Your Stars This Week | January 8th, 2017

The coming week will see many new doors opened and numerous individuals marching forward to claim what is theirs, each making a choice that can reap rewards for some time to come. However, with each door that opens, another will close. This means that even as one takes advantage of a new opportunity, he or she must also bid farewell to something that is no longer viable or productive. It could be a job, a hobby, a home, a relationship -- it could be anything, in fact, from the sublime to the ridiculous! It is essential that all be ready for this kind of transition, as shifting from the old and outdated to the shiny and new offers unmatched potential to those who choose to bid farewell to the past in favor of the future.

Many decisions may, indirectly at least, involve the prospect of travel. Even a simple decision to pursue a new job or explore a new relationship may well offer the chance to pack up and head off to new horizons -- in some cases, this is where the excitement really lies. Soon, even the most peripatetic may be putting down roots in a new place.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You're tempted to go it alone, but a little voice inside your head tells you to reach out to a friend. You won't regret it. (April 5-April 19) -- You may have to reveal a little more about yourself than you had planned, but the payoff should be considerable in the end.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You're after something that may not be available just yet, but it's good to go through the motions -- at least for now. (May 6-May 20) -- Someone will send you a message that has you charting a different course later in the week. Is this something with a future?

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Someone close to you may balk at your suggestions, and you had better find out why. There's something going on you need to know about. (June 7-June 20) -- You may be getting information from so many sources that you don't know whom to listen to, but an ally will make him- or herself known very soon.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Send out feelers early in the week, and you should get precisely what you want later on. Give things time to develop, and don't be in a hurry. (July 8-July 22) -- You're in need of a little assistance of a kind that doesn't come along every day. Be ready to move as soon as it becomes available.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may not have to spend much time examining a problem to know how to solve it, but the actual solving may take longer than expected. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Any way you look at it, the situation you find yourself in is both good and bad, but you can certainly accentuate the good!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You'll be able to bring a special talent to bear and solve a problem that has been plaguing others for quite some time. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- A friend's actions give you pause. Take time to talk through issues that arise as a result of your unexpected response.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You can do for a friend what someone recently did for you, and he or she will, in turn, pay it forward to someone else. Good going! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Now is the time for you to secure your place among those who consider themselves experts. You know just as much as they do!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Take care not to overstate your case, as this will make it more difficult for others to support you every step of the way. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may not fully believe in a cause being advanced by another, but there's no harm in lending your support as things get off the ground.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You've made your opposition to someone's position known in no uncertain terms. Now you must wait to see how things fall out. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You've managed to get yourself involved in something new and exciting, but do you really know what's required as a result? Do your homework!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Reach out to a friend early in the week, and the two of you may enjoy many new adventures in the days that follow. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may be tempted to make changes in and around the home, but try not to dedicate the whole week to such matters.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Tracking another's progress doesn't mean that you will make any of your own. You must focus more on the task at hand! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- A loved one will come to you with a puzzle early in the week. You may have to set a few things aside if you want to help in the most effective way possible.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You and a friend have been making some big plans, and you may finally be able to set them in motion -- slowly at first. (March 6-March 20) -- You'll want to dedicate a good portion of your week to a project you've been putting off for too long. You are prepared and well equipped.

Your Stars This Week for January 01, 2017

Your Stars This Week | January 1st, 2017

The coming week is likely to begin very much as expected for most individuals who are, in the traditional vein, looking back even as they look forward -- and the traditional will count for much during these first seven days of the new year. Some, however, will take advantage of this opportunity to make sweeping changes that seem to flout tradition entirely and lean aggressively toward a bold new future and a new kind of life. Work, family, love, faith -- all may be examined and tossed into a melting pot that can yield much that is novel in the lives of many. Almost everyone will know someone who has chosen to throw caution to the wind and do the seemingly inexplicable in order to maximize his or her chances for a brighter future.

What all this means is that the week's events can prove pivotal for the year to come, and one's actions will surely shape much of what happens in the approaching months. Anyone who believes that this is just another new year is fooling himself -- and there may be a price to pay as a result!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Your sense of humor is likely to carry you through a week that would otherwise prove quite trying. Others show their support. (April 5-April 19) -- Several people are likely to drift into your orbit, but the cause is unclear. Soon you'll understand what is really going on.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may be eager to see how your plans are resonating with others, but you don't want to hold things up for this reason. Keep moving forward! (May 6-May 20) -- Coming events will be worth remembering, and you may be able to build momentum each and every day.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may not have realized just what is at stake, but your ability to roll with the punches will surely come in handy. (June 7-June 20) -- You may reconnect with someone who, perhaps years ago, influenced you in a way that you will never forget. Progress continues.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You can turn things around and begin anew, but be certain you aren't simply hiding from that which cannot be ignored. (July 8-July 22) -- You may be seeking a commitment from someone who is not in a position to give you one, but by week's end you'll know exactly what is possible.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may be approaching a deadline of sorts that makes you more nervous than you would otherwise be. Don't procrastinate! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You will want to be fully prepared before heading into a situation controlled by a rival. You cannot afford any sort of misstep!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may have to be reminded more than once to stay on task. There is much going on around you that is competing for your attention. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- This is a good week to prove your loyalty to another and his or her cause. Don't let a rival surprise you in any way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You're eager to make a pledge to someone who is ready for more of what you have to offer -- but how can this benefit you, exactly? (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- The plans you make now can remain in effect for quite some time. You'll want to include others as you strategize further.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may have to proceed with unusual caution as the week begins, but later on you can remove any restraints and explore more freely. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Someone close to you is in need of just the kind of assistance only you can give -- and giving it will enable you to make an important demonstration.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You know what is coming, and you know how it will affect you overall. You are eager to see if others are affected similarly. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may be getting used to something that only recently was still causing you a great deal of stress. This can prove quite beneficial.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Letting go of one plan in favor of another may be unavoidable, but that doesn't mean you have to let it go for good. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Current affairs will provide inspiration for the next few weeks, and those who work with you will give you some good ideas.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You are nearing the end of an important personal phase. The fact that it didn't conclude with the passing of the year actually bodes well. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You're not doing what you should be doing, and you know it. You'll have a chance to mend your ways and get back on track.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- When someone lays down the law, you'll want to follow it to the letter -- knowing full well that a time for change will come. (March 6-March 20) -- Now is no time to protest the coming of a new era -- instead, you will want to take advantage of the opportunities it brings.

Your Stars This Week for December 25, 2016

Your Stars This Week | December 25th, 2016

The coming week will, unsurprisingly, open up many doors to interaction among family members, but what may prove unusual is just how many threatened rifts can be avoided entirely, and family conflicts resolved. This is simply because a spirit of reconciliation and understanding will have descended upon those who, under normal circumstances, would not be of a mind to find common ground. So what's going on, exactly? More listening, for one thing! Those who have been too busy talking are likely to give others a chance to air their thoughts and feelings, and that counts for much. Those who have felt overlooked or disenfranchised in the past, for whatever reason, will sense that they are a part of the conversation again, at long last!

Romance may well take a prominent position in the lives of many, and some will choose this time to make changes that can promote a kind of happiness that has been elusive in the past. Those who are in love as the week opens will likely be more so as it ends, despite any fears to the contrary.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You won't be on the outs with a certain old friend for very much longer, especially if that person says what he or she has long wanted to say. (April 5-April 19) -- You must wait your turn, but when it comes, you can surely enjoy everything that comes your way as a result.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- This may be a quieter week than expected, unless you take advantage of the opportunity to join friends on an impromptu getaway. (May 6-May 20) -- You're eager to hear what someone has been up to, but first you must be willing to ease tensions raised by an intrusive third party.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- What you hear may conflict dramatically with what you read; you can arrive at the truth only by mounting your own investigation. (June 7-June 20) -- Things are likely to be much more laid back than expected. See if you can get someone to back you as you try something unusual.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may have reason to distrust the experts as you forge ahead and do what you have been advised not to do. (July 8-July 22) -- Success is at hand, but you may not be ready to complete your journey. A loved one gives you the proper perspective.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You can save a lot of money, or you can let it slip through your fingers. It all depends on how much you've kept up with trends. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You can turn something routine into something extraordinary, but it may take longer than expected. Others want to be involved.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may have to juggle several responsibilities before you can set it all down and focus on your own immediate needs. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- It's a good week to dedicate yourself to a new cause, but take care that you're not being fooled by someone for unspoken reasons.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- There has been plenty of blame to go around in the past, but you'll realize that it's time to let go of all negative feelings. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- The right person in the right job can make all the difference -- and this week, that person is likely to be you. Many rejoice.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You'll want to keep communicating at a steady pace to ensure that everyone is on the same page and no one is left behind. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You'll spot a few new opportunities as the week opens, and what happens next may surprise even you. You have a few decisions to make.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may be required to lead others through a minefield of emotional hazards, but you can do so with great success. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- It may fall to you to control what others could not as the emotional tenor of a situation reaches a new high. Put yourself in another's shoes for a while.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You know what someone is after, and you know that you can provide it, but the perfect deal may not be easy to arrange. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Someone has been giving you subtle hints and warnings recently, and you're sure to find out what they're all about. Your path is clear.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may have to do many things entirely on your own, often for the benefit of others. Your generosity shines through. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- A reunion with someone who has long been far from home gives you hope for a brighter future -- especially where domestic issues are concerned.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You'll have every reason to join forces with another to ensure that what you want to see happen actually does happen. (March 6-March 20) -- A decision made some time ago begins to reap unexpected rewards. You and a loved one can begin an exciting journey together.
