The coming week is likely to see many individuals looking back on past adventures and accomplishments with bittersweet affection, as they yearn for the kinds of feelings that such experiences granted while at the same time acknowledging that such "good times" were not always that good and cannot, even were one to try hard to make it so, be recaptured and relived.
Some may be struck this week by the seeming injustice of being called to task for that which is not their doing -- nor was it ever! Now is the time to accept the fact that the wheels are turning and the pendulum is swinging -- and it may swing too far for some people's taste, but almost by definition that is a temporary state of affairs. A willingness to work together is essential this week, no matter who is actually in the spotlight.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You've made considerable progress recently, but this week your personal gains may not match your yearnings or your efforts. An adjustment is needed. (April 5-April 19) -- You can learn many valuable lessons this week, but when it comes to what you know best, you'll remain confident that no one is likely to challenge your mastery.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You are more than willing to do what is required of you today, but take care that you don't forget what it is you're really after -- or why you're after it! (May 6-May 20) -- You must guard against throwing good money after bad this week. What you learn about certain products and services has you reconfiguring your expectations at this time.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Those who are most able will be most rewarded this week -- and that can certainly be you, provided you don't let anyone put a dent in your armor. (June 7-June 20) -- You must not mistake quantity for quality this week; go after what you want, but be sure you're not settling for less than that which will do you the most good.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- What you do with a good friend will be more important to you this week than what you do alone -- even though solo activities may offer more tangible rewards. (July 8-July 22) -- The message you are waiting for will likely arrive this week -- but not in the form that you expect. Nor is the source going to be wholly reliable. You must investigate!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- The trial run that you had planned for this week may not be able to happen, but if you interpret the reasons properly, you'll be saved from a major setback. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- The challenges you face this week are far more personal than you might at first think, but when things get really tough, a friend's involvement makes things much easier.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may have a great deal of energy this week but little enthusiasm -- at least to begin with. This imbalance can be rectified later in the week. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Domestic affairs will not wait, so you must be willing to drop what you are doing to deal with a pressing situation at home. Not everyone agrees with your approach.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You can make a mess and clean it up quite nicely this week -- and the entire process is likely to prepare you for what lies ahead. A new opportunity beckons. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may be quite surprised to learn that something you've taken for granted all these years is not at all true. You'll have time to adjust your thinking all week long.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- The time has come for you to acknowledge someone's expertise, and to hand over control of a certain endeavor in order to ensure your team's success. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- The way things are going all over has you reconsidering a major personal goal. Are you really willing to give up so much just because you don't "fit in"? Think twice!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You're not likely to get things done in the usual way this week; you must be willing to experiment freely to discover what methods work best right now. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You're not likely to follow instructions to the letter this week, but you'll get enough right to be able to satisfy overall requirements when completing assignments.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You can confirm your suspicions about a past endeavor by checking any written or pictorial records you may have kept. Was it a success? (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You'll hit your stride rather early this week, and you may find that you have time for a personal, even secret endeavor later on. Know that you may attract attention.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Past experience may not be enough to see you through developments that are both unexpected and challenging. Some hands-on, practical training is required. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may have to answer another's demands this week by doing that which falls well outside your comfort zone. There is an emotional component that adds to your uncertainty.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You know many who this week will "come into their own," and you're wondering when it'll be your turn. Opportunity knocks this week -- and you must be ready! (March 6-March 20) -- You may be unable to express yourself as freely as you would wish, but you can certainly send the proper message to one who most needs to hear it -- before the weekend.
