(May 6-May 20) -- The social scene is likely to open one or two professional doors this week; you must be sure to follow up, or they're likely to slam shut quickly.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You can formulate a plan this week that serves everyone well. A profit-making scheme is worth a try, but you mustn't put too much stock in it. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- This week you may be tempted to do something that hasn't worked for you in the past. What makes you think it will be different this time?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You'll be racing against the clock for much of the week, but if you trust your natural skills and the work you've put in, you'll fare well. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Now is the time for you to put all you've got into a single endeavor, for you know who is watching and you know what the potential rewards can be. Go for it!
