Taurus (April 21-May 21) Your friends are spectacular people — people who have been doing their thing long enough to know what it’s like when the winds of change come in and reorganize everything. Consult with them. On Thursday, you’ll be in the mood to make a change, maybe with a big purchase. Expect to be distracted from everything else by an unexpectedly high-energy weekend. Gemini (May 22-June 21) It’s maddening how quickly things sometimes go from being perfectly clear to totally blurry. You thought you knew exactly what was going on with you-know-who, but a couple of new clues are baffling to you. On Tuesday, to avoid any miscommunication, be as precise as possible. On Thursday, go to a friend for some advice. Cancer (June 22-July 22) You have more energy than you know what to do with at the beginning of the week. On Wednesday, you might blurt something that would better be left unsaid, which will remind you that sometimes your energy can get the better of you. Slow down a bit. Consider your words. This weekend, at a dinner party among friends, you won’t have to be so careful. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) As much as you’d like to get everything squared away and taken care of, Monday is not the day to commit to any financial agreements. You’re in a creative, introspective mood. Put off business matters for another day. On Wednesday, a perfect stranger is going to become a fast friend — or, at least, a long conversation with someone you barely know is going to make a big impression on you. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23) Everything was peaches and cream there for a little while, but one or two of the relationships in your life may be turning sour at the beginning of the week. If taking the high road could help smooth things over, by all means, take the high road. On Wednesday, you’re going to discovery a true sense of purpose for yourself, and it’s going to make all your recent combative interactions seem silly. Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23) You would love to be thinking about your recent conquests in the romance department, but you can’t afford to be daydreaming at the beginning of the week. You have way too much to do. Focus and get things done and then, by Wednesday or Thursday, you’ll be able to devote yourself once again to you-know-who. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) It’s time to put a couple of your hidden talents to use. You have a richer imagination than you sometimes give yourself credit for, and this new romance could benefit from one of your wilder ideas. Plus, you’re something of an artist. Figure out a way to really dazzle this person Monday or Tuesday. On Wednesday and Thursday, you’re going to be preoccupied by a couple friends who need your help. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) The week is going to be slow to start, and there’s not a whole lot you can do about it. You’ll probably misplace your shoes and forget to turn off the coffeemaker and leave the front door unlocked on your way out. But things will return to normal by Wednesday. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) You are a compassionate person, and early this week you’ll spend a lot of time thinking about other people. Your family will weigh heavily on your thoughts Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday, your focus is going to shift to this new and unexpectedly artful relationship in your life. Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) You’d like to buy something early in the week, but there’s a chance you don’t have the means to afford it. Double-check your balance with the bank before you swipe your card. This is a week of advanced ideas. The more you learn about yourself, the more you want to learn. This weekend, you will learn something valuable from an older relative. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) If you’ve been holding out on making a purchase, it’s time to plunk down the cash. If you’ve been thinking of spending an afternoon at the spa, why not? Wednesday and Thursday are going to be confusing. On Thursday in particular, you’re going to feel like you’ve walked into a video game and you don’t know any of the rules. Friday, you’ll be returned to the world you know and love. Aries (March 21-April 20) At the beginning of this week, your dreams are bright and vivid. They are trying to tell you something, but the message is frustratingly unclear. On Wednesday, maybe spurred by all the imaginative energy in your subconscious, you’re ready for an adventure. Plan for a stay-at-home weekend. |
