The coming week is likely to require that most individuals absorb quickly something that they have not, in the past, had reason to learn. This is a necessity; progress depends upon the broadening of general knowledge that will enable an individual to address situations that until now might have been unanticipated or avoided. Those who already know what needs to be done can enjoy a week marked by a steady pace and continual if gradual progress. Those who have some studying to do must begin immediately, so that they can begin to make strides as the week comes to a close.
Collaboration can surely ease the way for some. There are those who must address current issues entirely on their own. The stars may seem rather fickle at times, allowing success for some, but not according to any seemingly comprehensible pattern. Luck is a factor this week!
SCOPRIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You don't want to look back at what you've done before and realize that you were better off; instead, focus on what you must do tomorrow. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You may find yourself in the grip of something that you simply cannot shake off. Is this physical or emotional? Or both? You may want some expert advice.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- A certain creative endeavor is more important to you this week than at any other time so far this year; you can make a great deal of headway. (April 5-April 19) -- Someone may be trying to stand in your way, but you are unusually quick to react and can maneuver around any obstacle that appears before you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You are afraid to put things in plain terms, as others may react in a fashion that slows your momentum. It's a risk you have to take! (May 6-May 20) -- The gravitational pull you feel from someone outside of your immediate circle will change how you do certain things this week. You're ready to give someone a chance.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may find yourself dealing with people this week who are not interested in putting their differences aside. Don't let this get you down! (June 7-June 20) -- An old friend or loved one has some advice for you that will serve you in good stead as you prepare for a journey you've been reluctant to take.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You're eager to see what a friend is up to, as you haven't been in touch for a while. This week, his or her activities likely mirror your own. (July 8-July 22) -- The quicker you swing into action the better, as you don't want to give the competition any time to figure out what advantage you have.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You'll be happy to be able to tend to the same old things this week, as you don't yet feel ready to take on a certain new responsibility. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may find yourself missing the way things used to be done, even as you forge ahead and adopt new strategies and tactics. Someone has his or her eye on you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You can share some highly specialized knowledge today, or you can keep it to yourself. The former path has greater potential right now. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- What others are doing needn't affect you right now, even though it will prove interesting to you on an intellectual level. Don't become distracted!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You may be utterly bored with the way things are panning out; this week something happens to change your attitude dramatically! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You're trying to solve a mystery that puzzles those around you as well as yourself. Why not accept help? Another set of eyes can do you some good!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Take care that you don't respond to unfavorable circumstances by hiding yourself away and avoiding trouble. Address it! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You must take better care of yourself this week, as the pressures you face are likely to mount. You may be running very close to your "red line"!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You can operate more efficiently this week provided you accept certain responsibilities while avoiding certain clear obstacles. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Someone makes an offer that is very difficult to refuse. Your know-how will be on display, and others will be drawn to you as a result.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You must be sure that the news you get this week is up-to-date. Your attention must be on what lies ahead, not what's behind you. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You're tired of the same old things affecting you in the same old ways. You can make one or two dramatic changes that send you in a new direction.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You can approach something in your signature way this week, but you must also consider someone else's methods as you address some new elements. (March 6-March 20) -- You may be wondering why things have to be so acrimonious at this time. Rather than think, why not do? You can be instrumental in easing tensions.
