The coming week is likely to require of many individuals a willingness to work with new circumstances and to adopt a fresh approach to address a challenge -- or challenges -- that is long-standing and part of each day's overall responsibilities. In other words, it's time to face the music and do what must be done in order to progress according to a plan laid down some time ago. That plan, of course, may not have been self-made.
One healthy byproduct of adjustments made at this time will be a dramatic increase in self-awareness and, subsequently, self-confidence. Indeed, the more one does this week, the more one will be able to do -- and that pattern can continue indefinitely if positive behavior continues as well.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You and a Cancer native are likely to share certain responsibilities this week. Both theoretical and practical adjustments must be made. (April 5-April 19) -- You're likely to receive a report at the beginning of the week that warrants changes later on -- but it's still important to take things one at a time. Don't be hasty.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- You may find yourself grappling with a personal issue that no one else can help you with this week -- though a friend may have raised it in the first place. (May 6-May 20) -- Peripheral concerns from the recent past make their way to the center of your awareness this week. You may be invited to partake in something that poses a new challenge.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You can recover rather quickly from a shock to the system this week, but an underlying issue is not so easily tackled. You'll have to do some real soul-searching. (June 7-June 20) -- You're eager to start something new this week, and you can take a leaf out of your own book as you take the first and most important steps. Others are eager, too!
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You may be forced to choose sides in a situation that really hasn't required any previous commitment from you one way or another. You can avoid a fight. (July 8-July 22) -- The issues at play this week require close examination before you are thrust into the fray. You must insist on taking the time to learn all you need to know.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Now is no time to believe the gossipmongers. You must deal in facts this week, and study only empirical evidence as you form any new opinions. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- A little role-playing can serve you quite well this week, and you may find that you are far more suited to one certain principal part than another. Ensemble work pays off.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- Your principles are well-founded, but you may be shaken this week by events that affect others more directly than yourself. Sensitivity is running high. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may have to go to some extra effort this week to succeed at something that, only last week, might well have been too easy for you. Something big is happening.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You can put a new plan into motion today -- but take care that you don't ask too much of too many right out of the gate. Your responsibilities multiply. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You feel that you cannot get moving this week unless someone else satisfies your basic needs -- but this is an erroneous assumption. Most things begin and end with you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You mustn't be frustrated if someone tells you things more than once. By week's end, you'll be very glad that you received multiple reminders. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You are in danger of dropping the ball this week after being the one to implement a dramatic change in protocol. A loved one keeps you on track until you take up the baton.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Something important to everyone around you begins and ends with you this week. You mustn't think, however, that others are not to contribute. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You'll get something started that proves exciting to those who choose to join in your efforts. Not everyone, however, trusts that you know what you're doing.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You reach a high point of sorts this week and want to live there a bit and enjoy what comes to you as a result. This can't last indefinitely! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- What is said and heard will prove quite important all week long, and it may fall to you to keep everything organized and information available to those who need it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You've done all the research you need to do and contributed all you can to a developing project. This week, you must wait for some firm results. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You cannot avoid environmental influences this week. Whether it means changing your plans or clothes, you'll have to make adjustments based on more than the weather.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You're approaching a key junction of sorts this week, and whether you go right or left, or continue along your current path, important things happen. (March 6-March 20) -- Others may think that your work has been good enough, if not "exemplary" -- but you know that you're capable of doing more and of being far more efficient.
