The coming week is likely to offer many individuals the opportunity to adjust their attitudes, rethink their strategies and come up with better tactics with which to approach all problems, whether routine or exceptional. This doesn't mean that success is guaranteed or that those problems will surely vanish for good, but it does mean that most will understand that the odds are in their favor and that adjustment now can yield measurable results later -- in some cases very soon.
It may be suggested by some that shortcuts should be taken or rules bent, but now is not the time for such questionable actions; those who play by the rules this week will benefit most -- provided they understand they are doing just that. Accidental or unconscious compliance isn't likely to pay off this week -- at least not as hoped or expected.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may benefit from taking a routine endeavor to a new and untried location or venue. This kind of novelty can give you quite a valuable boost this week. (April 5-April 18) -- Just when you think the right answers aren't coming your way, someone surprises you this week and gives you even more than you were asking for. Use them well.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- A more flexible approach will win you more than expected this week, and yet on certain issues, you'll surely want to remain firm and avoid any vacillation. (May 6-May 20) -- The stance you take at the outset will inform all that you do, and much that happens to you, this week. You can afford to be more accepting, even forgiving, at this time.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- It may be time for you to turn away from someone who is causing you no end of frustration -- even if it means suspending the relationship indefinitely. (June 7-June 20) -- What begins as a goal-oriented endeavor this week becomes one that is far more rewarding when you think of the journey itself and the stops you make along the way.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You'll find it difficult this week to establish and maintain a healthy attitude -- but is this because of something you can change? Explore all possibilities. (July 8-July 22) -- You're being asked to perform well above your pay grade perhaps, but that's nothing new to you -- and you're more than willing, as usual, to deliver the goods on time.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You'll want to avoid those little groups bound together by suspicion or prejudice. This week, you must adopt a more open view than most even know is possible. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- What you are after this week is likely to bring you much personal contentment -- but you'll also want to focus on those endeavors that benefit those around you as well.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- It may be time to pack up and get out of town -- at least temporarily. You're in need of something that your current situation may not be able to provide. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You'll benefit in unexpected ways this week by staying away from those who have very different ideals and principles. What you want you can provide yourself -- solo.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You'll have to schedule your activities with great care this week and take into consideration more than the usual external and internal forces. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- A slowdown may be feared, but it can prove a gift as it allows you the opportunity to reflect on where you've been and where you're going. This leads to a major discovery.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Looking back on a recent journey is likely to shed light on a situation that until this week proved almost indecipherable to you. Now answers come quickly. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Put things as simply as you possibly can this week and you'll be understood, and overcomplication is to be avoided -- especially when you find yourself under scrutiny.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may be growing tired of doing things in the same old familiar ways -- but more than that demands attention this week. What's really going on inside? (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may discover that it's the source of erroneous information that is truly at fault, and not your interpretation of it. It's up to you to provide correction.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- The more you do this week, the busier you will be -- and the more productive you will think you are. This may be deceptive, however. It's time to streamline. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You seek the truth and nothing but the truth this week, but it may be surprisingly difficult to track down the one person who can get you looking in the right direction.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- It's not up to you this week to solve everyone's problems, though you may think you can. Overconfidence can prove dangerous at this time. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You can score points this week with someone who is very difficult to impress -- but this doesn't mean, of course, that your relationship will be deeply affected. Expect no changes.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You can learn much by listening to others this week -- and you must resist the temptation to speak up before you really know what you are talking about. (March 6-March 20) -- You may only be in the beginning stages of a new and important phase, but you're feeling quite confident and you'll want to up the ante and pick up the pace, perhaps.
