ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You'll be able to do something this week that highlights your connection to a time gone by. Take care, however, that you don't get lost in your memories. (April 5-April 19) -- Stories shared this week with friends or loved ones will prove inspiring to you in many ways. You may find yourself off on a new adventure before the week is out.

TAURUS (April 2-May 5) -- You must be sure to keep your wits about you this week, as there are many dangers to be avoided and some awkward situations to be navigated as well. (May 6-May 20) -- The easier you can make things look this week, the better. You will find yourself leading others through difficult territory, perhaps, and you must inspire confidence in all.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- A game may go wrong this week, perhaps, leaving you with no one to play with and no gains to speak of -- for now. You learn some valuable lessons! (June 7-June 20) -- It's a good time to pay attention to what those around you are doing, especially when their methods differ from your own. You can benefit from trying something new.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Getting things done one right after the other seems like a good plan, but it may be more difficult to follow than to devise. You face many obstacles. (July 8-July 22) -- Someone's rather harsh response to you takes you very much by surprise, and you'll find yourself off balance throughout much of the week because of this odd exchange.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You're going to want to collect as much updated information as you can this week -- and it's going to take some time. Don't be in a rush to get the answers. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You have many options to consider this week as you begin to move from one outdated phase to one that is new, exciting and ripe with potential. This can be a very good week!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You can capitalize this week on last week's mistakes, provided you are forward-thinking and don't get trapped in a pattern of old, habitual behavior. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Pay attention to the order of things this week, as that will tell you a lot about what's possible when it's your turn to take action. Arrange priorities now!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may have thought that the week would require a good deal of heavy lifting, but not so. Instead, you'll take care of the little things one at a time. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may be judged harshly as the week opens, but later on you'll earn someone's trust, and your reputation will be greatly enhanced. There is much to learn this week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- The more you try to do this week, the more you'll find yourself in the midst of affairs that will shape your immediate future. How much of that can you take?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Take time out this week to stop what you are doing and look around at all that you are a part of. You'll realize just how much you contribute. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- A message from afar gives you a boost as the week opens -- unless, of course, this is something you are merely interpreting a certain way to suit your current needs.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- That which was uncertain only a few days ago will be much more solidly defined this week. You'll be able to send others in the right direction, surely.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- A dark situation is brightened this week -- but you may not know exactly how it happened or who is responsible. You can surely take advantage of it, however!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- It's a good week to make a habit of telling people how much they mean to you -- and why, though this last bit will be more difficult to define, surely. (March 6-March 20) -- You may be tempted to hunker down at home and avoid interacting with the outside world, but something happens midweek that draws you out, albeit perhaps reluctantly.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may be torn this week between a desire to get out and about and work toward a result that will benefit many, and the need to address family issues. (April 5-April 19) -- What you do this week will alert others to what you are planning. This is a good time to experiment with methods and tinker with your deeper motives.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Success cannot be measured this week in large increments, as you'll be most effective in small ways -- some of which may not even be noticed by most people.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- It's a good week to send out feelers to see what's possible. Someone you do not yet know is likely to come up with an idea that you can put into motion. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Past patterns of spending are going to have to change this week if you are going to keep your head above water. A reversal of fortune can be itself reversed very soon.

(Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Open and honest talk is a noble goal, but this week you may run the risk of saying too much too soon. Still, you cannot ignore the problems others are revealing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Your awareness of space will be quite important throughout the week. Where you assign your most valuable resources will be a recurring challenge.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Where once so much happened in person, you must resign yourself to getting things done in something of a "vacuum" this week -- but keep communication open.

(Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Even as you face more than one highly charged issue this week, you must avoid wearing your heart on your sleeve. A display of intellectual strength proves effective.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You'll be able to bring a great many together this week in the name of a single cause. The trick will be to make none of this seem too personal. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Though you mean well, the fact is that you may not be doing enough in support of a cause you've recently embraced. It's time to do more, perhaps, than you've ever done.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You've been relying on an old plan to see you through lately, but this week it's not going to be effective enough. It's time to come up with something new. (March 6-March 20) -- You'll learn a great deal during the first part of the week that you can begin to apply to great effect during the second half. Prioritize and stick to a schedule.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You'll be expected to commit to something when the time comes, so you must spend the first part of the week preparing yourself for what lies ahead. (May 6-May 20) -- Not everyone is willing to follow you this week without asking questions, so you must be ready to answer those who choose to give you the third degree before starting out.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Take care of yourself this week, just as you are taking care of another. It may be much easier than usual to neglect yourself and expose yourself to harm. (June 7-June 20) -- A memory comes into sharp focus as the week opens, and you'll be tempted to take a journey into the past as a result. This is not advised! You have too much going on!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may realize, much to your surprise, that someone thinks that you've been telling lies. You'll spend the week proving that this is far from true. (July 8-July 22) -- Pay attention to rumblings that tell you something is happening beneath the surface this week that may prove to be a game changer when it comes to the fore sometime very soon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- The genuine is far preferable this week to anything artificial, and you may not be able to tell one from the other without looking very closely. Use care! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You'll receive news from afar, personally or electronically, that has you reacting in a way that surprises even you. You'll have time this week to take proper action.

(Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You have good reason for turning away from a certain group of people this week, but still your gut tells you to stay close -- at least for now. Don't tip your hand.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- There are a few ladders for you to climb this week before you find yourself in the position you think you deserve. Give and accept help whenever possible. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- It's a good week to spend some time in and around the home, beautifying your immediate surroundings. Someone's unusual taste may start to rub off on you!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You'll have to wait longer than usual this week to take your turn -- though the time spent waiting can surely be used in a positive fashion. Be creative. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You can combine work and relaxation this week in a way that makes you the envy of all those around you. Many want to know the secret to your healthy work/play balance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- A wolf in sheep's clothing can be avoided this week by doing precisely what you are supposed to do and keeping improvisation to a minimum.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may be drawn toward someone who does things in a very different, even unorthodox way. Some method you'll want to adopt, surely -- but not all. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Take time out whenever you can this week to get something extra done, and you'll be thankful for it by the weekend. You may have big plans taking shape very quickly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may misinterpret messages early in the week, but even if you fall behind as a result, you'll surely be able to catch up when you realize your mistake. (March 6-March 20) -- You have much to offer this week from which others can benefit, but you mustn't make the mistake of giving away something for nothing. Be sure to ask a fair market price!
