Aries

MAR 21 - APR 19

Think about what you're going to say, then pick up the phone and place the call. Taking the first few days of the week step-by-step is the best way to survive the frantic -- albeit fun -- times. Tuesday and Wednesday, if you find yourself flirting with someone, make yourself clear. This is also crucial on Thursday or Friday, but the people you'll be dealing with will most likely be family members and the tenor of the conversation might be difficult and emotionally charged. A different kind of charge -- a blast of energy -- lifts your weekend to great heights.

 

Taurus

APR 20 - MAY 20

Monday through Wednesday are not great days to make major decisions about the future of your cash. In the present tense, cash will be uncharacteristically flying out of your pockets. More than anything, you're spending money on entertaining ways to waste time. This is all well and good, but Thursday and Friday strike a deeper note -- your close friends are in the picture, and it's been a while since you've caught up. Hanging out with someone and talking for hours is the best use of your Friday night. Saturday and Sunday, romance and art are prominent themes.

 

Gemini

MAY 21 - JUN 20

It's not raining, it's pouring the first half of the week -- metaphorically, at least. You were in the mood to meet some new people, and a bus full of new people has just pulled up to your life. (If you're single and looking, this is an especially wonderful development.) Chatting, handshaking and even flirting take up your week until Thursday, when money concerns distract you from your social life. Friday is a high point in your week -- you've gotten a lot done -- and Saturday and Sunday are fun, friend-filled and active.

 

Cancer

JUN 21 - JUL 22

Your wild side is coming through at the start of the week and people are responding well to it. You are the kind of person who makes an impact. Let your creative brilliance solve whatever conundrums are puzzling the people around you. Toward the middle of the week, your mind fills with possibilities for the future. This is a time for new beginnings. The workweek ends with the spotlight on you, and it stays there throughout the weekend -- a weekend that sees you rewarding yourself with an extravagant purchase.

 

Leo

JUL 23 - AUG 22

A party is a fine place to get some things figured out. You and your friends have a casual rapport that strikes fairly deeply, shorthand that lets you talk about weighty issues with lightness and humor. You are constantly impressed by these friends, especially on Wednesday, and Thursday and Friday your chest swells with contentment. Intuition, sensitivity and pride all figure strongly toward the end of the week. This weekend, someone who has heard good things about you will finally get to meet you; and they'll treat you like a celebrity.

 

Virgo

AUG 23 - SEP 22

What you need at the outset of the week is the skills of a mathematician. If you're not a mathematician, just work extra hard to be logical and reasonable when dealing with whatever comes your way. Emotional investment isn't paying off at this juncture. That said, be as warm as possible when communicating with others. Thursday and Friday, largely because you're giving off good vibes, a family event you've been dreading turns out to be a blast. On Saturday and Sunday, rely on your flexibility and organizational prowess to get everything done.

 

Libra

SEP 23 - OCT 22

You're sick of what you already know. You'd rather wing it in a conversation over a subject you've hardly ever considered. This is related to a desire -- that is strong Monday through Wednesday -- to experience new things. To grow mentally.To expand. Thursday and Friday, you have little time to acquire information, what with all the things everyone else needs from you; but even in your most trying moments you have an eye on the beauty around you. The weekend offers plenty of time to be around friends and stare up at the sky.

 

Scorpio

OCT 23 - NOV 21

As good as it can be to take risks in your life, risks aren't going to go your way on Monday or Tuesday. Tempted as you are, you're best off passing them up. Being careful is key. Don't let any minor details escape your attention on Wednesday. Thursday, the tension finally breaks and you can rely more on your wits. Sometimes it's a lot more fun to go along for the ride than to be the person setting the course. Without the stress of being in control, you can open yourself up to worry-free bliss. Worries about work weigh on you this weekend. Modesty and calmness are the answer.

 

Sagittarius

NOV 22 - DEC 21

Some people like to sit on the porch and talk about their dreams. You'd rather march into the world and realize yours. But there are a lot of porch-sitters in your life, so for the first half of the week, keep your head down and ignore them. The second half of the week, you're more open to other people, but you'd still be wise to follow your mood, and if that means building a fort with couch cushions, crawling in with a book and shutting out the rest of the world, so be it. Something takes you beyond your sofa this weekend -- a trip? -- and the journey does you tons of good.

 

Capricorn

DEC 22 - JAN 19

People love chatting with you, but your chatting time Monday through Wednesday is crowded out by more pressing tasks. Be nice, of course, but don't let yourself get trapped in a conversation about, say, what was on TV last night. The best way to get through this week is narrowing your aim and strike quickly at everything. As you check things off your list, your momentum will build and you'll get more done than you ever thought possible. Focus on one person on Friday; lay on the love. Saturday and Sunday, nothing is as it seems.

 

Aquarius

JAN 20 - FEB 18

The fires of your romantic life are burning so brightly Monday through Wednesday that you can't see anything else. The connection isn't just about physical attraction; it's deeper and more cerebral than that. If you could spend every hour of the week with this person, you would, but Thursday has something else in store for you: a lot of responsibilities to see through. Friday finds you tending to some long-overlooked chores as well, although you find them therapeutic. Saturday and Sunday are marked by creativity and sudden changes.

 

Pisces

FEB 19 - MAR 20

You are not charging out of the gate on Monday. Matter of fact, you might not even leave the house. The start of the week -- through Wednesday -- you are busy but not particularly ambitious socially. A sense of uncertainty weighs heavily on you, at least until Thursday, when an unexpected romantic development puts a smile on your face. Expect the grin to last through Friday. Saturday and Sunday, you are inspired to go on a new health kick. In addition to ensuring you look good, this will help you feel good, too.
