The coming week will introduce a great many individuals to something entirely new -- or at least different to the extent that a whole new realm of possibility will result from that which was only slightly familiar, not well-known. For some, this novelty may come in the form of experience: One might meet a new influence, have the opportunity to do something previously untried or travel to faraway lands that open up a new sphere of reflection. For others, it may be internal: a new thought, a new feeling or perhaps even an illness that compels one to think more about what is truly important. All week long, most will be enjoying experiences that are, in some way, game-changing.
For those whose experiences are somewhat challenging or frightening, it is good to remember that whatever trial one is going through is not new to the planet -- there is always someone who can take control and provide trusted, knowledgeable guidance through frightening territory.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- Take a good, long look around you as the week opens, and it will seem as though an effective plan will simply materialize. (April 5-April 19) -- You may feel as if you've had to take on more than you bargained for, but indeed, you're the best one for the job!
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You can prove much to yourself and to others. Take care that hidden desires don't actually start to derail your efforts. (May 6-May 20) -- Are you in the right position? Do you have the right tools at the ready? Preparation is the key to almost everything.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- How you present your ideas to others will make all the difference. You don't want to leave anything to chance. (June 7-June 20) -- You'll feel very much as though you are part of things. You are the only one who may, at some point, get in your own way.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You don't want to play the role of the prodigal son (or daughter). Make sure you are taking all of your responsibilities very seriously. (July 8-July 22) -- Taking care of others begins with taking care of yourself. You can do a better job of this, surely.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You'll recognize the onset of an important phase, though you may not be aware of the details just yet. Ride the wave. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You are gravitating toward one who recognizes something in you that others do not. Something transformative is happening.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You must approach everything in an order that makes sense to you -- it may not be chronological. Your priorities will show the way. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- What is revealed to you will make a big difference as you attempt to define yourself all over again.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may receive an offer that is worth some serious consideration. The decision you make will require certain sacrifices. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You're promoting yourself well, but you can afford to be a bit more aggressive in getting your name out there.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Give yourself more credit; the more you feel you've accomplished in the past, the more you'll be able to accomplish now. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Your instincts are keen; if others are willing to follow you, they will enjoy unexpected profit -- and pleasure, too.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You want to give another what he or she has been asking for, but you must be sure that you are not misinterpreting anything. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- The rules of the game are quite simple; it's the subtleties in approach that will get you a win.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may be confused by the kinds of things that have been crossing your mind. See if you can't pinpoint a realistic cause. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You may receive a clear message that is not entirely intended for you, but which makes a great deal of sense.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You've forgotten, perhaps, the No. 1 principle that guides your affairs. This week is all about getting yourself back on track. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may not be feeling quite like yourself as the week opens, but you'll gain ground and feel better a few days in.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Rhythms of the world around you may seem to be working against you, but in fact it's you who are need of subtle adjustment. (March 6-March 20) -- You're eager to touch base once more with someone who keeps you grounded. You'll welcome a reunion.
