The coming week is likely to unfold in a manner that compels many to see things in a new way, while others will be unaffected by the different rhythms that predominate and the different patterns that emerge as people engage with each other -- and themselves -- throughout the week. It's likely to prove a battle between those who are content to do things in a way that is familiar and comfortable to them, and those who desire to explore new methods of doing the things that must be done.
All must be willing to see things as they are this week, for the shared view is certain to be more important than one's individual outlook. Any attempts to make things sound better or worse than they are will merely prove disingenuous, and others will surely see through them.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You must slow down this week in order to navigate a tricky junction successfully. Someone who is on this journey with you is critical of your methods. (April 5-April 19) -- You can't let someone knock you off your plate simply by offering a different opinion; be strong and confident, and continue along your current course.
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- A personal journey nears its conclusion this week, though you don't really want it to end, do you? It's a good time to indulge in a little nostalgia. (May 6-May 20) -- A project receives a boost this week from someone who perhaps didn't know you were involved. It may be a good idea for you to maintain a low profile a little while longer.
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You'll want to adopt a very careful approach this week -- and maintain it until a current project has come to fruition. Don't get lazy or careless! (June 7-June 20) -- Your preparations this week should go very well, and you may find yourself waiting for someone to catch up to you before you can move ahead together.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- Where two different types of people clash this week, you're likely to find yourself playing the role of referee -- and you must uphold any and all rules. (July 8-July 22) -- A difference of opinion early in the week threatens to run your train right off the track at some point -- unless you can see your way clear to suggesting a compromise.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- Communication proves more difficult than expected this week as those methods that have been so reliable in the past fail you temporarily. Be creative. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You have to make a choice this week between complaining about the situation you are in or working to change it from the inside out. Only one leaves you truly satisfied.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You know which way the wind blows, surely, but that doesn't mean you cannot indulge someone's whims this week. Don't lose sight of your destination. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You're leaning toward a certain conclusion this week that may not be supported by the evidence. Before you commit, take the time to look at things from another angle.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You're getting to the heart of the matter, surely, but someone close to you is missing the point of your efforts. Do you have time to explain yourself clearly? (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You'll be giving yourself a good deal of credit this week if you are able to continue along your current path without bending to suggestion or succumbing to distraction.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- Do you want to observe this week, or do you want to take part? There is a different reward to be had from each; it's a matter of timing, perhaps. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You are not where you had hoped to be by now -- but is that really something to worry about? This week, you can make a great deal out of what seems to be nothing. Strike a bargain.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- You're after something that is of great value only to you -- so it may be difficult to get another to share in your enthusiasm. This needn't be a problem! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- By week's end, you'll understand what they mean when they say "practice makes perfect" -- and that, in turn, will inspire you to seek an altogether new personal approach.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You can exert a positive influence on others all week, even as someone exerts a similar influence on you. You needn't fear any hazards or obstacles. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- Assumptions may be necessary as you get started this week, but, at some point, you must be willing and able to put them aside and deal in hard-and-fast realities.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You can expect much to happen this week, and you're likely to be at the center of a lot of it. When the pressure builds, a certain someone helps you cope. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You'll want to keep everything clearly in view and within arm's reach if at all possible. Lose sight of something valuable this week and you may never see it again.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- You mustn't spend too much time thinking about what others are doing -- or how they are doing it. Certain trends, however, may prove valuable to you. (March 6-March 20) -- A message is lost on its way to you this week, and then it is found, lost again and finally delivered. You're able to put the information it contains to good use right away.
