Capricorn

    (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

    A long-distance phone call brings you more relevant news at the beginning of the week than you expected. And, if the person on the other end is an old pal, the interaction will leave you feeling grounded and content. Thursday and Friday are all work. Weekend will be fun.

Aquarius

(Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

You might as well take care of the details from the outset, because you’ll have to take care of them at some point. Not everyone may be on the same page as you, and the fault may be your own. Wednesday, a chance interaction with someone you barely know will lead to a revelation. Remain connected with your friends and associates later this week.

Pisces

(Feb. 20-March 20)

Your analytical mind can be too much for a friend seeking solace. Sometimes the best course of action is to listen. If advice is solicited, follow your intuition. The second half of the week, you’ll be collecting favors — and maybe even money — from others.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

Monday and Tuesday, take things slowly, but don’t take them so slowly that you obsess over unimportant things. Friday, you may want to go the extra mile to cheer someone up. Take a good rest this weekend.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

Monday and Tuesday are smooth sailing on the river of love. Wednesday through Friday, you may feel nostalgic. You may be a bit lazy this week, but try not to let that mood get the best of you. Romance is the theme of your weekend.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

Try as you might, communication doesn’t come easily Monday and Tuesday — especially with your family. Wednesday, when you can turn your focus to love life, you will find yourself eloquent. Thursday and Friday you will be busy and happy that you have someone to think of.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

If you narrow your gaze, the important clues will stand out as the week begins. Home issues dominate your life Wednesday through Friday. Your domestic bliss may be challenged. Think of excuses to spend time outside. Be sure you understand the terms before you sign any financial agreement.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You are devoted to straightening out your finances as the week begins. Treasure your friendship midweek. Dating, sharing feelings, and helping others are important toward the end of the week. You will have some kind of an insight this weekend.

Virgo

(Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

Tidying up your desk, or your car, or your house Monday. It may be a more productive task than you realize. Tuesday is a fine day to start a new project, but watch unnecessary expenditures Wednesday and Thursday.

Libra

(Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

You are very patient as the week begins. Tuesday especially, you’re a wonderful listener. The second half of the week is charged with social energy, but the weekend finds you a bit mopey. Money matters weigh on you, as do career matters.

Scorpio

(Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

The information you receive Monday helps you immensely. Now you have a plan. Get on the phone and make sure your friends have your back. Try to help others Tuesday. You never know when you’ll need to collect a favor. The second half of the week, decisions come less easily than you may have thought.

Sagittarius

(Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

Others may drive you crazy Monday and Tuesday, but why let on? Save your lectures for situations that matter. Your reserve will pay off nicely. People will love you midweek. Thursday and Friday bring still more compliments on the social front.
