The coming week is likely to offer more than one good opportunity to stop and look back at the journey that has been made thus far since the seasons last changed. The view from here should be quite detailed and should allow for an excellent self-assessment of motives, methods and progress. Some will find that the routine they have continued -- or established -- during the past weeks or months is serving them quite well and should be continued.
While there are many opportunities to be pursued this week, there is one that seems to shine much brighter than any other, and those who choose to redouble their efforts and parlay a past success into more of the same will have a fine time of it -- and can show the rest of the world that what worked in the past can surely work very well again.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Energy and inspiration are running high this week, and you're likely to accomplish more than you had planned. You can take on more responsibilities. (April 5-April 19) -- Look around this week and you'll spot someone whose methods are similar to your own. Watch carefully and you'll learn even more about your true motives as well.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may discover that a past restriction has been lifted, but don't go crazy thinking that you're free to do anything you want. That's not allowed. (May 6-May 20) -- You may be caught uncomfortably between what you want to do and what you should do -- and it's that "should" that can really wreak havoc with your week. Is it really inviolate?
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- It's most important this week that you feel comfortable not only where you are, but with what you are doing as well. One assignment may not feel quite right. (June 7-June 20) -- It's important to remain fully aware of all that is going on around you this week. In particular, don't overlook those areas that in the past have escaped your notice.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You can take a little more time with routine duties this week. Toward the weekend you may have to pick up the pace when a new assignment comes your way. (July 8-July 22) -- A battle between the light and the dark is likely to sweep you up and threaten your peace of mind this week. You can come out unharmed if you focus on all that is real and true.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may think that your week will progress smoothly and that your goals will be met on schedule -- but someone you know is likely to throw a wrench into the works. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You have what it takes to rise above most conflicts this week and follow the high road directly to your chosen destination. Don't be derailed by lesser instincts.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You can surely make the most this week of a situation you had very little to do with as it first evolved. Your ability to vary your approach is admirable. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You are eager to try something again this week that gave you one of your rare failures not long ago. Things are different now that your training is complete.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Others may be struggling with issues of trust this week, while you are perfectly willing to go along with what a friend or loved one says. Something's coming. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may consider sacred something that one of your friends thinks is nothing special -- and it's your feelings about it that really matter right now. Don't give in.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Your know-how can serve everyone you encounter this week in ways that are both expected and surprising. This is a period of increased effectiveness. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You must be sure that you have all resources at the ready -- and within reach. You may have little time this week to stop and regroup, and momentum is a key factor.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You are more than willing to give something new a try, but take care that you are not putting yourself or others at risk for the wrong reasons. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Time can surely prove an ally, provided you do your best to front-load your week so that later on you have more time for improvisation and pleasure. Every moment counts.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Things may get a little more chaotic this week than your planning would lead you to expect, but if you join forces with another, you can maintain control. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- It's not enough to do what is required of you this week; you must be willing in some way to go above and beyond. You'll discover the minimum is really not the minimum.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You've been following the rules to the best of your ability, but this week your relations with the powers that be may be strained. Figure out why. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You can profit from experimentation this week, but only if you base your trials on something you know to be true. Not everything can be guesswork, as others are depending on you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You can get closer this week to someone who means a great deal to you, and though not everyone will understand the dynamic, you'll have no need to explain. (March 6-March 20) -- What you offer may well come back to you on a greater scale -- and is that what you want? You must do your best to determine what you're really after and why.
