The coming week is likely to require a greater focus on balance and equilibrium for many individuals; otherwise, many events could possibly knock them off their feet. It's not so much that there are surprises in store -- though there are, certainly -- but rather that what transpires this week is likely to have a more immediate impact in a way for which it is almost impossible to prepare. That's the reason why it's so important for one to be standing squarely on two feet at all times. There's much to be said for the ability to hop, skip and jump, for such navigation can prove beneficial -- but this week standing tall and solid is a real plus.
On at least three occasions this week there may be a fuss made over something that needn't attract such attention -- but the fact that it does means that it will be something that one must deal with for longer than anticipated. What happens is, in large part, less important than how others react to it.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You can get away with more than expected this week simply by being confident -- and letting your brash side have a little free rein. (April 5-April 19) -- You must be prepared to spend a little more time on a project that you thought would be finished in no time.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You're trying to figure out something that has held others in thrall for quite some time. You hold the key, even if you aren't aware of it. (May 6-May 20) -- Take the time to assess your situation with great care -- before swinging into action, if possible.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may be tempted to relive an episode that taught you a great deal about yourself -- but any new lessons aren't likely to be as positive. (June 7-June 20) -- You may have to make one or two last-minute adjustments this week as a result of a chance encounter.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You have what it takes to attract just the right kind of people to a new project -- but you're going to have to assemble a team with care. (July 8-July 22) -- Someone is likely to compel you to make a promise you know will be difficult to keep this week.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You're likely to meet someone this week who makes you feel differently about a great many things -- and who challenges you in many new ways. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You're likely to find yourself competing with someone who forces you to dig deeper than you have before.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- There are those who believe you are only "faking it," but this week you can put them in their place as you achieve a new level of authenticity. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- What you have assumed for a long time is likely to be shattered in a way that has you both surprised and relieved. Much can be different this week.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- That which has been missing can be found; you may not want to reach further than you have before, but circumstances will require it. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You are concerned about maintaining control -- but this week, the important things are likely to control you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You've been operating under a few key assumptions that are likely to be dispelled this week. Focus on what you know you know! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Now is no time to make someone do something that seems out of place or out of character. Play it cool this week.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Give yourself more time to do the things that you usually do without thinking; this week, you'll require more in the way of moral support. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may find yourself waiting, waiting, waiting for something that is actually in someone else's hands entirely.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Putting another's needs ahead of your own this week will actually enable you to assess your needs more accurately than usual. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may feel as though you have been on the sidelines long enough; this week, you'll have the chance to take the field.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may have trouble telling a loved one just what he or she needs to hear -- though you know that you will when necessary. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Style and substance can combine this week in a way that allows you to score big points at the workplace.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- There's no accounting for taste, and this week you must avoid taking personally any suggestion that your taste is not what it should be. (March 6-March 20) -- You may not know what to make of another's overtures early in the week; adjustment may be necessary.
