Taurus (April 21-May 21)

Take a risk as the week begins, especially in romance. In any social situation, though, you can count on being rewarded for your daring. You’ll need to curb your more cantankerous side midweek. Others might try to draw you into ego battles and power struggles, but a little diplomacy can go a long way.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

Conflicting demands will make it difficult to be flexible Monday. The situation should lighten up midweek, as you find yourself the center of attention, surrounded by like-minded friends who want to have fun debating heady ideas. Later this week, you’ll need to focus on life’s smaller details.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Expect your week to begin on an enthusiastic, energetic note. You’ll have no shortage of drive or direction Monday and others will pitch in to help you accomplish anything you put your mind to. Later this week, see to the details and focus on accomplishing smaller tasks.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You’re feeling exceptionally generous with your affection and attention as the week begins and that’s a good thing. Your warmth and earnestness could help others accomplish a lot Monday and you can expect to receive that same support returned to you in the days ahead. Midweek, you’re the center of attention and no effort of yours will go unaided.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

Start your week off by organizing something social and fun. That group energy can leave you feeling revved up and ready for anything. Midweek, you might start to feel overwhelmed by pesky details, but don’t despair — with a little flexibility, you can help yourself and others get organized.

Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

Keep your head down as the week begins. Events will conspire to disrupt your routine, but your easy-going nature can steer you clear. Midweek, others will look to you to take the lead, so be generous with your ideas and your optimistic attitude. Later this week, look for opportunities to hang out with friends.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

As the week begins, don’t be bashful about going after what you want. Midweek, you need to curb your ego if you want to avoid getting entangled in an unwelcome power struggle. Later this week, spend time with good friends. Not only will you have fun, you’ll probably learn a secret or two, too.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

Follow your inquisitive mood as the week begins, even if it means asking tough questions. Midweek, you’ll be back to your freewheeling, happy-go-lucky self. Luck is on your side and you should take every attractive risk that comes along. Later this week, you’ll need to be a little more cautious with details and the demands of others.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

There’s change in the air as the week begins. Watch out for new — and challenging — ideas Monday. Even if others overreact, don’t take any of the resulting debate personally. Later this week, your extraordinary planning skills and command of the facts will earn you applause, possibly from someone far away.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

Everything might not be going your way Monday, but take a deep breath and realize this is just a phase. Midweek, sudden shifts could change your current outlook completely, so don’t hesitate to experiment and seek out bold, new discoveries. Later this week, you’ll need to take extra care in dealing with details and competing agendas.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

Celebrate the start of your week by creating something new — whether it’s a new breakfast, a new friendship or even a new theme song. Complicating details threaten to overwhelm midweek. If you can keep your head down, though, you can resist getting swept up in the demands of others.

    Aries (March 21-April 20)

    Don’t hold back as the week begins. Monday, you should follow the urge to let others know how you’re feeling. That emotional clearing could leave you feeling exceptionally energetic. Use this boost in creativity and competitiveness to mix things up and make things happen.
