The coming week is likely to require of most individuals a willingness to jump into situations with abandon even when there is a fear of certain dangers, for the rewards of throwing caution to the wind are, at this time, far greater than the risk of lasting harm as a result of the dangers encountered. This may seem to some to be nothing more than carelessness born of optimism, but the fact is that those who choose to dive right in will likely be rewarded.
Many may find that a far greater toll than expected has been exacted by circumstances over the past days, weeks or months, and that the price paid for "getting by" has been higher in ways than anyone could have foreseen. It's a good time to redefine what is "normal."
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You have more going for you at this time than you know, and as the week progresses, you're likely to learn just how you've gotten where you are. (April 5-April 19) -- You must allow your friends to play the right roles in your affairs this week. You cannot progress without the right help, and your helpers know just what you need most.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You strike a deal with someone who has been on the other side of the fence for quite a while. You have more in common than either of you can recognize. (May 6-May 20) -- You can resume activities this week that will give you confidence and allow you to pay your own way in the days and weeks to come. You cannot depend on others much longer!
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You've been grappling with conflicting ideas long enough, and it's time now for you to choose which side you're on -- before any doors are shut to you. (June 7-June 20) -- You are eager to explore the plans you've recently come up with, but you must be willing to share more than usual if you're going to assemble a really good team.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may have to dodge this way and that all week long in order to avoid deception large or small. You want to be dealing only with the truth at this time. (July 8-July 22) -- Your ability to understand another's methods and motives will serve you well this week. Don't make the mistake of thinking your way is the only way, however.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You are committed to excellence, but you may find it difficult to inspire others to follow suit. What you do on your own this week may well be long remembered. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- It's a good time to reestablish a routine that allows you to get things done according to a reasonable and sustainable schedule. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- The less you strive this week, the less you will have to count up when the time comes. You must be willing to do more than others if you want to have more. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- The guidance you've expected may not materialize, and you'll therefore have to trust your own instincts as you make and stick to a plan of action. Do what you do best!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You're eager to shake things up a bit in order to see just how the dust will settle. Nothing happens this week that you can't interpret in a positive way. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Your qualifications may come under some suspicion this week, but you'll be able to demonstrate your suitability for the job or jobs that you have taken on.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Your attention this week must turn to things that lie ahead; the more you look to the rear, the more likely you'll be to run headlong into some serious trouble. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may not feel fully prepared for what you are asked to do this week, but that shouldn't stop you from turning in a fine performance -- if you simply let go!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You'll be inspired by someone's past performance, but can you really do all that with your limited resources? You must take an uncommon route. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You and a friend can hammer out an important agreement this week that allows you to accomplish much individually without stepping on each other's toes.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Instruction comes to you in fits and starts this week, and you cannot count on having up-to-date information at every turn. You must wing it sometimes. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- It's time to make plans now that you and others can really stick with in the near future. You don't want to be making things up as you go along! Keep your eyes open.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You're eager to try something new this week, despite the warnings you've received telling you that hidden dangers are everywhere. You won't be dissuaded! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You can do much that will be remembered this week -- and not always for the reasons you may have expected. The more you bend the rules, the more you are able to accomplish.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You're not the only one who thinks that the time has come to put habitual fears behind you for good. A friend or partner is right there with you! (March 6-March 20) -- You are facing something that others have been unable to overcome, but this week the odds are in your favor -- and your unique way of seeing things gives you confidence.
