Your Stars This Week | February 19th, 2017

The coming week will offer a disproportionate number of opportunities to a very few individuals, while the rest must be satisfied with only a promise of things to come. There is little that anyone can do at this time to ensure that he or she is a member of the former group and not the latter; much depends on seeds sown long ago. Of those who are in the waiting group, the knowledge that it will be a finite period of time may be of some comfort -- though it won't make the waiting any easier, as the anticipated improvements will add such depth and richness to their personal affairs that it may seem impossible to progress without them. Still, those who consider themselves less fortunate than others will eventually have a chance at redemption and happiness -- perhaps sooner than expected, and in ways never imagined.

Matters of policy may come to the fore as those who are most involved in business affairs work to strike workable compromises where only last week there was an insurmountable deadlock. Indeed, only through changes in the status quo can real progress be made -- and that will surely require a balanced give-and-take.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Give yourself a little more leeway than usual, and you may stumble upon something that can be a major long-term benefit. (April 5-April 19) -- Work you do on your own can prove far more effective and lasting than what you do as part of a team -- though teamwork is still essential.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Quality control is likely to be a major branch of your overall intent, as only you can make things right in the time allowed. (May 6-May 20) -- The way you express yourself matters more than the content of your various messages. Still, you must always mean what you say!

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- As you take in your surroundings, you'll want to judge the impact they may have on what you are trying to accomplish. (June 7-June 20) -- A message to a loved one will go astray, and you will have to scramble to be sure that your intentions are known. Technical redundancy can surely help.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You'll want to be sure that you have more than enough of what you need immediately at your disposal. Don't squander resources! (July 8-July 22) -- You will want to keep the lines of communication open between yourself and a rival, as you soon may be working together!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You can improve the situation at home by granting a family member a little more autonomy -- though you'll want to keep your eyes open. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- What happens early in the week is likely to meet with your approval, but later on your expectations may be dashed in an unusual way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- A loved one will be able to get more out of you than you had anticipated, and he or she won't have to do anything unusual. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Your response to someone who has lashed out at you inexplicably can make things better or worse, depending on how you want it all to play out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- The obvious plays a key role in your week. What you see and hear is likely to mean precisely what you think it means -- until it doesn't! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Give someone a little bit of what you so desperately want, and you'll forge a new kind of partnership that can benefit you both for quite some time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may think that you're nearing the end of the line, but in fact you have miles to go before you sleep -- and others eagerly wait for you. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Something that seems to appear out of the blue will turn out to be significant for quite some time. It is actually a product of a long evolution.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You seem to think that you have all the answers just because your every move seems to get the job done, but things may change. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Self-love must win out over self-neglect -- though you are not usually prone to such seemingly self-centered thought or behavior.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Someone has you in his or her sights, and it will take everything you've got to escape any attempts to reel you in. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Those who gravitate toward you are doing so in spite of themselves, and you must keep this in mind as you begin working for or against them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Caution is advised, as you are facing certain dangers that you could not possibly have anticipated even a week or two ago. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- A message you recently sent comes back to you unread, so to speak -- but does that mean your intent hasn't gotten through loud and clear? You must wait and see.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- An attempt at courtesy early in the week may be misinterpreted, resulting in an unexpected difficulty that you must overcome. (March 6-March 20) -- What you do for another can help you in a general sense, as your overall outlook will improve. Others are eager to make your acquaintance.

Your Stars This Week | February 12th, 2017

The coming week will require the majority of individuals to commune more deeply and in greater detail with certain friends, loved ones or business partners to maximize the odds of success and keep things moving forward at a pace that can produce measurable gains. In cases where the established relationship is strained, the work can become rather tempestuous -- cool heads may not always prevail! In other situations, those who have had little to say in the past may come up with just the right idea at the right time, providing everyone involved with an outlet for creativity, productivity and satisfaction. All must be warned, however: Too much attention paid to the purse strings will skew efforts and make real success a difficult thing to achieve.

At times, someone else does indeed know more and can illuminate the difficult issues to make them more accessible and solvable. Those who are able to acknowledge this, at the right times and in the right places, will have the advantage. One doesn't have to be in charge in order to win!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Don't be bashful; feel free to envelop another in the warm embrace of your better angels. Things go deeper than you expect. (April 5-April 19) -- Now is not the time to follow in another's footsteps, even if you've been told you should. The pathway you forge for yourself is best.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may become quickly disenchanted with things as you have arranged them, but you are allowed to make any changes you desire. (May 6-May 20) -- The tangled web you've woven over the past few days or weeks can only be undone by someone who knows you better than you know yourself, and you have an idea who this is!

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Avoid any cursory appreciation of that which you proclaim to enjoy. Feel free to savor what comes your way, in any way you like. (June 7-June 20) -- A friend or loved one may be unusually combative as the week opens, but your honest, gentle approach proves beneficial to all who encounter him or her.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Someone is attempting to see through you in some way, and you'll be aware of his or her constant, penetrating gaze -- be it literal or figurative. (July 8-July 22) -- You'll have the opportunity to eliminate virtually all negative expressions from your lexicon, so positive is the overall outlook.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Are you sure the time is right for you to resume what you interrupted for the sake of another? He or she may not be fully integrated. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Examine closely the gap between where you are and where you wish to be. Make no assumptions about what you should or should not do!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You are curious about the origin of certain deep-seated feelings or fears, but are you ready to take an honest look at catalytic events? (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Another's apparent faults are not likely to seem so severe when chewed, swallowed and digested. You must be fair when all is said and done.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Your intellectual dexterity will be on full display throughout a week that offers you all manner of compelling options for study. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Things that were fluid and changeable only days ago may be solidified, but it will take a certain amount of persuasion on your part.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Get rid of all the extraneous baggage you've been carrying lately. You'll want to be emotionally streamlined and efficient right now. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You are risking a great deal by letting a certain native ability go to seed. You must be willing to tend it with consistent care and interest.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may sense that someone close to you is trying to burrow into places that you don't let anyone see -- much less touch. Protect yourself. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Others will be willing to listen to your manifesto at some point, but are they going to be supportive or critical of your primary stance?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- An unexpected revelation may have you rethinking a current relationship. You've known things were not where you'd like them to be; now you know why. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- It's a good week to consider taking a path that will allow you to explore a talent you've ignored for too long. After all, talents do not expire!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Beware the emotional undertow that threatens to pull you back to another time when things were not as favorable as they are now! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- If it's redemption you're after, you may surely have it -- but only if you're willing and able to look at yourself through an unclouded lens.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Your position will afford you a more inclusive, panoramic view of what lies ahead. This can be helpful to others, as well. (March 6-March 20) -- It's time once more to think outside the box. Your native creativity is something that others will want to take advantage of in unusual ways.

Your Stars This Week | February 5th, 2017

The coming week will open on a note of highest expectation, as nearly everyone will be in the position of waiting eagerly -- for important news, a key development, an imminent arrival, a golden opportunity or the chance to shine in a situation that may come around only once in a blue moon. Indeed, most are ready for something quite extraordinary to happen -- and happen it will, in most cases -- but patience will be required as most of these exciting events are not going to occur precisely on schedule or according to plan. What is one to do? Fill the time, of course -- by keeping busy, occupying the mind, preparing for what is to come and strengthening the bonds that will prove to be essential once things really start happening.

The personal and the professional are likely to combine in interesting ways, and not always intentionally. Indeed, some will find themselves dealing with difficult situations because these two central aspects of their lives are actually colliding in a manner that requires attention and, in some cases, decisions that are not easy to make.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may wish that things were somewhat different from the way they actually are, but a friend can show you how to work with current realities. (April 5-April 19) -- Your attachment to something from your past may be holding you back. Try to separate yourself from anything that isn't up to date.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may be skating on some very thin ice. Do what you can to improve your sense of security in and around the home. (May 6-May 20) -- A sense of urgency gives everything you do a certain unusual energy and drive. You'll have earned a rest when the time comes!

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Your prospects are solid, but you may not understand exactly what is compelling you to move in a certain direction. Trust your instincts. (June 7-June 20) -- You may have trouble discerning what is real and what is not -- and your fantasy life is likely to get a boost from a former friend or lover!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- It may take some expert maneuvering to get what you want, but it will remain in sight almost without interruption. Keep trying. (July 8-July 22) -- No matter how much you share with a certain friend or loved one, it won't be enough. You'll want to raise the level of commitment very soon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Progress may be interrupted for a time as you are forced to deal with an issue you've kept at bay for quite a while. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- A family member may not say so, but he or she is in need of help -- the kind that only you can give. Be generous with your time and resources.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You mustn't let others dictate all the changes. You have an agenda that must be respected -- by you, especially! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You are not playing by the rules, and you haven't been for quite some time. You may have a run-in with a self-appointed authority figure.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Someone in charge is likely to give you a second chance when he or she realizes that you simply made an innocent mistake. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Keep your eyes on the prize. Don't let anyone convince you that your efforts aren't worth it -- or that something else is better for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- While working in support of another's cause, you're likely to find one of your own, about which you can feel just as passionate. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Take care that you don't interpret another's behavior incorrectly, as this could lead to a breakdown in feeling or communication -- or both.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You're eager to see where things are going between you and a certain someone. There are matters you must talk about very soon! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You can find a great deal of enjoyment in an endeavor not of your design. Indeed, a friend seems to know what you want better than you do!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You know better than anyone else why you are content to remain stationary for now. This is not permanent, after all! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- A compromise yields far more than anything you could gain through a stubborn insistence that your way is the only way. Many are on your side.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may confuse a message from an ally for something that you have been hoping not to hear. An adjustment in attitude is called for. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Events will tell you a great deal about your current state of mind. Any changes you make will have far-reaching effects.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Someone may be operating under the assumption that things are the same now as they were years ago. It's time to make things clearer. (March 6-March 20) -- You can do a great deal to improve relations between two warring parties. Your ability to find common ground transcends conflict.
