Your Stars This Week | July 24th, 2016

The coming week will see many individuals putting things together in new and creative ways, exploring hitherto untried methods of reaching personal goals, and collaborating in new ways with team members both familiar and unfamiliar. Creativity is indeed the watchword, and it will require a kind of fearlessness that, combined with physical and emotional freedom, can propel anyone to a new level of accomplishment. Even those who are working on routine or familiar projects will find that new methods can add a welcome kind of spice to every endeavor. Putting one's best foot forward should not be difficult, as opportunities abound. Many will find themselves engaging in tasks that fit squarely into their sweet spots.

What is essential, of course, is that one's goals are firmly established and fully understood. There must be no guesswork when it comes to intent or the desired ends. All activities must be fully organized, down to the finest detail. It may seem paradoxical, but this kind of organization will actually promote creative freedom!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You don't want to charge into a new endeavor without reviewing what you have most recently accomplished, then assessing the odds. (April 5-April 19) -- You cannot continue blindly along the same path without hurting your chances for success. Open your eyes to new possibilities!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may need someone's help as you try to put together something that can have great value to others as well as yourself. (May 6-May 20) -- You can surely find yourself in a strong negotiating position, especially if you're willing to reveal something surprising.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- The force of your personality can get you far, but it's know-how and expertise that take you the rest of the way. (June 7-June 20) -- You may find yourself going down a rather strange road, but if a friend is with you, the experience is sure to be positive.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Though you may not be collaborating with a familiar teammate, you can certainly wish him or her well. You are forever linked! (July 8-July 22) -- It's possible that you aren't quite ready for something you have long been planning. You know how to fill in the blanks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You'll find that you are more comfortable with someone than you had expected. The result will be a major step forward. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- What you hear from a third party enables you and a partner to forge ahead with a new level of confidence.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You and two friends can be more than mere collaborators; you can be the "Three Musketeers," fighting a personal injustice. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You'll fit into a new situation with ease. Others will take to you quickly and will adjust to your method of working.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You can have others enjoying their own work in new ways as you go about your business with increased confidence -- and a sense of humor. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Your ability to take what comes without rocking the boat will prove invaluable. You can keep everyone on an even keel.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may be receiving mixed signals from someone who is delighted that you are back in his or her life. You must determine what is at stake. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- A simple change of scenery can work wonders for you. A new sense of purpose has you working at a faster pace, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may be doing something you've done before, but you'll be seeing the overall task in a whole new light. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may be transitioning from a period of individual accomplishment to one of collaborative success. Someone will have to be in charge, however!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Your attempts at transforming another may actually serve to transform you, as well. This change is long overdue! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may be feeling rather isolated as the week opens, but later on you'll figure out how to reconnect with those most important to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Take care that you do not make rules for yourself that you simply cannot keep. You must have options in order to thrive. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You're putting yourself and others in a kind of danger that, while not all that serious, may have far-reaching implications. Use caution.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Your ability to shake things up and make necessary changes with little warning can certainly work wonders. (March 6-March 20) -- You don't like to see others going without, so why not do what you can to improve their chances? You'll surely play a significant role.

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.
