Your Stars This Week | May 22nd, 2016

The coming week will test a great many individuals in ways that are both expected and unexpected. The result is likely to be that most will end up with a greater sense of themselves and what they are truly capable of -- though others may come up short and have to weather disappointment. In order to be in the first group, one must approach the coming challenges with a positive attitude and the awareness that nothing will be resolved immediately, and no goal may be reached on the first attempt. This means, of course, that one will have to go back and give it another try, perhaps again and again throughout the week -- and that's where fatigue begins to play a role. Succumbing to fatigue can mean the difference between success and failure.

Mistakes are sure to be made, but there are mistakes and there are mistakes! Those that are made honestly, in the process of learning and experimentation, can actually prove helpful in the long run. Those that are made because one's eyes are closed or because one assumes that success is assured can be quite costly and must be avoided.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Treat yourself well, and don't be tempted to take one step further than you must. Conserving energy is essential. (April 5-April 19) -- You're likely to be distracted as the week opens, but after a few days you should be able to focus squarely on what must be accomplished.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may think that you've been true to your word, but you must do at least one more thing for a friend or loved one. (May 6-May 20) -- Though there may be no genuine emergencies, you are likely to feel as though certain things must be done "right now" on several occasions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may begin the week feeling uncertain and hesitant, but events transpire that give you a new dose of confidence and enthusiasm. (June 7-June 20) -- A quicker pace is required, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't pay attention to each new development as it arises.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may have trouble grappling with familiar issues that have assumed a new and increased importance. Instincts take you only so far. (July 8-July 22) -- You may be striving to uncover something that has been obscure for too long. The big picture gives you many important clues.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Just when you thought you could call a major project complete, someone throws a wrench in the works and requires you to rethink certain aspects. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You know how to collaborate quite effectively, but you're likely to want to go it alone for some reason.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may have to rely on an underling to fix a problem that has arisen because you were unable to see the forest for the trees! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- The exploratory or experimental phase of a project is coming to an end. You must make certain concrete moves.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- What you wear, how you present yourself and the way you speak to others will all have a major impact on your success. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may feel as though you have been making progress very quickly, but you know that you still have a long way to go.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Your keen awareness of certain harsh realities will keep you from making plans or decisions that cannot pan out. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may require a dose of realism before you are able to progress as planned. Someone knows how to open your eyes to what lies ahead.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You're looking forward to the way something will end, but there is much to tend to before the curtain falls. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Your ability to see things both realistically and idealistically will serve you well. You can make someone's dream come true.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Trust the substance of your message to carry you forward; you needn't add a great deal of embellishment. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may be trying to advance yourself in a way that only seems to work against you. This complex phase passes soon.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You will be looking out for someone who has only recently kindled your affection. Things are changing from the inside out. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- In order to be heard, you must not only find the right time to express yourself, but choose just the right words as well.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You'll be making daily adjustments to an important project all week long. Someone you look up to provides encouragement. (March 6-March 20) -- No one is likely to stand in your way, but you may find yourself unable to move forward as you had planned.

The coming week will offer up many choices, some of which may in fact be quite surprising, while others are expected and routine. The fact is that all decisions will be of greater importance than perhaps at any other time, so none of them should be considered only lightly. Time must be taken to assess the pros and cons of even the most trivial matter, as the course taken may lead one on a journey that offers not only self-discovery but maybe even some risk to the pocketbook or danger to the body and mind. Every choice will be, as the saying goes, a double-edged sword in some respect; the trick, of course, will be in determining which options offer more in the way of gain than detriment. Nearly everything is likely to end in compromise -- but anyone who chooses well can have quite a time of it, indeed.

Few will be able to look ahead and select the best possible course of action without involving at least one or two family members or friends in the decision-making process. All must listen to those they trust; an alternate perspective, while always of some value, can prove utterly essential in these uncertain times!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- A promise is kept, though another may be broken. What's most important is that you keep things positive between you and a friend. (April 5-April 19) -- Decisions you make may affect you for quite some time. Don't start looking back prematurely, however!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You're going to have to work harder than usual to find time for that extra bit of work that can really make the difference. (May 6-May 20) -- You may want to dispense with the preliminaries and get right to the heart of an issue that you know is paramount.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Your ability to sort through all manner of distractions will serve you well. You must stay on task, no matter what else is going on. (June 7-June 20) -- You're eager for some consistency, but a co-worker isn't likely to give you that. You must continue to be flexible.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may have more to say than you had originally thought, but you may be limited by certain rules that you cannot change. (July 8-July 22) -- You'll find yourself surrounded by those who are eager to hear what you have to say, but their reasons may not always be pure.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Use caution when setting out on a journey alone. Certain dangers cannot be avoided altogether, so you must be ready for them. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may be too concerned with what others will think of the decisions you are making. Why worry, so long as they are good for you?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may realize that it's time to shake things up a little at the workplace. Once made, the decision to do so will pay off handsomely. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You'll have to keep one eye on the clock all week long. You know what's possible in the amount of time available.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You are likely to disappoint a loved one, but doing so may be unavoidable. You can surely make it up to him or her. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You are going the long way around, but once you realize your mistake, it's likely to be too late to change course.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You can stock up on all the renewable resources you need and still come out ahead where finances are concerned. Bargains abound! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You must know exactly what you are looking for if you don't want to come up empty-handed when all is said and done.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You're not able to assume the position of authority that you had hoped you would. Disappointment need not lead to failure. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may find yourself traveling far from home, and though the decision to do so may have been hard, the reason is more than valid.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may be haunted by the feeling that someone on your team is looking at you in an unfavorable light. Why so insecure? (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Another's inadequacy mustn't be allowed to hold you back. It may be time for you to go it alone, at least for a while.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may race through the week with the wind in your hair, but be aware that this can increase personal risk considerably. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Do you know what you're expected to do? There is little room for guesswork; if you aren't certain, you must ask!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may be in need of some clarification as the week opens, but once you get it, you should be able to accomplish everything -- and then some. (March 6-March 20) -- You may have to interrupt your workweek to deal with a certain problem at home. Admit it -- you saw this coming!

Your Stars This Week for May 08, 2016

Your Stars This Week | May 8th, 2016

The coming week will see an extension of individual liberties, at least on a private level, that are welcomed by those who have struggled against restrictions and limitations in the recent past and who have had to pass up certain opportunities as a result. Things are changing for the better, and while those particular opportunities may never resurface, others will rise to take their place, and they can offer more in their way than the ones that were missed. Some learning may be required, but there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Much will happen on a technological front, requiring those who haven't kept up with the modern world to dabble with the kinds of gadgets they have avoided before -- but to great advantage, in every case!

A rekindling of love or friendship will be enjoyed by many. At the outset, it may seem as though something that long ago was sacrificed may now be possible. Will it be better than anyone ever imagined? Not likely, but enjoyment and personal growth can surely result.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- The time has come for you to demand answers from someone who has been withholding information for quite some time. (April 5-April 19) -- A certain situation is likely to become much more serious -- and put you in a position that requires some careful negotiation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You must tend to the dissemination of information. If others are to keep up with you, you'll have to do the work. (May 6-May 20) -- You can have more of what you want than you had imagined, but it's likely to come to you in a way that defies logical explanation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Giving someone a bit of his own medicine may sound like something you'd enjoy, but it will prove useless in the end. (June 7-June 20) -- You may find yourself groping about, trying to find something that has recently gone missing -- but perhaps it's not missing at all!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You won't mind losing as long as you are able to put up a good fight and take the competition right down to the wire. (July 8-July 22) -- You may not begin the week feeling quite up to snuff, but as the days progress, you can recapture some of your usual spunk.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Your ability to see things for what they really are will serve you and others well. You won't be fooled by appearances! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You'll find yourself admiring someone who inspired no such feelings in the past. You know very well why your opinion has changed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You are in a position of some authority, but you may not want to wield that authority just yet. Pace yourself; take your time. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Many of those around you are unaware of your true intentions. You can use this to your advantage.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Some might say that you are in no position to claim any more than you already have, but you feel you are due something extra. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- The quality of your work is competitive, but you may not be as enthusiastic about the game as others are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You can show a great deal more gumption than usual, and you may find that you're allowed to push the boundaries more, too. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Someone who has been in the background for some time will come to you with an offer you may find difficult to pass up -- but it will necessitate changes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You must guard against excessive vulnerability. Dangers can come from anywhere, and you must be prepared. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- What you've been expecting for so long is likely to come to pass, but you're in for a few key surprises as well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You're going to want to set goals for yourself that can be reached with little extra effort. Don't overextend yourself! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You're going to want to push through and get things done ahead of schedule. This will take luck as well as skill.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You must be sure to get things right whenever possible. There is enough to guess at, so enjoy being certain when you can. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You're nearing a point of no return where a certain relationship is concerned. Can you trust that little voice in your head?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You'll find yourself in a position that affords you a better view of what lies ahead. You can make better decisions as a result. (March 6-March 20) -- You're eager to do something with an old friend, but this may be prevented by a few practical realities.
