Your Stars This Week | September 4th, 2016

The coming week will require many individuals to make do in the absence of conditions that are more favorable to progress, or with a shortage of tools and resources that are indispensable to getting the job done -- whatever that job may be. Much that transpires will be of a mundane nature, and most will be quite used to the responsibilities and tasks that require attention; the difference, of course, is that many will have to use a much more creative approach than usual in order to get even the most routine things done. A strategy that has done the job in the past isn't likely to work this week -- if that approach can even be taken in the first place! The most successful individuals will be those who can work at any hour of any day, using whatever tools they can find, wherever they may be.

There are some who will find that conditions that are unfavorable to good work for others are just right for them -- such people are surely to be considered the lucky ones! If you are one of these, you will provide your own light in the darkness and be able to shine brightly when others are groping around blindly -- a distinct advantage, indeed!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Repetition affords you the opportunity to get very comfortable with a certain task that did not come easily at first. (April 5-April 19) -- Those in your care will be concerned about your apparent lack of focus early in the week, but much can be done!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You can get routine tasks completed in record time as the week opens, leaving you available for something new that comes your way later on. (May 6-May 20) -- You can save a great deal of money if you simply make one small adjustment to your perspective -- and your expectations.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- There's got to be a way to get where you want to go without emptying your bank account completely. Consider taking an alternate route. (June 7-June 20) -- A blast from the past has you wishing that things could be that way again -- but as the week closes, you'll be looking forward once more.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Someone is driving you in a direction you may not want to go; make it clear what you are trying to do, and why. (July 8-July 22) -- The week's events can have a lasting effect, and they will be better for you than much that has happened in the recent past.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- A loved one is willing to give something new a try, provided you will be leading the way. He or she trusts you implicitly. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Someone close to you is suggesting a course of action you may balk at initially, but careful consideration reveals certain key benefits.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You mustn't let another's moods control you; though he or she may be quite variable, you can be constant and stay the course. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may remember a time when things seemed much easier, but you can still enjoy a boost in the present that really sends you on your way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You're experiencing a new level of commitment -- either at work or at home -- from which everyone you encounter is likely to benefit. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- The story you tell someone must be founded in the truth, or it will fall apart and reveal you to be nothing more than another charlatan.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may feel as though you have done these things and seen these places before. You're not repeating yourself, however. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You'll certainly find a good reason to dig deeper for the answers you need. However, this information comes at a premium.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You're not likely to respond as hoped to someone who is trying to engage you in a new way. You may want to go it alone. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You needn't try to explain yourself; let your actions speak for you. And by all means, get out of your own way!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You'll find comfort in something that is familiar to you. You can't linger forever, but you'll enjoy it for quite a while. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- The trick is not about determining what you should say, but in deciding what you can keep to yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You have been away from a loved one for long enough, and you'll see a good opportunity to close the gap at last. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Once you give a rival the chance to catch up, you'll have your hands full. Do what you can to maintain the lead!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may find that last week's omission requires attention this week; what you left undone then must surely be completed now. (March 6-March 20) -- You can follow the adventures of a close friend with great interest. He or she will appreciate your keeping in touch.

Your Stars This Week | August 28th, 2016

The coming week will proceed very much according to plan for most people, and that should come as little surprise to those who have made firm schedules, established clear priorities and goals, and put in the requisite time preparing for what comes. There are some, however, for whom the week will be chock-full of surprises -- both private and public. This is when one must accept the fact that honesty is the best policy -- those who are willing to come clean can prevent much of the damage, or undo any that has been done, as a result of past lies or half-truths that may have been told when one's back was against the wall. Those who tell the truth, regardless of what they fear may result, can very likely avoid such results!

When it comes to personal relationships, the brave are sure to be rewarded -- again, by coming clean, or by admitting affections that may have lain dormant and unacknowledged for some time. Confessing one's love can send both parties into the stratosphere, and the resulting relationship can last a long time, indeed.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may reconnect with someone who, in effect, reconnects you with yourself. This is a gift that really does keep on giving! (April 5-April 19) -- Gather your forces and be ready to do battle by week's end. The opponent you face is formidable, but you have a secret weapon.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- As you look over your assignments, you may notice that they all require you to rely on a certain key strength. (May 6-May 20) -- Your week may not have the most auspicious of starts, but once you find your legs, you can progress at a record pace.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You are more able to control your emotions than you have been in the recent past, and all who know you will surely be grateful. (June 7-June 20) -- Someone who has your back may be concerned that you're not taking the precautions you should. Make some adjustments!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You'll have to interrupt yourself several times in order to deal with a recurring distraction. You may need some help! (July 8-July 22) -- The quality of your work will not be in question, but some may doubt that you are really invested on a personal level.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- The view from where you find yourself can be much brighter than any you have enjoyed in recent weeks. Why not stay awhile? (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Your surroundings have a much more significant effect on your every endeavor than you had anticipated. You may have to make a change.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You'll spend some time tracking down those who can give you up-to-date information. Be prepared for a lengthy process. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You can have what you want, but you're going to have to be patient. All good things to those who wait!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You will get closer than ever to someone who has been orbiting around you for some time. There's more to it than you might think! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Your curiosity may get the better of you, prompting you to pursue answers to questions not yet asked.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may have to put up something of a fight in order to have things work out to your liking. An adversary puts you through it! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Your curiosity about someone's former life may send you on a journey in which you discover much about yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may become ensnared by someone who uses his or her intelligence to lay effective traps. Is this a bad thing? (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You'll have reason to count your blessings as the week draws to a close. Much will happen to bring you face to face with yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Your progress may be thwarted for a time when you come up against a self-made obstacle. You can overcome it quickly. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- That which began as merely a temporary distraction could become an important endeavor to you as the week progresses.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- As you chart your course for the week, don't assume that past dangers are completely behind you. One or two threaten to reappear. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You'll have many decisions to make, but none will be as important as your choice of companion on a surprise journey.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- An unexpected threat may have you making dramatic adjustments to the way you do the most ordinary things. It's an interesting week! (March 6-March 20) -- You may feel that your worries are behind you, and indeed they are -- for now. At least one key danger has passed, never to return.

Your Stars This Week for August 21, 2016

Your Stars This Week | August 21st, 2016

The coming week will see many individuals choosing to opt out of something that was, only recently, of extreme importance. The reasons, though myriad and diverse, are all likely to point to one thing: a lack of resolve. This, in itself, is not necessarily a bad thing; indeed, such a lack can be the by-product of sense and caution, or the sudden awareness that one is unsuited or unprepared for a given course of action. On the other hand, there are cases where a lack of resolve can result from disinterest, disengagement or -- worst of all -- fear. If fear is indeed the controlling emotion, one must take the time to plumb its depths to come to some understanding of its root causes. Fear left unexamined can surely wreak havoc in one's life -- both professionally and personally.

Love, in all its forms, comes to the fore. Those who find themselves in some kind of illicit arrangement must take the time to examine its effect on other aspects of daily life. If the toll is too great, changes must be made -- and there is time to make them before it is too late!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You're following in another's footsteps even though you may not know it. You can learn much, and soon head off on your own. (April 5-April 19) -- Close your eyes and imagine yourself doing what you've always wanted to do; soon, you may be able to turn that image into reality.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You will have to coordinate carefully with a partner in order to get everything done on time and under budget. (May 6-May 20) -- You'll have little explaining to do if you've been transparent about your actions and motives. Avoid becoming defensive, by all means.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Your closely guarded secret could well be revealed if you do not carefully plan your week, step by step. (June 7-June 20) -- You're likely to hear through the grapevine of developments that will affect you indirectly but profoundly. Prepare your reaction.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You're waiting for someone to get in touch with you. Perhaps you can speed things up by reaching out yourself. (July 8-July 22) -- You may want to walk away from a certain situation, but circumstances favor your continued involvement -- directly or indirectly.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may have to take the long way home, but once you get there, you can begin doing things to improve your situation dramatically. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may raise some eyebrows with your behavior. Soon you'll find it necessary to explain what is going on -- to family, at least.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You'll want to accompany someone on a journey, but don't go empty-handed! You can provide assistance only if you're well equipped. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Once you see where you are going, you can get there in record time. Obstacles should be few and far between.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You are surrounded by reminders of a situation that seemed far more pleasant than any you are currently dealing with. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You can grow a great deal, but only if accompanied by someone who knows you better than you know yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You'll want to review certain plans to be sure that they are in sync with someone else's before setting them in motion. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You're not afraid of repeating yourself, and you may have the chance to enjoy a past triumph all over again.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- In this time of need, surround yourself with those who can support you and contribute to lower stress levels across the board. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You're eager to see yourself reunited with someone who gets you fired up about a great many things. Travel is in the picture.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You'll want to assess your progress every step of the way, but you needn't stop in your tracks to do it. Maintain forward motion. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You have every reason to reach out to someone who hasn't been in the picture for some time. Explanations should come easily.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You've been taking a narrow view of things, and you can surely afford to broaden your perspective a great deal. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may find yourself fearing something you could easily confront just a week ago. What has changed?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may have to ask yourself a few difficult questions. The answers aren't likely to please you at first. (March 6-March 20) -- Your reaction to a certain chain of events will be misunderstood by some, but all will make sense as the week comes to a close.
