Your Stars This Week | September 3rd, 2017

The coming week will see a great many individuals choosing the good of the many over the good of the few, making decisions that benefit all those engaged in a particular endeavor rather than pushing the individual agenda that may actually work against the group. There will be challenges in store, of course, but they can certainly be tackled if everyone remembers that not everything is of equally great importance. Sometimes an issue that becomes a sticking point may reasonably be set aside, but it will usually take the influence of one farsighted individual to convince the group to abandon a concern that is causing problems in favor of those that can bring people together rather than pulling them apart.

There are some who will find themselves in unaccustomed leadership positions, and they will discover that they are able to do what is necessary to maintain productivity and even harmony -- but certain sacrifices will be required! Those in charge may not get exactly what they want -- yet -- but they can help others be satisfied all week long.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You can save the day more than once, winning the gratitude of many and the admiration of one whose opinion really counts. (April 5-April 19) -- You may have to reveal something about yourself early in the week in order to get things moving more quickly later on. A loved one will have your back.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may not know just what is going on when it first begins, but later you'll realize it's something you've long wanted to happen. (May 6-May 20) -- You can avoid a fall from grace simply by doing or saying something very simple at just the right time. You'll certainly see who your friends are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- The actions of one or two friends may have you wondering what you've been doing all this time. You can make a change. (June 7-June 20) -- You may be able to enjoy one more day with someone who, very soon, will have to be heading somewhere you cannot follow. This week will prove to be bittersweet.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You can explore some difficult issues with someone who knows you better, perhaps, than you know yourself. (July 8-July 22) -- What you dig up can be used for good -- if you can avoid the temptation to use it against someone you see as a challenger. Try to be fair to everyone you encounter.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Can you get things done with someone looking over your shoulder? You may be surprised to find that you can increase the pace -- and the quality! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You'll be tempted to set everything aside and focus on the needs of that special someone all week long -- but certain key issues refuse to be ignored.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Patience is more than a virtue; it is a necessity. You will want to keep things calm under the very worst of circumstances. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Quality control will be a major concern all week long. In the end, you may realize that doing something your way is the very best way to do it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You're going to have to do more than you had planned in order to get everything done on schedule. A job within a job must be completed! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You're not likely to make any fashion statements, as what you wear is far more geared toward function than form. It's what you have to do!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may not remember to do everything on the docket, but you'll certainly get most things done. What remains can surely wait. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You're likely to be surprised by an assignment or challenge that someone brings to you. It's not at all what you've been good at lately.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You're going to have to prepare yourself for a physical challenge that will come your way toward the end of the week. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- The instructions you receive as the week opens may not be crystal clear, but you can interpret them correctly and get the job done well and ahead of schedule.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You're not likely to do what others expect you to do. This will give you the advantage in certain situations that surprise even you. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- There's no point in arguing over something that is not an essential issue. You'll want to expend energy on what really matters.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may find yourself very far from home and enjoying yourself immensely. You can learn to delight in exploring unfamiliar territory. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You're going to want to make things a little spicier than usual, especially for that certain someone who does so much for you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You can turn a routine endeavor into something very special, and it won't take a great deal of extra thought or effort. (March 6-March 20) -- You have your reputation to think of. Don't let anyone do anything that can put you in a vulnerable position. You must always think ahead!

Your Stars This Week for August 27, 2017

Your Stars This Week | August 27th, 2017

The coming week is likely to see two factions facing off in a contest of wills -- a contest born of the conflict between two basic ideologies: a desire for change, and a desire to see the status quo maintained. There is nothing new in this; indeed, this very battle has been waged endlessly through the ages! But this week, the weapons wielded may be different, and each faction must face the fact that in the future it may be self-destructive to continue the war at all. This is a good week, then, to focus on compromise as a possibility, to see if leaders can meet in the middle to determine a path beneficial to all -- or most. Those whose worldviews are habitually self-centered are likely to find that their time is coming to an end, and that efforts to put the needs of the many ahead of the needs of the few are likely to have the advantage.

Those who are likely to be most satisfied are those who have seen this coming, and who have eschewed any attempts to combat opposing views in favor of tolerance and acceptance. Indeed, those who see similarities between people rather than differences can begin to enjoy the remarkable success that has been so long in coming.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You'll want to finish what you are doing as quickly as possible so that you can focus on something that you've long waited to try. (April 5-April 19) -- You're eager to see what you can get going with a new friend or partner. He or she has many ideas to share -- and you'll be eager to explore most if not all of them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- It's time for you to get moving. What happens early in the week is likely to propel you forward faster than you might have expected. (May 6-May 20) -- You don't have to worry about your team being at odds with your leadership. Everyone is on board and eager to see where you can take them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may not know exactly where you are going as the week opens, but after studying what goes on elsewhere, you can formulate a plan. (June 7-June 20) -- You may find yourself struggling with something that used to be quite easy for you. It's important that you determine just what has changed in recent weeks.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You can learn a thing or two from someone who has gone a different route to get to the same place you are headed. What advantages does he have? (July 8-July 22) -- A difficult situation will arise, necessitating quick decisions of the kind you've tried to avoid in the past. Others are willing to follow you anywhere.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Focus on productivity. Can you increase efficiency without spending too much money? An investor is out there! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You needn't explain yourself to everyone, though you must be ready to clarify your overall perspective to one who is considering making a change.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You don't want to skip the preliminaries, trivial though they may seem. It is just that kind of discipline that can win the day again and again. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Your best-laid plans are likely to go awry as you realize you didn't take certain circumstances into account.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Changes in the lives of others needn't affect you directly -- unless you want them to. In that case, much is likely to happen. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You know things are not at all as they should be, yet you are uncertain as to how to make necessary changes. Follow another's lead for a while.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You'll be learning more than one lesson at a time, and each will inform the other. Take a look at what someone else is doing. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You mustn't think that what you are dealing with is permanent or unchanging. Indeed, you can alter much to suit your current needs and desires. Give it a try!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You'll welcome almost any developments as long as they have you moving in a new direction. Even slow progress will do! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You're eager to see what someone else has to offer before you accept any proposal that comes your way. Don't overlook what might be best for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You'll receive news that will leave you reeling, but you can recover quickly if you keep in mind just what it is you're trying to accomplish. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You'll be dealing in both reality and fantasy -- perhaps even at the same time! A friend or partner will provide the necessary perspective.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Even though you do not have much faith in someone else's ability to lead, you can do much that benefits the team. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Your decisions will affect others in a way that they are not at all accustomed to. You must be willing to help them navigate some unfamiliar territory.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You don't want to wait until the last minute to unveil something you've been working on for quite some time. Avoid any real delays. (March 6-March 20) -- You may have to come up with a solution to a pressing problem that puts you in a vulnerable position. Is there any alternative?

Your Stars This Week | August 20th, 2017

The coming week will see those born under various groups of signs competing in ways that, while not entirely new, are not familiar either. What is most important is not what the game might be, or what the prize promises to be, but how each group relates to the others as the contest is waged. Earth, fire, water and air signs will all stake claims to certain spoils, but it's not merely a desire to win that will give any one group the advantage. Rather, it is self-knowledge and a deeper understanding of the competition that will prove most important. Even so, any assumption of comprehension can work against one. All must commit to keeping eyes and ears open, employing critical faculties and coming to new conclusions about teammates and rivals as the contest heats up.

There is certainly room for cleverness and novel ways of thinking, but traditional thinking and methods must not be undervalued. Indeed, those who can combine the old and the new are likely to prevail, while those who are baffled by appearances will surely be at a disadvantage. In other words, it's fine to think outside the box, but always remember that the box exists!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Give others the benefit of the doubt, and they'll do the same for you when the time comes. You're all in this together. (April 5-April 19) -- Repetition may drive you to distraction after a while, but you know that it's the only way to arrive at a high level of performance every step of the way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- What you've been waiting for is right around the corner, but things may have slowed down to the point that it won't arrive just yet. (May 6-May 20) -- You will have to formulate a plan that allows you to slip past others unseen and do what must be done without anyone knowing what you're up to.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may find yourself racing against the clock in a way that you are not used to, but you can adjust quickly and perform up to par very soon. (June 7-June 20) -- A friend will afford you a rare chance to remember something special that you both experienced a long time ago. Don't get lost in nostalgia, however!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You'll play on another's sympathies just enough to get what you want when you ask, but this isn't going to work every time. Don't overdo it! (July 8-July 22) -- Once you've seen how things are supposed to be, you'll want to have them that way every time -- but is that really possible? Some compromise is necessary.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- A combination of forces will see you trespassing where you have never journeyed before, but you can turn this disadvantage into an advantage. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- While you continue to work on a project that is far from complete, a member of your team can address an emerging situation in your place.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You're not likely to discover anything new about yourself during the first part of the week, but later on you have many revelations. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You know how things are done, and you know when to play an active role or stay out of the way, but such understanding may not come easily.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You and a partner may reach the breaking point, but you needn't fracture completely if you remember what you have in common. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You'll be interested in discovering just what drives someone who has been moving ahead of you. It may be nothing uncommon, just something you don't have.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You won't want to try anything new without giving it a dry run first. That way, you'll minimize the likelihood of errors. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may not understand what someone else is going for as the week opens, but if you watch and listen, you can come to the level of comprehension required.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- A transformation of sorts can be expected, but you won't want to undergo a complete change. Some things must be retained. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- It'll take more effort than you are used to as you try to accomplish something that seemed to happen almost automatically in the recent past.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You mustn't let anyone else tell you that you are approaching something in the wrong way. You know what is required better than anyone. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You're in a position to see things more clearly than most, but there are some who won't accept your opinions or judgments, no matter what.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You'll want to remain on good terms with virtually everyone you interact with. Remember, your success is shared success! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may have to perform a few quick fixes as you progress from one endeavor to another. You'll want everything to work exactly right.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Accuracy is of primary importance; if you don't feel that you are going to hit the bull's-eye, you must slow things down! (March 6-March 20) -- Consistency is what you need to strive for in every endeavor. You must work closely with others to ensure that they are in line with your needs and expectations.
