Your Stars This Week | October 15th, 2017

The coming week is likely to see many individuals recognize opportunities to make a new start in some regard. This doesn't mean, of course, that they will take advantage of it! Indeed, those who are eager for a change must acknowledge that there will be a good deal of hard work required to implement that change, and to make it permanent -- especially if there are others affected, either directly or indirectly. Everyone must remember that he or she is not, despite any sense of autonomy, entirely alone -- and what he or she will decide to do this week will no doubt affect someone else, somewhere, to some degree. Not only logistics must be addressed, but what others may think or do as a result of any perceived change must be acknowledged as well. Of course, this can be avoided by embracing the status quo -- but that's not an option for everyone this week.

This is a good week for overcoming distance -- either through open communication or by way of vehicular assistance. Those who choose to travel the open road in order to make desired changes will have to prepare thoroughly, of course, and ready themselves for the surprises that will no doubt pop up along the way.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- What you see isn't likely to be what you get, at least during the first part of the week. It's your own expectations that are out of sync. (April 5-April 19) -- You may have had difficulty when sounding others for information, but this week you should get what you need by asking simple, direct questions.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may have a run-in with someone who isn't willing to yield to your rational approach. You must prepare yourself for a fight. (May 6-May 20) -- Giving another what he or she wants may be the answer on one or two occasions, but you don't want to make a habit out of it. You must know where to draw the line.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may feel quite far from someone who has helped you find your center in the past, so it will be up to you this week to center yourself! (June 7-June 20) -- You may find, after examining all contingencies, that you will be able to grant someone else a favor with little or no impact to your own carefully laid plans.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- What goes on all around you this week will have you changing your mind again and again, but ultimately you may revert to your original thinking. (July 8-July 22) -- Focus on what you know, and all things will align correctly this week. If you let yourself be drawn into something foreign, much may be overturned.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You can learn a great deal about someone new, provided you do what you can to see the world from his or her point of view. Don't impose your own! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- There is much you want to do this week, and much you have to do, so you'll want to spend your time as wisely as possible to satisfy your needs and desires.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- If you find yourself at cross-purposes with someone you work with, do what you can to ease tensions. Start by assuming he or she is right! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You can't be afraid of environmental influences, and this week there are likely to be many. Do what you can to rid yourself of any false assumptions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You'll want to share new information with those closest to you as soon as you receive it this week. Delays can prove hazardous. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Your own needs and desires may clash this week, and you may find yourself wishing you could be in two places at once. A loved one helps you sort things out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You will have to take a more proactive stance throughout the week, as you help reduce friction between two warring factions. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You'll want others to come to you with ideas and suggestions, but what is really in it for them? Make it clear that you will make it worth their while.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You'll have a story to tell this week when all is said and done -- but don't be premature in the telling of it. Final details matter! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may be stopped in your tracks at least once this week by someone you never expected to encounter. This helps you prepare for future surprises.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may have to beg someone to make concessions for you after you realize that the current state of affairs is not for you. Be honest. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may not appreciate another's attempts to take advantage of you this week, but you'll soon be ready to face a likely challenge any time it arises.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You're pushed to the limit today by one who doesn't understand how busy your duties make you, but there may be no remedy for this just now. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may find yourself grappling with certain issues that you thought had been dealt with permanently some time ago. Did you drop the ball?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- There are certain ways you'll have to do things this week, but on at least two occasions you'll have the freedom to improvise. (March 6-March 20) -- Are you qualified to do what someone is expecting you to do? If the answer is no, you'll want to make that clear sooner rather than later!

Your Stars This Week | October 8th, 2017

The coming week is likely to see many individuals taking advantage of opportunities that once were lost, but have now been found -- or, in some cases, manufactured again. Indeed, those with the greatest chances of success this week are likely to be those who have assumed that a past failure cannot be overcome. They will mark the time ahead in indelible ways, but will discover, as this week opens, that those expectations are to be shattered by a second, even in some cases a third, chance. No one should assume that it's over, whatever "it" is; all will discover, either directly or indirectly, that the stars are aligned in such a way that to try something again that didn't work out the first time is to invite success and banish the idea that it can't be done forever. Some will be surprised to learn just how easy it can be to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat this week.

Those who think they deserve something better can begin to enjoy an uptick in activity and reward -- but it's not going to happen automatically or by accident. It will take real effort to bring about desired improvements to one's daily life, but it is certainly possible this week. Only the naysayers are likely to fall short.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Instructions come at you very quickly this week, requiring you to be flexible and make adjustments as you go. You may get very few breaks. (April 5-April 19) -- You will want to consider carefully which steps to take this week as you think about where you are and where you want to be. A partner shares his views.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- There are those who would have you go against your instincts this week, but you know that it's best to do what comes naturally. (May 6-May 20) -- The time has come for you to demand what's yours by right. Someone has been holding out on you, and you must be willing to stand up for yourself in no uncertain terms.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- What you do this week is likely to attract attention, but you will have to work carefully to be sure it's the right kind. (June 7-June 20) -- You make a surprise discovery about yourself or your family this week that gives you much greater optimism about something you've been planning for some time.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may not find it easy to share this week, but by letting others in on what you are thinking, you can start getting a new idea off the ground. (July 8-July 22) -- You'll have more than one chance to shine this week, and it's likely that you can parlay one simple opportunity into many more.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- What you ask for as the week opens may not be available to you right away, so you must be prepared to accept an alternative if it can be arranged. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may not think a great deal of what you hear as the week opens, but events later on make you realize that you were a party to something very significant.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You're eager to make changes to your environment that promote a healthier and more efficient way of working. You can't do this alone. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- The more you try to hide from others this week, the more you are likely to reveal. It's best to avoid any kind of deception, intended or not.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Something you don't yet know is likely to be revealed to you, bit by bit, over time this week. Work with those who are pushing you right now. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You'll want a little time as the week opens to formulate a plan, but certain circumstances aren't going to let you remain inactive for too long.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You begin the week with an overwhelming desire to step in and help someone -- and you can do it, provided your motive remains pure. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may realize that something you've worked for over time isn't right for you, but appropriate changes can be made before this week comes to a close.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may object to limits and restrictions being imposed on you and another by a third party. You must fight this within the rules. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- The real and the imagined may clash this week, as you struggle to navigate a situation that isn't what it seems to be, no matter how you look at it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may have to look twice at the rules and regulations before you are comfortable doing what you are asked to do this week. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You should be able to get ahead of the game this week simply by keeping the pace up and not letting distractions get the better of you. Focus!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You'll want to avoid throwing good money after bad this week, when you realize that an initial investment was less than sound. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- A search yields surprising results this week. What you uncover lets you move forward with greater confidence. A loved one expresses himself in a new way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You can have an important and lasting influence on members of your team this week, but you can't approach them in the same old way. (March 6-March 20) -- You may receive an invitation that complicates your week. Can you make time to accept? Look for any opening that you can fill with something productive.

Your Stars This Week for October 01, 2017

Your Stars This Week | October 1st, 2017

The coming week will require some, but not all, to engage in clandestine activities and behind-the-scenes work to ensure that their big plans are set in motion or, in a few cases, brought to fruition after a long haul. Others must avoid such sub-rosa endeavors, as these go counter to much they believe in and can actually work against them in the long run, despite any short-term lure of immediate financial gains, "quick fixes" and so forth. So the week, it seems, will favor some who engage in a kind of "cloak and dagger" business, and some who do not, and it will be of the utmost importance for each individual to figure out which camp he or she belongs in, in order to make choices accordingly. A mistake here can come back to haunt a person -- as well as his or her friends and family.

Personal matters will take on greater importance than usual as many find themselves up against the kinds of deadlines that can set them back quite a bit -- either emotionally or financially, or both. Anyone who has made a secret deal with someone else should track the progress of that deal to ensure that all is still on track to come out as planned.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You can contribute to another's endeavor and come out on top simply because you are in the right place at the right time. Don't gloat! (April 5-April 19) -- There may be only one person you can ask for the kind of help you are likely to need, and you can't afford to let too much time pass. Ask now!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may receive inspiration from someone quite surprising. He or she is willing to do everything possible to support your efforts. (May 6-May 20) -- You may be overlooking the simplest solution to a pressing problem. Take a look at what you haven't yet done; one of those tasks should do the trick.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Watching another can give you the confidence you need to try something similarly difficult all on your own. It will be a memorable week! (June 7-June 20) -- You must stay in touch with those who have been important contributors to your efforts in the past. They can help you raise the bar.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You're not likely to go astray if you remain in contact with an older family member who has your best interests at heart. (July 8-July 22) -- Now is the time for you to sever ties with someone who has been holding you back. You know who it is, and you know what you have to say. Make no delay!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Your imagination may play games with you, making you think that you are much further from an important goal than you really are. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Fantasy and reality will be at odds, but you can be the one to make everything clear to those who are most affected. You surely know what's what!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You want to have a good time, but you may not be willing to do what is necessary to make that happen -- until a friend speaks up. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- The ordinary will become the extraordinary after you step in and do something that comes quite naturally to you -- but that others are unable to do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- The news you are expecting may not come, but that doesn't mean you can't continue to move forward on your own. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may receive word about a close friend from a third party you do not know well. Can you believe what you hear? You may have to ask some awkward questions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may have to travel outside your comfort zone to deal with someone who isn't playing by the rules. Beware any secret deals. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You can't help but act on what you see, as your instincts will compel you to do the right thing. Others are going to have to accept that.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may be the only one others trust to get a certain job done, even though you truly do not enjoy doing it. Money may be an issue. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You're eager to get started on something that you've been planning for a long time, but a loved one may doubt that you're ready. You can prove otherwise.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You can see what others cannot, waiting for you over the horizon. Your preparations must address the needs of family and friends. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may not be where you are supposed to be as the week opens, but your activities are likely to take you there soon. Hang on tight!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may not be sympathetic to another's plight, but you may find that you are willing and able to lend some assistance anyway. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You'll make an important discovery that strengthens things on the home front. Someone you know well may question your motives, but only for a time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You are pursuing a goal that others have long since abandoned, but you feel it is still worthwhile -- perhaps even necessary. (March 6-March 20) -- You differ in many ways from a close friend or working partner, but that doesn't mean that you can't assist each other to satisfy your few common needs.
