The coming week is likely to unfold rather like a flower, petal by petal, until its full scope is finally revealed to those patient enough to be there when its inner truth is ultimately revealed. This means that events will build, one by one, each upon the last, while the anticipation of both participants and onlookers similarly builds until at last the week will be seen and experienced as a complete unit and not simply a collection of disparate components.
While a lot is going on in the world, much will be going on internally as well, and individuals and family units are likely to undergo change at this time -- but not necessarily the kind that is intentionally conceived. Indeed, the most important transitions this week will be those that are entirely unexpected.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- While others around you see their plans go up in smoke this week, you're able to bring yours to fruition -- or at least begin to benefit in measurable ways. (April 5-April 19) -- You must trust others to do what is necessary this week so that you can perform the duties you have been assigned. You're part of a well-oiled machine.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- A rival has likely demonstrated what is possible under certain circumstances, but you'll surely be able to take those things even further this week. (May 6-May 20) -- It's not going to matter how long you can do a thing, so long as you do it well and with the proper technique and dedication. The rewards will last longer than the activity.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- What you find out about someone this week informs much of what you do for yourself -- for you realize that there is a connection you cannot deny. (June 7-June 20) -- While others may be waiting for you to drop out of the race, you're gearing up for one final push that can surely put you over the top. This can be a special victory.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You're not going to be able to make adjustments to your plans come showtime, so during the first part of the week, you must be sure to tie up loose ends. (July 8-July 22) -- You may find yourself on the spot this week, but your ability to improvise serves you well as you free yourself from the kinds of expectations that do you no good.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- The lessons you learn today are likely both expected and unexpected, but it's the unexpected ones that can make the big picture before you really make sense. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- While your experiences this week will be unique, you can still share your thoughts and feelings about them with others who are looking to you for a kind of guidance.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You can put to good use today some things you learned quite some time ago that have been maturing in your mind ever since. You'll feel very different. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- The things you know will be all the more important to you this week because of the unusual things you have to do -- especially when it comes to family matters.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Now is no time to sell yourself short. Indeed, while overconfidence can sometimes be a liability, this week it is surely better than the alternative. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Don't spend time this week trying to get others to see things the way you do, as that is very likely impossible and fruitless. You'll have a story to tell, surely.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You will gain a great deal of valuable perspective this week hanging out with someone who sees and does things very differently. Be open to all options. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may not be dealing in hard-and-fast realities this week, but rather in notions that have been spawned by your imagination and one or two unusual desires.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may have to provide yourself with the answers to questions you ask this week, as no one around you understands what you're really after. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may be surprised by the position you find yourself in toward midweek. Though something doesn't seem to add up, a sudden realization has you filling in the missing pieces.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- This is a good week to try something new, and whether you stick with it doesn't really matter -- so long as you commit fully at the time. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- The view that is afforded you from a safe distance may actually deprive you of much that can keep you safe in the long term. Get in there and claim what is really yours.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You'll find yourself juggling all manner of facts and figures this week, but to what end? This is not something you can figure out with your hands full. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- What you do in an emergency this week may be a valuable activity to engage in on a regular basis -- but only you can decide just how, and how much, it matters to you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Your ability to navigate the unexpected, and to make it work for you in ways that you probably couldn't have planned, will likely be at play all week. (March 6-March 20) -- Take care that you don't get caught up in arguments over what "normal" means -- for you and others will surely disagree on this, as you have different experiences.
