Your Stars This Week | December 18th, 2016

The coming week will require a willingness on the part of each individual to dig deeper into the past than perhaps ever before. There is a danger, of course, that one might get tangled in a web of memories both good and bad, but it is worth the risk. The benefits of such a journey into self-discovery will far outweigh any danger of unbridled reverie, which, in most cases at least, will be short-lived. It is likely that many will discover that what they most desire is already in hand; that happiness is not an elusive quarry, but in fact something that can blossom from within; and that the future can be built upon the past in such a way that true integration of "before" and "after" is possible. This is what most will be seeking, and many will surely find it.

There will be many complicated issues to sort through as personal desires and discoveries are acknowledged and made. In some cases, differences of opinion may grow exponentially into conflicts that cannot be ignored -- but even then, a satisfying resolution is never too far out of reach. All must be willing to accept the inevitable this week.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You will have the chance to show someone in charge just what you can do and how much you can bring to the table. A decision must be made. (April 5-April 19) -- A loved one makes a suggestion that you at first find objectionable. After a little more thought, you may be willing to consider it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Your week falls into place only after someone close to you finally makes a decision that affects you personally and professionally. (May 6-May 20) -- You're depending on others for essential information, but you can't rush things. Be patient and let things develop as they will.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You can expect more duties to fall in your lap as a friend or loved one makes his or her desires known. You can get it all done! (June 7-June 20) -- You may be on the verge of a major discovery that will open the door to a new level of accomplishment. Don't let fear hold you back.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You're ready to do what someone has wanted you to do for quite some time, but that can't be the only reason for you to do it! (July 8-July 22) -- You're able to progress at a healthy pace even though you are missing something of great importance to you. Stay focused and on task.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Despite distractions, you should be able to make headway -- especially if you rely on certain skills you've recently been honing. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You have much to say, but you mustn't say it unless you know that you'll be heard. Wait for a proper invitation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You're in the mood for an adventure. If you share your desires with a certain someone, you can surely make it a memorable week! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Anyone who follows in your footsteps must be ready to face his or her demons, for it's a path of self-discovery you've forged.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may be closer than ever to a personal goal, but the distance ahead may still seem vast. Don't give up! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Now is the time for you to make your presence known -- especially in the workplace, where you have been undervalued for too long.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You've been making assumptions that are just standing in your way. You can free yourself from any such prejudicial thinking. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You're eager to see where the road ahead of you will lead, but there are some who will warn you against the journey. Assess the dangers for yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may think you're on a wild goose chase, but in fact you're on the trail of something very important to you. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Someone close to you may point out the obvious more than once, and it's up to you to notice the essentials.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You're able to get much further than planned, but much depends on your ability to overlook an unintended slight. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Can you put things right after someone makes a real mess out of several personal issues? You must work for the greater good.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You're likely to do something that many have tried and only few have succeeded at, but you'll do it better than anyone else. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- It's a good week to claim what is yours, but take care not to overstep your bounds or encroach on others' territory!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You're marking time in a new way, but not everything will progress smoothly. You'll have some adjustments to make. (March 6-March 20) -- Give yourself something special, and you'll realize that you haven't been treating yourself well enough recently.

Your Stars This Week | December 11th, 2016

The coming week will involve a lot of work to square away bits of business that have yet to be completely resolved. Much of what goes on will take place behind closed doors, in hushed tones and in conversation that is not to be made public in any way. There may be some who think that this week's events and developments are therefore somehow illicit or ill-advised, but this is far from the truth. The fact is that what happens will require a kind of careful negotiation and last-minute deal-making for which not everyone has the stomach or the aptitude -- and those who do will surely find their place as they cross the last t's and dot the last i's.

There is a certain formula that will work wonders in these matters, but not everyone will be able to latch onto it and reap it for all the benefits it provides. Those who are able to follow this specific prescribed path will find that doing things in this way can pay off for quite a while. This week, for them, is only the beginning!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may uncover the answer to a question that many have been asking of late, but where you find it defies comprehension. Accept it! (April 5-April 19) -- You have the sense that something is not going according to plan as the week opens. Later on, you'll be able to do much to keep things on track.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may have to process a great many personal requests before you can tend to private business. By all means, pace yourself. (May 6-May 20) -- Pay close attention to what your body is telling you. Day by day, your sensations and symptoms may change in subtle ways.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may have to engage in a more pedestrian endeavor than you had planned on, but it can inspire you to achieve more later on. (June 7-June 20) -- Take care that you don't let a minor disagreement evolve into something you cannot control. Your temper is your worst enemy!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may not be as clear-headed as usual, and you'll require the intervention of a friend to see you through. (July 8-July 22) -- You will benefit from an important discovery, whether yours or someone else's. It's time to acknowledge the importance of teamwork.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- The simplest explanation is likely to be the most satisfying as well. There's no reason to overcomplicate things. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Stand and deliver -- or simply retire and let others get the work done. You know which choice you must make, so make it and get on with your life!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Your penchant for apologizing is likely to mask both insecurity and anger. There are a few questions you must answer! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You'll want to deal with what comes in the most direct and no-nonsense manner you can. Now is not the time to add unnecessary flourishes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You are actually very close to your destination, though you may not feel as though you have come very far at all. Be patient. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You can combine your intentions with the intentions of another and come up with a plan that impresses on a wide scale, indeed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Your pace will fluctuate throughout the week, and you're not likely to be as much in control as you had hoped. You've got to give in just a bit. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You're not likely to agree with the decisions handed down by the powers that be, but there is little you can do about it right now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may have the chance to spend more time with a loved one, doing what you most want to do, but don't lose sight of a professional goal. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You mustn't be too quick to pass judgment on another. Remember that you actually have a great deal in common.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Money matters are likely to take up much of your time during the first part of the week. An adviser offers an unconventional option. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may discover that what you thought you most wanted is actually no longer on the list at all -- it has been replaced by a surprise desire.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may have to be stricter with yourself than you are with others. Lead by example, and you'll get the desired results. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You are in the midst of a rather adventurous period, but take care that you don't endanger anyone who prefers not to follow in your footsteps.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You are tempted to head off in a new direction, but circumstances may tie you down and require you to keep close to home. (March 6-March 20) -- Hard work gives you a sharper view of what you really want now and in the time to come. Those around you may demand answers.

Your Stars This Week for December 04, 2016

Your Stars This Week | December 4th, 2016

The coming week will see many things go through reversals of sorts, both expected and unexpected, requiring individuals to do their best to maintain balance under swiftly changing circumstances. It's not so much that no one knows this is happening; in most cases, in fact, it will be crystal clear! Instead, it's that the necessary response to these events may not be clear at all. It cannot be based on past experience since much of what goes on will be new and previously unseen, unheard and untried. All must be ready to move swiftly when called upon to do so, and all must adopt a more nimble stance in order to go this way or that at a moment's notice. Mobility and agility will surely count for much.

The emotional stakes are likely to be higher by week's end than they were at the start, with many being on the verge of commitments that they had no thought of making in the recent past. Again, this is all part of things moving swiftly -- for many, they'll move swiftly in unimagined, quite surprising directions!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may be called upon to help out in a way that only you can, but this may result in personal expenses that you cannot afford. (April 5-April 19) -- It's important that you get as much work as possible completed early in the week. Later on, you'll be facing certain other issues that will demand much attention.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Your concerns about an older family member are surely valid, but he or she is not likely to change because of anything you say. Be patient! (May 6-May 20) -- You know perfectly well what someone wants from you, but you're not about to give in and provide it just because it's "in the air."

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- The practicalities of a certain project may elude you for a time, but the ideological aspects are sure to be apparent. (June 7-June 20) -- You may want to begin preparing for a journey a full two or three weeks early. There is much that you have yet to nail down.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You can capitalize on one of your errors before the week is out, sending the competition scrambling for a new way to best you. (July 8-July 22) -- You may have trouble keeping up with a loved one who is simply more nimble when it comes to thinking about things in a certain way.

LEO (July 23=Aug. 7) -- You may be struck by the similarities between yourself and someone who is on the other side of almost every key issue. Examine common ground! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Don't mistake someone's enthusiasm for a desire to control you. He or she simply enjoys being engaged and involved.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may have to keep your aversion to certain foods to yourself for a time, as protocol outweighs matters of taste. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You can free yourself of any restrictions that keep you from exploring yourself fully. You will make many key discoveries.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may have to interrupt a perfectly good rest period more than once in order to address important issues in the workplace! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Someone you have trained is likely to demonstrate knowledge greater than yours, but isn't that what you want, after all?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You can touch a friend or loved one across both time and space, and he or she will appreciate your being there in spirit. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may come upon a "now or never" moment so plainly evident that you'll know precisely what to do even though it is completely new.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- A rival is pressing you for some secret information. Are you willing to give up something in one area to gain in another? (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You'll want to avoid obvious distractions as you get started. Later on, you'll be prepared to deal with those that are more surprising.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You can sidestep a certain complication as you move toward a major personal goal. Someone close to you has advice. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Your ability to see where the dangers lie will certainly come in handy for you and those near you. Keep those eyes and ears open!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You'll want to coordinate your travel very carefully; see if you can't consolidate and get things done in fewer trips. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- A loved one is waiting for you to come through as promised. Not only can you come through, but you can offer a very nice surprise as well!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may be able to catch up on your sleep, but take care that you don't overdo it and sap your energy by getting too much rest! (March 6-March 20) -- You're in need of a little counseling from someone who has been in your shoes in the past. He or she knows just what you need to hear.
