Scorpio

(Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

It’s important to be in touch with all sides of the argument, especially feelings that are contradictory at the start of the week. Sure, they’re contradictory, but your ability to contain equal and opposite reactions is part of what makes you magnificently human.

Sagittarius

(Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

While a little bluntness is effective, it’s not the only method available. Try being as kind and compassionate as possible when you’re figuring out home truths and you’ll find that your quality of life improves drastically.

Capricorn

(Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

You find the beauty in taking care of practical matters. Just make sure you’re not so efficient at taking care of your own business that you inadvertently start doing another’s work as well.

Aquarius

(Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

You’re amazed at how a little organization makes your life so much easier. There’s a time and a place for spontaneity, too. Trying to impose logic on emotions will just leave you feeling frustrated over the weekend. Learn to respect feelings for what they are.

Pisces

(Feb. 20-March 20)

You want to make progress, but if you’re honest with yourself, you’re not exactly sure what your ambitions are. This week is ideal for thinking about plans and making concrete goals. The more specific those goals are, the more achievable they’ll be.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

It’s paradoxical, yet true: Following rules and regulations actually leaves you freer. Not only do you end up ahead of schedule, but having things done on time gives you considerable peace of mind. Try to get a jump on things during the first half of the week.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

Admit it — there’s something deeply satisfying about a completed to-do list. Just don’t get so caught up in checking off tasks that you lose sight of the larger arena. There’s a great, big world out there and it needs to be explored by you.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

The first few days of the week may be demanding. The latter half will be much more loosey-goosey. The quicker you discharge your appointed duties, the sooner you can get to the more light-hearted portion of your weekly schedule.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

If you feel overwhelmed by all that you have to do, take some time to think about what’s so urgent, and if the sense of urgency is genuine or coming from some other place. Time off makes you more efficient, especially since your break will light a fire under your synapses.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Figuring out what you want is the first order of the week. Go slowly on Monday and Tuesday, because by Wednesday your plan will demand all of your time and commitment. Thursday and Friday are slightly more bewildering.

Virgo

(Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

The first half of the week allows you to sharpen your leadership skills, especially when it comes to making the most out of the least. Spend the latter half of the week dreaming big dreams. Use the weekend to process your emotions.

Libra

(Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

Your diplomacy is a gift, but it can also be a double-edged sword. There are times when you’ll need to employ your most graceful communication skills and other times when only a blunt instrument will do. The trick is knowing when to use what mode.
