Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23) There’s too much happening at the outset of the week for you to get a handle on anything. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are productive but pleasant — as fine a time as ever to chart plans and discuss ideas. Shopping figures into your day Friday. Saturday has you thinking about money. Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23) You may not have all the answers, but someone else thinks you do. You’re admired. If the group is without a leader and you have what the group needs, step up to the task. You are a good listener and grudges slide right through your fingertips these days. Friday, some heavy-duty flirting sets your heart aflutter. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Work is worrying you Monday — something’s up with the boss. If you find yourself tiptoeing around, this is probably smart of you. Being flamboyant and forward is not the answer right now. Tuesday or Wednesday, someone will let you in on a secret that changes your understanding of an issue you thought you had all figured out. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Monday, you are the beneficiary of good luck and also some long-time-in-coming goodwill. Wednesday and Thursday, an authority figure puts a cramp in your style, but by Friday, you’re getting hugs from friends for no reason at all. When someone asks you about your hopes for the future Friday or Saturday, your goals will suddenly seem more attainable than ever. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) Whatever assumptions you have at the start of the week, drop them. Spend Tuesday and Wednesday doing research. There are so many things you don’t know yet. Thursday you’re going to achieve a lot. Friday you’ll have time to devote to a new project. You go into Saturday with a ton of energy and a goal. Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) Sometimes the most amazing experiences begin with the most unpromising circumstances. It’s something to remember this week. Wednesday and Thursday are business-related. Friday is social but intellectually stimulating. Saturday you stumble across something utterly, wonderfully, mind-bendingly new. Unwind this Sunday. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) Your way of doing things works great for you, but it might not work great for someone else. It’s important not to be bossy, and it’s especially important this week. Relationships with the people around you are the key to your well-being right now. When a problem arises with a partner at the end of the week, be quick on your toes and solve it right away. Aries (March 21-April 20) Exercise figures Monday, but it’s fun exercise — the kind you barely notice. The middle of the week is less dreamy and fun, but don’t stop exercising. It will keep you in good spirits even as the details and the drudgery threaten to drag you down. Friday you’re happy and charming.Taurus (April 21-May 21) Monday finds you having to mediate a dispute between two friends — and then becoming involved yourself. Find a way to back out of the situation gracefully, perhaps by fully admitting that it was never any of your business. Tuesday through Thursday is fun. Friday and Saturday are exciting, and Sunday is low-key. Gemini (May 22-June 21) Words come easily to you Monday, and everyone around you seems to be responding well. If only the same could be said for your communications with your family Tuesday. And Wednesday. And Thursday. You and your family have just hit a rough patch, communications-wise. Meanwhile you’ll be preoccupied by way too much communication (correspondence, phone calls, emails, chatter) in the rest of your life. Cancer (June 22-July 22) Monday, nothing is too grandiose for your tastes and you feel like showing off a bit. Tuesday brings a return to modesty somewhat, with you focusing on small details and quality friendships. Wednesday and Thursday you will have fun with friends. Make some plans together. Your family needs your attention this weekend. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Whatever you do Monday, let your heart be your guide and proceed with confidence. Tuesday, the outside world will give you a bit of a sinking feeling and you’ll find yourself retreating into your own head. Wednesday and Thursday are quiet, introverted days as well. Friday is all friends and action and romance. |
