ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may not understand how the current schedule actually works in your favor -- but later in the week you'll realize you've been making it work all the same. (April 5-April 19) -- Questions of ability will arise again and again this week -- but you should find yourself sitting pretty when asked to do something that is squarely in your sweet spot.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You don't want to add any extra burden to your own -- or a partner's -- journey this week. Do what must be done, and when you can, take some time off! (May 6-May 20) -- Time can be your greatest ally this week, and you don't have to spend all of it rushing about everywhere. Indeed, slowing down can actually make it work for you all the more!

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may find yourself waiting for someone to deliver the goods this week before you can take full advantage of a situation that was only recently revealed. (June 7-June 20) -- You'll be the beneficiary this week of many other people's good intentions -- but will that be enough to keep you safe from harm? You must play an active role yourself!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You detect something in another's behavior that keeps you from doing what you had planned. As the weekend approaches, you'll learn just how wise this truly was! (July 8-July 22) -- If you must travel this week -- and it may be impossible to avoid -- you must take all precautions. Despite your confidence and good intentions, you are not infallible!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You'll see things in a new light this week -- but that isn't enough, necessarily, to make you rethink your motives or methods. More information is required. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- That which is obvious to you this week may not be at all clear to a friend or loved one. This is a good time to stay as close as possible and watch each other's backs!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You'll encounter something that challenges your belief system, but not to the extent that you'll consider another way of thinking. You'll weather this storm. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Even an expected opportunity may promise some rare rewards this week. You must take things as they come, and not be tempted to force any peripheral issues just yet.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- While others may feel that they must react to changing circumstances immediately, you may find this week that it's best to wait until you have more information. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Your perspective may be changing this week in a subtle way that, at first, escapes your notice. A friend raises issues that allow you to see things the way they are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may have gotten a little lazy in recent days -- or even weeks -- and now you're going to have to buckle down and get the work done. Eschew crutches! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Something you overlooked last week is likely to come to the fore before you know it this week -- and you'll be compelled to deal with it, perhaps in a brand-new way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You've always been adept at seeing through the fog to the landscape beyond -- but this week you may stumble as your view is obscured. This won't last long. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Find a time this week to work closely with a friend who knows how to get the best out of you. Use caution, however, and follow all applicable rules to avoid real danger.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You've been in denial about a central issue long enough; this week you will have no choice but to deal with it -- and that will change you in a few subtle ways. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Your agenda will take care of itself this week -- but you must be willing to jump in and help someone get things done. In the end, this can surely serve you well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You'll want to address things in a moment-to-moment fashion, which will allow you to avoid any sort of "gloss" or "whitewash" approach. Get your work done! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You'll enjoy a second chance of some sort this week, and it will prove important to you -- not only from a work perspective, but also as it pertains to personal growth.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Time will surely be on your side as the week opens, but if you abuse it, it will surely turn against you. You don't want to find yourself racing the clock! (March 6-March 20) -- You may be tempted to begin the week in a defensive position because of what happened to you only a few days ago -- but a positive, forward-thinking stance is best.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You'll thrive on creative endeavors this week, and they needn't lead to anything permanent. One by one, small accomplishments add up. (April 5-April 19) -- You'll want to stand up for yourself and others this week as you sense your rights are being threatened. It's a good week to make things official; why not put them in writing?

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You're eager to have a little more room to maneuver, and this week you can have it -- but you're going to have to pay a certain price. Can you afford it? (May 6-May 20) -- You're eager to get some answers about an event that has been shrouded in mystery. This week they come to you in bunches, and you'll have to juggle information carefully.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- What others do this week needn't affect you unless you want it to. You must make a decision about which way to go when pointed in two directions. (June 7-June 20) -- It's a good week for making yourself available to those who have been out of the loop for a while -- whether literally or figuratively. Information flows freely.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You can enjoy things vicariously this week when those around you engage in delights that you're not willing to join. When will you be able to cut loose? (July 8-July 22) -- An opportunity makes itself known to you at the last possible minute, and you'll be required to make a decision right away. This is par for the course this week!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You're eager to use the information that is available to you this week, but you'll have to be in exactly the right place at exactly the right time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Now is no time for guesswork; you'll want to have accurate information in order to make a good decision. The week progresses in fits and starts. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You can get a jump on the competition this week simply by taking advantage of circumstances as they are presented to you early on. Your methods are your own.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Your schedule may not give you a lot of room for reflection or unstructured thought this week -- but on one occasion at least you'll enjoy a key revelation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You're ready to commit to something that was perhaps a bit daunting to you only recently. What has changed? Confidence is on the rise, for one. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may have difficulties this week with someone who isn't abiding by the rules that you are both expected to follow. Use caution, however: The more you say, the worse it gets.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You're eager for a certain someone to say "yes" to a proposition offered some time ago -- but why? You may sense that time is running out. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You enjoy several opportunities this week to reflect on the current state of affairs -- and to determine just how much you are responsible for and what can be safely overlooked.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Someone may do something to you early in the week that warrants an apology, but you won't get one until you demonstrate a willingness to accept it. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You're full of yeses this week, and you're not likely to weather any noes that come your way. It's clear to most that you're not one to be influenced against your will.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You're willing to take on more responsibility this week, and you won't have to look far before you settle on something both necessary and satisfying. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You can broker an understanding between two conflicting parties this week -- but take care that being in the middle doesn't do you any lasting harm as emotions run high.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- A compromise is struck this week based on new information. Those who have been supporting you are likely to be more important to you this week than last. (March 6-March 20) -- A situation that demands a gentle touch may not be yours to control this week -- and that's just fine, because you are in no mood at all to sidestep an issue.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You'll recognize certain situations as they arise this week, and you'll be able to act fast in order to gain the advantage over a competitor. (April 5-April 19) -- You're tired of fighting the same battles over and over, and this week you can do something about that -- provided, of course, you aren't making a mistake of which you are unaware.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- It's time to put all misconceptions to rest about a situation that has challenged you for quite some time. You'll be on top once again this week. (May 6-May 20) -- The more you do for others this week, the more you'll be doing for yourself. What you may call "karma" is going to be in full effect throughout this complicated week.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may be delighted to find that something you were going to have to pay for is free of charge -- but only for a short time. Things turn a corner this week! (June 7-June 20) -- You can do a great deal in support of someone close to you this week -- and your efforts will yield a surprising reward as the week comes to a close. Celebrate!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Your own individual efforts may have to take a back seat this week to those things you do with others. Teamwork wins you intangible results.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You know what's going on because you're at the center of it all this week -- but you'll still want to get another's take on what it all means, surely. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You're likely to be reminded this week of a few familiar lessons. Once they're firmly planted in your mind again, you can focus on those who need to learn the same things.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may fear that someone in charge will not appreciate your efforts this week -- or the fact that you're taking the initiative. This is not the case! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may begin the week fearing that you do not meet certain requirements, but you're good to go. This doesn't mean you needn't prepare -- mentally and emotionally.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may be planning something that relies on shock value for its effectiveness, but this week, that kind of thing isn't really appropriate. Rethink this! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You're trying to do something that's never been done -- at least not under your watch. Take care that you don't endanger others as you challenge yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Your mind may be turning to personal pleasures at this time -- and there's certainly room for a little romance in your life right now. You can really shine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- What you think will take the entire week, or even longer, is likely to be completed early. You know exactly what you must do with the extra time. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You have a decision to make this week, and while others may grapple with implications, you'll find the central issue uncomplicated. Once made, the decision propels you forward.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may have to go over old ground one more time this week to make sure that work issues are resolved -- but there's also a personal component to address. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- The familiar may not provide the comfort or confidence you expected this week, as you're likely facing certain issues that put you under a new kind of pressure.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Give yourself a break as the week opens, and acknowledge that there's only so much you can do on your own. If you do that, you will have scored a victory. (March 6-March 20) -- You may find others working in a manner that suits neither your intentions nor your personal style. This is a good reason to go it alone this week -- if you can.
