Your Stars This Week | August 7th, 2016

The coming week will provide many individuals, young and old, with the opportunity to increase their knowledge of a wide range of topics -- dictated only by personal taste and interest, and the innate drive to learn. All manner of portals shall open, some for only a short time, leading to discoveries -- personal, professional or merely avocational -- that can lead the way to dramatic change, even transforming one's entire life. The difficulty may simply be in choosing which way one wishes to go, for that will determine the ultimate outcome -- not desire, not will, not skill, not temperament or personality, but the decision itself will make the biggest difference. The mere choice of which piece of knowledge to pursue shall be the be-all and the end-all.

Some may find that the professional and the personal are inextricably conjoined, and the decisions made about one aspect of daily life will surely inform those made about the other. In some cases, a professional reunion can lead to a personal revelation that effectively changes everything. This is not to be feared!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Do you think you'll be able to put aside certain prejudices? Productivity depends on it, so you must decide what's more important. (April 5-April 19) -- You are likely to be challenged by someone whose view of a shared situation is vastly different from yours.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may be tempted to give up on something you've long invested in, but you will recognize one last chance to get it right. (May 6-May 20) -- Others may not understand how you are able to say one thing and do another, but this method can work well for you under current circumstances.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You are able to raise the bar both personally and professionally. Others will applaud your efforts -- and back you in a new way. (June 7-June 20) -- There's nothing uncertain about events that lie ahead, but you cannot clearly see the outcome of current efforts.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may find yourself involved in something rather mysterious. Before you are in too deep, you must assess all safety issues. (July 8-July 22) -- Someone who has been on the periphery of your life will move swiftly to the center. Is this a permanent change?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- The plan you are entertaining may not be highly original, but you can still set it in motion. The results may indeed be unique! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You're nearing the point at which you must make an important decision. Allow discussion to shape your overall outlook.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You are going to have to share certain thoughts and feelings with someone who has gotten closer to you than expected. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You are eager to see someone succeed. Are you willing to put your own aspirations on the back burner, even temporarily?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may not be able to meet up with another as you had planned. What does happen instead will yield more lasting results. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You are eager to see what someone is up to, but you mustn't cross the line and do anything inappropriate -- or worse, illegal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may realize that what you've been viewing as a mistake is actually a golden opportunity. You can pick up the pieces -- and the pace. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- What you see and hear is likely to open your mind to new possibilities. You'll soon be on your way!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may have to ask someone to take care of certain aspects of your daily routine as you tend to an unexpected issue. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You mustn't let time slip through your fingers; you'll want to take advantage of every moment -- before things change.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You can up the ante. By putting more on the line, you will be telling others that you are truly ready for anything. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You will be proud of what you are able to accomplish in the days to come. Try to keep your emotions in check, however.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may be seeking something that no one even suspects is available at all. Finding it will be a major coup! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Your desire to share with another is growing rapidly. Something significant is fast developing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You are sure to be attracted to the works and style of someone you recognize as being smarter and more capable than you. (March 6-March 20) -- A rather unconventional partnership may form between you and someone who is very much like you. Opportunities abound as a result.

Your Stars This Week | July 31st, 2016

The coming week will see many individuals scrambling to complete projects ahead of schedule, as the promise of greater rewards hangs before them like the proverbial carrot on a stick. Indeed, there is much to be gained by those who are willing to buckle down and complete their work ahead of schedule, but some may be envisioning far greater benefits and prizes than are actually available to them -- no matter how quickly they work or how early they complete assignments. Some may simply fall prey to the false notion that faster is better, and their imagined gains are likely to be just that -- imagined. Others will understand that potential rewards can indeed be increased, but that they may, in some cases, not be worth the increase in labor that would be needed. It's all a matter of balance -- as usual.

Many will find themselves gravitating toward certain others. This can, in itself, bring with it many important benefits, not the least of which is an increase in creative output. There are dangers associated with this kind of commingling, however, and one must be careful not to lose touch with one's unique sense of purpose.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You're likely to be reunited with someone who still provides you with all the inspiration you need. Is there more going on, too? (April 5-April 19) -- You've learned a great deal since you last collaborated with a certain Leo native. You both know how to work together better.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- There are certain mysteries to be solved -- not least of which is one that lies within your conflicted heart. (May 6-May 20) -- You must address the key issues that everyone is grappling with. You may be the only person who can recognize all the pros and cons.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- A change is likely to occur at the workplace, and it has you taking on greater responsibility. You may need an assistant. (June 7-June 20) -- You can trust another to implement your plans perfectly. This will certainly take some of the pressure off.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- A former friend or lover is attempting to rekindle something that has you feeling a little uncertain and even self-conscious. Speak your mind. (July 8-July 22) -- Practical concerns begin to overtake creative impulses; this is as it should be, as a project is nearing fruition.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Your ability to see through deception can certainly help you and others, but you mustn't be suspicious of everything! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Things are likely to heat up for you on the homefront, as key issues arise that demand immediate attention.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may find yourself led into uncertain territory by someone who is eager to experience something new. Use caution. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You can share a great deal of knowledge with someone who can, in turn, show you how to put it to better use.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Someone may be trying to get you to change your ways, but what is there to change? You're happy with the way you are! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You can provide someone with a great deal of inspiration, but don't forget that you're in need of some, too!

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov. 7) -- Do you know who is really in charge? You'll want to get in touch so that you can share ideas that can speed things up considerably. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You should be able to accomplish more than you had originally scheduled. Keep your head down and avoid distractions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You needn't get caught up in the prevailing rush to get more and more done. Maintain your pace, and don't overdo it. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You have every reason to think that your plans are the best plans. Once you put them in motion, the payoff will begin.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may require more information in order to turn in a top-notch performance. The simplest things matter most. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Others are looking to you for guidance, and the best way you can provide it is to perform to your own high standards.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may sense a shift in direction. Don't be afraid to follow someone, provided you can see clearly where he or she is going. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You are in the mood to lead, not to follow -- and you'll surely have plenty of opportunities to do so.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may find yourself settling into a sustainable and productive routine -- at last! No more struggling to establish a rhythm. (March 6-March 20) -- A system you think is working well for you right now may not actually be the best approach. Consider an option presented by another.

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.
