The coming week is likely to offer several different kinds of boosts to those who are seemingly unable to make headway right now as a result of discontent, discouragement or a sense of disenfranchisement -- whether or not these feelings are genuine or accurate. Indeed, the help one gets is almost certainly to come from within, though most will credit outside forces for the good that comes of it -- but some will realize that they are actually helping themselves at a time when doing so can really bring about a valuable turnaround in potential and accomplishment.
There may not seem to be a constant, uninterrupted flow to the week, and it may be difficult for some to build a good head of steam and trust that momentum will do its job and see them through.
SCOPRIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may not be able to make progress this week without stumbling once or twice -- and several of the obstacles you tackle are likely to be self-made. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- It's time to set things straight with someone whose version of past events is very different from your own. You know what really happened -- because you were there!
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You are ready to move forward at a faster pace than usual this week, but certain circumstances may require you to wait longer for your turn than expected. (April 5-April 19) -- You can counter someone's efforts against you this week quite well, but success will depend more on ability and dedication. Timing is once more a central issue.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You should have little trouble getting things done as planned this week, but you may choose to set something aside in order to assist someone in need. (May 6-May 20) -- You'll feel a strong and almost irresistible pull in a certain direction this week, and you won't know quite what you'll find if you give in until you do just that.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Pay attention to the signs that are all around you this week. You may need some kind of help to interpret or "translate" some of them before taking action. (June 7-June 20) -- The more you shower someone with attention this week, the more productivity you'll likely get in return. This is a dynamic that is still evolving, so try to be patient!
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You're likely to emerge from a rather stormy time this week, but progress may still be slow. You can make great headway by focusing on inner processes. (July 8-July 22) -- You may be set off this week by the smallest irritations, and you must be sure that you don't get in anyone's way as you indulge in your resulting "pity party."
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- The more dramatic the situation, the more laid back you'll want to be this week. You don't want to add fuel to any of the fires started by those around you. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You can afford to be a little more flexible this week, especially when dealing with others who don't fully understand how their behavior affects you -- even indirectly.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You'll be required to do more than decipher the messages that come your way this week; you must absorb what they offer very quickly; be ready to respond. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may be frustrated by your first few attempts at something new this week, but if you stay in the game you'll find that proficiency can be achieved very quickly.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may be faced with several new opportunities this week and not even know it -- until a friend opens your eyes to what is right in front of you. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- It's time for you to put behind you one or two errors from the past that have for far too long informed your decision-making process. What lies ahead takes priority over all else.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may have to participate in some careful negotiations this week in order to come up with a plan that suits everyone's needs at this time. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Take it slow, and consider what another has to offer when you are on the brink of a major decision. You don't want to commit to anything that limits your options.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You'll find yourself engaged in an "unofficial" contest that could determine, in the days to come, who is calling the shots. This is a fight worth having! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You'll surely want to keep certain secrets under wraps this week, at least for a little while longer. You can drop hints to what is coming, but you mustn't be explicit.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You will learn the value of seeing things in complete detail this week, as you are faced with a situation that demands an awareness of all components. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You mustn't let another's stubbornness endanger your own attempts at doing something that will garner you a great deal of praise. Say what you have to say this week.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may feel as though you are slipping backward somehow, and an issue you thought was behind you likely requires renewed attention this week. (March 6-March 20) -- You're not going to get what you want this week if you are unable to ask for it directly. At this time, any kind of uncertainty or vacillation can result only in disappointment.
