The coming week is likely to develop in a manner that challenges almost everyone's expectations -- while at the same time, giving a special few precisely what they want when they want it. And who might those few be? That's a question that isn't likely to be clearly answered until the week is over -- or, perhaps, until well into the following week or the week after. Those in management positions will have to make decisions very quickly this week in order to keep the most valuable members of their team from rebelling.
Money matters are likely to come to the fore this week, and those who feel they don't have enough will be put, through a quirk of stellar influence, on the same level as those with plenty.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may have to split your time this week in order to deal with two conflicting needs. You should discover a new, creative way to deal with such problems. (April 5-April 19) -- You're eager to join forces with someone who seems to know what's happening at this time, but you may be making a dangerous assumption. What does the evidence tell you?
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- A shock early in the week has you doing many things in a different way. This method is new to you, but you've actually borrowed it from a favorite mentor. (May 6-May 20) -- Your immediate environment may challenge you this week in ways both expected and unexpected. The easy way to deal with this is to change venues, but is that what you want?
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You can give others what they want from you all week long without depleting your own stores of energy or essential resources. Your turn comes very soon. (June 7-June 20) -- You may have to recalibrate your thinking this week as you face a situation that tells you that much of your assumptions are erroneous. You'll soon show others the way.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You'll feel an unmistakable pull from someone who has been drifting in and out of your orbit for quite some time. Now your decisions will affect both of you. (July 8-July 22) -- You may be more excited about this week's possibilities than you have been in quite a while. This is due, in part, to your fascination with what someone else is doing.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Take heed of any rumblings that might warn you of an approaching threat. You must remain vigilant this week and avoid getting yourself locked down. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Your ability to skirt an uncomfortable issue may abandon you this week, and this will force you to deal with something that has been staring you in the face for a while.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may find yourself in charge of what certain others say, do and even think this week. The best approach is one that gives them a great deal of leeway. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- What goes on all around you this week may have you yearning for a simpler time -- but if you think about it objectively, you'll realize you're in the catbird seat.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Travel plans may have to change this week as a confluence of factors make it impossible for you to go where you feel you most belong. Another journey pays off. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You are eager to enjoy a little more quality time with family or loved ones this week, and this will require you to put something important on a back burner for a while.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You may have to tackle a certain challenge bit by bit this week, as doing it all at once will require you to do what, right now, simply cannot be done. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You can surprise the naysayers by succeeding at a certain endeavor that has proved almost impossible for many others. A new creative phase begins now.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You can learn much this week about dealing with other people -- especially those with very different attitudes. Avoid the usual interactions. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You must progress this week in a logical fashion so that a certain someone isn't able to weaken your stance and upset your plans. Doing it by the book pays off this week.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You should be able to pick up the slack this week and finish something that others were unable to complete. The rewards that come your way may surprise you. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may be wondering how you've avoided the very pitfalls that have tripped up your friends. It's better not to think too much, but to keep doing what you're doing.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You're likely to receive news that results in mixed feelings about what you had planned to do this week. Any changes you make will have far-reaching effects. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Someone is trying to push your buttons and make you doubt yourself this week -- but it's just talk. You needn't listen to anything that is opposed to what you're doing.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You are far less interested in impressing others this week than you are in doing what you are called upon to do in a way that brings about desired changes. (March 6-March 20) -- You may be working from a different playbook this week, and you're hoping that those in charge recognize the value of allowing you to do your own thing.
