (June 7-June 20) -- You're still waiting for some information that is key to your decision-making. It may be time to force the issue.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may find that it is better for you to get an earlier start than usual each day -- and that may well be early, indeed! (July 8-July 22) -- Someone you've known for quite some time offers you a lifeline of sorts. Grab it, and you'll enjoy a rejuvenating opportunity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You're eager to see what waits for you around the next corner or over the next hill, but first you have to get there! Be patient. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- The kind of salvation you're looking for may not be available just yet. You must keep working away in the same old vein for a while.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You keep thinking you can put the finishing touches on a project, but technical problems keep holding you back. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may wonder if others are as willing as you are to do what is necessary. Proof will come to you in an unusual fashion.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- If you find yourself at cross-purposes with someone, call a halt to all related activities until the problem is sorted out. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may not have the luxury of stepping back from a problem to think it through objectively, so take all necessary precautions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may feel as though you're being expected to do things the hard way. Indeed, the easy road seems to be closed to you! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You can shed light on an issue that no one else seems to appreciate for its importance and timeliness. You may be vindicated.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Others are likely to see things your way only after you spend a good deal of time setting up a vivid demonstration. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- A collaborative effort falls flat, but not because of anything you do. This doesn't mean it won't succeed at a later date.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You mustn't think that you can predict the future with any greater accuracy than usual. You're simply getting lucky! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Much may seem upside-down and backward to you. Take the time to sort out what you know from what you don't.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Getting things done may depend on your ability to persuade others to do the right things at just the right times. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You needn't worry that a trusted ally will tire of giving you the assistance you need. He or she is in it for the long haul.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- It may not take as long to perform assigned tasks as you had expected, but those you choose for yourself are more complicated! (March 6-March 20) -- You're not willing to lower your standards simply because things have gotten difficult. You'll stay the course!

Your Stars This Week | April 17th, 2016

The coming week will see everyone respond, in his or her own way, to the need to double down on a commitment of some kind. It's not likely to be the same kind of commitment for everyone, but everyone will, one way or another, be compelled to do more, to reach further, to take a greater risk or to commit more resources than perhaps ever before -- all in the name of doing what has been promised and of living up to expectations and one's reputation. Indeed, each individual's standards will be tested: Anyone whose standards are usually high will take it as a matter of course that more must be done; those who are used to compromising may not be able to stretch themselves quite so readily.

For some, the requirements may take choice out of the equation altogether, as financial realities simply require them to do more in the name of mere survival. There is something to be said, however, for maintaining a certain standard of living, and most will not want to allow theirs to be diminished at all.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- It will all come down to being yourself. Others may try to force you into an uncomfortable mold, but it's not likely to happen. (April 5-April 19) -- Your care for those under you will be demonstrated in an unusual way. You're not about to let them down!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You can pick up the pace, but you mustn't endanger those around you. You may have to make a certain personal sacrifice. (May 6-May 20) -- You can work with others to ensure that what you have worked so hard to build isn't taken from you. Stand your ground, by all means.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You're likely to uncover some information that has you working toward a brand-new goal, but certain key benefits remain constant. (June 7-June 20) -- You'll need to invest in a certain plan in a way that tells others that you're in it for keeps. Don't hedge your bets.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You can take advantage of some downtime to get something done that would otherwise be hanging over you all week long. (July 8-July 22) -- You're becoming more concerned about a situation that others are ignoring. You can take the lead and show everyone what must be done.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You'll receive a great many messages that require immediate response, but sometimes someone will have to wait. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You can take advantage of an unforeseen opportunity, and with a little assistance, you can rise to the top very quickly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- It's your turn. When all is said and done, you'll be able to point to a certain constant as a major comfort. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Others will be supportive of your hard work, but no one is likely to support an idea that you don't back wholeheartedly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may have trouble rearranging your schedule to accommodate a new assignment, but it's really just a matter of priority, isn't it? (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- First impressions can truly make all the difference. After that, everything may actually be quite routine.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You must be willing to devote a certain amount of time to a problem that is not of your making. Others see you as their savior. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may have overstated your case recently. You'll be in a position to demonstrate the reality of the situation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You can't afford to skip any steps that might put you across the finish line. And don't take any shortcuts with safety! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may find the obstacles that lie in your path to be more daunting than usual, but you can surely pull yourself together and overcome them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- No one is likely to tell you how to do things, though you may be beholden to one who has taught you much in the past. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Others may not see your behavior as selfless, but the fact is that you're doing almost everything for someone else.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may become engaged in a struggle that requires you to take risks that are much bigger than usual. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- That which speaks to your nobler instincts will be worth your time and effort; avoid anything that seems somehow ignoble.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Your reputation can survive a major threat, provided that all you do comes from the heart. Being genuine is everything. (March 6-March 20) -- You've been waiting long enough for word from afar. You may have to act without it and simply hope for the best.

Your Stars This Week for April 10, 2016

Your Stars This Week | April 10th, 2016

The coming week will see rivals and enemies come together under a common banner and work toward a common end. In some cases, it is just as likely to see friends and compatriots sever ties and begin separate journeys toward far-flung shores that satisfy the varying desires of each. Alliances will be made and broken all week long, and all will be affected in ways that are variously subtle and bold. What really matters is that each individual does what he or she can to navigate these rough waters in order to arrive in port safe and sound -- with confidence, vision and ambition intact. There are still rules to follow, surely; they serve current situations quite well and are not to be ignored.

Romantic entanglements are not favored, yet that has never stopped the romantically inclined from falling headfirst into all manner of trysts. This week shall be no different, but more than the usual difficulties may arise -- especially among those who wish to stretch a short-term relationship into something more lasting.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may discover a new and potentially lasting attachment to a whole set of ideas that are only now coming to the fore. (April 5-April 19) -- Though you are facing a situation that does not favor your instinctive approach, you can surely alter your behavior to improve the odds.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may begin the week a bit off balance, but you can regain your accustomed stance and forge ahead with confidence in a day or two. (May 6-May 20) -- It would be foolish to deny something that is quite obvious to everyone around you. Instead, you can evolve with the times.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may find it necessary to do something that brings you no immediate pleasure, in order to secure pleasure later on. (June 7-June 20) -- You may come to the conclusion that you are merely adrift and in need of some direction. Aim for consistency, too.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You're in no mood for any kind of affectation; you want to proceed in a way that is honest, open and down-to-earth. (July 8-July 22) -- You are more ready for what is about to happen than you could possibly imagine, and your demeanor proves it. When the time comes to act, act!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- It may fall to you to do something no one else wants to do, but you know that it is necessary, and you will proceed in a proper fashion. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You're about to begin a journey that can bring you a great deal of satisfaction -- provided you're willing to learn about yourself!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You can unite a great many under a common banner, but where you will end up may be a mystery until you find yourself there. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Others are likely to look to you for the kind of guidance that you, too, are seeking. You can do a lot of good for many of them, however.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Time spent with family and loved ones can ease your inner tensions considerably. Your conduct sends a certain message. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You're not the first -- or the last -- to face impending events with a certain trepidation. Your mettle will be tested.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You're not after prominence, but rather consistency -- whether alone or with others. Your compatriots pledge themselves anew. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may receive advice from an elder that defies your particular brand of logic. You must work toward a compromise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You can surely succeed at anything you attempt, but it is important to put yourself in the right place at the right time. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Others may not appreciate your headstrong approach, but you recognize the need to forge ahead undaunted.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You must be willing to acknowledge what everyone else already has, and act accordingly. It's time to assemble a team. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may not be as impressed with the results of your efforts as others are. Perhaps you are expecting a bit too much?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Things may get off to a rather rocky start, but by trusting your instincts, you can surely acquit yourself well. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Your ability to work your way through the crowds unscathed will surely get you to your destination.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- A humorous, lighthearted approach can work wonders. Others, whether intentionally or not, will follow suit. (March 6-March 20) -- You can work with another quite well, easing him or her out of emotional doldrums. You can combine authority and dignity.
