The coming week is likely to provide opportunities for relaxation and reflection, along with a renewed effort to achieve that which has been elusive in the past. Continuity is of utmost importance at this time; those who recognize that actions and coincidences are linked will surely have the advantage. Those who think that decisions can be made without regard for what has happened in the past will almost certainly have a difficult time of it, as they discover that such attitudes are no match for the power of interconnectivity in all walks of life. Some may argue that this is proof that "dumb luck" rules their lives -- but others know better.

For everyone, relationship issues are likely to come to the fore at some point this week -- though the timing is likely to be slightly different for each individual. Sacrifices will have to be made by those who are determined to make a go of something difficult, but all must guard against doing that which can hurt others needlessly. Communication is the key.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Your imagination provides you with so many good ideas that you may not know where to begin. Get an expert opinion -- and listen to it! (April 5-April 19) -- Others are waiting for you to come through, but you mustn't lend expertise to another's project without the promise of something in return.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You receive an invitation early in the week that may have you rescheduling a great deal later on. You don't want to miss this, surely! (May 6-May 20) -- You're eager to share the spotlight with someone who inspires you, and who can bring out the best in you at this difficult time. You know just who it is.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You can learn much from someone who has been learning from you for quite some time. The best teachers are good students, after all! (June 7-June 20) -- You're on the right path, but there may be no one around to tell you that. You're going to have to trust your instincts and be nimble as you navigate difficulty.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You mustn't give a chance encounter any more consideration than it truly deserves. This may be difficult, as it spawns a few memories. (July 8-July 22) -- What you've done in the past will have a big impact on what you try to do now -- and in the future. Explore possibilities with more abandon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You have big shoes to fill, but you don't have to do everything all at once. You can "sneak up" on your big success -- with some planning. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You can show others how it's done, provided you trust your instincts and stick to the script you've written for yourself. Don't wing it!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may be defining success these days in your terms, but you're going to have to satisfy someone else's expectations somewhat. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You're looking for something to inspire you, when in fact you are surrounded by all kinds of people and things that can do the trick. Look around!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You're likely to find out just who is on your side and who is not -- and the surprise will enable you to make a few difficult decisions. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You can reach a certain destination with relatively little trouble, provided you recognize precisely where you are and what roads you must take.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Even the simplest decision is likely to take on greater importance than usual, thanks to a confluence of unusual circumstances. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You can bring others together under one banner and achieve something that many thought was nearly impossible. It's a matter of mindset, as usual.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may want to do something your way, after being told you must do it according to long-standing rules. Can you risk it? (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- In your attempt to please another, you're likely to find that something new pleases you far more than expected. Something big is just beginning.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You are waiting for someone to send you the information you need to get cracking on a major project; expect it by week's end. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Not everyone appreciates the fact that you can deliver the goods at a moment's notice -- but you'll likely attract many more admirers than usual.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Time spent alone provides you with a few key discoveries that allow you to explore some new possibilities. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You receive the answers you're looking for, but they don't give you the comfort you were expecting. Rather, they lead to more questions and answers, and so on.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Do you really know what it is you need to get from where you are to where you want to be? You're going to want to explore some unusual options. (March 6-March 20) -- You may have the chance to share with a wide audience the kinds of things you usually keep to yourself -- and you'll certainly enjoy it!

Your Stars This Week | August 5th, 2018

The coming week demands that more time be spent clearing out the cobwebs and dusting things off for future use. It may seem, to many, as if this is a waiting period of sorts, but it must not be wasted, as there is much on the horizon for which everyone must be fully prepared. Repairs, reviews and examinations will take place all week, and those who understand the need to be in tip-top shape will surely benefit. Indeed, those who are not running smoothly and efficiently on all cylinders risk losing out.

There are bargains to be enjoyed, but only for those who are willing to look in the most unusual places for them. Those who are on the go this week mustn't lose sight of the kinds of expenditures that make sense when things get tough; just because one is busy doesn't mean that a waste of resources will be forgiven.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You will want to surround yourself with the most experienced and knowledgeable people in order to do the impossible and score a win. (April 5-April 19) -- Someone is getting closer to the truth, and you have a choice to make: Do what you can to separate yourself from the investigation or lend a hand?

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- All it'll take is one little alteration to your plans and you'll be off and running in a way that you may never have anticipated. (May 6-May 20) -- You can score a few important and well-timed points against a rival who seems to know all your tricks. It's a good time to learn a few more!

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Your attempt at something new may not meet your expectations, but others will be impressed by how fast you are able to learn the subtleties. (June 7-June 20) -- Focus on doing what you know is right, despite the fact that so many others are taking the same shortcut and challenging the rules.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You can put someone in the best position to enjoy all that he or she has coming, but you mustn't expect things to be all even as a result. (July 8-July 22) -- You have the chance to do more for your team than anyone else has lately. Your unique approach points the way for those who want to try something new.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Even a "perfect" plan can backfire, and this week you're likely to encounter much that threatens to derail you as you try to progress. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- As you look for an opportunity in one area, don't forget to acknowledge those in another -- even if you don't want to take advantage.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- There is much you can do to defend yourself against someone who has fought hard against you in the past. You won't be undermined! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- That which was easy only a few days ago proves difficult this week, and you are likely to take several days to settle into a productive routine.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You can prove yourself in a situation that is simply too much for one of your closest competitors. Energy and productivity are high. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You have a new idea that others are likely to find quite interesting -- if not irresistible. You'll want to demonstrate just how it will work!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- It may be up to you to ensure that an age-old tradition of sorts is not abandoned. Others will follow your lead, surely. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may begin the week with the unpleasant feeling that you are somehow in the way, but this is not the case. You simply have to get used to your new role!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- While you wait for things to begin moving more quickly, you can do a little homework and ensure that you can keep up with the times. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Looking back will enable you to see things that are waiting for you over the horizon.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You are after information that is not yours by rights -- but does that mean you have to stoop to illicit means to acquire it? Surely not! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- What you see, at least during the first part of the week, is what you are likely to get. Take care that you don't overlook subtle hints at the workplace.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Though you've only been getting bits of information slowly, piece-by-piece, you're able to put them together into one clear picture. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You should make no attempt to keep a secret of any kind, as you will surely be found out -- first by a good friend or a member of your family.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may not understand just what someone else means by sending you certain "clandestine" messages. Investigate now! (March 6-March 20) -- You're likely to unleash a surprise on those who are most unsuspecting right now. The result, of course, is likely to surprise you even more this week!

Your Stars This Week for July 29, 2018

Your Stars This Week | July 29th, 2018

The coming week is likely to require of most individuals a far greater diligence than usual when it comes to cleaning up, one after another. What this means is that one must be responsible not only for his or her messes but also for those left by others. There is likely to be far more to tend to this week than any one person can handle alone; the need for cooperation is paramount. Some may wonder why the urgency, and what value cleanliness really has in the grand scheme of things -- but one will surely have a clear answer when his or her plans cannot pan out because of what someone else may have left in the way.

It may seem quite easy for some to say they are not going to pitch in, but that's not likely to be a viable option as long as they are in the game at all. One must "pay to play" this week, and everyone is part of the team, whether literally or figuratively. It can feel good to do what must be done!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You can turn an otherwise rather tedious job into something fun and rewarding this week if you know how to tap into a group dynamic at home. (April 5-April 19) -- You may have to set certain things aside this week in order to assist an ally who has more to do than he or she was counting on. You can share the load!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- A friend is willing to shadow you this week to ensure that you don't leave anything in your wake that could slow others down. (May 6-May 20) -- A cancellation actually works to your advantage this week, despite the initial disappointment you are likely to feel. You're able to address many key issues.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may fear that you're asking too much of those who are loyal to you -- but that's not the case. They are more than willing to help! (June 7-June 20) -- You may not be able to tell what's bothering you until you have talked through all possible issues. Even then, something still doesn't feel quite right.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You can be someone else's champion this week and fight the good fight when he or she has run out of steam. This is sure to benefit you as well. (July 8-July 22) -- Doing things the way you know how to do them is all that can be asked of you; those who ask anything more don't know you as well as they think they do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- It may be your turn to be the hero this week; you know what waits to be done -- and you know how to do it better perhaps than anyone else. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may be thinking too far ahead at this time and overlooking an immediate matter that must be confronted before anything else. Get a second opinion!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You must stick to the plan this week in order to keep from playing mind games with yourself. Don't imagine there's more to do than there is! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- It's a good week to focus on the more mundane requirements of each and every day. Tackling these issues adds up, and you will have accomplished much!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may not have as many choices as some others this week, but that can work in your favor. The path you must take is straight and narrow. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Your alliances may be shifting slightly at this time. Concentrate on key options with friends, but don't let others know ahead of time what choices you will make.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You can do much to ease rising tensions at home. Start by focusing on the things that everyone around you can see and acknowledge. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may be wishing that you had never started something that's become far more difficult than expected -- but it's too late to go back now. Keep moving forward!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You can turn a long wait into a productive period. Use the time you've been given to make a plan and sort out a domestic problem. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You needn't follow anyone else's template as you do something new and challenging this week. You can find an effective way of getting it done.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You've been repeating patterns that are not healthy for you or anyone else around you, but this week you can change things for the better. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Thinking that you've been left alone to deal with a difficult situation isn't an accurate assessment; you're overlooking several options.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may not be thrilled with the way things progress this week, but if you buckle down, you can get past this brief period of discontent. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Now is not the time to think in terms of permanence; you must deal with things in a more immediate, short-term manner in order to keep moving forward.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- A friend agrees to help you out, but this mustn't be taken as a sign that you can let down at all; indeed, you must increase your overall output! (March 6-March 20) -- Going from here to there and back again takes up more time and energy than you had anticipated; you must rely on others to do what you cannot.
