The coming week is likely to require a great deal more cooperation between seemingly rival teams if progress is to be made by any. Much of what happens this week will be the result either of successful cooperation or the failure of one or many to realize the importance of coming together under a common banner -- especially when, in all other instances, rivalry and competition make up the status quo. Simply not cooperating, for whatever reason, can have ill effects far exceeding expectations -- and those effects can only be avoided by pursuing and fostering active cooperation and teamwork.
The prize, this week, may not be grand, dramatic or memorable, but it can certainly prove important in the long run, and those who do not reach for it -- for whatever reason -- are almost certainly opening themselves up to problems that could otherwise be so easily avoided and making themselves vulnerable to all kinds of risks that are, in fact, unnecessary.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Accuracy in reporting will be essential to your success this week; you mustn't tell anyone anything that might be deceptive or misleading in any way. (April 5-April 19) -- While you are gravitating inexorably toward someone who inspires you, others may be moving into your orbit for the same reason. These trends can be combined.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Your schedule will have to be carefully synced with another's this week in order to have things done properly for a third party who needs your help. (May 6-May 20) -- Trying to make a very simple plan to see a friend or loved one may prove more difficult than expected. A lot of seemingly disparate parts must be assembled perfectly.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- A voice from the past has you changing course very quickly not long after the week begins -- but you'll find a way back to where you want to be just in time. (June 7-June 20) -- Quick thinking will surely be required this week as you tend to developments that come upon you very fast and do not give you time to consider each option.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may spend much time this week in surroundings that do not give you the comfort and mental support you're used to -- but you can find it elsewhere, surely. (July 8-July 22) -- Don't let anyone shock you into doing something you will regret; this week, you must take everything with a proverbial grain of salt and avoid knee-jerk reactions.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Your awareness that something is amiss will surely prove beneficial -- but it will only keep you safe for so long. Before the week is out, you must surely act. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You're growing tired of facing the same financial situation again and again, despite all the effort you are putting into solving the problem. Clearly, it's not enough!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You can avoid a calamity this week simply by following a path built of logic and experience. Your success may be limited, but dangers should be few. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You'll want to be available when someone reaches out to you, so you are better off front-loading the week and tending to difficult personal business as early as you possibly can.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- The moment you make a start this week, you'll be in competition with someone else, and you are better off working together than against each other. Make the switch! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You can offer an opportunity to another this week that will surely benefit you as well -- but only if it is exploited to the fullest. You must be part of this success.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Quality control will be a priority issue all week long, but agreeing with others about what is high quality may require some careful negotiation. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Any travel you may have planned for the week must be carefully considered at every stage; you may have to make changes that you could not possibly have anticipated.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Getting things done properly, on schedule and under budget can be very simple this week, as long as everyone working with you is on the same page. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- What you have proposed for the week may be met with objection by some, but you can change their minds simply by demonstrating what can happen if you are denied.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You must accept that certain possibilities this week are undesirable in the extreme. You can only keep them from happening by working closely with a rival. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Group activities are favored this week, though they will surely be logistically much more difficult than any solo efforts you may have considered. Be organized!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may have to wait quite a while this week before receiving the information you need to close out a project. Use the time to your advantage. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Don't just sit there this week waiting for others to come to you with solutions to your problems; you must take the initiative and explore all possible plans and schemes.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Others are likely looking to you for leadership this week, but you are not feeling as strong and capable as you might. Such insecurity can be dangerous! (March 6-March 20) -- You have a journey planned, perhaps, but it's likely you'll be on the road much sooner than expected. Take care that preparations are not cut short for any reason.
