Your Stars This Week | March 4th, 2018

The coming week is likely to present more than one situation to the unsuspecting that requires immediate reaction and, very probably, the ability and the willingness to do that which has been shunned in the past. Adjustments this week must be lightning-quick; there are few second chances in the offing at this time. Those who hesitate are, as the adage suggests, lost. Accomplishments this week are likely to come in clusters; he or she who does something remarkable isn't going to stop there, but rather do a second and a third thing that attract attention and propel the doer into a new realm of success and reward. Students of cause-and-effect will have no shortage of material to study this week; individuals are likely to springboard from one thing to another with remarkable rapidity all week long.

Some may find themselves walking an emotional or ethical tightrope this week, knowing that there is a decision to make before the week comes to a close that will require strong commitment and the confidence that one's decisions are correct. There's no room for doubt this week, especially among those who are habitual doubters.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You'll feel the pressure this week, but you can rise to the occasion if you remember what it is that has put you where you are. (April 5-April 19) -- You're a force to be reckoned with, and it's up to you to prove just that to the competition. You can accomplish something quite extraordinary indeed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- The lines of communication must remain open this week as you struggle to pass several messages on to those who depend upon you to do so. (May 6-May 20) -- Take care that you spend only as much as you can afford this week; any overspending is likely to be felt for quite some time -- and recovery may be unusually difficult.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You can prove to the powers that be that you're just the one they want to rely on in a position of much responsibility. You've got the goods! (June 7-June 20) -- You can do much to promote ideas that are good for everyone -- even those who have been dead set against what you have to offer. You're on top this week.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You are able to progress almost exactly according to plan this week, though there will be one or two bumps you must approach with care. (July 8-July 22) -- Despite what others may be going through, this is a good week for you to cut loose and pursue a goal you've hidden for a while.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You know just where you are and where you are going, but this week you will have the chance to study just exactly where you've been. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You'll have the chance to work closely this week with someone whom you admire -- and who admires you. You both can learn a great deal from each other -- and progress.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Rising to the occasion is your primary goal this week, but you must first come to understand just what is expected of you. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- A great deal can be accomplished this week in a short amount of time. You must be willing and able to bring your best game to the contest that is now unfolding.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You're going to take some knocks this week, but you can come out of the experience knowing more than you did before. Confidence is high. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You are dealing with pressure that comes from being expected to do so much by so many. This is nothing new to you, however, and you can surely excel.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You're likely to get a little extra this week, despite your inability to provide a little extra when asked. The stars are on your side! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may stumble early in the week, but later on you'll enjoy the opportunity to prove that was an exception to the rule, which says you are No. 1!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You'll receive news early in the week that has you working overtime to get ahead and make time for a surprise opportunity later on. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You can conceal something this week that others would very much like to know -- and it's important that you take time to assess just exactly where you stand.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You are not likely to be content this week unless you are at the center of all that is going on. You can exert a strong influence over others. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Now is no time to try something new, different or exotic; stick to what you know, and what has worked for you so well in the past will guarantee success.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You must pay close attention to what is coming up behind you this week -- and at the same time you must know exactly where you're going. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Your efforts may fall short early in the week -- but that was only practice. When the chips are down, you'll come through for yourself and others.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You're likely to do something this week that puts you in the spotlight for a time, and you must manage your PR with skill. (March 6-March 20) -- Technical mastery is a must this week, and you have much to learn. Still, you can do more than others as you experiment with some new methods.

Your Stars This Week | February 25th, 2018

The coming week is likely to see many individuals scrambling to catch up with work that is unfinished for whatever reason -- and that reason, in most cases, is far less important than the commitment one can and must make to complete the tasks at hand. What this means, of course, is that each and every individual has the choice this week to focus on deeds rather than words, for talk is cheap and only taking the proper actions and the right time can get things done the way they must be done. This week, freedom from distractions of all kinds is not just beneficial but necessary; the completion of jobs large and small is dependent upon focus, commitment, tenacity, and in many cases the ability to work longer hours than usual.

The divvying up of tasks will prove very important this week, where group activities are concerned. Some may be tempted just to jump in and attempt to get things done without a concrete plan -- but that way disaster lies, and may well be the cause of severe flop sweat. Each individual has unique strengths, and they must be suitably applied to projects with care and forethought.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may not have the luxury of tackling things one at a time this week; instead, you may have to get the help of those who understand what you're doing. (April 5-April 19) -- You can unveil something new this week and win the admiration of those at the top. You may also receive a pledge of resources and manpower.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You're likely to be recognized this week for skills and powers that have only recently come to light. You can address a new situation. (May 6-May 20) -- Despite what can only be called a lack of enthusiasm that plagued you in the past, this week you are able to rise to the occasion and score a personal victory.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You are expected to be front-and-center before the week is out, but you may not feel prepared just yet. Get it done! (June 7-June 20) -- What you are thinking and feeling matters far less this week than what you actually do with yourself -- and, even more so, whom you do it for.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- What you do this week isn't likely to receive the attention you feel it deserves, but you will surely be rewarded in far more lasting ways. (July 8-July 22) -- Give yourself credit for what you are able to accomplish this week, and be sure to assess your weaknesses, too, as you encounter them. Balance is key.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You are likely to get what you deserve this week. Friends line up to support you in ways you didn't fully expect you needed. Time is on your side. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Making things count is what it's all about this week. You can perhaps be in two places at once, thanks to the clever, unexpected use of technology.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You must decide this week whether to take a calculated risk or play it safe. One path brings you closer to yourself, and you know which. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may choose to go off-script for a time this week and simply do and say what you feel is right. This is, of course, the best plan right now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may want to attempt something simpler and more stripped-down than usual; this allows you to discover something important about yourself. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- A promise to a family member must take precedence over all other commitments this week. Focus on doing what you know will elevate those around you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You score an important first this week, but it may not be recognized as a landmark accomplishment by some. You can change their minds. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You will almost certainly have many people to thank this week, for what you have to do you cannot do entirely yourself. Share the praise -- and the rewards.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Some things are simply not the stuff of jokes, and this week you must be willing to control yourself and engage in "proper" behavior. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You can step in for someone in need and help rearrange things to suit the greater good. You have the power to do much more as well, even in the time available.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You're about to embark on a journey of discovery that you've long anticipated. Risks are few this week, so you can explore unfamiliar territory. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may find yourself in the middle of something that is too big to fully comprehend; your best bet is to ride it out and maintain your sense of humor.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You're likely to be treated to something quite enjoyable this week -- but you're going to have to make room for it in your busy schedule. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may recognize several of your supporting players this week as those who have supported you in the past as well. It's time to show your gratitude.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may believe that success this week is dependent upon the employment of more people, but in fact you can get it all done on your own. (March 6-March 20) -- You will be encouraged by early returns this week, as the information you receive tells you that you and your team are definitely on the right track.

Your Stars This Week | February 18th, 2018

The coming week is likely to see things work out for many in ways that have never before been anticipated. The "possible" and the "impossible" are likely to commingle freely this week, boggling the mind and making it more likely than usual for one to disbelieve his or her own senses. Those who are most down to earth, however, will realize that what is really happening is that more doors are being opened than usual, and that opportunity is knocking -- loud and clear -- inviting many people to engage in the new, the untried, the unimagined and the highly enjoyable! Indeed, those who are willing to throw caution to the wind can have a fine time exploring what might, at any other time, be rather dangerous; this week, those dangers are likely to prove minimal.

This is a good week to fall in love, for at no previous time -- this year, at least -- have circumstances been so favorable for one person to get to know another in new ways. Understanding what goes on beneath the surface will prove a big part of interpersonal relations in all areas this week.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You can avoid panic this week by refusing to think that you have to be in two places at once. Instead, you can build a workable schedule. (April 5-April 19) -- You may leave people wondering what you're up to when you complete a certain project this week. It may be time to reveal something you've kept hidden.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may find that others are less likely to believe what you have to say this week than they have been in the past. They may be getting wise! (May 6-May 20) -- You can do a few routine things in new and exciting ways. Others will want to follow in your footsteps -- and may actually want to partner with you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You can follow a certain development down a long path that promises to give you more of something you love -- and offers very few dangers. (June 7-June 20) -- What you do may not be in the public interest this week, but that may not be reason enough to stop doing it. Your personal reasons to continue are solid, surely!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You don't want to run afoul of the authorities this week; remaining safe and free may require you to say no to a certain friend's offer. (July 8-July 22) -- It's a good time to share what you know with others, especially when they are able to return the favor. You will benefit in several measurable ways.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You can help your team coalesce around a belief that can inspire everyone who comes in contact with you or those who work with you. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Now is no time to play tit-for-tat with someone who actually has a great deal more power than you could know. He or she may know your weaknesses quite well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- It's important to put your knowledge of the past into play this week. What happened before surely has a lasting influence on what you do now. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- A revelation early in the week is likely to have you changing course without so much as a warning or announcement. Others will just have to keep up.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You and others may choose to investigate certain developments more thoroughly than ever before. You can solve a longstanding mystery. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You mustn't let others know just how involved you are in their affairs this week until it's time for everyone to come clean. You'll know when that time comes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You are ready to put it all on the line for something you believe in. This week, your enthusiasm will carry many others along with you. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary this week merely by applying your true talents to required tasks. Make no mistake: There will be difficulties.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You have some hard work to do this week, but you will also want to take time out to make new connections with those who are new on the scene. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You can breathe new life into a project that many thought was dead. What you do this week will attract a good deal of attention; be honest with all.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may find yourself in a position that allows you to speak truth to power this week -- but take care that you don't overreach. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You won't be able to ignore those whose influence is felt all week long. Take the time to learn something more about your supporters and your critics.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You can put your own special spin on something that you and others have gotten used to over the years. This week it will be quite new! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- It'll be important for you to know the origins of something that serves you so well this week. You certainly cannot do without this and other tools.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- A suggestion you receive early in the week pays off for several days in a row as it helps you overcome your deep-seated fears. (March 6-March 20) -- You will want to talk to someone openly and honestly about what you are facing. He or she has some advice that can send you in the right direction.
