The coming week is likely to favor any and all individuals who, for whatever reason, are riding a wave of enthusiasm and inspiration that can lead to far greater personal accomplishment than usual -- and, very likely, far more teamwork, too, in those situations that require it. It may seem to some that this "wave" simply carries them along, safely past all manner of hazards and obstacles, to serve them up on the shore of some new and possibly quite important achievement.
Emotional currents may take some unexpected -- and, in some cases, unwanted -- side trips this week. This is especially true for those who may unintentionally be overlooking the needs of family or friends because their work is so all-consuming. In such cases, there is an emotional toll to be paid, and that'll be tantamount to a penalty of sorts -- but not a permanent one.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You'll want to keep accurate records of where you go and what you do. Pay attention to the little things that seem to affect you more than they should. (April 5-April 19) -- You have very good reason this week to do things exactly as they have been laid out for you -- but in at least one instance, doing it your own way can pay off.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You will want to look twice at anything that seems too good to be true, as it very likely is just that -- but that may not be the case after some adjustment. (May 6-May 20) -- It's a good week to get in there and do what you do best. Others will be impressed by your work ethic -- and your ability to think outside the box when facing a challenge.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- It may be up to you to manage a situation this week that someone has made a mess of, but you may discover that you enjoy this kind of work. (June 7-June 20) -- Now is the time for you to call in a few favors owed to you so that you can position yourself to take the greatest possible advantage of a developing situation.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You are committed to uncovering the truth about a situation you've only recently become aware of, but take care that you don't ruffle too many feathers. (July 8-July 22) -- Stamina is the key to success this week, and you're not likely to build it without putting yourself through a new kind of training regimen. This can really get you going.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may come to understand a very difficult situation far more than anyone else this week, no doubt because you have been able to keep your distance. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You cannot apply rules to every situation equally this week and you'll have to tailor your behavior very carefully to suit changing circumstances. Don't be stubborn.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You're likely to come to conclusions this week that others do not understand or agree with, but you'll have time to prove just how right you are. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You're able to meet any challenge that arises this week simply by facing it head on and applying skills that you've developed over the long haul. You won't be cowed.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Something that was inexpertly done last week can be spruced up this week -- just in time to make a lasting impression on one who sits in judgment. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Any attempt to hide something from those in charge this week will only backfire, causing you embarrassment and requiring you to put in extra time and effort you cannot afford.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may find that you do not enjoy the same freedom this week as you did last -- but that can actually help you focus more and extend your creative reach. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Unexpected engagement with another is likely to lead to certain developments that, in turn, lead to a few quick decisions that land you in a strange emotional place.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may be moving so quickly this week that you are, at first, unaware of how your work or behavior is impacting those around you. Pay attention. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You'll be quick to solve a problem that is presented to you early in the week, and this prepares you for something much bigger that's likely to come your way.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You're so enthusiastic this week that it may prove difficult at times to focus your energy on required activities. You can't just do what you want. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Everything seems to be pointing you in one direction this week, but the fact is that this is only preliminary, and soon you'll realize where you're really going.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Any clash of ideology you experience this week is only going to strengthen your belief -- and your resolve. You're ready for any conflict that results. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Pay attention to the signs you pass this week that are clear indicators of your progress. You may find yourself in the right place at the right time more than once.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You may receive mixed signals from those with whom you interact the most this week. Your job will be to untangle them so you know what everyone is after. (March 6-March 20) -- You may be driven this way and that by an unusual emotional current, especially early in the week. When you realize what's at play here, you'll know just what to do.
