The coming week is likely to present challenges that may prove insurmountable to some -- but only because those individuals are unable to let go of previously held beliefs and adopt a new way of thinking about what is happening right now and what will likely happen next. Perspective is everything this week! The ability to accept that things have changed, that responsibilities have multiplied, and that a job well done will look very different from now on than it has in the past will prove essential at this time.
Environmental influences are likely to be stronger this week than they have been in the recent past, and adjustments will have to be made -- most of which will be logistical. Indeed, the "where" and the "when" may prove, for some, the biggest stumbling blocks.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- The goals you've set for yourself can remain firmly in place this week, despite the surprises you will encounter. Others follow your lead. (April 5-April 19) -- It may be time for you to lay down the law for someone who hasn't been pulling his or her weight. There must be something you can come up with to motivate and inspire!
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You'll learn a valuable lesson this week even as you teach another one that is just as valuable. Together, you'll be equipped to deal with a crisis. (May 6-May 20) -- Even your critics are likely to be on your side this week as you move forward according to plan. What you do will serve as a model for those who are equally ambitious.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You and a teammate will likely be putting your heads together many times this week in order to come up with lasting solutions to everyone else's problems. (June 7-June 20) -- Someone assumes a position you have long coveted -- but does this mean you're finished? Hardly! This week, you can mount a challenge that takes you very far.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You've been harboring some unconscious concerns of late, and this week is the perfect time to lift them into your conscious mind. Work them out! (July 8-July 22) -- You may not be able to cater to your own needs this week until you have helped another satisfy his -- or hers. You mustn't let this result in a potentially damaging rivalry.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Once you make a plan, you must determine if it is ready to be made public. A premature announcement of any kind can result in a serious setback. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may want someone to keep an eye on you this week so you don't inadvertently jump the tracks and endanger yourself and those who are on this journey with you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may bristle when someone first suggests that you get help -- but soon you'll realize help is exactly what you need. A project takes off this week! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You're likely to be on the receiving end of jokes and pranks this week, and you'll determine that being a good sport is more important than striking back in any way.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Changing circumstances have you more excited about your own potential than you've been in a while. It's a good week to try something new. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You'll want to familiarize yourself with all kinds of things that might -- or might not -- materialize. You must be ready for all possibilities and likelihoods this week.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may prefer dreamland to the real world -- and who doesn't? -- but this week you are best to deal only in what you know to be true. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- The plans you make this week can bring you together with those who have been absent from your inner circle for too long. Timing is important, but you can manipulate it some.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You'll want to keep track of progress with care this week; keeping sight of your goal while moving past a significant obstacle can prove tricky. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Someone who plays a significant role in your affairs may not be holding up his or her end of a bargain. This week you can address this situation in a way that avoids conflict.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You'll be more capable this week than last, in part because you've decided not to give too much thought to the likelihood of error. Be strong and confident! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You'll be working hard all week long to achieve goals that others think you won't be able to reach. You're likely to have the last laugh -- but perhaps at the last minute.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 4) -- You may have more difficulty than expected this week organizing a group effort. Are you losing your touch? Not at all! Circumstances are difficult. (Feb. 5-Feb. 18) -- You'll very likely receive the recognition you seek this week, but not for the reason you foresaw. Changes occur at this time that have you wondering what might be next!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You're eager to do things the right way this week, but certain restrictions may make that impossible. What you come up with will surprise many! (March 5-March 20) -- This is a good week to indulge in some personal reflection. Are you fully equipped to handle what is expected of you? Be realistic at all times; don't overextend.
