The coming week is likely to require a significant increase in personal creativity and a willingness to work in tandem with at least one other person who has similar skills, aspirations, goals and methods. Toward midweek, the unexpected is almost certain to inspire creative thinking that busts all prior molds and allows all involved to soar to new heights -- or at least plan for it! Now's the time to reach for the stars.
Those who really want to make a splash this week will figure out early on that it may be necessary to overlook personal hardships as new ideas are explored and valuable resources -- including time itself -- are trained on a new set of goals. Meetings can result in consensus this week, but not all will be productive, and some are best canceled or postponed.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You and a supposed enemy have proven that you can coexist, but it may be more difficult than usual this week as you are both after the very same thing. (April 5-April 19) -- You may have to dig much deeper than expected this week to come up with the answers to questions being asked of you by those who will soon be depending on you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You receive a warning that you should be able to ignore once you've reached a comfortable operating speed. Before that, you'll have to take precautions. (May 6-May 20) -- The week unfolds very much as expected until you suddenly realize it's not your expectations that are being met. You're going to have to make a chance -- and make it soon.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You will have plenty to think about this week as you try to figure out how someone else's behavior has been affecting your own. Try looking in the mirror. (June 7-June 20) -- A surprise development has you moving along at a much quicker pace this week than you had anticipated. You may not think you're ready for this, but others know you are.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You must take those seriously this week who come to you for help. You may not think your assistance will be of value, but that doesn't matter to them. (July 8-July 22) -- You've got plenty of gas in the tank after a very busy few weeks, so you shouldn't have to say "no" to any of the people you're working with or for. Keep it up.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You are anticipating an anniversary that will likely have you reliving certain feelings that you wish you could get over completely -- but it's not yet the time. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- The closer you and a rival get to the finish line this week, the more you'll realize that collaboration is possible -- next time. You're out to win this particular race!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You may be focused so squarely on financial realities this week that you overlook a rare opportunity that may only come around once. This can be avoided. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You're eager to teach someone a lesson that you learned some time ago. You'll have at least three solid opportunities to show them how it's done this week.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- An unexpected change in itinerary is likely to complicate matters for you later in the week. You'll have time to iron out any major wrinkles. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Take care that you're not being fooled this week by someone presenting a false front to you and others. If you think something is not right, by all means, act accordingly.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You'll feel yourself being pulled in a direction you did not originally mean to go -- but where you end up this week is partially due to fate. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Regardless of what you've told others you'll do this week, your output may be quite different from what is expected. A creative approach leads to a valuable discovery.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You are eager to get in touch with someone recognized for both status and expertise -- but reputation isn't everything. Are you truly compatible? (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You'll have a good time indulging in at least one old pleasure this week, but when the time comes to move on and focus on present concerns, there can be no argument.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Take care that while attending to business to which there seems no end you take care of yourself physically, emotionally and by all means mentally. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Something new has you wishing that more than just that were just as exciting. Things can satisfy your desire for adventure this week, but you must play by the rules.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may have to rub elbows with many individuals this week to get your plans up and running, but never fear: Little will be asked of you in return. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You're seeing things with unusual clarity, and though the week may throw you a number of curves, you should be able to hit the ball out of the park every time -- almost.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Whether close up or at a distance, you should be able to recognize what's in front of you without employing any guesswork this week. Share what you know. (March 6-March 20) -- You are likely to discover that someone you've known only a short while has more in common with you than any conversation has yet revealed. Reach out this week.
