Your Stars This Week | July 17th, 2016

The coming week will see a rise in the level of nervous energy being expended by a great many people on a daily basis. An increase in potential stress in certain areas that are not routine will affect nearly everyone on a basic level, tapping into doubts and fears in a way that most endeavors never do. For some, it may be travel; for others, accepting a new job or assignment; for still others, relationship issues may be stirred up as they haven't been before. In all of these situations, individuals must apply a certain amount of courage to each event, and in doing so, most will find that they have it within them to overcome anything that might threaten to curb positive growth or forward motion.

The realization that there is only so much a person can do to ensure a certain outcome can be the saving grace for many. Indeed, a combination of willful action and the ability to go along for the ride can prove most effective. Anyone who recognizes what can and cannot be controlled will have a leg up.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Pay attention to the signals being sent in unconventional ways. The sender is trying to reach you on a new wavelength. (April 5-April 19) -- You may have to share a certain experience with someone even though you are in the mood to go it alone.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You needn't do what someone else does simply because others tell you it's the way to go. Trust yourself to know what's best for you. (May 6-May 20) -- Something you thought was a certainty proves to be more of a crapshoot than anyone expected. Are you feeling lucky?

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may feel as though your enthusiasm is not what it should be, but this is the result of peripheral circumstances that will soon change. (June 7-June 20) -- You may find yourself gravitating toward those who choose to do things in a different way. You're in the mood to go exploring.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You mustn't let a few bumps in the road keep you from reaching your destination. Focus on what you really stand to gain. (July 8-July 22) -- You may be shaken by the decisions you have to make, but you can certainly forge ahead with the help of another.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Progress may have to be measured in smaller increments than usual, but it is still progress. You'll soon be nearing your destination. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You mustn't let certain circumstances affect you more than usual. Watch what another does, and follow suit.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Your view of the future needn't be affected by your impressions of the past. It's the here and now that matters most. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You know that someone is waiting for you, but there's only so much you can do to dictate the pace.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may be communicating with someone on a whole new plane, and he or she will respond in a way that excites you. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Certain obstacles are unavoidable, but you know how to get past them with a minimum of fuss. Delays should be brief.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- While you are trying to focus on your primary endeavors, someone close to you is readying you for something else. Be cooperative! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You should be able to proceed as if nothing is wrong, even when you are preoccupied with one or two unusual minor issues.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Your ability to get above the fray will help you immensely. What troubles others needn't trouble you at all. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You know what's coming and how you must prepare for it. Others may disagree and offer advice, but your way is best -- this time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You'll want to keep track of where you are and the progress you are making in order to keep from second-guessing yourself. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You're eager to get where you are going, yet you want to enjoy the ride. The trick is to recognize a hidden opportunity along the way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You can surely remain on schedule, despite the fact that much of what you will be doing would not normally be on the docket. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- The fog should lift, leaving you with a clear view of your surroundings and a better idea of where you're going.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You'll want to shop around before deciding on something that cannot be traded in. Be certain! (March 6-March 20) -- You may not be able to make any lasting decisions without consulting someone you trust to clarify certain matters.

Your Stars This Week for July 10, 2016

Your Stars This Week | July 10th, 2016

The coming week will see the stars align in such a way as to promote the confluence of ideas and plans, theories and practicalities, ability and opportunity, and to give priority to expertise and know-how. This, in turn, will make it possible for many things to begin to come to fruition after having been in the works for a long while. Those who are at the helm of important projects will find that the harder they work, the more they will enjoy opportunities that arise -- and the more accolades they are likely to receive. It's not the case that material rewards should be expected -- but such things are ultimately less important than what a good job can do for one's reputation.

Indeed, reputation itself may prove to be a most important personal asset under these stars. While there is much that one can do to build up a reputation, there are a few threats to it as well, which are best avoided if at all possible. A tarnished name can prove quite expensive.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may feel as though someone is turning a very serious endeavor into too much of a game. You needn't play along, of course! (April 5-April 19) -- You may have to call in an expert to solve a problem that has been growing for some time. Have you waited too long to address it?

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Mind, body and soul are sure to get the nourishment they require, and you needn't do anything unusual to make this happen. (May 6-May 20) -- You're eager to see what someone in your care comes up with in answer to a recent challenge. The week offers many rare opportunities, perhaps.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may discover that someone else wants something from you that you are unable to give. Your reasons are personal. (June 7-June 20) -- It's a good week to go exploring, but you should do your best to avoid dangerous territory. Don't stray from your chosen path!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You can prove your native ingenuity by doing something old-fashioned in a completely new way. You're inspired! (July 8-July 22) -- You must be ready to hit the ground running. You may not enjoy any sort of prep time before you head off in the desired direction.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You're going to have to use every bit of knowledge you've amassed over the years in order to pull off the impossible. (Aug. 8-Aug 22) -- Others may think you're in over your head, but in the final analysis, you'll be able to demonstrate more than proficiency.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You're showing signs of change, and this is likely the result of natural growth rather than any conscious effort. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You're thinking too much about what might have been, and not enough about what can be. Focus on what is right in front of you!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- There's no reason to think that you cannot do exactly what you've said you'll do. All it will take is a little extra willpower. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may be showered with praise at some point, but you'll still feel as though you haven't achieved what you set out to achieve.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Others may be eager to join you in your efforts, but you're not in the mood to work with others -- or to share your success. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Perhaps you simply cannot lend a helping hand to someone. If this is true, you must try to stay out of the way entirely!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may be sending the wrong message to others with behavior that isn't quite as exemplary as you might think. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may want to change your plans to be in accordance with some new rules of which you have only recently become aware.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may be giving others precisely what they want, but are you giving enough thought to your own needs? (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You needn't be a whirlwind of activity in order to give another individual the support he or she is looking for.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may find the week's work unusually stressful, but this doesn't have to diminish your enjoyment in any significant way. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You'll find yourself traveling here and there, lending your experience and labor to a good cause that you've only recently embraced.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You'll want to know what is going on all around you, as you are confident that only in this way can you fit in properly. (March 6-March 20) -- You are making certain assumptions that may be not only inaccurate, but also dangerous. Focus on what you can prove.

Your Stars This Week for July 03, 2016

Your Stars This Week | July 3rd, 2016

The coming week will be neatly divisible into two distinct parts, each demanding its own primary focus: preparation in the first, and execution in the second. It may seem to some that there is nothing new in this; and indeed, for them there may not be. For others, however, special care must be taken to ensure that preparation and execution are perfectly integrated, and that distractions are not allowed to corrupt attempts to do the best possible job at both. Most often, these two activities seem to occur almost automatically, as a matter of course; but this week, such is not the case. Each phase will demand the kind of attention that something newly significant usually commands. One may have to consciously think about that which usually just happens.

There may be a perceived danger that too much preparation can dampen the effects of execution when its time comes -- but in truth, this is not the case! The more ready one is, the more successful the outcome of any endeavor -- it's as simple as that!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- That which seems simplest may actually affect you more strongly than anything else -- for good or ill. (April 5-April 19) -- You'll discern a pattern that has you rethinking your overall approach. Perhaps things will be easier than you had supposed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You're waiting for word of another's activities before you swing into action yourself. What you hear will determine how fast you must move. (May 6-May 20) -- You can solve a problem simply by giving it enough time. You needn't try any groundbreaking new strategy -- yet.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Give someone a chance. The more generous you are with your time and energy, the more you will be rewarded in the end. (June 7-June 20) -- You may feel like throwing caution to the wind as the week opens, but look before you leap! Certain dangers are simply too much for you right now.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Part of your assignment will be to wait until the time is just right to set someone else's plans in motion. Be patient. (July 8-July 22) -- Your ability to channel someone's intentions will serve you well as you perform his or her duties when your turn comes.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You can count on an old friend to give you just the opportunity you've been looking for. You'll surely have a chance to shine. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You're going to have to hit the ground running, as there will be precious little time to get the lay of the land.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- The news you've been waiting for arrives at last, and you'll be ready to swing into action at a moment's notice. Keep tools at the ready. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may not want what someone else is offering, but you know better than to turn it down, as it could lead to something else.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You'll have the opportunity to do something your way, without having to explain yourself at every turn. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Someone who has held the reins for some time may give you more control over your affairs. This can really make a difference.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Your ability to think of many things simultaneously may not serve you as well as usual; you must separate your primary concerns. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You can bring your very best to a project. Someone in charge may realize that you should be a permanent team member.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Don't let someone else's impatience make you take action before you are good and ready. Work at your own pace. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- It's important that all aspects of a current job be perfectly integrated. You must apply your unique approach every step of the way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You'll be able to begin crossing things off your list almost immediately. Progress should be swift on all fronts. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You're trying to accomplish too much, perhaps, but such an ambitious approach can actually pay off in an unusual way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Because of a simple misinterpretation, you may find yourself embroiled in a conflict that only you can resolve in the end. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Just when you thought you'd be moving forward at a faster pace, someone may pull the plug. You must not resist what you cannot control.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may be resigned to certain realities, but you can still do much to change that which isn't permanent. (March 6-March 20) -- Someone is forcing you into a corner, but you're not ready to relinquish control without a fight.
