Your Stars This Week | May 21st, 2023

The coming week is likely to see a good many individuals having to adjust to changing circumstances -- or those which have already changed -- to the extent that they have to begin dealing with what amounts to changing and changed realities of all kinds that affect almost all areas of daily life, from personal to the professional. This week, inner strength, emotional fortitude and psychological health are all of nearly equal importance.

Many will run the risk this week of thinking that they are going through something very important -- and likely very difficult -- all alone, but this is not the case. There are many people who can provide essential help, guidance and encouragement this week -- and all one has to do is reach out and ask for it.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- What you do and say this week will almost surely be remembered, but attempts by others to use any of it against you in the future are sure to miss the mark. (April 5-April 19) -- You'll want to gravitate toward others who are going through something very much like what you're going through -- but, in truth, you must deal with much of it alone.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Once the damage is done this week, you'll not be able to undo it, so you must apply a good deal of vigilance to all things this week starting at day one. (May 6-May 20) -- You may be suffering from symptoms you've brought upon yourself. Pay attention to what your body is saying to you, and try to keep emotions out of the equation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You're going to have to juggle a few more things than usual this week and take on someone else's burden as well -- temporarily, at least. You'll make progress. (June 7-June 20) -- You must be willing to face a great many things all at once this week, lest you be overwhelmed and fail at the one thing that you simply must get right. Don't waver.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Starting over may not be an option, but you can forge ahead with your usual duties in a way that embraces whatever provides you something of a new outlook. (July 8-July 22) -- You are tempted to let everything else slide this week in order to focus on the one thing that most interests you, but this can be detrimental. Attend to all that comes up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may not enjoy all of the opportunities that you were hoping would arise, but what you are able to do will prove to others that you are in it to win it. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may have to give someone you know the shock treatment this week on more than one occasion in order to communicate what it is you're going through right now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You'll have a chance to prove yourself in a manner that means more to you, ultimately, than anyone else. A stubborn obstacle forces you to dig deep. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You must respond to all that happens this week in a rational manner that is also proportional. Anything you do that is out of line will surely come back to haunt you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You're likely to find yourself challenged this week -- not by what anyone else does, but by what you yourself do under pressure. Some fixes prove difficult. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You mustn't make the mistake of thinking that everything will be clearly revealed to you on the surface of things. You're going to have to look deeper than that.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Others may have the opportunity to take advantage of you this week, but by thinking fast and moving just as quickly, you can avoid any genuine dangers. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- The nimbler you are, in both mind and body, the more likely you'll be to avoid certain hardships that have plagued others going through similar situations. Stay alert!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You can take advantage of a situation in a way that takes almost everyone else by surprise -- but especially those who consider you a rival. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You're going to have to accept certain new realities this week if you're going to make the kind of progress internally and externally that allows you to be truly you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may want to challenge the experts at times this week, but when faced with overwhelming evidence, you must accept their verdict -- and deal with it. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Now is no time to let others see you succumbing to situations of your own making. Be strong, proactive and thorough to avoid being seen as vulnerable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- The sooner you are able to take control of a situation that is evolving very quickly, the sooner you'll have what you want. Be ready! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may come across someone who is better than you are at dealing with certain prevailing circumstances. Watch and learn -- and be ready to step in when it is your turn.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You can do yourself proud this week, but it's going to take a great deal of patience and fortitude to face a situation that has evolved over time. (March 6-March 20) -- You can be both buoyant and resilient this week, yet you'll still be affected by certain developments that you simply didn't see coming. Your plans will have to change.

Your Stars This Week | May 14th, 2023

The coming week is likely to afford most, if not all, the opportunity to see certain key issues in a new light, and to take action that reestablishes as status quo that which may have been lost in the past to doubt, uncertainty and an unwillingness to take a stand. This week, however, taking a stand will be very much a part of every job done well -- and those who attempt to finish a job without putting their beliefs on the line in some way are likely to come up short.

It's a good week for those with a penchant for reflection to turn their attention inward and determine what, if anything, can be done to solidify that which has not yet been affirmed, and to eradicate that which has proved itself no longer timely but which hangs on stubbornly. Answers that lie within can surely be applied to many issues without this week.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Your immediate environment -- especially where you work -- could use a once-over. Take the time this week to make changes you've long looked forward to. (April 5-April 19) -- You're in no position to call the shots this week, nor are you eager simply to do what you are told. This proves a quandary until a friend steps in to help you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You'll be interested to learn this week who is in the club with you, and how you find out provides some entertainment. A tough question is answered. (May 6-May 20) -- Doing the same old thing this week can actually provide you with the opportunity to look at things differently -- which you should do in order to up your game.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- Collective efforts can pay off this week, but only if you're willing to share both responsibility and credit with others. Try to be generous. (June 7-June 20) -- You are far more interested in quantity than quality, and this week that should give you a certain advantage over those who are thinking only in terms of the numbers.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- As you reach for more this week, you'll have to be careful that you don't overextend, as there is more than you know at stake. Guard against emotional injury. (July 8-July 22) -- You are better off dividing your work week into equal parts so that your efforts are easily measurable and you don't risk putting too much into any one goal or project.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You're getting used to something you thought you'd never have to get used to, and in the process this week, you're also learning that you're capable of more. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- How you handle a personal situation early in the week can inspire others -- but you will want to avoid getting involved in their affairs, even if you are asked.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You can expect others to complain to you about certain policies and protocols, but it's not up to you to change anything yet. That time will come. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- It may seem rather soon to review certain past activities, but you'll learn a lot and should be in a position to redo certain things and get far better results.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You're in a tough position, but as the week continues, you should be able to spy more and more opportunities to improve things -- temporarily and for good. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may find yourself waiting for someone else to fill in the blanks for you, when in fact your imagination can do a fine job -- and in far less time, too.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- How you work with a loyal ally will make all the difference this week, and how you deal with a rival will allow you to do even more to further your agenda. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- A recent improvement begins to take effect this week, and you'll find your spirits lifted and even your ability to make quick decisions improved. Make a big plan.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You are likely only to progress apace this week when an obstacle you've lately ignored is addressed head-on. You can no longer live in the past. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- Early in the week you may experience only limited results, but later on, things should improve dramatically. It's a matter of waiting for the right timing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You mustn't believe those who tell you that your time is up, for you still have plenty of opportunities this very week to make the right things happen. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Take the time to give someone precisely what they want this week -- as only you can. Once this has the desired effect, you can focus more squarely on your own affairs.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You must be able to see things from a fresher perspective this week if you're going to parlay a past success into a new one. Don't get held back. (Feb. 3-Feb. 18) -- You must prepare yourself for a shellacking this week if you're not able to improve your game with some up-to-date techniques. You don't want to be left behind, do you?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You must learn to leave well enough alone when you are not the one making things happen. Hovering and making a nuisance of yourself will never do. (March 6-March 20) -- Once you're able to see someone else's efforts for what they really are, you'll be off and running. This week you certainly needn't settle for second place.

Your Stars This Week for May 07, 2023

Your Stars This Week | May 7th, 2023

The coming week is likely to require a great deal of thought along lines not usually considered necessary or legitimate, in order to deal with rapidly emergent and quickly evolving situations that go against the grain where both timing and desire are concerned. There may not seem to be room for what transpires this week, and beyond that, what is most likely is not likely to be wanted, at all, by those who have the most at stake at this time.

Despite the clear presence of an emotional component to all that is going on this week, there is very little place for emotion when it comes to solving problems that arise, for emotions are only likely to cloud certain key issues and prevent ordinary mortals from getting to the heart of the matter -- again and again. The head must remain in control this week!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may have good reason to go back go where you started, but potential gains are not what you envision. Think twice before heading out on your own this week. (April 5-April 19) -- Things transpire this week very much as planned, and yet you may still be drawn to a situation that is more chaotic than anything else going on. Why be so curious?

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You can try something from long ago, and while it's not likely to be wholly successful this week, you can learn a few important lessons about moving forward. May 6-May 20) -- You may find yourself working on a problem this week that is giving up some unexpected secrets. There's knowledge to be gained, but also the risk of some unpleasant surprises.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- What someone else wants may be temporarily out of reach this week, but what you can actually get your hands on may prove a suitable substitute for a while. (June 7-June 20) -- Say the word and your team of supporters will rush to your side, ready to help you address a situation that you never expected to arise. Throw numbers at the problem.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Questions such as "who" and "why" will on your mind throughout much of the day, but may prove to be only distractions. Get to the heart of the problem. (July 8-July 22) -- You will have to commit a great deal to memory today in order to prepare to do what has to be done in the long run. You derive a lot of fun out of a work project.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You'll be answering many questions throughout the week, but none is likely to be as complicated as the one you ask yourself in the midst of a very busy time. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Much of what you can accomplish this week will be done in the name of family, but at some point, you're going to have to tend to an issue that involves you alone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- A strong beginning this week has you thinking you can tackle anything, which may prove a dangerous notion. Be ready to pull up short if necessary. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may be mistaking past feeling with current needs. The emotional component is complicating matters this week; avoid making a key decision.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- When you use words like "forever" and "always," you are setting up unrealistic expectations, and this week you must deal only in what is real. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may be hit from behind this week by someone who has never thought ill of you for a moment. This sets up a new dynamic that may require a dramatic adjustment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Something is likely to take control of you this week that you cannot explain or understand -- at first. Later, you'll realize what is really going on. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Just when you think you're stuck in a situation that cannot possibly end well, you'll be presented with options that allow you to salvage much of a difficult week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You may have to make a personal adjustment this week in order to allow a family member to take center stage. This will be remembered -- and rewarded. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- An unrealistic view of your position is keeping you from making the right decision. Listen to a friend who, by week's end, can have you thinking in a new way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You can't simply run through an obstacle and expect to proceed as before. Take time to think through this situation, and choose a better course of action. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You can show others how it's done this week while still indulging in a certain personal preference that usually goes against the popular grain. How you do it is your secret!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You know where you're going and you're eager to get there, but this week you must prepare yourself for a slowdown that may last longer than it should. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may be tempted to turn away from your stated goal this week in order to explore other options. Friends and family members object, but you are determined.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You have seeds to sow and the timing is right -- so make sure that you act when the time comes and don't simply squander an opportunity that may not return. (March 6-March 20) -- Much of your private behavior this week would be quite inexplicable even to those who know you well. You are likely making preparations for a major change.
