The coming week is likely to offer many individuals a chance to experiment with a whole new line of endeavor conceived to bring greater light and enjoyment into daily affairs -- but these opportunities aren't going to be easy to identify! They are sure to be disguised, even buried, among other weekly business that is far less enjoyable, seeming almost to challenge one to discover what lies directly in front of one's face. Readiness doesn't just involve the correct mindset, but also the ability and wherewithal to do what is necessary.
Yes, indeed: Readiness is all! And this is true, too, when it comes to relationships, for many will find themselves at a crossroads of sorts. But readiness can keep conflict at bay.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You are making things more difficult than they have to be by not looking squarely at the way things are. Recognize that, and you're soon on your way. (April 5-April 19) -- What seems to some to be a "happy ending" is actually far more challenging to you than they know. You are able, however, to rise to the occasion and square things away.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You're going to have to mix things up some this week in order to have them come out to your liking. You can't expect to get what you want right away! (May 6-May 20) -- A mystery is solved this week, and you get what you've been yearning for -- though is it enough? You may have more questions that only someone not in your circle can answer.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You'll want to take things one at a time this week to be sure that you give everything the attention it deserves -- but are you neglecting a companion? (June 7-June 20) -- The fragments of a story come your way that allow you to assess a past event in such a way that your work takes on a new importance and becomes far more effective.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Quality control will prove a major issue this week, though you mustn't think that you're the only one affected. Others will join you in your efforts. (July 8-July 22) -- It's time for you to give yourself over to the plans another has been making. You've been resistant too long, and this week the nature of things will favor your involvement.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You know what needs to be done, and you know why, but you're not yet quite sure how to do it. This week, you'll learn a few important and practical lessons. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Keep an eye on the clock, especially during the first few days of the week when you are getting your bearings and picking up speed. The weekend brings a chance for change.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You've been getting some of the simplest things confused as of late, and it's all because you've let someone knock you off your plate. Regain balance this week. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- An answer to a question comes to you very quickly, and if it happens early in the week, you'll be in the catbird seat for the duration. Let things happen as they will.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Your desires are getting mixed up with your more immediate needs, and you should be able to reconcile them both this week. A certain someone is left out. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You cannot be as definite and unequivocal as you would like to be this week, as you haven't yet received all the information you need to be truly certain. It'll come.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Doing as much as you desire this week may not be enough; you also must complete what is required of you -- and do that in a timely fashion that pleases the boss. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You will surely be able to find time for yourself this week, but much of each day will be spent doing for others what they cannot do for themselves. Ah, generosity!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may find yourself in something of a mood as the week opens, but this gives you the energy you need to finally accomplish something long overdue. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Process, not product, is most important this week -- though in order for the process to mean anything at all you must have a workable product squarely in mind at all times.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may wonder at someone's seemingly endless supply of energy and inspiration this week -- but your turn will come. Take heed of all opportunities. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You can score an impressive come-from-behind victory this week, but don't expect everyone to notice. Indeed, much of what you do may have to be done behind closed doors.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- "Seeming" and "being" are very different, and that will become clear to you this week as you work out a situation that was self-made. Avoid appearances. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You're likely to answer the very question that others are asking this week, but more important than that will be the question that you ask once you have done so.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may be prompted to go "off script" this week as you attempt to overcome a challenge mounted by someone who knows where your weaknesses really lie. (March 6-March 20) -- Pay attention to what is going on this week just outside your sphere of influence. Those comings and goings are going to affect you at this time far more than they usually do.
