ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You're going to have to be spontaneous this week in order to manage certain things in a productive and forward-thinking manner. Don't get stuck. (April 5-April 19) -- You may not be able to do all you had planned this week because someone else whose efforts are also quite prominent doesn't know how to be more in sync with you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Your needs and desires may have to take second place this week to someone whose situation is far more volatile than yours. You can offer valuable advice. (May 6-May 20) -- You may very soon find yourself at the point of no return, and you must be ready to do that which others have not been willing to do. A quick decision is required.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may wish you were somewhere else, but there's little that can be done about that this week. You can begin planning for a change, but you must be realistic. (June 7-June 20) -- You may receive a shock to the system early in the week that has you examining your own perspective about what's going on all around you. A deep dive is advised.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You should be able to acquire that which will allow you to move ahead at a quicker pace -- but take care that you don't neglect to learn how to use it. (July 8-July 22) -- A technical malfunction may slow things down this week, but you'll have the opportunity to see certain people -- and issues -- in a new light. This can prove quite profitable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may harbor a deep-seated distrust of self-proclaimed "experts," but this week you must be willing to get their input on more than one occasion. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You're going to have to get creative this week if money is not to be a major issue. To have what you need and make the most of it will require quick and confident planning.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You're eager to put the last piece of a puzzle into place, and the opportunity to do so will surely present itself this week -- but likely only once. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Be ready to respond honestly to something that comes your way when everyone else is ready to call it quits. You may be able to revive a project that will soon pay off.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- That suspicion you are feeling toward others may be turned on you at some point this week. Such mistrust can only get in the way; reset and start over. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You're going to have to honor an agreement recently made by others in your absence -- like it or not. You'll find that to play along is to promote the positive.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Any and all warnings you receive this week should be taken seriously, but you must be sure that your responses are proportional. Don't overreact. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- What you do this week may be remembered for quite some time, even though, in the moment, it might well be overlooked by the powers that be. Remain positive this week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Getting further than expected this week will require a certain amount of cheek, and when you get going, you'll want to be sure a friend has your back. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Not everyone will approve of your motives this week, and even fewer may approve of your methods -- until you start to get results, at which point all should be forgiven.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You must encourage those around you to wait just a little longer if they can, for you are almost ready to reveal something that can effect much change. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Any attempt at avoiding the inevitable will only set you back this week, and you cannot afford a loss that you haven't already anticipated and prepared for in some way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You're eager for someone or something to take your mind off your troubles, but you can ease them for good if you're willing to face them head-on this week. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You cannot wait until everyone else has taken a turn before doing what is required of you. This week, protocol may have to be abandoned.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You are aware of things that cannot be explained, but in-depth study may have to wait. You have several practical concerns to address first. (March 6-March 20) -- You may find yourself in a situation this week that you hope is only temporary, but there are signs pointing to certain realities that will make permanence a real possibility.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Your understanding of a difficult and longstanding situation can finally do you and others some good this week as certain restrictions are lifted. (April 5-April 19) -- A promise made to you some time ago may not be kept this week -- but that doesn't mean you'll be forsaken altogether. You're surely in line for something good.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may have to employ some kind of unusual treatment this week on someone who simply is not acknowledging a certain reality. You must help where you can. (May 6-May 20) -- You and only you know how to resolve a situation that is borne of a disagreement between friends. This week you'll find yourself employing all kinds of clever tactics.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- It doesn't matter at all if others don't see a certain situation as clearly as you do this week; you're the one in a position to do something about it. (June 7-June 20) -- You must stick to the schedule that you have shared with others this week if you really want to benefit from their cooperation. If you don't, you'll surely be on your own.

(July 8-July 22) -- Take the time to assess situations very carefully this week, especially where finances are concerned. You don't have to advertise your intention before you're ready.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- What you do on day one this week must be repeated each subsequent day if you're to make the most out of a certain situation. Expenses may exceed expectations. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Something new takes precedence today as you try to bring everything together in a carefully synchronized fashion. You must tend to everything in just the right order.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may have to wait for someone else's good advice this week -- but until you receive it, you must be willing to give each of your own ideas a trial run. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Little things will certainly add up this week, and you'll want to be sure that you don't wind up with more than you can handle -- or run out altogether!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may have to hide your true feelings from someone this week as you both work together to navigate a minor problem that is having major ramifications. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- A developing situation has you nodding your head as you recognize that much that you have foreseen is now coming to pass. Others will look to you for timely counsel.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- The unexpected can prove quite influential this week, but you can counteract any negative developments with a certain expertise you very rarely display. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may have to investigate the sources of a new mystery this week. Take care you don't drag others into a situation that is over their heads or downright dangerous.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may be warned against doing something this week that you've had in the works for quite some time. Even a "perfect" plan can go haywire quite suddenly. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- The simple and straightforward is always best, and this week it will allow you to gain the necessary understanding of a tricky financial issue. Much is on the line.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- The more you can commit to something this week, the more you'll enjoy it and profit from it. You mustn't assume that all things are at your disposal. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- That which is within reach can surely be yours by the weekend -- but you may be fooled by something placed in your path. This is a red herring, surely!

AQUARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may prove unusually industrious this week, especially in situations that demand quick thinking and an ability to dodge incoming threats. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You're in no mood for busywork this week, but you must tend to certain routine duties before you'll have the chance to reach further for what you truly desire right now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- A quick look behind the scenes makes very clear what has been holding you back -- though this week there is only so much you can do to further your cause. (March 6-March 20) -- You are eager to avoid something that has long made you uncomfortable merely thinking about it, and this week the time has come to state your case to someone in charge.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- The more reasonable you are in the face of one who is being unreasonable this week, the more praise and support you'll receive from those who can help you. (April 5-April 19) -- You can get a great deal done this week, though you will likely have to suffer through a very slow start. The cause of this will also give you more freedom later on.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- In order to take full advantage of an opportunity presented to you this week, you're going to have to take a risk. Are you ready for this? (May 6-May 20) -- A difference of taste may yield far more productivity this week than expected. Where you thought a conflict would result, an odd collaboration can really pay off.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You can carry into the week some high expectations and the energy you need to satisfy them. Don't let anyone tell you that you're standing in your own way. (June 7-June 20) -- Feedback this week can be quite useful to you, but you must be sure to get it from those who understand what it is you're trying to do. Avoid your usual critics.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You can be rather fearless in your pursuit of that which will bring you accolades this week -- but take care that you're not ignoring a key personal issue. (July 8-July 22) -- Keep communication open this week and you should be able to solve any problem -- at least any that announces itself. Some surprises may prove more difficult.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- The dangers you may have to expose yourself to this week may be formidable, but a past success has given you the confidence and the tools you need to prevail. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You don't want to wind up with the short end of the stick this week; get in there and fight for what you want so you can have it! A mentor or tutor offers some new advice.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- The more you keep to yourself this week, the more you'll be able to assess certain situations in ways that work very well for you when put into practice. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may see things as complicated this week, when in fact someone else who is just as involved as you sees them as unusually simple. It may be time to work together.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- What you see and what you get are likely two very different things -- but this shouldn't come as a surprise to you. They diverge in a new way this week. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You've earned much in recent days or weeks, and now you're ready to enjoy a little of what you've worked so hard for at home or the office. Make time for yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- The plans you've made may have to be tossed out at the very last minute this week in order for you to make quick adjustments that accommodate for the unseen. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You'll be facing the inevitable as the week opens, but that doesn't mean you have no options. Indeed, you may have more decisions to make than others. Be flexible.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may be tempted to try something new this week, even though circumstances suggest that the familiar is your best option. This is a misinterpretation. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You can fill your week with many things that bring you enjoyment -- even delight -- but at some point, you're going to have to buckle down and get some serious work done.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may think you're starting the week rather fearlessly but, in fact, you're overlooking a feeling of dread that can keep you safe and sound. Don't! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may discover that your intentions are diametrically opposed to those of a former ally. Is this really a good time to engage in a conflict with a friend? Reconsider.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- Whether conservative or liberal, you'll recognize that you must work with someone who embraces different ideals in order to progress this week. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- The more united you can appear with others in the face of a threat or challenge, the better off you'll all be as the week comes to a close. It's your job to be the leader.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- What you're after and what a friend dearly prizes are not the same thing, despite similarities. You can go your separate ways for a while. (March 6-March 20) -- You'll have more people on your side this week than expected, but that doesn't mean anyone else can do your work for you. You must be willing to get your hands dirty.
