The coming week is likely to see a great many people turning seeming hindrances into strengths and transforming difficult situations into those which warrant celebration when all is said and done. This kind of alchemy can happen in any place and at any time this week and can be performed by anybody, too -- provided one's attitude remains positive, one's approach is forward-thinking and one's aim remains always altruistic. For this week, thinking and doing for others will benefit the self as well.
There is a threat that outside forces may come between those who have established a new rapport -- or who have reestablished one that was strong in the past. But this threat can be met successfully head-on by anyone who understands that there is strength in numbers.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You'll recognize an approaching opportunity this week just in time to make the most out of it right now. You don't want to wait for any "future" benefits. (April 5-April 19) -- You mustn't let impatience keep you from absorbing all there is to know this week; you must take the time to study what is before you in order to understand it fully.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Whether they be large or small, vast or infinitesimal, the changes you make this week can all have a profound impact -- if your intentions are genuine. (May 6-May 20) -- As you move from one task to the next, you may have to ask yourself this week what it's all for. Are you truly getting what you need out of the jobs you're doing?
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- The timing of certain events is likely "locked in" this week, as will be your reactions to them. What you do must be organized; you can't just wing it! (June 7-June 20) -- Your eagerness to please will serve you well this week, unless you find yourself in a situation that allows someone to take advantage of your generosity. Avoid this!
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- It's essential that you economize this week, and this means more than simply guarding against overspending. It's not expenses but efficiency that matters! (July 8-July 22) -- You may be tempted to throw everything you've got at an opportunity that is hardly practical -- or even guaranteed. Use caution, and trust your instincts this week.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may have much to celebrate as the week draws to a close, but don't be premature! You must, by all means, see things realistically as you proceed cautiously. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You are waiting to hear from someone whose actions will inform your own. You won't have a clear timeline to follow unless you create one for yourself early in the week.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may find it much easier than usual this week to jump from one thing to the next, enjoying freedom from routine that is itself anything but routine! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You have more options available to you than you recognize, and as the week progresses, you'll be forced to see things through a lens that reveals some surprising truths.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Someone who claims to be working for you is really not doing you any favors, and this week you're going to have to take steps to limit your interaction -- for now. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You can expect to be interrupted on several occasions this week, but you are able to get back on track quickly each time. An unseen ally may be watching over you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- What you've imagined in the past begins to take shape this week -- and you can expect to be surprised by the form it finally takes when your turn comes. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may not understand a message received early in the week, but clearly it will affect much that you do as you take certain steps that you might normally avoid taking.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may have to expose yourself to certain dangers this week in order to protect those in your care from others that are even worse. You can prevail! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- The more hung up on another's motives you become this week, the less you will be focusing on your own -- and they are the only ones that really matter to you right now.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may want to take certain precautions this week that actually make you vulnerable to other, unrelated dangers. You can implement a more daring plan. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You'll discover much this week that is revelatory in nature, but you must guard against seeing things through rose-colored glasses. Maintain a realistic outlook.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You can make things mean more to you and yours this week than at any time in the recent past. The bonds that tie you to others are clearly not to be broken! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may find yourself exploring some new territory this week, but what is most surprising is that it's not very far from home. A new opportunity surprises you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You'll reach a crossroads this week, and if you have the time to consider your options, you can make the most of where you stand. Don't let anyone rush you! (March 6-March 20) -- The transition you are considering may actually take much more out of you than you think. Be ready to release some emotional baggage before finally moving forward.
