Aries

MAR 21 - APR 19

The support and assistance you need on Monday? You're going to get it, as a friend who can be of help is ready and waiting. Tuesday and Wednesday, luck is slightly less on your side; try not to let frustration get the best of you and remember that not everything can go your way all the time. Things will be going your way again by Thursday. It's one of those up-and-down weeks. The fun to be had on Friday is of the spontaneous, unexpected variety (the best kind of fun), but Saturday and Sunday are more even-keeled and quietly satisfying.

 

Taurus

APR 20 - MAY 20

It's almost as if you've awoken in a cartoonist's rendering of your life on Monday -- everything seems basically familiar, but skewed. Don't read too much into this or you'll drive yourself nuts. Tuesday and Wednesday, if you're feeling like a lone pilot on a rocket ship to Mars, nudge a friend and get them to bring you back to Earth. It is not in your nature to be rash, but a hurried feeling defines Thursday and Friday for you. Again: weird. Breathe deeply. Take things slowly. Everything else will be back to normal (actually, better than normal) this weekend.

 

Gemini

MAY 21 - JUN 20

Rather than be solid in your opinions, why not be fluid, transparent and adaptable? What's the use of stubbornness? You find yourself radically influenced by someone else at the start of the week, and you, inspired, spend the middle of the week considering radical changes to your life. By Thursday and Friday, you're an advice-collecting machine, leaving no stone unturned and exhausting your friends. By the weekend you've achieved a higher degree of focus than you've had in a while. However, focus and clarity are not the same things, and clarity's still a short ways away.

 

Cancer

JUN 21 - JUL 22

You exert emotional influence on the people around you, but don't go for emotions on Monday, go for ideas. Rationality is your terrain right now. Tuesday and Wednesday leave you more time for letting your mind wander, and you may decide to wander literally too -- through a park, through a mall or maybe even go for a drive. Thursday and Friday, everyday concerns return you to a more practical mindset (again, don't react emotionally). Saturday and Sunday are crowded with people -- maybe there's a party planned? If not, maybe there should be.

 

Leo

JUL 23 - AUG 22

Your pride is a wise thing to swallow on Monday. Who needs it? At the present time, it's only getting in the way. Tuesday and Wednesday provide ample opportunities for you to listen -- to others as well as to yourself. You don't need to pretend like you have answers you don't have. You'll enjoy learning something new on Thursday and having your opinion about something challenged (and changed) on Friday. As clear as everything once seemed to you, the weekend brings the news that nothing is black and white -- a crucial point, and a good thing to be reminded of.

 

Virgo

AUG 23 - SEP 22

You're still heading in the same direction, you're just taking a different road: That's the way you see yourself on Monday. You are optimistic and happy to be so organized. Others around you may be less so (Why are you always the organized one?) but they're no less directed. Rather than criticize their methods, revel in what you have in common. Although, speaking of things you have in common, resources are tight on Thursday and Friday and a generous impulse on your part to give up what you have may not be feasible. Compatibility and philosophical depth make the weekend interesting.

 

Libra

SEP 23 - OCT 22

No matter what you wear on Monday, the day is going to be blazingly fun -- so you might as well wear something outrageous. Colors! Stripes! Try something new! Others will respond with unprecedented enthusiasm. Even midweek, as the world's more mundane aspects threaten to drive your gaze toward the ground, the icicles that hang off of rain gutters will remind you uncannily of carrots and medieval weaponry and other strange objects -- in short, the natural beauty of the world will amaze you. Thursday and Friday are what you make them, and the weekend is an extended, harmonious reverie.

 

Scorpio

OCT 23 - NOV 21

Recent tension around the house may explode in the form of an emotional outburst on Monday -- but take it lightly. At least all the issues are on the table, and that is better than them being kept in secret cabinets. Besides, Tuesday and Wednesday will be so full of activity completely outside the home realm that you may forget about everything, else at least for a short while. Thursday and Friday you're at your happiest helping other people. By Saturday you've narrowed your attention to a certain single someone; spend Sunday focusing on this relationship.

 

Sagittarius

NOV 22 - DEC 21

Nothing is more thrilling to you on Monday than the simple exchange of ideas -- it hardly matters with whom the ideas are exchanged; everyone brings aspects of their own lives into a conversation, and everyone's lives are different. Listening to someone else reminisce about their past in the middle of the week may lead you to thoughts of your own past, but the romantic events of Thursday and Friday ground you once again firmly in the present. Saturday and Sunday, communication is good, and so is the food. Don't overeat, but don't be shy.

 

Capricorn

DEC 22 - JAN 19

You know what they say about the best-laid plans? No matter how much you try to make Monday go your way, it's just going to be a crazy day, and at a certain point, it's wise to opt for a more passive role. Tuesday and Wednesday, your fun comes from creative pursuits -- art, music, poetry -- but toward the end of the week, you take your fun wherever you can find it. Worry is more the order of the moment. Until Saturday, that is. Saturday and Sunday are glorious days. A kid may tell you a joke that has your gut muscles hurting for days.

 

Aquarius

JAN 20 - FEB 18

Your excitement is infectious on Monday -- even through the phone company picks up on it and responds in kind. People are listening to you, that much is clear. Tuesday and Wednesday are too muddled with financial concerns for you to feel like you're having much of a positive effect on the people around you; but on Thursday, money is the last thing on your mind -- except as far as altruism is concerned. Friday sees you pondering such high-minded subjects as humanitarianism and freedom, but the weekend returns you to much smaller concerns. Express yourself eccentrically on Sunday.

 

Pisces

FEB 19 - MAR 20

What with everything running through your head on Monday, it's hard to see straight, so focus on one thing and do it well. Tuesday and Wednesday are more conducive to experimentation -- transformation and rediscovery (especially on a personal level) figure strongly. Thursday and Friday, whatever discoveries you made earlier in the week will suddenly be called into question, but this is what always happens when an intelligent person thinks intelligently about their own intelligence: an endless cerebral fog. Ground yourself this weekend. Put on some music and take off your shoes.
