Your Stars This Week | May 12th, 2019

The coming week is likely to require, on the part of most individuals, a far more strict interpretation of rules and regulations than usual. This is in part because the temptation to break those rules in order to maximize personal gains at the expense of another's progress may prove almost irresistible to many, and such a trend must be stopped before it begins. When it comes to hours worked, those in charge will want to err on the side of conservatism; trying to get more out of someone will only incite bitterness on both sides.

Those who are immersed in creative activities this week may be spared the kind of haggling over time and money that distracts others and keeps them from being truly productive. Indeed, the more artistic one's endeavors, the less likely he or she will be to find anything wrong with working conditions or compensation. Enjoying one's work goes a long way this week!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You're likely to be quite moody as the week opens, and this may last for several days until you realize that a mystery can be solved very quickly. (April 5-April 19) -- You can recover from any setbacks swiftly this week. Not everyone can be as flexible and responsive as you are, and that gives you the advantage.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You will want to be more aware than usual of what is going on around you this week. Comparing yourself to another can work for and against you. (May 6-May 20) -- You'll come to understand your place in the scheme of things this week, far more than you have in the past. The difference lies in your ability to be honest with yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may not realize just how much others are affecting your work this week. Take a look at what you have to do and when, and you'll see what's going on. (June 7-June 20) -- You may not have any time to waste on competitive efforts this week; just getting your own job done as well as possible will take up all of your time and resources.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You'll want to keep your attitude in check this week, and your knee-jerk reactions to what others are doing to a minimum. (July 8-July 22) -- You are eager to know what someone is going to do this week, but he or she is keeping things very carefully under wraps. Focus more on your own assigned tasks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may find that expectations are shifting slightly this week, but just enough to give you more wiggle room when you need it. Give someone a second chance. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- A significant change is in the making this week, and you'll want to be sure that you're on the side of things that maintains a controlling influence over what goes on. Now is no time to let someone else call the shots.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may not be able to charge ahead as you had hoped this week. Don't worry, however, as a more considered, cautious approach can work out well for you. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- What is going on all around you this week may have you wondering just who is in charge -- and indeed, you may find that you have to step in and fill a gap in leadership.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You receive news from someone that may prove quite difficult to process for a while. The first thing you must do is confirm the truth of the story. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Others are sure to gravitate toward you throughout the week. This can prove beneficial, surely, but at times it may also be merely a necessary annoyance. Stay calm.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You are one of those lucky individuals to know just what is going to happen this week before it happens -- and that certainly gives you an edge. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- It's not what happens that matters to you most this week, but rather how you interpret what happens -- and what you do in response. Your influence is likely to be widely felt.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Urgent business may keep you from indulging in a private passion for a time this week. When you do find the time, you'll really be able to let loose. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You will likely spend a great deal of time this week tending to another's business, but not because you are being selfless. You're serving your own immediate needs.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You have much in common with someone who has, in the past, been your closest competitor. He or she may now be more interested in working together. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may suddenly find yourself in a situation that you can neither control nor understand. Your best bet, at least for a while, is to trust someone else to act as your guide.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may have reason to reflect on an accomplishment this week. The people you knew then, and the things you did, are all a part of who you are now. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You're eager to see what someone else will make of a situation that has stumped you for some time. It may be that you're merely missing a small piece of the puzzle.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You're eager to do things a certain way this week, but unforeseen circumstances may prevent you from following all the rules to the letter. (March 6-March 20) -- You may have to rely on someone else to let you know what is possible and what is not -- and he or she will also tell you when you are breaking the rules in any way. Listen.

Your Stars This Week for May 05, 2019

Your Stars This Week | May 5th, 2019

The coming week is likely to offer numerous opportunities for individuals to grow, develop, learn and evolve -- and all this progress should prove relatively painless, especially for those who are always open to what comes and who do not resist, in any way, the kinds of changes that are always necessary when one is shedding old skin and venturing forward anew. Indeed, the metaphor is an apt one, for many will find that they can look back and see what is left of their "old selves" discarded and unneeded, just as the excitement of what lies ahead grows and inspires noteworthy action. For those who prefer the middle ground, there will be opportunities to shine. Those who simply want to steer clear of the fray, however, may be disappointed this week.

There may be some who prefer to lean on the traditional rather than experiment with the new, and that can prove quite beneficial in the right situations and under the right circumstances.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- A turn of events is only truly unfortunate if you do nothing with it to learn, grow or expand yourself in the world. You can do all of these, surely! (April 5-April 19) -- A voice from the past sets you off on a course of discovery this week; what you gain is not likely to be measurable in the usual ways. Someone reveals a secret, perhaps.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You can complicate things to the extent that no one is able to follow you, but is that what you want? Now is not the time to go it alone, is it? (May 6-May 20) -- You may be tempted by someone on the periphery today, but you must take care that you're not about to throw away something for which you have worked hard for a very long time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may be put in charge of something you know very little about. You have time this week to read up some, but you'll surely have to learn by doing. (June 7-June 20) -- You've been assigned a project that only you can do, but that's little consolation while you struggle to get your bearings and to juggle far too many preliminary steps.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Something has begun to go awry, but you're not entirely sure what it is -- or how it will affect you. Be sure to get all the up-to-date info you need. (July 8-July 22) -- You may be required to do the same thing more than once today as a result of certain rules and regulations with which you have not yet acquainted yourself. Get updated.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may have been charged with watching over something that requires constant and careful attention. You can do it, but your own affairs need tending. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You have a friend who is in much the same situation as you, but his or her peril is greater. You can step in just in time this week and fix what is broken.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may not find anyone willing to face a certain enemy with you, so you're going to have to do it alone, but not before you've exhausted other ideas. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may be wondering what someone else has up his or her sleeve that is likely to be revealed at just the right moment. Perhaps this will be of benefit to you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You are tempted to throw caution to the wind this week and head off to a place you've never been in order to try something new. Is this really what you want? (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Personal issues are bound to arise this week, but you can get ahead of them and stay there if you are honest with yourself and others. Avoid deception!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You'll be expected to do more this week than usual, but you can better your odds by starting with something that feeds your soul as well as your wallet. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Focus on the week as it develops, and don't let what has happened in the past take up too much of your time or attention. You must be willing to let bygones be bygones.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You've been doing things with a little more swagger than usual, perhaps, and this week your attitude will be noticed by those in charge. Use care. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You'll be sending a lot of messages this week through normal channels as well as some that are quite unusual. The risk of misinterpretation must be minimized.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You are ready to take part in something that is bigger than you are in every sense. You can't expect to be put in charge just yet. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- It's a good week to follow in the footsteps of someone whom you admire and who has your best interest at heart. Don't make the mistake of thinking you're ready to go it alone.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Your confidence is on the rise, and as the week opens you'll recognize just how far confidence alone may take you. Your daring impresses others. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Now is no time for making bets you cannot pay; be sure to keep things on the up-and-up, and don't let anyone talk you into doing something that could deplete your resources.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You're likely to encounter one or two people this week whose favorite word is "no." You can prove that only "yes" has any real value to you right now. (March 6-March 20) -- What you do this week is for the good of all, not just you, whether or not you know it. The stakes are higher than you had expected, too, so be ready to work hard.

Your Stars This Week for April 28, 2019

Your Stars This Week | April 28th, 2019

The coming week is likely to see things develop in unusual ways for many, but even when things are unconventional in the extreme -- and that is possible for some -- the approach must be realistic, solid, pragmatic and thoughtful. No matter how crazy things may seem to be this week, all must strive to keep their feet on the ground and their minds clear of anything that might distract from the work at hand.

Work turned in this week is not guaranteed to please, but that needn't spell the end of the line for anyone. Indeed, second and even third or fourth tries can put one over the finish line, and all those in charge are likely to grant favors of all kinds to those who demonstrate that they are, indeed, working faithfully toward desired ends.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may find yourself working with someone who has accepted a certain situation as unstoppable or unchangeable. This isn't true, and you can prove it. (April 5-April 19) -- Your stubbornness is going to get in your way and prevent you from doing what everyone knows you have to do for your own well-being. You've got to acquiesce.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- "Yes" and "no" are only words, and this week there is much more going on than can be summed up in such a simplistic manner. Dig deeper; study harder! (May 6-May 20) -- You cannot depend on the first idea you have this week to see you through, though it's not likely to be a bad one. Give yourself time to polish something and get it just right.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You're used to working with a formula of sorts, but this week that's not likely to see you through. You must be willing to experiment very freely. (June 7-June 20) -- Difficulties come to you through expected and unexpected channels this week, and you may be required to deal with them out of order as you attempt to please a superior.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You're doing yourself a disservice by sticking with something unsuitable just because you said you would. Go your own way this week. (July 8-July 22) -- Now is no time to engage in the kind of petty arguments that keep so many others busy this week. You must take the high road and teach others how to behave when the chips are down.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Why are you not asking for help when you need it? This week, the dangers you face are serious enough that you'll certainly want to solicit timely assistance. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- The social aspects of a certain endeavor will please you this week, even though you may feel, in the end, that you have not used all your time to the best advantage.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You can keep tabs on a loved one this week without seeming to hover or restrict his or her movements in any way. You can provide necessary security. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You're in no mood to do a certain thing that doesn't come easily, but the decision isn't likely to be yours. Someone else lays down the law for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may have to spend more time with a special friend this week in order to make things right. Remember, you two can talk about anything at any time. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You can expect to have to step in and do something that someone else is unable to do. You mustn't let this keep you from tending to your own business and meeting a deadline.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You will want to pay attention to the things you cannot foresee, which sounds like an impossibility, but when you try it, you'll see how it works. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Your focus is shifting at this time. A friend bides his or her time and makes you wait -- but for what? That's the question. You have reason to bend the rules a bit.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Keeping track of a certain someone isn't going to be easy this week, especially when circumstances separate you for a time. Keep your eyes peeled. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You must be willing to accept that certain developments are unstoppable this week. If you have the right attitude, you can surely go along for the ride; enjoy it!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- The most important things seem to sneak up on you this week. Try to put yourself in a position that allows you to see things coming. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You can afford to take care of yourself a little more than usual. Food, drink and plenty of rest can do you a world of good at this time. Don't try to hide.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You can teach someone quite a valuable trick of the trade that will serve him or her quite well -- and reflect well on you, certainly, all week long. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Teamwork is essential, even though you may insist on taking the lead. Recognizing that you cannot do it all is the first step toward generating a workable plan.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may have trouble keeping track of time this week, as events seem to overlap and your awareness is blurred by the sheer volume of activity. (March 6-March 20) -- You're ready to say that you're doing a certain thing for the last time, but a friend doesn't want this to be the end of the line. You must strike a workable compromise.
