The coming week is likely to see a great many individuals turning their focus inward for a time, as issues arise that demand a more immediate and comprehensive understanding of the kinds of currents and influences that affect one on the inside, so deeply perhaps that an individual may rarely if ever have explored what really goes on so far beneath the surface. This week, the difference between what one projects to the world at large and what is going on in the heart, mind and soul will be more apparent than usual.
How close one is to others will come to the fore this week, and one may have good reason to question whether proximity -- or lack thereof -- is really good for other individuals in question. The status quo must be challenged this week, and as far as relationships go, nothing can be taken for granted.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Certain issues are likely to resurface this week after a period in which they were hidden away -- perhaps unintentionally. You must deal with them now. (April 5-April 19) -- Giving someone exactly what they want isn't necessarily the way to do them a favor. Indeed, you may have to hold back in order to do them the best possible good this week.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Your beliefs are likely to be challenged this week, but the culprit may not be known for quite some time. You must navigate some rapid currents with care. (May 6-May 20) -- What you're waiting for is likely right around the next corner, but it will take you longer than usual to get there -- or to prepare yourself for what you'll soon have.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- The conflicting notions of good versus bad will test you in ways that you have not anticipated this week. Who can tell you what's what right now? (June 7-June 20) -- You ignore what comes your way this week at your own peril. Take in all around you. You'll be able to make the kinds of quick assessments that can put you ahead.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You have the sense that you've been here before, but it may be more than that -- and you must be willing to search some dark and scary corners for the truth. (July 8-July 22) -- Study what someone else does in moments of stress this week, and adjust your own behavior in accordance with what you see works best. You can't fight human nature!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You're in transition right now, and only certain things can be given your full attention. This week you must be willing to maximize moments of calm rationality. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You can profit from someone's mistakes or misfortunes this week -- but you're not necessarily going to like it. This may warrant a change in your way of thinking.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may be able to take things in a whole new direction this week without making so much as a ripple on the water. Such changes give you renewed enthusiasm. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You'll receive instructions early in the week that serve you well until you realize that what you're doing is, in the main, not for you. Things then get tricky!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You cannot expect to break the rules this week and have others merely overlook it. You can be sure that there are those who demand that you toe the line. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- What worked for you last week isn't likely to have the same overall impact this week, but you may be able to watch someone take what you did and run with it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- The unintended is almost certain to be more deeply felt than anything you mean to say or do, so you must guard against losing focus and lashing out needlessly. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- If you insist on doing it all on your own this week, then you'll have no one to share the blame with later on -- or the glory, either. It's all better with a friend.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You can get more done than expected this week, which will put you in a very good position in relation to the competition. You must soon conserve resources. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- How much can you afford to let up this week? Only you can answer that question, but hold off until you know exactly what is expected of you every step of the way.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You will have to dig deeper than usual this week to come up with answers to questions you've been trying to avoid. You simply mustn't hide from the truth! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- The more you put yourself out there at this time, the more you'll have to answer for when the time comes -- but it should be entirely worth it after this week's gains.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may be united with another this week under a single banner -- and though it takes you by surprise, you can surely make the most of this situation. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Tensions between you and a loved can subside this week -- but not on their own, and not without your solemn promise that you'll do what you can to avoid repeating certain mistakes.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Yes, it's that time again, but you may not be fully prepared to do what you know will be asked of you. Take time early in the week to review key lessons. (March 6-March 20) -- You may be heading directly into a crisis of sorts this week, but you can ease tensions simply by raising certain issues with another whose assistance you surely need.
