The coming week will ask more of everyone in the way of understanding, tolerance and empathy than they are used to. This will benefit not only those who are more fairly treated as a result, but also those who begin treating others better, for they will gain in ways they had not previously imagined. There is a kind of calm that comes with acceptance and tolerance, and that will be the most common reward for those who choose to treat their fellow human as they themselves wish to be treated: The golden rule yields tremendous rewards for all. Those who insist that manners, courtesy, patience and the like must take a back seat to commodity, profit and other forms of material gain will certainly be missing out; they may well make some financial gains, but they're not likely to be happy this week -- nor will they understand why.
There is much to be learned from youngsters. Watching the young embrace whatever comes with enthusiasm and wonder may seem, to some, to be the overly simplistic behavior of a Pollyanna, but those who sincerely embrace such an attitude will discover that a childlike outlook can circumvent a world of bad feelings.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- The guidance you should give others is the kind that you will want to get when you are in over your head, but that won't happen anytime soon. (April 5-April 19) -- Your needs, and the needs of a loved one, may put the two of you in contact in a way that surprises you both. Think about quality, not quantity.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You can do the right thing without giving it a thought. Indeed, thinking too much can keep you from correct action. (May 6-May 20) -- You have much to accomplish, but most such tasks are of your own choosing. Tend to critical duties first, then you may spend more time having fun!
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may be criticized for something that you chose not to do recently, but there will be time for you to go back and give it a try. (June 7-June 20) -- You may find yourself in an awkward position when the demands you make on a friend warrant a reaction that you are not at all prepared for.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Issues of power must not lead to questions of conquest. You can get along with everyone and still retain control over your destiny. (July 8-July 22) -- Too many things require your attention as the week opens, and you may struggle to keep your head above water. Later on, a friend can throw you a lifeline.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may have questions that must be answered before you can do anything of real substance. Be ready for action at any moment. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You are a fan of someone who is bringing you many new ideas. Perhaps you can begin working more closely together before the week is over.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Your understanding is bound to change somewhat, making it impossible for you to know as much as you thought. This can make things fun, however! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You and a partner must be sure that you are both working toward the same result as the week opens; too much can go awry if you are not.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You must remember the difference between what you can and cannot control. You'll jump at an opportunity when it arises. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Someone you admire is likely to give you a boost, sending you off on a new and exciting trajectory. What happens next is entirely up to you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You'll be able to wrap things up and move on very soon, but in the meantime you must cater to another's whim as you look to the future. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Your imagination will be on fire throughout the week. You can come up with many ideas that others will want to run with -- if only you let them!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You can double or triple your rewards by simply doing the right thing at the right time. It's really no mystery. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You may have to come up with new calculations in order to be sure that a plan can succeed. Certain technical issues may have to be rethought.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may have to rub someone's back a little harder to get what you want out of him or her -- but it should be worth it. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Breaking the rules is not an option, but perhaps you can work some of your particular magic by bending them ever so slightly. You may be watched.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may discover that you're not likely to fit in, no matter what you do. This only means that you can go your own way with confidence. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You may have to approach a certain problem from the "wrong" end. Try to envision a solution, and work your way back toward possible actions.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You mustn't let yourself get embroiled in a conflict that is the result of someone else's obsession. You needn't carry that burden. (March 6-March 20) -- You may have to figure out ways for home to come to you if you are unable to get yourself home. Much will depend on a decision made by a superior.
