The coming week will see many individuals looking forward to "big things" -- but when those will come to pass is anyone's guess. There doesn't seem to be any immediate indication that things are heating up or that circumstances are beginning to favor the events that are so eagerly anticipated. Still, it's a good week to prepare for what is coming, be it near or far; there's no time like the present to hone skills, take stock of resources and assemble a team. Indeed, this week can make a big difference to all manner of future endeavors if the time is used well and the opportunity for self-assessment is not allowed to slip away. Everyone can benefit from that kind of reflection and work.
Some may find it difficult to make their schedules work out seamlessly as they try to do many things and meet many deadlines -- while at the same time tending to personal issues that are not likely to wait. Be warned against letting tension and stress take control!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may be asking questions that no one is able to answer -- at least not without investigating all circumstances further. (May 6-May 20) -- You may want to invite others to view your work before finalizing anything. You can bet there will be alterations to make.
