(April 5-April 19) -- You may think you're running out of "good" ideas, but this week you can bring one back to life that you thought had run its course -- and the results may surprise you!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- What proves difficult to others is likely to be quite easy for you this week -- and vice versa. You're following a path that no one has yet taken. (May 6-May 20) -- You can devise a plan this week that benefits those around you almost as much as it does yourself -- but you must take care that you're not biting off more than you can chew.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- It's going to take more than speed to get you across the finish line this week; you're going to have to make certain adjustments to suit others on your team. (June 7-June 20) -- What you see when you look in the mirror this week may surprise you, but it will give you a very good idea of what others see -- and tell you how you may combat a challenge.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Honest self-assessment can put you ahead of the pack this week, but take care that you're not merely going through the motions or putting on a show.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- There's no reason to spread animosity or vitriol this week -- and nothing good can result from doing so either. Adopt an accepting, forgiving attitude.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You're not alone, no matter what you may be thinking or feeling. Get in touch with someone who has been by your side during tough times. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- As the saying goes, you are either part of the solution or part of the problem -- and by doing nothing, you'll almost certainly join the ranks of the latter this week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may have trouble seeing, or at least acknowledging, what is plain to so many others this week. Try to broaden your view; let experience speak to you!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You are less interested in the big picture this week than you are in exploring the little things that can make such big differences to you and others. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You're eager to come to some kind of understanding with someone who has been on the other side of the ideological fence for some time. Neither of you is wrong.

(May 6-May 20) -- You should be able to demonstrate to others just how significant and impactful your actions can be -- when well-timed and well-executed. A top performance is a winner.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may have more to do this week than you had anticipated, but when help comes calling, you'll certainly have some tasks to delegate. You can get it all done. (June 7-June 20) -- You'll have to decide very quickly this week which road you prefer to go down when faced with a choice you weren't expecting. Your decision will affect others as well.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Give someone a little more of what you yourself enjoy this week, and you can make a questionable situation far more positive and rewarding.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Your plans will move forward in a manner that allows you to make adjustments as you go -- which is essential given current circumstances. Don't get stuck!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- There's no need to look backward this week, as all that you must focus on lies ahead. You've gathered what you need from the past, and it serves you well. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may be wondering what's next, but by the time you decide to commit one way or the other, you'll find that you're in the thick of something you can't readily resolve.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Your ability to see what's what and to determine the value of that which lands in your lap will certainly serve you well this week. You give a friend a boost. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may overhear something quite by accident as the week opens that stays with you for the next several days. Look inside yourself to determine why this is.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You mustn't let that which you cannot control exert undue control over you. Turn to those activities that give you a sense of purpose and accomplishment. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Time may not be on your side as the week opens, but if you do all you can to get ahead of the game, you'll find that later on you'll have a more leisurely time of it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You want to know how someone has been able to do what they've recently done -- but you don't want to intrude. Observation from afar can yield information. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- By shadowing someone this week, you can learn a lot about what has to be done -- and how to do it. You may want to suggest a collaboration -- but make no assumptions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may have to dedicate yourself to two very important tasks this week, and though they are not directly related, one will surely inform the other.
