The coming week is likely to see a great many individuals assessing and reassessing their own statuses and engaging in often unique programs of mental and physical nourishment in preparation for a "repeat performance" of some kind that promises to combine the best of before with much that is only dreamed of for the future. If this sounds far-fetched or unrealistic, then you are perhaps not ready to embrace the unusual and rare opportunities that are likely to arise this week.
The wise and efficient use of resources will be vastly important to all those who choose to "pay to play" this week; any kind of wasteful approach is sure to fall short -- and leave one unprepared for the next round of events that is sure to arrive next week or the week after. The mind is perhaps the single most important tool this week; how one thinks can make all the difference at this time.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You find yourself at a crossroads this week, and navigating a necessary change of direction can be tricky. Watch for clues to essential timing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You're not going to have much downtime this week, so you must be sure to pace yourself. Exhaustion can be more serious than you think; guard against it! (May 6-May 20) -- You may be stumped for a time by something that should be quite simple to comprehend. Perhaps you haven't done all your homework -- but there's surely time to catch up.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Don't be fooled into thinking anything requires an immediate response this week. You should have time to think carefully about all messages you receive. (June 7-June 20) -- You're used to taking advantage of opportunities that do not "announce" themselves -- but this week a good deal will come to you without even a moment's notice.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- How you interpret one single message early in the week will determine all of what happens after that -- and you must admit a mistake if you make one. (July 8-July 22) -- You're ready to prove yourself this week, and the chance to do so is likely to reveal itself at precisely the right moment. You won't be able to ask for extra time!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Any kind of rearrangement of your schedule is going to require some quick adjustments in all aspects of daily life. Your allies know what's expected of you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- As you look back and ahead of you simultaneously, you'll be reminded of how things were when you were young -- and the feeling is one you'll want to prolong. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You can do much to promote someone else's agenda this week, but take care you're not overlooking important aspects of your own that require full and immediate attention.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You're looking forward to rebuilding a relationship and recapturing a sense of what worked so well for you in the past. The future is yours to shape!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may not receive permission to do a certain thing that must be done this week -- but you'll certainly be forgiven for taking the initiative! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You'll have reason to thank someone who gave you a great deal in the past. Your week progresses according to a plan forged a long time ago -- but it has new resonance.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may be facing a daunting challenge this week, but now is the time to approach it with every weapon in your arsenal. Your overall strategy is sound. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- It's a good week to trust in the "better angels" of those around you as you wade into some troubling waters to deal with a problem that only you can solve.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You cannot afford a single moment of insincerity this week; play it straight at all times, and be ready to answer probing questions with disarming honesty. (March 6-March 20) -- That which was unlikely last week may actually come to pass now -- but how you tee up your own efforts will have an important impact. Don't leave others guessing!
