The coming week is likely to present numerous opportunities for individuals to do what others have done before -- but this time, the rewards are likely to be greater than ever before. There is, of course, an advantage to following in the footsteps others have laid down: Their mistakes can be lessons to all who come after them, and their triumphs can provide inspiration. What each individual must do this week is think of the greater good -- for those whose purposes are bigger than themselves will have the advantage. A generosity of spirit can go a long way at this time.
New strategies and tactics can be combined with those that are tried and true, and the people who really apply themselves will find themselves paving a new way entirely -- even if they had sworn only to do what had been done before. It's an interesting week in which the old and the new are intermingled freely.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You may come upon an obstacle that is not only quite stubborn, but also very difficult to wrap your head around. Be persistent. (April 5-April 19) -- That which comes your way today may require some personal interpretation before its meaning is fully appreciated.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You're likely to find that those around you are more willing to sign on if you are completely honest about what is involved. (May 6-May 20) -- Now is not the time to try to "put one over" on anyone; be honest, up-front and willing to tell all.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may not be able to decide with ease what you should be doing with yourself this week; all options present positives and negatives. (June 7-June 20) -- There is nothing new to experience this week, perhaps, but you can make the familiar all the more important.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may have to go over some of the same ground again and again this week to be sure that those in your care understand all of the rules. (July 8-July 22) -- An environmental change, whether subtle or not, will have a dramatic effect and far-reaching consequences.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- It's time for you to do this week what you have known has had to be done for quite some time. There are no more excuses to offer! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You will enjoy the rest and relaxation you get this week in part because it will come to you so rarely and unexpectedly.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- If it's information you're after, you only have to ask and you will receive it. Whether or not it will be helpful is a different question. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You're likely to get a tough assignment this week; you can get it done!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You've been distracting yourself with all manner of things that are more fun than that which you have to do. Delay no further! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Now is the time for you to share openly what you have learned over the past few weeks or months.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You're waiting on a piece of information that is proving much more stubborn than you expected. Use the time to plan carefully. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You'll be moving forward this week into territory that offers both opportunity and a certain amount of danger.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You have quite a story to tell, and there are plenty of people who want to hear it. You may have to tell it more than once! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may find it hard to resist passing judgment on a situation that is not of your making, but entirely out of your control.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- Going about a thing one step at a time may be necessary, but it's likely to drive you to distraction! You want to move much more quickly. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You have to offer something this week that no one else can -- and yet everyone wants his or her share of it!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You'll be reunited with someone this week -- even if only over the phone or the Internet. A face-to-face meeting can be arranged. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- Mind your manners this week; you don't want to do something that is going to be easily misinterpreted.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- A long-awaited meeting may be more down-to-earth than expected -- but it can certainly provide you with a surprising reward. (March 6-March 20) -- That which is easily attained is not for you this week; you're in the mood to earn what you get the old-fashioned way.
